What's a song that radicalized you in some way? This one is a non-obvious choice (there were others, earlier) but the video (& Aimee Mann's performance) is still a gut punch (trigger warning for DV, emotional abuse)

Fantastic thread! So many songs spring to mind. But, for me, this one rises to the top. So many themes and issues that still plague our politics and triggers injustice and racism.

Mine is somewhat obscure. In 1978, at age 14, I went with my best friend to a wedding in Northern Ireland. We were stopped at the armed border when we crossed from the Republic. Our car was searched. Soldiers would regularly march through her Granny’s backyard. I then fully understood this song.

Years ago, a local restaurant owner loaned me a bunch of Tommy Makem/Clancy Bros cassettes so I could learn some of his favorite songs to perform during his annual St. Patrick's Day celebration. This was one of the tunes I learned and it's still my favorite of that genre. Hauntingly sad & beautiful.

I remember when this first came out. So powerful. And her voice… rich and clear.

In my “goth” days, I would braid a tail on the side, similar to hers. Didn’t cut the rest of my hair, but would wear it up under a beret or hat.

I walked out on bad dates thanks to this song. I still hadn't found my voice (that actually took dating a BF with a caustic tongue & kind heart—he punched upwards when being verbally brutal, wasn't an asshole/abusive) but my feet got the message & said "no to this shitbird, we're out" a few times!
