[Shai Gar]

Name three that are the quintessential soundtracks of your life.

One off the top of my head is 'Do It Anyway' by Martina McBride.

You CAN spend your whole life buildin'
Something from nothin
One storm can come and blow it all away
Build it anyway

You CAN chase a dream
That seems so out of reach
And you know it might not ever come your way
Dream it anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
I do it anyway

This worlds gone crazy
And it's hard to believe
That tomorrow will be better than today
Believe it anyway

You can love someone with all YOUR heart
For all the right reasons
And in a moment they can choose to walk away
love em anyway

God is great but sometimes life aint good
And when I pray
It doesn't always turn out like I think it should
But I do it anyway
Yeah I do it anyway, YEAH,

You can pour your soul out singin'
A song you believe in
That tomorrow they'll forget you ever sang
Sing it anyway
Yeah sing it anyway, YEAH, YEAH

I sing
I dream
I love anyway, yeah.

I Choose - India.Arie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eyVBxuB58U
(This song isn't really 7 minutes long. I don't know why most of the recordings of this song available online have 3 to 10 minutes of dead air at the end)

"Your love is better than life", Newsboys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBeFHo-6MaU&amp;feature=related. Sorry about the bad quality!

 

[Shai Gar]

I think you guys misunderstood me. Not songs that you love a whole lot, Songs that capture the very essence of your lives. From your Birth to Now. The songs which are your personality and growth.

 

[Kwistalline]

No, we knew what we were doing! It was just more interesting to change the theme of the thread . . . or perhaps it just gains more interest that way. My life is not so changable as to necessitate a new theme song

 

[Lurker]

Two songs that represent my life;
Modest Mouse - Float On
R.E.M. - Walk Unafraid

And when I feel like I want to jump out of my skin cause I'm so restless;
Modest Mouse - The World At Large

 

[Motor Jax]

Darth Vader Emperial Theme Song - <<like seriously

but for a life theme song? Bayou Teche?

 

[Silently Honest]

I think you guys misunderstood me. Not songs that you love a whole lot, Songs that capture the very essence of your lives. From your Birth to Now. The songs which are your personality and growth.

Geto Boys - My minds playing tricks on me

Switchfoot - This is your life

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar tissue


There, fixed.
