The song that describes your life to date
- Thread starter Bill Mattocks
- Start date
Well, I had a good long think about this one and decided that you can only go with how you feel right-this-minute when tackling a question like that one.
In which case, sad as it may be (tho' the song is fabulous), this is what I feel my life has been:
[yt]myo9wXrNUP4[/yt]
The relevant bit, changing the gender from "She" to "He", that, sadly, resonates with me is:
She had a dream
And boy it was a good one
So she chased after her dream
With much desire
But when she got too close
To her expectations
Well the dream burned up
Like paper in fire

This pretty much describes MT in general...

I'm not calling anybody inbred. Just the constant back and forth, pushing and pulling, over and over nature of forums in general.

:lol: Not that I disagree with the sentiment, DD but I think the idea on this one is the song that most describes how your own life has gone so far

The last week it would be "Staying Alive"... it's been a bad week for people in this area.
I like that song I had not heard this before, it is poignant and but written with the heart and humour of experience.

Which part of the song would reveal your life to an observer do you think? Which lyric resonates with you?

This song is about finding truth through religion
And wanting to help others. I believe now working
on finishing school I can truly live by right livelyhood.

I would have thought someone would have picked this one, but no? I have always found that the line "..and he carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him 'til he cried out, in his anger and his shame, "I am leaving, I am leaving," but the fighter still remains...'' resonated with me. But my life is not quite that sad...overall...

This one used to describe my life pretty well, but times have changed for me. Thankfully.

My feelings almost to a tee-I'm drinking good Indonesian coffee right now......
,.....but you get to like sleeping with Marie! (I do a pretty decent version of this song, but that verse always gets me a playful glare from Rita-that's the wife.....)

I can fake it, since the wife is 'Ann-Marie'. I also adapted the song 'Angelina' to 'Ann-Maria, the waitress at the pizzeria!'

This
My father was a Scottish soldier, The Gordon Highlanders, so I went to school and uni in Scotland. I've either been in, lived with or worked with the military all my life ( quite long now lol), lost many friends, have fantastic memories and it's continuing, both the good and the bad bits. The Scots Guards gave our martial arts club a new building and most of our students are SGs. This evocative tune is everything, a lament for my parents and my mother's family, a lament for lost friends but also a gentle tune to remind of the good times past and to come.

Rita-that's the wife-says I do this one better than the Colin Hay song, and that it's more appropriate.
and I say it may just have been, before she came along........and sometimes still is. :lfao:
