Real life has no theme song

[Jentleness]

When I think about some of the trials I had to deal with when raising my step children who had major drug issues, issues that inevitably affected my marriage and my home in negative ways, the song "Do Something" by the Eagles comes to mind. When I hear that song I always feel accomplished because I could have left, taken my daughter and wiped my hands of the situation, but I didn't and because I didn't I was able to help get them past that crap and into adulthood where they are doing fairly well on their own :hello:

It's a sad truth that no music plays in the background while events play out in the foreground of real life, but if there was, what song do you think should have been playing during the last major event in your life?

In My Head by Richy Nix is my theme song. trout happens, but I'll just hold my head up high and move on.

The sound of a black hole makes a B note of some kind. Since we're being sucked into one and/or might run into one in millions of years, think about that.

Sit Tight by Carina Round Is the song that expresses my life best I think, depressing as that is.

[G13]

You Are The One for when I feel like passing the time with a montage.

Fireflies (Light Messengers) after a breakup or when I'm just feelin' down.

This is for when I'm hitchhiking.

Back in college I think I would've said: Zero 7 - In the Waiting Line (also seen in Garden State: YouTube - ‪Garden State Movie - Drug Party Scene‬‏)

When I heard YUI's song "Again", I totally fell in love with it and the lyrics (can't find the original music video so here's a live one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IqVNfqNS8dQ ) Some lines of (translated) lyrics I like are:

I thought I was running after something carried over from my dreams,
Yet I'm stumbling into people on this narrow, winding road.

It's not like I want to go back to the way things were back then,
I'm just searching for the sky I've lost.

Sins don't end with tears,
You have to carry the pain forever.
who am I waiting for in this maze with no exit in sight?
a blank notebook.
make me want to release my feelings more and more
What do I want to escape from?
... is it reality?

makes me want to scream that we live on do u hear me? i cant play it safe no more ... I've got nowhere to go home to.
There's still so much in life to remove this feeling.
(I'm on the way)
I even welcome this pain
for the things I miss

I have to apologize for this. Ah, I'm sorry.
I can't say it well. I'm just causing worry.

Everything that I embraced that day. Everything that I will embrace tomorrow
I will not arrange them in any order.
I hope you understand. I closed my eyes
but I could still see things I do not want to see.

How do I open the next door? I'm thinking.
I can't take back this story that has begun.

No matter what I'm doing, be it something really impressive or even something as small as thinking about what to type into this post, I can rest assured that with the Jurassic Park main theme, all things appear great.

My thoughts exactly! Must be the theme song of my entire life, or the very least, the song playing quietly in the background at all times.

[NorthernChaosGod]

All day, er'ry day.

I'm sad in that I associate every major time in my life with a song, either because it played during or was stuck in my head at the time ... and then write it down in a list later for the purposes of nostalgia. :riiight:

smurfing love my list.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Post your list! I demand it.
