  • Anyone else have a theme song?

    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.
