Thought it would be nice to have a topic about music that hits you at the right moment in time by having something you can't grasp at first. Discovering something about you, your thoughts or the world. (While not "great when you're high" because that's boring and average)
Tried to describe my impressions but put them into spoilers because music should not be listended to with a mindset.

Crumb - Locket

Interesting how the low fi sound develops into...as whatever this could be defined. Nice weird video.

Crumb - Bones
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nD3iG6m44g8
the saxophone part somehow got to me

French 79 - Hometown
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAv5pLO37mE
First time watching I got teary eyed. Maybe it due to the weeklong isolation or my sometimes emerging angst (about everything). I guess what really struck a chord with me is how these four people experienced something personal and inspiring. The video has short film quality and helps to convey a lot of that for me. And the deep synthesizer tones are kind of sad but also uplifting at the same time. Without the video it does not carry the same "heaviness" for me and I'm a bit dissappointed that, when you focus on the music alone, there are some percussion elements in there that give it a rather fabricated sound. Wish they had relied more on the sythesizer and less on cheesy piano backup.

Beachhouse - Space song

I'm in it for 1:45 to be honest. The lyrics, while nice, are beginning to fall out of my favour
More views on a unofficial version with scenes from 2oo1 ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9X1C7pTu-M ), but I'm not willing to accept anything else then the original soundtrack to go with these images.

Now please post something cool

My music taste is probably too pop for ya, but I see that you have put effort into posting your more accessible faves, so I'll try.

Since you're asking about music that changed me, I'd have to post a lot of Jonathan Richman. He's been ~~accompanying~~ guiding me since my youth.
If you find his Bandcamp page they'll inform you, that it isn't really his, because:
JONATHAN RICHMAN DOES NOT USE THE INTERNET. ALL EMAILS WILL BE SENT TO BLUE ARROW RECORDS, HIS LABEL.
And my only thought about that was: Of course he doesn't, he's not crazy.

Laura Marling - My Manic and I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djChY6Ol9ig

I was reminded of Marling this morning because I heard in a podcast that she released her new album early. And I thought of this song which I liked a lot back then. It's about the impossibility of living with a mentally ill (and very religious) person.

I like how Space Song gives a completely different meaning/atmosphere to the 2001 footage.
You probably already know that Kubrick had originally commissioned a symphonic soundtrack for the film, but then didn't like it and went with the pop classics we all know. A bit like the Eurythmics 1984 album.

That French 79 video is pretty good, I get what you mean.

Oh! Also Starfucker released a new album today: Future Past Life
Since Being no one, going nowhere they've risen to be one of my most favourite bands.

Geez, you had to get me started about music!
