After quite a bit of thought and debate within my own mind, I have come up with a list of songs that I would call “The Soundtrack of My Life.” The hardest part of this wasn’t finding songs, but rather finding songs that represented periods of my life while still keeping the total number to 20 or fewer. Talk about a challenge!
After you read through my list, go ahead and share your own list in the comments. I’m excited to get to know you better through music!
This list is in actually in a particular order, whether you can believe that or not. It will probably seem extremely random to most, while it will seem to be completely appropriate to the rest of you.
1. “Girls, Girls, Girls” by Motley Crue
2. “Thriller” by Micheal Jackson
3. “Tom’s Diner” by Suzanne Vega
4. “Kiss from a Rose” by Seal
5. “I Want You” by Savage Garden
6. “Tonight. Tonight” by Smashing Pumpkins
7. “Blind” by Korn
8. “Saturday in the Park” by Chicago
9. “Bittersweet” by Big Head Todd and the Monsters
10. “Complicated” by Avril Lavigne
11. “Everlong” by Foo Fighters
12. “Come Thou Fount of Ev’ry Blessing” by Freddie Ashby
13. “Dance You Down” by Gus Gus
14. “Jupiter” by Gustav Holst
15. “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” by The Postal Service
16. “Sitting, Waiting, Wishing” by Jack Johnson
17. ”So She Dances” by Josh Groban
18. “My Stupid Mouth” by John Mayer
19. “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis
20. “Gonna Fly Now (Theme from “Rocky”)” by Bill Conti
So now that you’ve made it through the list, feel free to hop on over to my music blog to hear each song and to see an explanation of why they made the list. Right now, I don’t have any of these on the Musicality site, but they will be added over the next few days. I need to find the CDs for a few of them, but I should have plenty of time to get this finished before the weekend is over.

Nooooooooooooo!!!!! You totally tricked me. You lulled me into a false sense of security. I curiously go out to your musicallity site to read up on why these songs are memorable to you, and I fall right into your trap! After at least a couple of years respite from thaat horrible tune, once again I will be falling asleep to “Do do doo do doo do doo do…I was sitting in the window and I told her that I saw her…blah blah blah”
Thanks a lot. This will take months. Seriously. I need counseling.

Ok…You have to explain this list to me. Some of these songs would go into my chick lite column. Hmmmm?

The list is just songs that represent different points of my life
. They aren’t necessarily FAVORITES, but they are lasting memories.
Chick-lite or not, though, “I Want You” still rocks!
Oh, and if you want explanations for each song, you’ll just have to keep your eyes on my Musicality blog.
