Nancy Sinatra's These Boots Were Made For Walking (1966) was
the first album that made an impression on me, a deep lasting
impression that exists now forty years later. Although I was seven at
the time, I had already embraced the joys of two girlfriends and the
heartbreak of losing each, so many of the themes on Boots were
somewhat familiar to me, and of those themes that were then still
beyond my experience, I learned the lessons from songs like "Boots..."
and "Lies".
The song that has had the greatest impact on me is the one linked at right, "In My Room", a proto-goth ditty that tells much but leaves even more to be imagined. By the way, I noticed that few sites have the correct lyrics. Here they are:

In my room
down at the end of the hall.
I sit and I stare at the wall.
Each day is just like the last
for I live
in the past.In my room
where every night is the same.
I play a dangerous game.
I keep pretending he's late
and I sit
and I wait.Over there is the picture
we took when he made me his bride.
Over there is the chair
where he held me whenever I cried.
Over there by the window
the flowers he left
have all died.In my room
down at the end of the hall.
I sit at I stare at the wall,
hating how lonely I've grown
all alone
in my room.
