The main song is "Unwell" by Matchbox Twenty - it describes perfectly a five year stretch of my life that is, thankfully, now over.

A second song would be "Love Song for No-one" by John Mayer.

How about you Summer? What's your theme song?

I'm Too Sexy by Right Said Fred :)

Super Freak - Rick James :-)

haha, you guys are AWESOMe! my all time favorite song, as cheesy as it is, would have to be Wheel In The Sky by Journey. I feel like it does a great job of describing life....plus i have loved it since i was pretty much in the womb. It has never gotten old for me.

For the time in my life right now, my theme song would have to be

Push- Matchbox 20. I think it does a great job of explaining these past 2 years for me.

Also, i happen to love Beyonce's songs, Listen, and Irreplaceable. I feel like they are both very empowering, and when i listen to them i feel so strong.

Ok, yea I'm totally joking...

This is a hard one, for real. It depends on which moment in my life we're talking about here. I'd have to say Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve...and I'll have to think of more.

Hard to say because it depends at the stage in life at which I find myself. When I was young, Motzart's Eine Kleine Nacht Musik could have been considered my "theme song", as could have the Hungarian Dance #5 by Johannes Brahms, What a Wonderful World by ol' Sachmo, and Mi Viejo San Juan, which I suppose is still somewhat applicable.

Of course, if you consider my marriage, then Aerosmith's I don't want to miss a thing (a Country version of which was done before and I can't for the life of me remember who it was by) and Fly me to the moon by... just about everyone.

While there are other pieces I could mention having been descriptive of me during various stage in life, I would have to say that currently that "honor" goes to Sinatra's Young At Heart, Lee Ann Womac's I Hope You Dance and to a certain extent Blasphemous Rumors by Depeche Mode.

Josh Optimus Prime, that is a great song. I used to take this drive thru Saint Augustine, Florida all the time that was really scenic, and i would listen to that song...and all of a sudden everything would become clear and relaxed. That song is a great depiction of how i feel about life.

Gbord.....depeche mode's blasphemous rumors is a great song!

How about "None of your Business" by Salt n Peppa :)))

Summer1002: "Gbord"?... like Zsa Zsa? :D

HAHA....sorry....i totally meant norb

The Geeks Get the Girls by American Hi-Fi? Yay!

anything from John Legend was made for me

Iris, by the Goo Goo Dolls is a song that I never get tired of listening to, or Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve.

Thank You by Alanis morrissette (sp?) has always meant so much to me. The words are amazing.

Freebird.

Rock on.

No Doubt's Different People - not only am I different from everyone else, I have always surround myself with so many different people.

I blogged about it because a group of friends thought it would be cool to compile our "life soundtracks" for Christmas gifts to each other.

How about the soundtrack of my life...

So far away by Carole King,
Golden Slumbers and In my life by The Beatles
Dust in the wind by Kansas
The Weight by The Band
Turn the Page by Bob Seger
Old Man and Needle and the Damage Done by Neil Young
Muskrat Love by America
Rainy Days and Mondays by The Carpenters
Stay The Night by Chicago
Tight Rope by Leon Russell

That about sums it up.

The songs I like changes with moments. But these are the ones that will never change with time.

"Matchbox Twenty - Unwell" is a song that I (still) share with my ex.

"Bon Jovi - It's My Life" is my main theme song. That describes what I do with my life from end to end.

"Dexter Freebish - Leaving Town" is a song to remind me that even though I'm on a foreign land, I'll always have a home to return to even though I hate it so much.

alot of people seem to like "unwell" by matchbox 20... kudos. i think that if i had to choose a band to sing my life for me it would have to be them.

I'm feeling sorta blah today, so I'd say Kendal Payne's Scratch. I want to start over today.

"Everything Is Beautiful" by Starfield,I know we can not be happy every moment but optimistic toward our life is very important.

agreed

sexi plexi - jack johnson

No Right Angles - Ben Lee

What a great question Summer. Superfreak made me chuckle. At this particular point in time, though it'd probably change if you asked me tomorrow, which may betray a lack of thought about it, I'd have to say the Welcome Back, Kotter Theme song, or maybe Simon and Garfunkel's 59th St. Bridge Song.

99 problems and a bi$@h ain't one by Jay Z
because sometimes there are more important things in life.

I believe it can all be summed up by the great Peggy Lee in "Is That All There Is?"

A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails

Trying to remain serence when there's chaos all around me. A Warm Place brings me peace and helps to remember that everything will be all right. And no matter what today brings, tomorrow will bring brighter days, and if not, then rain showers, to go out and splash in. :D

"Creep" Radiohead.

Draw your own conclusions.

Rain King by Counting Crows.

"Waiting on the World to Change" by John Mayer

Gnorb: Fly Me to the Moon, is a great song. How about "Can't Take My Eyes off of You", by Frankie Valli?

