Your Themesong(s)

[Sageacity]

Nef Ex here, with an idea of sorts and the hope that her fellow forum dwellers will humor her.

This kind of branches off of music taste but with a question. If you had to pick your own theme-song (or songs), what would it be? It can even be a playlist if you had the good fortune of finding all sorts of songs that get you on some level, personality wise, standpoint, w/e. This is also subject to change over time, so feel free to post more than once.

Since I started this thread, I'll go first!

It's Still Rock and Roll to Me - Billy Joel

Just a Girl - No Doubt

The Pretender - Foo Fighters (or Infected Mushroom alt. :eyebrows:)

Go It Alone - Beck

My Name Is Jonas - Weezer

Handlebars - The Flobots

[Chanel_no5]

I guess right now it would be a mixture of these...

The Show Must Go On - Queen

Me And I - ABBA

Surprise, Surprise - Celine Dion

Stubborn - Bonnie Tyler

You Learn To Live Without - Idina Menzel

Oh I forgot: You Haven't Seen The Last of Me - Cher

[Timber and Coal]

oooh, I'm always thinking about this kind of thing. I wont bore you with the specifics, but if I had to pick a song which might be a theme-song for my life, or certainly a song to capture my general being as of right now, I would have to go with Jake Bugg - Simple as this It's quite a nice song about finding your own way through life. Whilst i've never looked to religion, i've often wished I could have such belief in a system which is greater than what I feel life actually is. I think in the song, he refers to love as being the ultimate purpose to guiding you through life, which is a nice thought. Though for me personally, the conclusion I reached is to just make other people happy / be a nice person

[Nola]

I love this stuff!!

Hmm, there are probably dozens, but I'll try to compile a short-ish list.

Tell Me No - Whitney Houston (I love the fierceness and the stubbornness of this song)!

A Matter Of Trust - Billy Joel (This song does a better job than I can explaining how naive and yet wary I am of people).

Respect - Aretha Franklin (This should be everyone's theme song, in my opinion).

State Of Grace - Billy Joel (This song encapsulates that spacey, into-her-own-world thing that I'm very happy in).

Walmart Parking Lot - Chris Cagle (Makes me think of my roots).

Flashlight - Chris Young (Again, roots).

Proud Mary - Tina Turner, CCR, Michael Grimm, (hell, anyone's version will do, there's so much soul in this tune and I love it).

Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks (Another song that really reminds me of home, who I am and what I'll always need).

Well, that's probably enough for now!

[riyona_ebooks]

This might suprise people,but my theme song ISN'T from a Mario game! (At least not my first pick...)

But actually it's CANDY CANDY by Kyary Pamyu.

And then there's the Rainbow Road medley from the new Smash Bros.

[TaurielRiver]

Actually, there is (sort of!) one song which I could think of as a theme song. But this is 100% based on the context in which I used to listen to it, not the lyrics, and definitely not the videoclip (which... I won't say I don't kind of love regardless. )

So, when I was student, I had a lot of different customer service jobs, and at one store, we were allowed to play our own music. Which may sound like not a big deal, but compared to some larger chains I worked at where the playlists were sent through by Head Office and put on repeat for months... it was the best thing ever! When I started getting rostered to open (which was a one-person shift until about midday when things got busy), I was so excited, because I hadn't had that kind of responsibility before. And (getting to the theme song part!), I had been recently introduced to Japanese pop music.

So I had a whole bunch of Ayumi Hamasaki's albums on hand, and in particular, there was one song called '(don't) leave me alone', which I thought was a great accompaniment to opening the store. It was (IS!!) super fun, and I used to have it on repeat while madly setting everything up and being all "yes, yes, I can do this, look at me getting everything ready by myself!"

I think the vibe still applies. Sometimes!

[Icarus Rex]

I can think of a lot of songs that I feel with all my feelers, but if I had to pick just one, for any occasion, it'd probably be March into the Sea by Modest Mouse, for it's content, clashes in speed/mood, and for being alternately grim and humorous/irreverent.

AND because I bought that album the same year I moved away from my hometown, I tend to associate it with important, transitionary phases. Kind of evokes a frantic, bitter, yet triumphant feeling that is pretty in-character for me, as a kinda-sorta-sometimes-recovering malcontent.

[Sharpie]

I have roughly a million so I've only selected my favorites, heh:

The Suburbs - Arcade Fire

Here comes the Sun - The Beatles

Hello Goodbye - The Beatles

Electric Love - Borns

Cowboy Take Me Away - Dixie Chicks

45 - Shinedown (no I'm not suicidal to me it's a proverbial gun)

Storming Heaven - (no clue who it's by XD sawy...)

Red - Cheville

What Have You done - Within Temptation

Nemo - Nightwish

[Sageacity]

While this isn't an all encompassing representation of "me," I have periods of depression for a short or long duration.

If I had a choice to warn people that my mind has taken a turn, but didn't have the energy to string word correctly (or audibly),

I would use a code word. That code word? "Cherry Tree".... for this reason:

Cherry Tree- The National

[SleepingPhlox]

At this time in my life it would have to be "Walking On Sunshine" because I am at a point where everything is just right and I am very grateful most of the time, and when I am feeling happy that song pops into my head.

[TheBowler]

The one that hits home the most is this song called "Free" by This Love.

[Snufaleeze]

Oh yeah, music is my jam! I've got a lot of picks, but I've got to narrow it down.

"It's Raining Tacos" ParryGripp

"Don't You Worry Child" Swedish House Mafia

"Gravity Falls" Theme Song

"The Hamsterdance Song" Hampton the Hamster
