The Songs That Saved My Life

There are so many different forms and types of songs each having a different meaning and everyone can find a song that relates somewhat to them and when you have no one at least you have music. Music can't leave you like friends, it doesn't go away if its not pulled out and listened to for awhile, it will always be there.

But don't forget the songs That made you cry And the songs that saved your life -"Rubber Ring", The Smiths

I think this song is an answer to Morrisey's plea to remember the songs that helped you grow up, even if you've outgrown them; letting him know that he remembers.

My thoughts exactly, about remembering the songs/artists that helped you get through.

Kind of inspired me to go back & listen to the songs that saved my life as well. these boys are amazing, they're gonna make it huge because they are uncomparable to any artist out there today.

This is pretty self-explanitory. Music means a lot to us nowadays, and there is probably one song that is really special to us or may be able to relate to. Maybe there's a song that we listened to in tough times. I guess this is what Mat was talking about. ...Or is there a hidden meaning in it??

I doubt this song has a hidden meaning. It just talks about sometimes you need to relate to music to feel good about yourself like your not the only one going through that... I know i can relate to this song because sometimes you really need to blast the music to get through a tough day.

I agree with The Smiths reference. Only, there's one little line that seems rather specific: "All those times when no one ever came to get me..." If the writer was referring to a girlfriend or buddy, he'd probably say "to pick me up".

My first impression on hearing that one line was of a memory of a child waiting for a parent to pick them up who never shows. They are waiting there at the curb, listening to their walkman (or ipod, depending on your age), watching it get darker and colder, and wondering why they were forgotten again and how they should get home. And thank God they have their music, at least.

This happened to me several times in Jr High school, and listening to this song brought it all back.

I'll remember everything All those times when no one ever came to get me

i can relate to that so well. i used to do clubs and stuff after school and my parents would almost never pick me up. i had to get rides from the councilors, and people there with me eventually started asking their parents everyday if they could pick me up if i needed a ride. teachers were always asking me if i need help... haha. i kind of did actually. but i get over it, you know?

all the nights that i was scared.

i can also relate to that, my parents can get crazy sometimes. its sad when a kid has to lock themselves in a bathroom.

i can relate to basically the whole song, because music got me through ALL of it. it still does. i dont think i could live without music. i need it almost everyday. its like when you listen to music, you get in a different world, like the world of the song. and then it helps you escape the hell that you are actually in.

this song is about times when you hate all of your friends, your family, you dont have the motavation to do anything, and just want to die. When you get this bad, music can really help. Especially songs like this lol.

I love this song. It's exactly how I feel. Without my favorite bands & songs, I don't know where I'd be today.
