Hi!

What a fantastic thread!

Well Live did not change my whole life but Live changed the way I deal with it and with the world.
And I hope that they will go on bring out new songs for a very long time.
It sounds silly, but I need it to learn from it.
I need to learn to figure out how to carry the difficult things in my life any better and to become really peaceful and how to help other people to be peaceful too.
And it reminds me that I have to consider other people and the nature when I do things.

I was almost 25 when I started to listen to Live, I was very busy to look at everything that had already happened to me AND I was sad about things which were (and sadly still are) going wrong in this world.
And I had just figured out that I was not very happy with who I had become.

It was a few months after 9/11, and I felt sad about what happened, felt very sorry for the people who had lost beloved people, was angry with the terrorists and I felt that there was something changed inside of me, but I did not know what it was, until I saw the clip of "Overcome" with all that words and lines.
I read: "Can you imagine world peace?"
And all of a sudden I new what was bottering me: I was sure that I could do that before and I'm sure that I could.
But then, I read that line on that moment....and I thought: I don't know.
And that was hard.
But in the end I finally knew what was changed inside of me.
And I read things like: What can you do for your country? and: What can you do for the world?
And the idealist in me woke up after a far too long sleep.

I made up my mind, bought all albums of Live as soon as possible and discovered a lot in the lyrics while listening.
Things about me, what I could do, sometimes a very hard confrontation with things.
There are still songs I'm hardly able to listen to because they bring too much painful things up in my mind (but I play them sometimes because I think that I have to).
But majority of the songs are awesome to me and contain things that I can use to become a better person (for example to give it at least a try to see things from different points of few) and the songs of SFBM (which are beautiful to me) remind me of enjoying the good things in life like the nature, nice people, music.
And that makes me feel good and motivates me to make dicisions that are not only good for me but also consider other people and the nature and which maybe improve this world a very very little bit.

So in fact it has changed ''me".
