DunnoParticipantGreat songs but left scratching my head on Todd’s #2 and #3 choice’s about his life. Met and spent some time with the Ramones in 1979, still not sure what they were talkin about, sniffin glue or something like that.(not kidding)
A tune gets me thinkin about my life and takin some time to slow it down is LeAnne Womack’s-I Hope You Dance.
Love Steve Winwood, his first hit tune was Gimme Some Lovin, only 17yrs old with the Spencer Davis Group. Good topic Into the night, Benny Mardones.

MindDriveMemberThere are some great choices here (don’t know about “I Drink Alone”, but I don’t judge others. :-) I have a few good choices but I have to go with my favorite, “Mind Drive” by Yes.

ToddinWestwoodMemberDoh! I miss read and thought it was like a theme song as of right now, walking around kind of thing.
The Ramones are one of my all time favs, So is Man or Astroman. I mean, hey whats not to love about a surf band from outer space?

MindDriveMemberNot a mis-read, merely a different perspective. :-) I like the Beach Boys and Metallica for different moods.

JoBParticipanti like that many of my favorite songs have shown up on this list… different songs speak to us at different times of life..

bsmommaParticipantAnother fave and it was my theme song while I was pregnant and still sing parts of it to my daughter on long sleepless nights….. “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” Beastie Boys. Her name’s Brooklyn. :o) The last few months of my pregnancy, I BLASTED that song in my car as I went a little faster over all the train tracks. When I sing it to Brooklyn now, I change the words to No Sleep For Brooklyn!

villagegreenMember“Where is My Mind?” by The Pixies.
With your feet in the air and your head on the ground
Try this trick and spin it, yeah!
Your head will collapse if there’s nothing in it
And you’ll ask yourself
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Where is my mind?
Way out in the water
See it swimmin

JiggersMemberIf I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that Id like to do
Is to save every day
Till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
Id save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
Ive looked around enough to know
That youre the one I want to go
Through time with

DunnoParticipantJigger,
Great tune from Jim Croce. Life cut to short like many other great artists.
Being a outdoor person, always had spot for John Denver, yet the enjoy the hard rockers, punk bands, and many of the rappers.

LeroniusmonkfishMemberWarren Zevon – “Keep Me In Your Heart…”
Shadows are falling and I’m running out of breath
Keep me in your heart for awhile
If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less
Keep me in your heart for awhile
When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
Keep me in your heart for awhile
There’s a train leaving nightly called “when all is said and doneâ€
Keep me in your heart for awhile

WSMomParticipantI’ve been checking this topic since it started, trying to imagine my “theme” song, nothing was coming to mind until this morning. Looking out at the Olympic’s with the sun shining and the air cool and clean, my heart starting singing “O what a beautiful morning, oh what a beautiful day. I’ve got a wonderful feeling, everythings going my way.” It really annoys my kids when I sing it out loud on the way to school, “please don’t sing mom.” Probably doesn’t help that I don’t know the rest of the words to the song :)!

JoBParticipantour lives turn out to be inner musicals after all:)
September 25, 2009 at 7:37 pm #677865
ellenaterMemberGod so many! I think my absolute favorite is: “Lovely Day” by Bill Withers. It’s a very beautiful love/funk song with a nice bit of melancholy that accurately reflects my all of it. :)
GREAT to rollerskate to, also. Any song you can rollerskate to has my vote.
Also, “Sir Duke” by Stevie Wonder and Pixies “Vamos” or, “Where is my Mind?”. Also Nirvana’s “Sliver”.

angelescrestParticipantWSMom,
Ray Charles does a version of that song that brings tears. I get the same reaction from my kids.
September 26, 2009 at 4:07 am #677867
DunnoParticipantNot only are some of these songs about your lives but some have been life changers.
Great story WS mom. Seeing Sir Duke reminded me of a great album, Songs in the Key of Life-Stevie Wonder.
BTW,
Marty Reamer, time to play Take this Job and Shove it, Johnny Paycheck for the clowns at Entercom. You are a great air talent and I’m pretty sure a fellow KGRG grad!

pampireMemberThanks for posting this! It’s been food for thought. I’ve settled on “Three Wooden Crosses” by Randy Travis for the chorus that says “It’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you, it’s what you leave behind you when you go.”

dufusMemberThis is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends
Some people started singing it
Not knowing what it was
And they’ll continue singing it
Forever just because
This is the song that never ends

Forever just because
This is the song that never ends…
I think you get it, right?

CountingCoupMember“From the Morning” ~ Nick Drake
A day once dawned, and it was beautiful
A day once dawned from the ground
Then the night she fell
And the air was beautiful
The night she fell all around.
So look see the days
The endless coloured ways
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.
And now we rise
And we are everywhere
And now we rise from the ground
And see she flies
And she is everywhere
See she flies all around
So look see the sights
The endless summer nights
And go play the game that you learnt
From the morning.

HMC RichParticipantIn my Heavy Metal Daze it was Anvil’s “Free As The Wind”.
Although before and after it was Rush’s “You Don’t Get Something For Nothing”.
I don’t know about you but I have theme songs for many of the big moments in my life. Especially the times I was dumped by the fairer sex.
October 2, 2009 at 4:13 pm #677872
JoBParticipantThere is nothing fair about either sex when they are dumping you
but a good theme song does help:)
for days when i just can’t seem to get going
it’s 40 below and i dont give a …
got a heater in my truck and i’m off to the rodeo
always makes me smile
October 2, 2009 at 5:07 pm #677873
miwsParticipantAh yes JoB! the Rodeo Song!
I’d actually thought about posting that title here, soon after this thread was started!;-)

In2theknightMemberA close 2nd place life theme song for me is “Everything Is Borrowed” from The Streets.
I came to this world with nothing,
and I’ll leave with nothing but love.
Everything else is just borrowed.
October 2, 2009 at 10:23 pm #677875
furryfacesParticipant‘It’s Hip To Be Snipped’ by unknown F3 artist.
October 3, 2009 at 2:50 am #677876
chefMember“I Can Feel It Comin’ In The Air Tonight”… Phil Collins. It fits the existentialist side of me.

carterParticipantGreat post! Being one that avoids dwelling in the past and tries not to be stuck there, my life theme song is constantly changing and moving forward. I’m always looking for a new one. Being on the verge of becoming a West Seattle Crusty, it’s easy to be stuck in the past.
My current life theme song is (past ones below it in descending order):
Kids – MGMT
The Fixer – Pearl Jam “yeah, yeah, yeah,yeah”
I’m Not Alone – Calvin Harris
When Love Takes Over – David Guetta (feat Kelly Rowland)
The Reeling – Passion Pit
Shut Up and Let Me Go – Ting Tings
The Fear – Lily Allen
Human – The Killers (Arman Van Buuren)
And there’s 53 more years off songs below . . . .
