Have you ever come across a song that speak to you? Or about your life/feeling? One that you can call your own soundtrack? (Lolz hopefully I used the term correctly.)
I have quite a few, but this song by 3 Doors Down just top the list right now.
3 Doors Down - It's The Only One You've Got
http://www.imeem.com/zaan/music/7PTRzyMn/3..._one_youve_got/
How do you know where you're going
When you don't know where you've been
You hide the shame that you're not showing and you won't let anyone in
A crowded street can be a quiet place when you're walking alone
And now you think that you're the only one
Who doesn't have to try and you won't have to fail
If you're afraid to fight then I guess you never will
You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only one you've got
Memories have left you broken and the scars have never healed
The emptiness in you is growing but so little left to fill
You're scared to look back on the days before
You're too tired to move on
And now you think that you're the only one
Who doesn't have to try and you won't have to fail
If you're afraid to fight then I guess you never will
You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only one you've got
What would it take to get you to say that I'll try
And what would you say if this was the last day of your life
You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only one you've got
You hide behind your walls of maybe nevers
Forgetting that there's something more than just knowing better
Your mistakes do not define you now, they tell you who you're not
You've got to live this life you're given like it's the only one you've got

Tonedeff - Optimist
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqnDvnsw8xM
Verse:1
Sometimes I hate everyone and everything -- to the world itself/
Even though I'm the portrait of health and been blessed with many things/
Cause when it seems life's beginning to take a splendid lead/
Suddenly, everything tends to lean negatively/
I used to feel my luck was bled from me at seventeen/
Because ever since positive outcomes have been seldom seen/
They tell me that bouts with doubt can self-fulfill prophetically/
And that's prolly why John & Paul said that it's best to let it be/
And I use to be the cat with plenty kinetic energy/
Happy go lucky, Mr. Follow-Your-Dream-And-Set-It-Free/
But over the years, son, I've been jaded to the Nth degree/
I hate it, cause my sense of grief is blatant and my friends agree/
See, people's selfish deeds lead to my bleak expectancy
(Like) If I catch the E, I never expect to see an empty seat/
(Nice) But in typical fashion, this'll pass until my next defeat/
Until I'm stressing deep and forced to beg and plea -- till then we'll sing.
Chorus:
Life is wonderful.
Life goes full circle.
Life is wondeful.
Verse:2
They say I'm a natural born pessimist -- and that's john teshin wild/
Must've come with my mother's smile and father's bullheadedness/
I pull ahead and get pulled back, but I keep struggling/
Son, I feel like I couldn't catch a break beat juggling/
Still I reach upward and on, and proceed trudging along/
As I lead these brothers in arms, to achieve what's in our hearts/
But the scene's shrugging us off, so...
I just remember that every dream comes with a scar when I see something I want/
When it seems nothing is wrong, well -- I gotta keep telling myself to stop/
Waiting for the other foot to drop/
Live in the moment, sit on the throne and just take a look from the top/
It's a whole other perspective to see the good that you got/
Now, if it's an omen, quit with the moaning! Don't let it push you to flop/
That's like being spooked at the doc since you was a baby, still shook from the shot/
Don't imagine a tragic end to the book, when there's not/
You gotta try to rewrite inspite of how crooked the plot.
Verse:3
Now, when you go this long uphill, you lose the will to climb it/
So, I wrote this song to remind me of the silver lining/
In a world this wrong, gotta carry a sword that's strong/
And slice 'em all with smiles, y'all -- I fight 'em as I kill with kindness/
Nobody wants a Bitter Benny or a Debbie Downer/
Or a Sad Sam that be wrapping a wet blanket around them/
Keep a sunny disposition -- Breathe Out/
Cause life has a way of stripping the paint off of your dream house. It's simple./
Indeed these things seem to be easy to see/
But they easily flee your mind as you find repeated deceit/
Now, there's reasons the weak of will never dream or believe/
Before they leap, they concede to defeat and agree to retreat/
Now, when fatigue has really got you by the balls/
Remember that if you really didn't believe you'd succeed, then you wouldn't have tried at all/
So, jump regardless of the consequence/
Cause even on the night of the apocalypse, everybody's an optimist.
Bridge
No matter how hard it seems.
There's always someone in another position.
So, when it rains, just hold on.
When it's gray, just hold on.
When there's pain, just hold on.
When it rains.
And when it rains, think dry skies.
When it's gray, think bright lights.
When there's pain, just smile, smile.
When it rains.
Verse:4
I know it seems everyday is a struggle to keep yourself outta trouble/
This modern jungle is jumbled with muddled puzzles to stump you/
And snipers gunning to stumble you, like you've been hunted/
Dude, how the hell are you telling us 'Life is wonderful'?/
Some of you have come to conclusions/assumptions, But nothing as true or stunning/
That misery becomes something that's comfortable/
Trumping the will to shun it. Run from it if you're stuck in a rut or two/
So, I figured I'd drum up something I could hum to you.

