OT: What's your theme song? (cross post)

For years, I've considered this my theme song: "So Far Away" by Staind This is my life Its not what it was before All these feelings I’ve shared And these are my dreams That I’d never lived before Somebody shake me Cause I, I must be sleeping Now that we're here, It's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All the mistakes, One life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here its so far away And I feel like I can face the day I can forgive and I’m not ashamed to be the person that I am today These are my words That I’ve never said before I think I’m doing ok And this is the smile That I’ve never shown before But I recently found this song on iTunes and it's become my mantra - it really works for anybody in this forum, and I have to be honest - I've been listening to it quite a bit the last few days and can say it's put things back into perspective for me in a big way: "Best Days" by Graham Colton With everything I've ever done I'd give it all to everyone for one more day Another night I'm waking through Anther door I walk intro I can't break It's a winding road It's a long way home So don't wait for someone to tell you it's too late Cuz these are the best days There's always something tomorrow So I say let's make the best of tonight Here comes the rest of our lives Check it out on iTunes!  It's a beautiful song!

Nikki, I love Staind!  In fact, they're my song on my MySpace and OH pages.  The one I love is "Everything Changes".  However, for  a theme song, I always go to "In Christ Alone/Solid Rock" by Travis Cotrell.  Here is a link to YouTube for it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFzsU6u853I Lyrics: In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light, my strength, my song This Cornerstone, this solid ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand In Christ alone, who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save ‘til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him laid Here in the death of Christ I live There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ On Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand On Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand No guilt of life, no fear of death This is the power of Christ in me From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand ‘til He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand Take care.

Okay, the link didn't work, you'll have to cut and paste it, sorry.

Voice Of Truth Lyrics Artist(Band):Casting Crowns Oh,what I would do to have the kind of faith it takes To climb out of this boat I'm in Onto the crashing waves To step out of my comfort zone Into the realm of the unknown Where Jesus is, And he's holding out his hand But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed The waves they keep on telling me time and time again "Boy, you'll never win, you'll never win." But the voice of truth tells me a different story the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!" and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory" Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth Oh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes To stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed The giant keeps on telling me time and time again "Boy you'll never win, you'll never win." But the voice of truth tells me a different story the voice of truth says "do not be afraid!" and the voice of truth says "this is for my glory" Out of all the voices calling out to me I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth but the stone was just the right size to put the giant on the ground and the waves they don't seem so high from on top of them looking down i will soar with the wings of eagles when i stop and listen to the sound of Jesus singing over me But the voice of truth tells me a different story The voice of truth says do not be afraid And the voice of truth says this is for my glory Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me) I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe) I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth I will listen and believe I will listen and believe the voice of truth I will listen and believe 'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truth And I will listen to you.. oh you are

I LOVE Staind, and that's one of my all time favorite songs up there. Right now I'd have to say that I most identify with "Nothing Else Matters" By Metalica... which by the way, Staind did a cover of. :)  So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trust in who we are And nothing else matters Never opened myself this way Life is ours, we live it our way All these words I don't just say And nothing else matters Trust I seek and I find in you Every day for us something new Open mind for a different view And nothing else matters Never care for what they do Never care for what they know But I know So close no matter how far Couldn't be much more from the heart Forever trust in who we are And nothing else matters Never care for what they do Never care for what they know And I know

When I saw the title the first song that popped into my mind was "dontcha" by PCD haha - dontcha wish your girlfriend was hot like me...  You all are so deep and meaningfull :-) I thought a few minutes and dont really have a theme song... I have many songs that have certain memories but nothing I can think of for my entire life... I will have to ponder this one!

I find humor at all the mention of Staind.... since the day I first heard the song.. it's been "My song" if there was ever a song that made me just go .. Oh yeah - that's me....

Staind - It's Been A While

It's been a while Since I could hold my head up high and it's been a while Since I first saw you It's been a while since i could stand on my own two feet again and it's been a while since i could call you And everything I can't remember is f**ked up as it all may seemed the consequences that were rendered I've stretched myself beyond my means It's been a while since i could say that i wasn't addicted and It's been a while Since I could say I love myself as well and It's been a while Since I've gone and f**ked things up just like i always do It's been a while But all that s**t seems to disappear when i'm with you And everything I can't remember is f**ked up as it all may seem the consequences that were rendered I've gone and f**ked things up again Why must i feel this way? just make this go away just one more peaceful day Its been awhile Since I could look at myself straight and it's been awhile since i said i'm sorry It's been a while Since I've seen the way the candles light your face It's been a while But I can still remember just the way you taste But everything I can't remember as f**ked up as it always seemed...to be I know it's me i cannot blame this on my father he did the best he could for me It's been a while Since I could hold my head up high and it's been a while since i said i'm sorry

That song by Graham Colton is excellent!  I hadn't heard it before, but looked it up on You Tube after you suggested it.  I'm definitely going to Itunes to download that one!   I'm still smiling inside just thinking about it...Thanks! I guess I have to think a little longer about what my personal theme song is.  There are so many running through my head, but not any one that sticks out as "The Song!"  :)

You ladies are lovely.  But, way too thoughtful and deep for me.  I've always thought my theme song is "Seether" by Veruca Salt:  ; Ow! Seether is neither loose nor tight, Seether is neither black nor white. I tried to keep her on a short leash, I tried to calm her down. I tried to ram her into the ground, yeah. Cant fight the seether x3 I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth. Seether is neither big nor small. Seether is the center of it all. I tried to rock her in my cradle, I tried to knock her out, I tried to cram her back in my mouth, yeah. Cant fight the seether ( seether ) x3 I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth. Keep her down, boiling water, Keep her down, what a lovely daughter. Oh, she is not born like other girls, But I know how to conceive her. Oh, she may not look like other girls, But shes a snarl-toothed seether, seether! Cant fight the seether ( seether ) x3 I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth. Seether Cant fight the seether ( seether ) x3 I cant see her till Im foaming at the mouth. Yeah.
