Soundtrack

I think we all have songs that take us back to times in our lives...

Soundtrack

My life has a soundtrack
Songs that bring memories
They take me back
To moments and reveries
The Wood Song
Has kept me strong
Through all the years
And so many tears

When it's Love
The passion of my youth
The first time I gave my heart
I'll never forget his part
In the movie of my life

What I'd say
I still remember that day
My first heartbreak
The strength I couldn't fake
Still brings me to tears
After all these years
The pain brought me to my knees
Praying for a day, please
He would stay out of my head
I didn't yell, go to hell
It was "oh my God!" instead

Constantinople
The might be Giants
We weren't noble
But young and defiant
Universe Man and Particle Man
Didn't follow the plan
Didn't do the things that they can

Bohemian rhapsody
Queen
Prime Cut parody
Closing down the line
Get it clean
We are doing just fine
Singing, dancing, and air guitars
Trying not to disturb the customers

Houston's
I will always love you
Carried me over the mountains
To new springs and fountains
To a new city I flew
Leaving my sister
Oh how I would miss her
She and I always knew

Kenny G
Forever in Love
The wedding Song
Played as I said the vow
To love, honor and cherish
I see it now
Wishing we'd never perish

The Dance
My father giving away his daughter
A moment in time, hankie for blotter
Waltzing around the dance floor
Tears in our eyes, me a child no more

In your eyes
One of the most romantic
Moments of our lives
Dancing toward the Atlantic
And into our honeymoon
So Very soon

My life has a soundtrack
Songs that bring memories
They take me back
To moments and reveries
The Wood Song
Has kept me strong
Through all the years
And all my tears

You're Still the one
We've made it so far
You've been my North Star
Through illness and health
Poverty and wealth
A lifetime of love lived
In twenty short years
All the laughter, all the fears
So happy you're still here
Friends to the end

Lose yourself
Grief and loss
D-day
Gave way
To Connections
And Expressions
On my own, success really was
The only mother f*****g option, ma'am
And yes! I really am!

Counting stars
All the way
The flaming connection
It broke astray
Everything I'd vowed
I couldn't ignore it
The very wrong
Felt so right, it turned
My life upside down
I've learned
I'm still hooked
Though I'm burned

Over the rainbow...
The clear blue skies
With tears in our eyes
We said our goodbyes
She lived the Sweet Life
In the seed house
Of her family
We tell her story
Her beautiful glory
She leaves a legend
A beginning, not an end
Her spirit soars again
As her ashes
Scatter to the wind

Wake me up
A brief reprieve
I wanted to believe
Was more than it was
A lesson though, gave pause

All of me
Looking to find
A new place to be
Exactly all of who I am
Do you mind?
Not sure of my direction
My internal connection
Holding tight
To the center of myself
I won't fight
Listening to the knowing part
Showing all my heart

My life has a soundtrack
Songs that bring memories
They take me back
To moments and reveries
The Wood Song
Still keeps me strong
After all these years
And all my tears
The Wood never tires
Though the storms of what has been
Have left me weary again
Yet the song plays on
My soundtrack is not over
I'm writing new memories
And reveries
That will someday bring me
To the soundtrack of today
Now, What song shall I play?

That was a cool song AJ! I had never heard that before. But I love how the video was written on the napkins. So who / what time in your life does that remind you of?