So here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
You made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever know is to run
So you keep on drivin faster into the sun
But everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
You don't have to find your own way out
You've got a voice let it be heard
Just when it feels you're on a dead-end road
There's always somewhere left to turn
So dont give up now you're so close to a brand new day
Yes you are
And if you just can bare to be alone then I'll stay
'Cause everybody needs somebody sometimes
Yeah, everybody needs somebody sometimes
Well maybe I've been too caught up
To see what you've been going through
All that i can say is that im here now
And everybody needs somebody sometimes
You know they do
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
Everybody needs somebody sometimes
So here you are now, nowhere to turn
It's just the same old yesterday
You made a promise to yourself
That you were never gonna be this way
And the only thing that you've ever know is to run
So you keep on drivin faster into the sun

"Happy Face" - Destiny's Child
Ah-ah,

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
I woke up this morning,
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face
Woke up and realized
This world's not
So bad after all
Looked at it through
A child's eyes, and
I saw these beautiful
Things that you
Never think about
Like the ocean, moonlight,
Stars and clouds
It's amazing how
We don't appreciate
Our blessings
There's plenty of people
Who don't like me
But there's ten times more
Who love me and
I love myself
Sometimes, it gets tough,
It gets tough
But I can't give up,
Can't give up
Just take a deep breath,
Close my eyes
Feel the love and
Give a smile
I woke up this morning,
The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

Uh, just be happy, uh,

Today is the day
I am willing to say
I will put all the
Past behind me,
No more enemies
Ready 'cause

The sunshine was shining
I put on my happy face
I'm living, I'm able,
I'm breathing, I'm grateful
To put on my happy face

One song that reminds me of life....
Tiesto in the Dark...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCLWMfuplJ8
When it seems like the world around you's breaking
and it feels like there's no one else around you
And it's quiet there's a silence in the darkness
and it sounds like the carnival is over
As you walk in the crowded empty spaces
And you stare at the emptiness around you
You wanna go to the city and the bright lights
And get away from the sinners that surround you
'Cause I will be there and you will be there
We'll find each other in the dark
And you will see and I'll see it too
'Cause we'll be together in the dark
'Cause if it's coming for you
then it's coming for me
'cause I will be there
'Cause we need each other in the dark
And if it terrifies you then it terrifies me
'Cause I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
As I look in to the sky the sparks bright as ice
You want me to take you over there
I want you to stay with me
'cause you're not the only one
The only one
No no
Don't worry you're not the only one
'Cause if it's coming for you
then it's coming for me
But I will be there
'Cause we need each other in the dark
And if it's panicking you then it's panicking me
But I will be there
So we've got each other in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
We'll need each other in the dark
In the dark
In the dark
We'll hold each other in the dark
Now we're save together in the dark
'Cause we've got each other in the dark...
Makes me think of my lost love life...

"When I Get Old"
by
The Descendents
What will it be like when I get old?
Will I still hop on my bike
And ride around town?
Will I still want to be someone
And not just sit around?
I don't want to be like other adults
Cause they've already died
Cool and condescending, fossilized.
Will I be rich, will I be poor?
Will I still sleep on the floor?
What will it be like when I get..
What will I be like when I get..
What will it be like when I get old?
Will I still kiss my girlfriend
And try to grab her ass?
Will I still hate the cops and have no class?
Will all my grown up friends say
They've see it all before
They say hey act your age and I'm immature.
Will I do myself proud
or only what's allowed?
(Chorus)
Will I sit around and talk about the old days
Sit around and watch TV
I never want to go that way
Never burn out
Not fade away
As I travel through my time
Will I like what I find?
(Chorus)
Once more into the buffet
Into the last good bite I'll ever know
Live and eat on this day. Live and eat on this day.
Into the last good bite I'll ever know
Live and eat on this day. Live and eat on this day.

