Personal theme song?

Post Reply New Topic

I'd have to say mine would either be Ziggy Marley's "True to Myself"

or Disturbed's "I'm alive" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBi7DIAdY-Y

IDK Maybe Radiohead's "Creep?"

"When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye...
...
But I'm a creep. I'm a weirdo. What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here..."

samuel barber's "adagio for strings"

Though I am shore many would say the same

"You Set Me Free" - Michelle Branch, because it puts into words how I feel about my imaginary friends. Yes, I still have imaginary friends at my age - and they are very near and dear to my heart.

I don't have a particular theme song, but my favorite CD of those I own is the music from Henry V. I also like the message in Die Gedanken Sind Frei (My Thoughts Are Free), a German song that was sung by people who fought against the NAZIS, including prisoners. Prisoners who sung it were punished. Unfortunately, I don't remember the whole song, which was used in an old true story movie about an amazing escape from Colditz Castle during the war. I think part of the song goes--"You can hold my body and keep me in chains, but in my mind there is always freedom." There is more to it, but that's all I can remember. The song has both a German language version and an English language version.

There were a number of stars in the movie, but the only one I can remember at the moment is Chuck Connors.

My own CD music collection is somewhat limited, but I do have a "Reader's Digest" collection of show tunes, also a polka CD, some Christmas CDs, a Celtic CD, one or two classic music CDs, a Greatest Marches CD, and a few others. I also have some old cassettes of different kinds of music, including some Christmas tunes, classic music, marches music, Peter, Paul, & Mary, and some other assorted tunes. I also have some TV show theme tunes on cassette that I recorded myself, and a PBS John Denver show that I recorded a long time ago. Unfortunately, there was a vent near the recorder when I recorded that, and the air was blowing through. You can hear the white sound of the air blowing along with John Denver's singing.

I also have some cassette collections of old tyme radio shows. Some are mysteries, some are comedies, there are some adventure stories, and I have a big collection of radio episodes of Gun Smoke. That started before the TV version, and the radio Matt Dillon was played by William Conrad. I sometimes take audio books, and old radio shows on cassettes or DVDs out of the local libraries, too.

I'll need to think of one. You probably know by who, though.

I just decided mine is Nothing Lasts Forever. If you go by the title it might be misleading, it sounds to me like the title of an out-and-out happy song a la 'It's My Life' by Bon Jovi.

I relate to the restlessness of it, and I think it's perfect, without being a cheer-the-fuck-up song.

'Melting Pot' by Blue Mink

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy

Curly Latin kinkies
Mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get-along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take the world and all its got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn't matter what religion you choose

Mick and Lady Faithful
Lord and Mrs. Graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin' machine
I better call up the queen
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take the world and all its got
And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Especially because I am a coffee-coloured person who's 'a pinch of white man, wrapped in black skin, mixed with yellow Chinese'.

And yes I also like 'Half-breed' by Cher.

This one is mine!

No one song defines me as a whole.

^ Same, I can't really say I have a theme-song per se... But the one I chose said something I wanted to say at a certain time in my life (and my getting into the Bunnymen at the time concided with them announcing a gig to Israel a few weeks later...)
