What is your...

[Calvin]

...Theme Song that best describes your life?

I decided to do this thread cause it seems like I am always hearing songs that describe how my life has gone and what my values are. That and cause the PG needs another long thread (or a dead one).
So here’s the plan… you get to pick two songs… yeah I know that’s tough but if I can do it so can you.
What songs describe your path in life or are your mantra, or how it has gone, you know, that sort of stuff. Not a song that just talks about how you feel at the moment.
Please try to post the words and for those that can, post a link so we can all listen to it.

So here's my two.....

Against The Wind ~ Bob Seger

It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights
There in the darkness with the radio playing low
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
Till there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove

And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh so tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin'
against the wind

And the years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded bv strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home
And I guess I lost my way
There were oh so many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searchin'
Searching for shelter again and again
Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifters days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin’ against the wind
Well I’m older now and still runnin’
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind
Still runnin’
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’
Against the wind
I’m still runnin’ against the wind
Against the wind
Still runnin’
Against the wind
Running against the wind
Running against the wind
Against the wind
See the young man run
Against the wind
Watch a young man run
Against the wind
Watch a young man running
Against the wind
He’ll be running against the wind
Against the wind
Let the Cowboys ride
Against the wind
Against the wind
Let the Cowboys ride
Against the wind
They’ll be riding against the wind
Against the wind

Pacing The Cage ~ Bruce Cockburn

Sunset is an angel weeping
Holding out a bloody sword
No matter how I squint I cannot
Make out what it's pointing toward
Sometimes you feel like you live too long
Days drip slowly on the page
You catch yourself
Pacing the cage

I've proven who I am so many times
The magnetic strip's worn thin
And each time I was someone else
And every one was taken in
Hours chatter in high places
Stir up eddies in the dust of rage
Set me to pacing the cage

I never knew what you all wanted
So I gave you everything
All that I could pillage
All the spells that I could sing
It's as if the thing were written
In the constitution of the age
Sooner or later you'll wind up
Pacing the cage

Sometimes the best map will not guide you
You can't see what's round the bend
Sometimes the road leads through dark places
Sometimes the darkness is your friend
Today these eyes scan bleached-out land
For the coming of the outbound stage.
Pacing the cage.
Pacing the cage.

Love Me Like A Man - Bonnie Raitt

Only one theme song right now:

Farewell Andromeda ~ John Denver

Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
See what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing

Welcome to my happiness
You know it makes me smile
And it pleases me to have you here
For just a little while
While we open up the spaces
Try to break some chains
And if the truth is told
They will never come again

Welcome to my evening
The closing of the day
I could try a million times
Never find a better way
To tell you that I love you
And all the songs I play
Are to thank you for allowing me
Inside this lovely day

Welcome to my morning
Welcome to my day
Yes, I'm the one responsible
I made it just this way
To make myself some pictures
And see what they might bring
I think I made it perfectly
I wouldn't change a thing

She's A Woman..Billy Joel

She can kill with a smile
She can wound with her eyes
She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child,
But she's always a woman to me

She can lead you to love
She can take you or leave you
She can ask for the truth
But she'll never believe
And she'll take what you give her, as long as it's free
Yeah, she steals like a thief
But she's always a woman to me

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

And she'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then she'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But she'll bring out the best
And the worst you can be
Blame it all on yourself
Cause she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Bridge

CHORUS:
Oh--she takes care of herself
She can wait if she wants
She's ahead of her time
Oh--and she never gives out
And she never gives in
She just changes her mind

She is frequently kind
And she's suddenly cruel
She can do as she pleases
She's nobody's fool
And she can't be convicted
She's earned her degree
And the most she will do
Is throw shadows at you
But she's always a woman to me
--Mhmm--

Well, these were always dedicated to me at the bar...

Superfreak
by Rick James

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl
She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please
{Refrain}
That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak
The kind of girl you read about
In new-wave magazine
That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak
I really love to taste her
Every time we meet
She's all right, she's all right
That girl's all right with me, yeah
She's a super freak, super freak
She's super-freaky, yow
Super freak, super freak
She's a very special girl
The kind of girl you want to know
From her head down to her toenails
Down to her feet, yeah
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine
Going back in Chinatown
Three's not a crowd to her, she says
"Room 714, I'll be waiting"
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene
{Refrain}
{Bridge}
Temptations sing!
Ohhhhh
Super freak, super freak
That girl's a super freak
Ohhhhh
She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl
Blow, Danny!




Hurts so Good
by John Mellencamp

When I was a young boy,
Said put away those young boy ways
Now that I'm gettin' older, so much older
I love all those young boy days.
With a girl like you,
With a girl like you,
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby,
Just me and you.
Come on and make it

CHORUS:
Hurt so good.
Come on baby, make it hurt so good.
Sometimes love don't feel like it should.
You make it hurt so good.

Don't have to be so exiting.
Just tryin' to give myself a little bit of fun, yeah.
You always look so invitin'
You ain't as green as you are young
Hey baby, its you.
Come on, girl, now, its you.
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby.
Let's see what we can do.
Come on and make it

Chorus

I ain't talkin' no big deals
I ain't made no plans myself.
I ain't talkin' no high heels
Maybe we could walk around all day long,
walk around all day long.

