Can a band save your life?

I think so.

Anything can change your life.
A kind word, a quote that inspires, a book, a television commercial jingle.

You hear people say, "One day I just woke up."

But something provoked them, for certain. It may have been a dream.. a sleeping, cognitive decision.. but more likely it was a trigger. Something happened.. they heard or saw something that they connected with.

That connection caused the change.

That's what Radiohead did to me.
I don't know why it was Radiohead. I mean, before my current obsession, I was listening to Eddie Vedder's soundtrack to "Into the Wild".. Quite powerful stuff..
Maybe that was the trigger.

And yet.. 8-9 months later, I'm still listening to Radiohead. Every day.
It's not getting old. Sure, they have quite a catalog.. I have almost 700 Radiohead songs on my ipod.

The connection is it. I connect with the lyrics, the rhythm, the flow of the songs.

To what extent?
Well, I feel I've changed everything in my life.
I've learned to live the life I want.
To become the person I've always wanted to be.. but have always been.
I've lost weight.
I'm happy.
Happy.
So very happy.
Thank you radiohead!