Stacie Orrico - (There's Gotta Be) More To Life
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go
[Chorus]
There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing
[repeat chorus]
i'm wanting more
I'm always waiting on something other than this
Why am I feelin' like there's something I missed.....
I've got it all, but I feel so deprived

Le Pastie De la Bourgeoisie- Belle and Sebastian
Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
You'd stay home, oh, if only they'd let you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Municipal pool, you're a junior life saver
But you're friends are all serious ravers
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
Reading Judy Blume
But you came too soon
You're too tall, much too tall for a boyfriend
They run and hide, from your buckteeth and split ends
Don't be scared, like the books you've read
You're the heroine
You'll be doing fine
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Bestowing the memory of good and evil
On the ones you left behind
The heartless swine
And you love like nobody around you
How you love, and a halo surrounds you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
In the Autumn cool
Say cheerio to school
Listen dear, I've been watching you lately
If I said all these things you would hate me
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie
At the church bazaar
I nearly went too far
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Give yourself up to the allure of
Catcher in the Rye
The future's swathed in Stars and Stripes
Wouldn't you like to get away?
Kerouac's beckoning with open arms
And open roads of eucalyptus
Westward bound
Sunbeam shone, mousy girl on the end pew
You'd stay home, oh, if only they'd let you
Le Pastie de la Bourgeoisie

This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard, and I'm not even sure why... Its not really related to my life, but its one of those songs that I never quite grow old of, no matter how many times I listen to it...
Songs for the Rich by Tristan Prettyman
Get off work about 4 o'clock
and I'm late again
cause you'll be here by 6:30
and we'll go looking for a close parking spot again
Sitting in a room full of believers
now you tell me what's wrong and what's right
cause I look over at you baby,
you got your good intentions focused so tight
and now it hurts me so, to have to see you go
to watch these drugs pull you down
when there's nothing we can do and no one to get through
watch you fall in and out of this mess
What's wrong with a little bit of experimentation to
open the eyes of the new generation well...
build your world on a cocaine foundation and
watch it all blow away...
And now it hurts me so, to have to see you go
to watch these drugs pull you down
when there's nothing we can do and no one can get through
watch you fall deeper into this mess
Well I haven't see you in awhile
you know I, I miss our talks I miss your smile
cause the look of innocence is priceless
but right now you look so lifeless
And now it hurts me so, to have to see you go
to watch this song break you down
and when you feel you can't get through and there's no hope left in you
you know I'll be right here to help you find your way out...
And now it hurts me so to have to see you go, to watch these drugs pull you down....

Wow! I love you! I've been wondering what the name of that song was!
Some say i'm a genius, others say i'm crazy
but they all say i'm a little on the weird side

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.
So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

Just come to show how diverse we are. I wonder if there's a song that more than one person consider their soundtrack? Maybe they're soulmate 
cuntbucket and meenuh, do you have a background in music? I find it a bit harder for me to appreciate classical music. I wonder if it's because of the lack of music in my background.

Everything But the Girl - Single (Photek Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSG1T6jSOVA
I called you from the hotel phone
I haven't dialled this code before
I'm sleeping later and waking later
I'm eating less and thinking more
And how am I without you?
Am I more myself or less myself?
I feel younger, louder
Like I don't always connect
Like I don't ever connect
And do you like being single?
Do you want me back?
Do you want me back?
And do I like being single?
Am I coming back?
Am I coming back?
I'll put my suitcase here for now
I'll turn the TV to the bed
But if no one calls and I don't speak all day
Do I disappear?
And look at me without you
I'm quite proud of myself
I feel reckless, clumsy
Like I'm making a mistake
A really big mistake
And do you like being single?
Do you want me back?
Do you want me back?
And do I like being single?
Am I coming back?
Am I coming back?
Do you want me back? (x6)
And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking
And now I know
Each time I go
I don't really know
What I'm thinking of
Do you want me back? (x5)

I wouldn't say this song is my life soundtrack, but as of right now, it just fits.

All and All
by Lifehouse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuOmHMPYmXo
Standing on top of the edge it feels like it's going down
Everything stays in my mind feeling in a daze on the ground
Feels like it's gonna give life's to hard to live anymore
I think I've had enough things too tough
I'm out the door
All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you
Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today
Things don't stop and the others announced they're moving on
Salt & tears in the minds in the mouths of a bad decision
Too late for another mistake it's bringing me down
With all your faults it isn't your fault
What's going on
All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you
Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today
So you lost yourself
So you lost your way
Found life through someone else
But you threw it all away
All in all it's just another day now
You're falling down
What you gonna do
Standing on top of the world tonight
No ones looking back at you
Stand tall
It's going on
It's going on
It's gonna be just fine
You're holding on
Holding on today
Times rolling on
Rolling on today
It's going on
Going on today
Blind

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
and still I have the pain I have to carry
a past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried
after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
I would fall asleep
only in hopes of dreaming
that everything would be like is was before
but nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
they disappear as reality is crashing to the floor
after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
after all this time
would you ever wanna leave it
maybe you could not believe it
that my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you will ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
and I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me dies when I let you go
I'm a lifehouse junkie so I only like the live versions of their songs but these two describe my life.