Chorus twice

Hey, hey

I Will Survive
Gloria Gaynor

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin I could never live without you by my side
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

And so you're back, from outer space
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
I should've changed that stupid lock, I should've made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.

Go on now go, walk out the door,
Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with good-bye,
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die.

Oh, no not I, I will survive,
Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
And I, l will survive, I will survive....Hey, hey

Instrumental Break

It took all the strength I had, not to fall apart,
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.

And you see me, somebody new,
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in, and just expect me to be free,
But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me.

Go on now go, walk out the door.
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore.
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with good-bye,
You think I'd crumble, you think I'd lay down and die,

Oh no not I, I will survive
Oh as long as I now how to love, I know I'll stay alive,
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
I will survive, I will survive...Oh (Pause & Repeat)​

"I Want To Be The One"

I see those other guys
I hear 'em tell you lies
That same old song they sing
They only want one thing
I know you're searching for
Something that's so much more
I wanna give it to ya

I wanna be the one
The one who makes you feel something real
The one and only one
The one who gets down deep - plays for keeps
I wanna be the one
The one who talks it through - listens to you
Please let me be the one
The one who truly knows you - just let me show you

I wanna make you see
The possibilty
Of all that we can be
For all eternity
And when you fall in love
Yeah, really fall in love
I wanna be the one

Girl you don't know me well
But someday time will tell
These dreams I promise you
You'll see them all come true
I'm talking band of gold
I'm talking soul to soul
And I ain't just talking baby... ooh

I wanna be the one
The one who makes you feel something real
The one and only one
The one who gets down deep - plays for keeps
I wanna be the one
The one who talks it through - listens to you
Please let me be the one
The one who truly knows you - just let me show you

And when you fall in love
Yeah, really fall in love
I wanna be the one
I wanna be the one - ooh let me be the one

Foreigner: That Was Yesterday

I thought I knew you well
But all this time I could never tell
I let you get away
Haunts me every night and every day

You were the only one
The only friend that I counted on
How could I watch you walk away
Id give anything to have you here today

But now I stand alone with my pride
And dream that youre still by my side

But that was yesterday
I had the world in my hands
But its not the end of my world
Just a slight change of plans

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
No more hiding in yesterday
cause yesterdays gone

Love, my love I gave it all
Thought I saw the light
When I heard you call
Life that we both could share
Has deserted me
Left me in despair

But now I stand alone with my pride
Fighting back the tears I never let myself cry

But that was yesterday
Love was torn from my hands
But its not the end of my world
Just a little hard to understand

That was yesterday
But today life goes on
You wont find me in yesterdays world
Now yesterdays gone

Goodbye yesterday
Now its over and done
Still I hope somewhere deep in your heart
Yesterday will live on

Nobody Knows
Billy Squire

I may get around...I may laugh alot...
Now you'd think that I'd be happy with the life I got
Nobody knows...nobody sees
Ain't nobody really knows the inner side o'me...


I may seem secure...I could have it made...
You might think you see a lucky man who made the grade
Nobody knows what dreams I see
Ain't nobody really sure just who they wanna be...


But everybody has a place and time...
A chance to live...a need to find
We all got somethin' that we care about
I propose you find it out...


It's not in a book...or a magazine...
Or the stars who guide our fortunes on the silver screen
Nobody knows...it's up to me
Ain't nobody who can say it like it outght to be...


I see my future at the rainbow's end
Happy hours...timeless friends
And if I ever chance to find my way
Rest assured...I will stay...


You may see your life as a compromise
You may live to find the promise dancin' in your eyes
Nobody knows...it's meant to be...
Let the magic of the moment say it all to me​

[RedHairedandFriendly]

Only parts of this song work for me, but there are times when these lines in bold scream out to me. . .

HINDER LYRICS

"Better Than Me"

I think you can do much better than me
After all the lies that I made you believe
Guilt kicks in and I start to see
The edge of the bed
Where your nightgown used to be
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
While looking through your old box of notes
I found those pictures I took
That you were looking for
If there's one memory I don't want to lose
That time at the mall
You and me in the dressing room
I told myself I won't miss you
But I remember
What it feels like beside you
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
The bed I'm lying in is getting colder
Wish I never would've said it's over
And I can't pretend... I won't think about you when I'm older
Cause we never really had our closure
This can't be the end
I really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than meI really miss your hair in my face
And the way your innocence tastes
And I think you should know this
You deserve much better than me
(And I think you should know this)
(You deserve much better than me)

"Because I got high" - Afroman

Love that song. lol

 

[MsTexas]

While there is time
Lets go out and feel everything
If you hold me
I will let you into my dream
For time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And well drink our cup of laughter

The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be

Oh, Ive been sad
And have walked bitter streets alone
And come morning
Theres a good wind to blow me home
So time is a river rolling into nowhere
I will live while I can
I will have my ever after

The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be

We go so fast, why dont we make it last
Life is glowing inside you and me
Please take my hand, here where I stand
Wont you come out and dance with me
Come see, with me, come see

And lovers try
til they get the best of the night
And come morning
They are tangled up in the light
So time be a river rolling into nowhere
They love while they can
And they think about the night so sweet

The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be

~Steve Winwood, The Finer Things~
