Anyone else have a theme song?

[earlychildhoodeducator]

Today I was at the gym listening to my itunes. I usually like up beat, faster songs to get me motivated. Today a slower song from my collection came on and although I've listened to it a million times, today it particularly struck me. I ended up putting it on a loop and must have listened to it 20 times while I did the elliptical (better known by someone on this board that I read as the "devil machine"). It really made the time pass effortlessly so for what it's worth, I'm posting the lyrics and a link to a live version if anyone is bored and wants to check it out, if not just scroll right passed it. Does anyone else have a song that helps you get through a workout, a hard day or a long commute?

Here We Are
by Storm Large

"Here we are, floating around outer space
We're all looking for the final frontier
My dear, it's right in front of your face

Here we are, why are we so afraid?
We're afraid of ourselves and each other
And the humongous mess that we've made
Here we are...

Time and again I'm at the end of my rope
And I feel life's a joke that I've been sharing with you
After all we are all what we are about to be
Here we are..."

P.S. Storm usually has quite the potty mouth. This song is beautiful and clean, but if you happen to click on any of her other songs on you tube, consider yourself warned

Lets see if this link works http://youtube.com/watch?v=xbe1EyGR_KI&feature=related

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

"unwritten" by natasha bettingfield

after my divorce and the death of my mom i went thru an awful lot.......but it really was what i felt like the BEGINNING of my life.

"Unwritten"

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

Oh, oh, oh

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins

THAT'S awesome! It's what we should all feel like when we wake up every morning.
