Pink Floyd. Ever since my friend died, a lot of their songs have really resonated with me.
I don't think I'll ever stop wishing he were here.

My entire life was changed by one song.

Linkin Park got me into the metal genre with "In the End" was like.. never heard anything this awesome before
All That Remains took the step a notch further, into MetalCore and then.. it just escalated into death metal, speed, power, thrash and so on... i discovered the metal world.

Far be it from me to doubt the possibility of a song being interpreted as what-have-you; from all the above posts, it is abundantly clear that the notion holds some water, at least in non-absolute terms.
Ah well, I'll stick to things with more...metaphysical value.
As for anything 'life-changing', I've managed to do well on my own part for that. I've always felt as though having one's life changed by some foreign entity, such as a song or a speaker or what-have-you, would make one inclined to feel as though he or she owed something to it. I prefer to be above such dependencies.
Jeez, I can only imagine what sort of a response I'll get for that. Let it be said that I put my little disclaimer up at the top of the post! I don't doubt these testimonies at all, on the record.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ this song is honestly one of the most influential songs on my way through high school. Got me through some tough days.
But on a more serious note:

Growing up in my town all we had to listen to was soft country since that was the only radio we had to listen to. But I listened to Metallica and it really expanded my taste into genres I didn't even know existed. Others as I grew up more were Linkin Park (the song numb and faint mostly) and, more embarassingly, Good Charlotte.

This song is fairly recent but it really got me into actually paying attention to music in video games.

A combination of these two songs indirectly changed my life.
They are two songs that convinced my friend to finally sit down and watch My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. And in turn he was eventually able to convince me to watch it and now I have ponies around my computer. Didn't see that coming.

What the hell is going on in here? I can't tell if you guys are being serious with some of the songs you post...
I don't know if I'd say that this song has changed my life, but I always come back to it. It's the perfect expression of how I feel most of the time. Lonely, wondering why I'm so lonely, while acknowledging all the reasons I am the way I am. I feel trapped in my own little cycle of self-pity that stems entirely from me and my simultaneous desire to be left alone and to have some meaningful connection.
I guess it helped me realize that.

I can't point to particular songs that straight-up changed my life, but there's one song that I found recently that's absolutely left me astounded:
Seriously, Asura's Wrath seems to have gone by more or less unnoticed by much of the gaming community, yet it has an amazing story and a phenomenal score.

Man, I'm glad you guys introduced me to BrokeNCYDE, Spermswamp, and Linken Park.
Probably the two songs that have enriched and enlightened me the most:
And of course some Pink Floyd
It's amazing how much a simple arrangement of notes and words can change you. Make you more than you thought possible.

Daft Punk- One More Time
It change my life as in finally have a music type to prefer among the other type. Before that there were a few music I liked but none to make me to pick that type as my favourite. To this day Dance music is still my favourite including Daft Punk.

I can't find the actual "song" online and can't be bothered to upload it myself, so I'll just post something from the same album.
Afterwards I started doing lots of ecstasy instead of coke and heroin. My girlfriend didn't. I'm still alive.

I was a geeky 15 year old kid, working on my high school's website. Until then, I was an amoeba - I had no style, no personality, I just existed. One day in the computer lab, updating the website, I was called into the office by the IT man, who wanted to show me something. That something was a tribute to the greatest song in the world.
From them on my life changed. My bland, plain clothes went out the window, my hair got spiked, and something pure, something metal was awakened in my soul. Since that awakening I have been a dedicate to the religion of metal, devouring and praising bands with true talent with my very soul.
This song for introducing me to what is now my favouritestesed band ever!
This song for introducing me to my second favourite band, and also to the pretty awesome Industrial culture that seems to be going on in Germany:
And this song because it is simply amazing:
