What songs would you include on the "soundtrack of your life?"
Edit: this is long, really long and probably not the way you're supposed to do it, I'm new at these writters block things so spare me.
"A Year From Now" - Across Five Aprils
This song reminds me of my two old best friends and how we used to plan what'd we be like when we get older, and now that we're there and you're not next to me anymore, ' you were a priority ? was i an option ?'
"Awkward Last Words/Slip Like Space" - Armor For Sleep
First Awkward Last Words, is because most of the time I get close to someone, as in second half talk to in the middle of the night crying guy friend, I push them away. "I never had the gift of holding on to you" And I regret it later on, "I wanna live again, I wanna start everything over again." While I wish everything would just go back to normal.
Second, so many times I've had my dreams shot down by people who've been lucky enough to hear them numerous times, or taken as a joke. And that's what this song gives off to me.
"Anything But Ordinary" - Avril Lavigne
Basically stated in the title.
"Mix Tape" Brand New
I love this band, and song, and it's my feelings about a lot of people. "Ive got a twenty dollar bill that no ones ever seen you without make up, you're always made up"
"Pin Your Wings" - Copeland
My take on this song is that the guy is singing about a self concious girl who needs to take a break and just let go and go for what you want. This is how I try to live my life, I see a lot of myself in it.
"Bend and Not Break" - Dashboard Confessional
I hide my emotions far too well. Times where I want to cry - "I can break and take it with a smile" - and i can cover it up so well and fake a smile until I'm alone and have thought things over, and then i might cry.
"Saying Sorry" - Hawthorne Heights
Whenever I've seen one of my friends freeze up and then just break down uncontrollably, I don't know what to do and it "makes me feel like saying sorry". Even if I don't know the person well, I just care too much.
"Drive" - Incubus
Although I've lost many friends in my life, and some of them may hold grudges against me now but they don't know that the one time that everyone else leaves there side or they need a helping hand, I'd be there in a second. "Whatever tomorrow brings Ill be there, with open arms"
"Anthem For the Broken Hearted" - JamisonParker
This is the all time revenge song in my opinion, everytime somethings ended badly with a boy I turn to this song "I just cant wait to make you hate me a little more" This song has gotten me through so many tough times, I just feel some connection to it that I cant even explain.
"These Are The Nights" - Making April
With my old friends, we went to this concert and finally i felt accepted and loved by those girls, and even though we're not all close anymore this will always be our little anthem "these are the nights when you know when youre there"
"Just Say You're Not Into It" - Mayday Parade (and all their songs?)
One of my all time favorite songs, 'watch me spin circles as i disappear', again it just holds a special place in my heart.
"Here With Me" - Michelle Branch
I couldnt even explain to anyone on this planet what this song means to me, it got me through one of the hardest moments and weeks of my life. It helped me get the courage and to realize how much I missed my old friends, after listening I talked to them we all cried and promised to fix things, though we havent it still settles us all to know that we still love eachother even if we barely talk anymore.
"Take Me or Leave Me" - Rent
One of my favorite philosophies, take me for what I AM or LEAVE ME i dont need to waste my time with people who want me to change.
"Rise From the Ashes" - Quietdrive
Also, after that feud was settled with my friends, this helped me get on with my life, my rebirth persay (corny sorry) but it empowers me and moves me.
"Tell Me Something Good" - The Rocket Summer
My views on life. I've grown sick of hearing all the horrible things that happen in this world, and once in a while would like to see something good that happened on the front cover. I know it doesnt necessarily sell the most, but people need to know there are good things still to look for.
"Beauty in the Breakdown" - The Scene Aesthetic
So much of this song I relate to, certain lines at certain times, "take the time to let it go step away and watch me grow" reminds me of my family and how they never give me the time to bloom into who I want to be and instantly shoot down anything different.
The Spill Canvas, in general, just I don't want to continue making this longer with writing all of their songs with all their meanings. (as if i havent made this long enough) Same with The Starting Line
"My Beautiful Rescue" - This Providence
For my two best guy friends, who've rescued me numerous times. If I'm crying they'd know just what to say, if I'm annoyed they don't always listen the first time but once they get it they're there with loving words and a rescue.
"Breathe Again" - Too Sorry For Apologies
I've got my mind made up that all i need is love, which is the main theme of the song.
"I've Caught Fire" - The Used
The last time I was in that 'cant think of anyone else' stage was with someone whose eyes could break my heart, make me smile, and cause me to cave in within seconds, unfortunately the last one still occurs quite often.
I'm going to end this, I know I started doing it my own way and its long but if you read this far, thank you you now probably know me better than anyone I actually know.
