The Wishing Chair by 10,000 Manics

Released in 1985

First year I listened to it properly was 2009 or 2010

The significance is, well I discovered 10,000 Maniacs in my father's music collection. And I used to listen to dark and depressing music, but I dunno, I just got tired of it. And I sought out new sounds. 10,000 Maniacs had one hell of an intriguing name and I was sure they'd be of same caliber of music was I kinda leaving behind.

I gave them a try anyway and instantly fell head over heels in love with Natalie Merchant's voice. I listened to her songs a lot and over the last few years I've looked into the meaning behind her words, that gave me a new appreciation for her.
