If you had a personal theme song, what would it be?

[rockymountaindem]

I'm sure this has probably been done before, but I'm curious.

As for me, I can't decide. In My Life by the Beatles is possibly my favorite song, but it wouldn't be a zippy theme tune. How 'bout you good people?

9. Feeling Good

(Actually, I'm feeling kind of crappy today, but hopefully, it will pass. It always does one way or another, but I'm sure tired of singing the blues, Baby.)

Feeling Good
by Nina Simone

Birds flyin' high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
yeah, its a new dawn its a new day its a new life for me ooooooooh
AND I'M FEELING GOOD

Fish in the sea, you know how I feel
River runnin' free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
And I'm feelin good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what i mean dont you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done that's what I mean
And this old world is a new world and a bold world for me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Yeah, Freedom is mine, and I know how I feel
Its a new dawn, its a new day, its a new life for me
OH I'M FEELING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

[TroubleMan]

10. Well, at the risk of sounding redundant, it's "Trouble Man" by Marvin Gaye

That song mirrors my life, it's my favorite song, and it was made the same year I was born.

[JimmyJazz]

11. "Lost in the Supermarket" - the Clash

[Skittles]

12. Pink Floyd's Learning To Fly

"Learning To Fly"

Into the distance, a ribbon of black
Stretched to the point of no turning back
A flight of fancy on a windswept field
Standing alone my senses reeled
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
Can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted Just an earth-bound misfit, I
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to guide my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
My grubby halo, a vapour trail in the empty air,
Across the clouds I see my shadow fly
Out of the corner of my watering eye
A dream unthreatened by the morning light
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night
There's no sensation to compare with this
Suspended animation, A state of bliss
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, I

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

15. She Is Love

Oh when the sunshine beckons to ya
And your wings begin to unfold
The thoughts you bring and the songs you sing
Are gonna keep me from the cold

And if the sword is among ya
And it's words may wound my soul
You can fill me up with what you've got
Cos my heart's been keeping old


She is love
And her ways are high and steep
She is love
And I believe her when she speaks.
Love
And her ways are high and steep
She is love
And I believe, I do believe her when she speaks.

You're in all my thoughts of passion
And the dreams of my delight
Whatever stirs my mortal frame
Will you keep it warm at night

I don't know where you come from
No I haven't got a clue
All I know is I'm in love
With someone who loves me too.

17. How about a personal theme album?

It's a compilation: Jimmy Cliff - Reggae Hits. Most are from the Vietnam era but it's seems so very current right now.
