The Song That Best Sums Up Your Life
 

As of today...Tears of Rage (it's why I'm move from Chicago)


We carried you in our arms
On Independence Day
And now you’d throw us all aside
And put us on our way
Oh what dear daughter ’neath the sun
Would treat a father so
To wait upon him hand and foot
And always tell him, “No?”
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Why must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so alone
And life is brief

We pointed out the way to go
And scratched your name in sand
Though you just thought it was nothing more
Than a place for you to stand
Now, I want you to know that while we watched
You discover there was no one true
Most ev’rybody really thought
It was a childish thing to do
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so low
And life is brief

It was all very painless
When you went out to receive
All that false instruction
Which we never could believe
And now the heart is filled with gold
As if it was a purse
But, oh, what kind of love is this
Which goes from bad to worse?
Tears of rage, tears of grief
Must I always be the thief?
Come to me now, you know
We’re so low
And life is brief

my song is Staying Alive not only so we can enjoy TV, but its the song of CPR and keeping someone else alive to enjoy their life

"In My Life" by The Beatles. What more can you say?

My Way by Frank Sinatra.

In the old Italian neighborhood, it was the national athem.

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" by Iron Butterfly

Mine also. I was going to joke and say "I'm a Loser" But "In My Life" fits all of us who live in The Villages.

Ain't She Sweet - Tony Sheridan

(backed up by some group called The Beat Brothers). Wonder whatever became of them.............

The Beat Brothers were just another of those back up bands that didn't attain much success. They would never amount to being another Tony Sheridan. Just four guys from Britan tring to make a few bucks in Germany. Although I did hear that they did have a hit or two.

With one more look at you
I could learn to tame the clouds
And let the sun shine through
Leave a troubled past and I might start anew
I'll solve the mysteries if you're the prize

Refresh these tired eyes

With one more look at you

I might overcome the anger

That I learned to know

Find a piece of mind I lost so long ago

Your gentle touch has made me strong again

And I belong again

For when you look at me

I'm everything and more that I had dreamed I'd be

My spirit feels a promise

I won't be alone

We'll love and live more

Love and live forever

With one more look at you

I'd learn to change the stars

And change our fortunes too

I'd have the constellations paint your portrait too

So all the world might share this wonderous sight

The world could end each night

With one more look at you

With one more look at you

I want one more look at you

Are you watching me now?

Watch closely now

Your eyes are like fingers

Touching my body

Arousing me so

I'm riding the passion arising inside me

How high can I go?

You're coming with me: I'm gonna show you how

And when it's scary, I won't look down


Are you watching me now?

Watch closely now

I see the hunger arise in your eyes

And it's urging me on

Higher and harder and it's faster and farther

Than I've ever gone

Your pleasure is part of the secret

Of flight that I found

When I feel like an eagle

My soul has no place on the ground

Born out of madness

I'll double the danger with no net at all,

If you don't look away I'm secure

In the fact that you won't let me fall

Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

I'm the master magician

Who'll help you escape

From the lies you've been told

When they're breaking your back

Bring the last straw to me

I turn straw into glod

I break chains made of boredom that others have lived with for years

I leave good news on doorsteps

And laughs where there used to be tears

I'm gonna need you later

When you're not around

But I can take it

I won't look down

Watch closely now

Are you watching me now?

Watch me now

Are you watching me now?

Are you watching me now?

Runnin' thru the Jungle by CCR

Remember When - Alan Jackson

Like that one. I cannot really think of one song that sums up my life in the Villages.

We saw the Annie production in Los Angeles about 30 years ago. Excellent.

I wanna party with you! LOL!

Singing in the Rain

"They're coming to take me away".....ha ha hee hee ho ho...to the funny farm, where life is beautifully all the time.........

:bigbow: :agree:

I would bet that Fumar would like imaginery dogs in the Villages.
 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/They're..._Away,_Ha-Haaa!

Looks like Fumar's perfect dog. One that leaves no poop, pee or makes any noise.

Another one: Joe Walsh - Life's been good to me - so far...

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtHAh2yrNzM&feature=related[/ame]

"Sing for You"
 

"Sing for You"

best performance by the group Libera

That would be my hubby's too. Loves Joe Walsh.

My Life by Billy Joel & Instant Karma

Tony Sheridan is not on that recording. It is some guy named John Lennon singing lead. What ever happened to him, anyway?

Oh and the song that best describes my life is "Across the Universe" by the Beatles.

As a guy with more than enough failed relationships, I always tell people that my life's theme song is:

Alone Again, Naturally - Gilbert O'Sullivan

We can certainly tell the "half glass empty" crowd vs. the glass half full" folks by their song choices. Very interesting. I'm hoping relocation to the Villages will help facilitate moving from the former to the latter; but, geography can only do so much.

Two songs
 

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" by Kelly Clarkson and "I will survive" by Gloria Gaynor.

26 years ago my life changed dramattically

This song sums it up::



[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1bxlDAjGCo]"I'm Movin' On" - Rascal Flatts Official Music Video - YouTube[/ame]

The Happy Wanderer.


.

Used to be Ninety-Nine Bottles of Beer on the Wall, but now it's I'm Gonna Live 'Til I Die.

Had not heard that one before.

For the past fifty years, my dear husband and best friend has been

the Wind Beneath My Wings.

Read that Sweetie?

I'm aiming for "Beautiful Day" by U2

Beautiful.
