Soundtrack of our lives

[Srbo]

“ I was born by the river in a little tent…” as the legendary Sam Cook would say.
I wish.
Of course I wasn`t, but somehow, I`d like to think that that`s the way it was , it gives that moment some deeper meaning in my …ahem…romantic mind.
Through my entire childhood I would say that one song ruled it all – Over the Rainbow, maybe closely followed by Doro Pesch and You are my family.
It was happieness all over, I can`t seem to remember anything from my childhood days that wasn`t coloured with rainbows…that`s how happy I was. That`s how good life was.
Teenage years…what can I say, just for like almost any other boy, the theme songs would be AC/DC`s Girls got a rhythm and, well yeah, Let me put my Love into you by the same genius mind of the Young brothers.
Here and there you fall in love and get all cheesy and corny, and then you hear Joe Cocker and his version of You are so beautiful…or maybe Eric Clapton and Wonderful Tonight.
And when some of your love dreams don`t get realised, maybe you`ll listen to GNR and “ Don`t Cry”. Or maybe just some girl of your dreams walks all of you , coz her Boots are made for walking, like Nancy would say.
Of course, during those years you also tend to get somewhat rebellious, so your heroes for a while are the Sex Pistols and Anarchy in the UK, while your parents and neighbours looked at you with Suspicious Minds what is happening to you.
Somewhere in that time you might feel Iron Maiden`s Loneliness of the long Distance Runner, since you think you are different than anybody else and that nobody really understands you.
You have Dylan`s Hard Rain falling on you, since you dared to try to explore the unknown, wanted to know the answer to all those questions, who we are, where are we coming from and where are we going , but you usually meet with CCR`s Bad Moon Rising while doing that and end up at a door Painted Black by Mick Jagger since you didn`t get any answers.

Then came the war, and I listened for a long time to, again, GNR`s “ Civil War “ and that I really don`t need it…but the longer it went on, on every step of that fight I could hear Hells Bells all around me, people telling me to Know your Enemy and that I should be Killing in the name of…
Yeah, I visited the Highway to Hell at those times as well, more than once, and also entered Metallica`s Sandman and almost went Crazy as Seal suggested somewhere…
But, thankfully, even unexpected for anyone, it eneded and the wind brought me Lennon`s voice to Give Peace a Chance and Joy Division`s message that Love will tear us apart, just like it did.
But, it finished, so Bowie called all of us and said “ Lets dance”.

I didn`t want to dance there anymore though, so I followed WASP`s “ Call of the Wild “ and while walking on Zepp`s Stairway to Heaven I got to Canada.
That`s where I met my good old friend Lonelieness again, followed by a heavy case of depression, and self abuse, so once again James and Lars where telling me about the Master of Puppets and Hendrix how I need to be excused while I kiss the sky.

And then, after a Long walk on Lou Reed`s Wild Side, I met Sarah Maclaughlings Angel, and the Angel looked exactly like my wife, and from then on I was Living Night`s In Whites Satin, and sang Dido`s Thanks you to go with it.
And there is always Ben E King telling her to Stand by Me…

And then I met my daughter…and from everywhere in the universe I hear a melody that`s called You are my Sunshine pouring down on me…

And now I know, after I Turned the Page so many times and have been Running against the Wind, lost so many Pictures of You and Sailed Away…that Times are always a changing, that you get to be a Wild Child here and there but in the end it`s importand to be Like A Rock.
There can`t be a Total Eclipse of yor heart because Love does Conquer all…..

Do you have a soundtrack that`s constantly playing in the back of your minds any given moment ?

Thanks for reading and the replys if there is to be any.

Life as a musical? All you need is love...

Life as a musical? All you need is love...

That you do.

But still, sometimes you are the Harvester of Sorrow, whether you want to be or not.

Just wanted to know what your soundtrack would be, my friends.

[Patricia A]

That's a hard one.. I'll have to give that some thought. But I'm pretty sure it would start out with "Sixteen Tons."

[Jax]

I'd have to say mine would be Wish You Were Here. As a matter of fact, thank you Srbo...I'm gonna grab my ipod and listen to it now!

[Mary Strickland]

SRBO, I want some of whatever you're having.

Hi,

The very last line of the very last song the Beatles ever recorded together -

'And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make'.

Long days and pleasant nights

It seems I didn't find my musical voice till my late teens. It seemed I was always wishing on "Someone Elses Star" (Brian White). I my 20's it always felt like I had a "Hole In My Soul" (Aerosmith). I recently filled that hole & decided "I'm Gonna Live With Jesus"(The Oak Ridge Boys). Now I know I'm gonna "Live Forever" (Billy Joe Shaver featuring Big & Rich).

You are welcome to take a good dosage of life any time you feel ready.

Shaken or stirred ?
