What song sums up your experiences so far in life?

Question

Write some of the lyrics as well...

Mine is "Is That All There Is?" sung by Peggy Lee (not sure who it's originally written by).

"Is that all there is, is that all there is

If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing

Let's break out the booze and have a ball

If that's all there is"

I used to be a marathon runner and a soldier in the Army, then I got hurt in the Army and everything just kind of stopped in its tracks...the song fits like a glove

Answer 3

I always think of myself as a great friend through the years ... I am stable and will always love my friends through the great times and through the low times ....

You've Got A Friend ... James Taylor

When youre down and troubled

And you need a helping hand

And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me

And soon I will be there

To brighten up even your darkest nights.

You just call out my name,

And you know whereever I am

Ill come running, oh yeah baby

To see you again.

Winter, spring, summer, or fall,

All you have to do is call

And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Youve got a friend.

If the sky above you

Should turn dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind should begin to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

And soon I will be knocking upon your door.

You just call out my name and you know where ever I am

Ill come running to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall

All you got to do is call

And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?

People can be so cold.

Theyll hurt you and desert you.

Well theyll take your soul if you let them.

Oh yeah, but dont you let them.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am

Ill come running to see you again.

Oh babe, dont you know that,

Winter spring summer or fall,

Hey now, all youve got to do is call.

Lord, Ill be there, yes I will.

Youve got a friend.

Youve got a friend.

Aint it good to know youve got a friend.

Aint it good to know youve got a friend.

Youve got a friend.

Answer 4

"Farewell to Nova Scotia". This is a well-known song to all Nova Scotians, and describes my experiences since I was a soldier, and then a teacher in Japan.

Answer 5

Ah Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham's Guitar Melody "Land Slide" is my all time favorite song for reflecting on.

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

and saw my reflection in snow covered hills

until the landslide took it down.
