Your theme song?

White_Dragon

Just thinking the other day about a song or a piece of music that you really relate to or seems capture you as a person?

Mine is Disney's Hercules the main song called I will go the distance, I like the tune and its my favourite Disney film, but its the lyrics....first verse copied below (hopefully I will not invoke the wrath of the forum gods)....

"I have often dreamed
Of a far of place
Where a great, warm, welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keeps saying
This is where I'm meant to be
I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know every mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere
To feel like I belong......"
 
Would be very interested to hear your thoughts around this subject

  • Lose Yourself by Eminem was a form of Fight Song, for me.

    Also Turn the Page by The Streets.

  • 'Comfortably Numb' by Pink Floyd.

  • A bunch of different songs pop up in my head when thinking about this and my life has only just begun, but I think that “Isabel” by Isabel Pless (even though my name‘s not Isabel) would be it. Here‘s the beginning:

    I've been tryin' to find time to find myself again
    I've been playin' with the tendons in my hands
    I've been tryin' to learn how to be my own person
    Instead of trying to be interesting
    F*** never being quite enough
    F*** being a second-favorite
    It was never up to me anyway
    This isn't about love
    But that doesn't make it painless
    Guess I'll be the one who has to say:

    "You don't have to be good all the time
    You don't have to have the answer
    You don't have to be right
    You don't have to be the strong one
    You don't have to be liked
    You're allowed to bleed outside the lines
    Isabel, you're allowed to change your mind"

  • I often listen to Joni Mitchell, she was 20 when she wrote this and then released it in 1966, before I was even born. The words are quite poignant.

    Both Sides Now.

    Oh, but now old friends, they're acting strange
    And they shake their heads and they tell me that I've changed
    Well, something's lost, but something's gained
    In living every day
    I've looked at life from both sides now
    From win and lose and still somehow
    It's life's illusions I recall
    I really don't know life at all
    It's life's illusions that I recall
    I really don't know life
    I really don't know life at all

  • What a nice song to relate to. I love Hercules, and I love that song. Disney make some of the best movie music.

    My song/theme that I relate to most is Innocence by Avril Lavigne.

    "Waking up I see that everything is OK
    The first time in my life and now it's so great
    Slowing down I look around and I am so amazed
    I think about the little things that make life great

    I wouldn't change a thing about it
    This is the best feeling

    This innocence is brilliant
    I hope that it will stay
    This moment is perfect
    Please don't go away
    I need you now
    And I'll hold on to it
    Don't you let it pass you by

    I found a place so safe, not a single tear
    The first time in my life and now it's so clear
    Feel calm, I belong, I'm so happy here
    It's so strong and now I let myself be sincere

    I wouldn't change a thing about it
    This is the best feeling

    This innocence is brilliant
    I hope that it will stay
    This moment is perfect
    Please don't go away
    I need you now
    And I'll hold on to it
    Don't you let it pass you by

    It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
    It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
    It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

    It's a state of bliss, you think you're dreaming
    It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
    It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

    It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry

    This innocence is brilliant
    It makes you wanna cry
    This innocence is brilliance
    Please don't go away
    'Cause I need you now
    And I'll hold on to it
    Don't you let it pass you by

    (It's so beautiful it makes you wanna cry)

    This innocence is brilliant
    (It's so beautiful)
    (It's so beautiful)
    I hope that it will stay
    This moment is perfect
    Please don't go away
    I need you now
    (It makes me wanna cry)
    And I'll hold on to it
    Don't you let it pass you by..."
