In the never ending series of threads devoted to 'discovering our true selves'

 

In pursuit of the necessary self awareness needed to find someone we can love and vice versa...

 

What are the songs you feel best describe you? Your personality? What motivates you? Marks a turning point in your life?

 

Today it is

 

a) 'Drive'... Incubus

b) 'No Such Thing'...Chris Cornell

c) 'Watershed'... Indigo Girls

d) 'One'... U2

At any given time I could play these songs and not get tired of them. So I guess they're the best candidates for songs that I identify with.

 

1. "Bad Company" - Bad Company

2. "Some Guys Have all the Luck" - Rod Stewart

3. "I Got a Name" - Jim Croce

4. "The Lemon Tree" - Peter, Paul, and Mary

5. "Stairway to Heaven" - Led Zeppelin

Made a playlist. I'd say most of the songs reflect how I've been feeling throughout 2011, but some of the songs also reflect parts of my personality. Enjoy.

 

Just press play in the lower left corner to start listening the songs:

d) 'One'... U2

 

That's one of my favorite songs of all time, but I don't think it describes a person. :confused:

 

The song that fits me best doesn't even have lyrics - Life in Technicolor, Coldplay:

(The video isn't important. Sit with your eyes closed and listen.)

 

That song is me. Right there. It starts off light, contemplative, and builds and builds, becoming more and more complex, but still energetic, almost aggressive, excited, and cheerful, and then just...succeeds. LOVE it.

 

I'm also a huge fan of country music, and I don't care who mocks me. It fits.

 

"Who I Am" by Jessica Andrews, it's as though she's singing for me:

 

When I'm feeling a little down and need to kick my own butt, "Stand" by Rascal Flatts always does the trick:

I love Life in technicolor and Life in technicolor ii, both are very well done. Stand, very nice choice.

Being a singer and formerly in a band, I'm pretty obsessed with music. My likes are pretty eclectic but on the ipod in heavy rotation lately:

 

You - Atmosphere

32 Flavors - Alana Davis

The Scientist - Coldplay

Fader - Temper Trap

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart - Alicia Keys

Ready For Love - India.Arie

Crank - Catherine Wheel

Alison Krauss - Down To The River To Pray

 

Music is so telling about a person. I'm big into lyrics. If I am not impressed by them in some way I don't get hooked into a song for the most part.

There is something about this song that I relate to.....perhaps not the exact lyrics...just the tone (me when I am in love) - melancholic yet hopeful.

 

Sway by Bic Runga

Added the song from Coldplay you posted to my music collection, hadn't heard it before. Those happy tunes will now forever be associated with that cute girl in the blue jacket with the big blue eyes called Star Gazer.

Oh some Snow Patrol. I never got around to listening a lot of their music, except for a few songs, however, I am going to listen to these and see how they are. Hehe.

"Stupid Girl" by Garbage, probably, but I don't want to find myself lying on my deathbed one day thinking it was all defined by a pop tune. I'm hoping the music running through my head at that point will be somethig like the Third movement of Beethoven's Sonata in C sharp minor (the fast bit of the one that starts out with Moonlight Sonata). I want to go out with a bang - even if it's only in my head.

Fck it, I just made a tiny playlist (click play all). These are some of the songs I'd play on my radio show in college:

http://grooveshark.com/playlist/Noname+s+Playlist+1/61181973

The lyrics in "Stephanie Says" really speak to me. The others are mostly about the sound.

 

This song is my boyfriend (he introduced it to me):

http://grooveshark.com/s/19h11+Original+Mix/GmugN?src=5

pulsing with non stop energy, intense, aggressive, masculine, more detached, SEXY. :laugh: He's way cooler than I am. It also reminds me of the vibe of LA at night which I associate with him.

I LOVE XTC. One of my favorites from them is "Dear God"... and a bunch of other songs on that same album.

I'm familiar with 1,2 and 5... but not the others. Will have to check them out!!

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

My saddest 'memory' of 'Stairway to Heaven' was as a kid in middle school. It was my first 'dance' and noone asked me to dance. Not one. This was a popular slow dance song back in the 70's-80's... and if you were consigned to the sidelines it wasn't fun.

 

Stairway to Heaven is my first choice of songs I'd be inspired to learn how to play flute to accompany... Van Morrison songs too...

The jacket/coat you're wearing in the photo with the runners in the background. I also like your style in the picture where you're wearing a cap. The hair styles and clothing styles in those two photo's fit you well.

 

On my monitor your eyes look somewhat blue-ish on some photo's, but tft-monitors aren't that color accurate, so that might explain the color difference. Green it is then. :)