I don't have one particular song, as it would depend on the stage of my life, or on a given year in my life.

Bridge Over Troubled Water, sung by Simon and Garfunkel, is significant for me.

When my daughter was born in the month of February, the song Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In was playing on the car radio, when I was on my way to the hospital. That song is very significant to me.

There are so many others that are applicable. I love music in general, all forms/genres, and can't choose one specific song.

Ben Folds Five, "Underground."
Verve, "This Time"

Right now: Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

In general: Mogwai - Glasgow Megasnake

I would just like to add that I took a poll in my household about what song might be my theme and the unanimous vote was for "I'm Bossy" (Kellis & Too Short).

Bossy, by the way is pronounced "Boss-ay"

Lily is BOSS-AY! She's the first one on the track..

I'm changing mine. I think, if I had to choose one song to sum up my life, I'd pick "No Day But Today" from the musical Rent.

"There's only us
There's only this
Forget regret
Or life is yours to miss
No other road
No other way
No day but today"

It's about focusing on what you can do to make things better for yourself and others, then doing it today.

B-52'S - Roam

Fly the great big sky see the great big sea
Kick through continents bustin bountaries
Take it hip to hip rock it through the wilderness
Around the world the trip begins with a kiss

Roam if you want to roam around the world
Roam if you want to without wings without wheels
Roam if you want to roam around the world
Roam if you want to without anything but the love we feel

Mine shifts around, but at least for June through September, it was "The Blankest Year" by Nada Surf.

Trying to come up with a new one for October through December...

I Looked All Over Town by The Magnetic Fields:

I wandered in these big blue shoes,
till we had nothing left to lose.
Nobody wants you when you're a circus clown.
I should know.
I looked all over town.

I guess folks just don't like my face.
They make out like I'm some disgrace.
But nothing's gonna change this painted frown.
And I know.
I looked all over town.

Maybe somewhere I could be free.
Somewhere they won't throw rocks at me.
Somewhere this crazy hair could be my crown.
But all my life,
I've looked all over town.

So whistling this circus tune,
I inflated one more balloon.
And as I floated up I looked straight down.
And I looked all over town.

One last time.
I looked all over town.

It's a toss up between "mo better blues" or " a love supreme".

My life's theme song is 'Tell Me Where It Hurts' by Garbage. The song strikes a chord in my heart. It speaks of a thing which I should always remind myself of,-the need to be open, selfless and sincere towards the ones I love in life. Happiness can surely be within our grasp with this form of empathy.However, one has to do it with might and main because the world is full of challenges and anomalies.Being conformed to superficial standards as well as self-centred can only maim relationships.

Aesthetically, the song is beautifully melancholic and almost....surreal. The music, which has a hypnotizing ostinato, complements the singer, Shirley Manson's alluring, mysterious and soulful vocal perfectly.

The lyrics and the URL are as follow:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnKt8i_ppRs

What is my day going to look like
What will tomorrow bring me
If I had x-ray eyes, I could see inside
I wouldn’t have to predict the future
I wish that you would do with some talking
Or else am I to know what you’re thinking
If only people would say what it really was
What it really was
What it really was that they wanted

Chorus:
Tell me where it hurts
to hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
They don't love me, I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell

Did they ever give you a reason
To believe in something different
If you’re looking for love, for what’s worth
I have plenty of it lying around here somewhere
If you are looking for disappointment
You can find it around any corner
In the middle of the night I hold on to you tight
So both of us can feel protected

Chorus:
Tell me where it hurts,
to hell with everybody else.
All I care about is you and that's the truth
they don't love me, yeah I can tell
but you do, so they can go to hell

I’ve been loved but I didn’t know how to feel it
And I’ve been adored but I don’t know if I ever believed it
I’ve been loved my whole life but I didn’t know how to take it
Until you…..

Chorus:
So tell me where it hurts
to hell with everybody else
All I care about is you and that's the truth
they don't love me, yeah I can tell
But you do, so they can go to hell

But you do, so they can go to hell

Tell me where it hurts x 2

Tell me where it hurts now

Tell me where it hurts (x 3 fade out)

Take A Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

Interesting topic.

I'll go with Curbside Prophet by Jason Mraz.

Hm... I think mine would be Shooting Star by Boyzone for Disney's Hercules. Because I can relate to so many lines in this song - and the melody is just so soothing (good for an easily-stressed person like myself).

The lyrics.

Either From The Inside Out by Hillsong, Take My Hand by Wrongfully Akuzed, Push by Matchbox 20, or How To Save A Life by The Fray

one of my all time favorite songs and that has spoken for every emotion i had felt at a certain point in my life was 'let down' by radiohead

it was this song that had opened my eyes to the great music of this band

Take a walk - Masta'ace
I against I - Jedi Mind Tricks
Beach Chair - Jay-Z

Semi-Charmed Kind Of Life
