Have you ever thought about the music in your life? We all have our favourite songs and albums but then there’s the music that we remember because of what it meant to us at certain times in our lives, the soundtrack to our lives.
I wrote a post a while ago about the soundtrack to my life but I thought afterward that it felt incomplete; it was a list of songs I remembered playing during my life but they weren’t all my favourite songs, the ones that really mean something to me.
So I thought I’d do a second list. These are the 10 songs I think best reflect my life, who I am up until now. It was harder to do than I thought but it was a lot of fun too. I wonder what your list would be? 😉
Fall At Your Feet
Crowded House
The finger of blame has turned upon itself
And I’m more than willing to offer myself
Do you want my presence or need my help?
The Scientist
Coldplay
Running in circles, coming up tails
Heads on the science apart
Big Yellow Taxi
Joni Mitchell
Don’t it always seem to go
That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Under Pressure
Queen & David Bowie
And love dares you to change our way
Of caring about ourselves
Forever Young
Alphaville
Praising our leaders, we’re getting in tune
The music’s played by the madmen
Hard Sun
Indio
Bound down and flew away the hours
Of her garden and her sun
{Explain}
Sarah Blasko
You say that our love can’t be a pattern in your palm
You say that our love, you say that our love, is only mapped
Landslide
Fleetwood Mac
If you see my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide will bring it down
Waiting On The World To Change
John Mayer
We just feel like we don’t have the means
To rise above and beat it
Where The Streets Have No Name
U2
I’ll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
