Love Radiohead. Mine would have been The Smiths - How Soon is Now or Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now.

StCharlotte · 19/06/2019 20:36

At Seventeen by Janis Ian. I was 17. My dad had just died, I thought I was fat and ugly, I was in purgatory and I felt it had been written just for me.

NotMyRealName123 · 19/06/2019 20:37

Totally realised I've put Puddle of Mud - Blurry the wrong way round 🤦‍♂️

RusholmeRuffian · 19/06/2019 20:37

Xiaoxiong · 19/06/2019 20:37

Mine was also Creep by Radiohead, as well as 1979 by Smashing Pumpkins. I'm sure my parents had a good snigger at me behind closed doors!!

daffodillament · 19/06/2019 20:38

Corcra · 19/06/2019 20:40

Pearl Jam - Oceans. I thought Eddie veddar could see into my soul 😂💗

I also like to sing “institutionalized” suicidal tendencies to my parents. It didn’t have the desired effect. They were amused 🤨🤔
