Put your headphones on, close your eyes. Embrace the possibility of the life-changing power of music. And perhaps one of these songs will change your life too.

Music can inspire our greatest creations, salve our deepest wounds, make us fall in - or out of - love. It can also be a window into another's soul. Based on the popular live storytelling series, OneTrackMinds is a collection of twenty-five compelling answers to the question, 'What was the song that changed your life?'

Featuring pieces from a stellar cast of contributors including Peter Tatchell, Inua Ellams, Cash Carraway, Rhik Samadder, Ingrid Oliver and Joe Dunthorne, alongside some of the UK's most exciting new voices, the book compiles many of the standout stories from the live show so far. Just as rich and varied are the songs themselves, by artists ranging from Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell to Aphex Twin and the Replacements via Tupac, Prince and the Spice Girls.

The result is an entertaining, enlightening musical guide to the best of what makes us human.
