The topic below got me thinking so what is your theme song for life?
You know the one that always gets you going. That's lyrics speak to you. That you blast at the gym or cheer yourself up with on a rough day!
Mine hands down is the Moto Blanco remix of Mary J Blige's "Just Fine"
Awesome happy dancey track with amazing lyrics - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvHmNPSSMTE&feature=fvw

When i work out with my sister she will break in the black eyed peas song, "up in the gym, just a working on me fitness, whooo eeee" or however it goes so whenever I need a jolt or pick me up I'll say that too. For some reason it reminds me of a firm, fit butt ... lol, I know. But hey whatever works right !!
For my life it is and has been since the first time I heard it - The Games, HATE IT OR LEAVE IT. It came out either right before or during the time I was in law school but I would in all seriousness play that song as I turned onto the road that the school was on.
(I really felt like the underdog there. I was older, a single mom, and just didn't have the money that I felt other's did. but I also knew that I was given a great opportunity and I had to give it my all).
That song is about someone growing up in the ghetto, bike getting stolen, etc but then they make it and they go back with Jacob's (jewelry) on, Benz's and 30 million dollar planes, and are just living large.
The lyrics, "Hate it or leave it the underdog's on top and I'm gonna shine homie until my heart stops, Go ahead and envy me cause I'm raps MVP and I ain't going no where, so you can get to know me. " Just fired me up and was my "I'm here and you better recognize" anthem.
And it worked. I'm not boasting or bragging or being conceited but my grades were some of the best there. Staying at the top of my class frequently, hovering near the top always. So where they measured success with monetary things I measured my success with grades.
It will alway be a song that is an anthem for my life regardless of the situation because it is was the driving force me getting through the hardest thing I had done in my life to that point. So now as I work and exercise and push it, I can listen to that song and get just as fired up as I did in preparing to walk through those doors.
And it doesn't hurt that 50 cent and the whole group on that video are just ripped and a great motivator to workout too.
Thank you for the post and for helping me to remember the fire that I have burning in me.0 -
I have one for just about every mood. I consider my moods separate TV shows in their own right (although some of them wouldn't score a terribly high rating with a National audience...)

Move Along by All-American Rejects
When all you've got to keep is strong
Move along
Move along
Like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along
Move along
Just to make it through.0 -
This was me 25 years ago:
Ride on -- AC / DC
It's another lonely evening
And another lonely town
But I ain't too young to worry
And I ain't too old to cry
When a woman gets me down
Got another empty bottle
And another empty bed
Ain't too young to admit it
And I'm not too old to lie
I'm just another empty head
That's why I'm lonely
I'm so lonely
But I know what I'm gonna do -
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on
Ride on, standing on the edge of the road
Ride on, thumb in the air
Ride on, one of these days I'm gonna
Ride on, change my evil ways
Till then I'll just keep riding on
Broke another promise
And I broke another heart
But I ain't too young to realize
That I ain't too old to try
Try to get back to the start
And it's another red light nightmare
Another red light street
And I ain't too old to hurry
Cause I ain't too old to die
But I sure am hard to beat
But I'm lonely
Lord I'm lonely
What am I gonna do -
Ride on
Ride on, got myself a one-way ticket
Ride on
Ride on, going the wrong way
Ride on, gonna change my evil ways
Ride on, one of these days
One of these days
Ride on
Ride on
I'm gonna ride on
Ride on, looking for a truck
Ride on
Ride on, keep on riding
Riding on and on and on and on
Gonna have myself a good time
Ohhh yeah
Ride ride ride
One of these days
One of these days...
This is me now:
Wonderful Tonight -- Eric Clapton
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."
I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."0 -
THIS IS SUCH A GOOD THREAD! Music = win.
This is also a super hard choice.
On my lower self esteem days, perhaps "Bad Body Double" by Imogen Heap.
She pops into the bathroom
Just after a shower and
She plays with my makeup and creams
Keeps trying to look like me
And goes through the motions
Posing this way and that,
Holding it in,
If it makes you feel better, then knock yourself out
Say hi there to my bad body double...
OR:
On my good self esteem days, definitely Extraordinary by Liz Phair.
I am extraordinary, if you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary, I am just your ordinary
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess
Average every day sane psycho
Supergoddess

When I'm feeling inspirational, it's Shine by Anna Nalick:
Oh the night makes you a star
And it holds you cold in its arms
You’re the one to whom nobody verses I love you
Unless you say it first
So you lie there holding your breath
And its strange how soon you forget
That you’re like stars
They only show up when it’s dark
Cause they don’t know their worth
And I think you need to stop following misery’s lead
Shine away shine away shine away
Isn’t it time you got over how fragile you are
We’re all waiting
Waiting on your supernova
Cause that’s who you are
And you’ve only begun to shine
When I'm trying to get pumped by blasting some heavy stuff, it's "Fire It Up" by Thousand Foot Krutch. Oh you can't not want to run or punch something when you hear that song!0 -
Make A Wish by Jack Ingram ... it just "fits" me0

Me too faerie, I think it was at the end of the movie 7 pounds, when I heard "Troubled Waters" I was hooked.
You have great taste.
edited to add- Wait that was Bird York-Have No Fear from 7 pounds. Now it's bugging me what movie I first heard Cat Power.0 -

Don't think I have heard a song from her that I don't like.....I believe "Willie" is one of the best....and "Shaking Paper" comes to mind also....her version of "New York" is pretty good....0 -

There are so many songs that I like and that fit me.....but I guess my anthem for right now "Strip Me" by Natasha Bedingfield
I am normally not a huge fan of hers, but this song just speaks volumes....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnhDIGTldho
Everyday I fight for all my future somethings
A thousand little wars I have to choose between
I could spend a lifetime earning things I don't need
That's like chasing rainbows and coming home empty
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'll be alright
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that!
I don't need a microphone yeah
To say what I've been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
That's always on eleven
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'm still the same
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that!
Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day
It's what you do and say that makes you who you are
Makes you think about, think about it doesn't it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that from me
You ain't taking that!0 -

Since I'm such a geek, all my friends have deemed the song Nrrrd Grrrl by MC Chris as my official anthem.
And I mean a real geek... like I read comics, play video games, and D&D.

watch me shine by Joanni Pacinni (i think thats how you spell her name) you all probably remember the song from Legally Blonde when Elle is in the bunny suit waiting to pay for her laptop and she decides she is going to prove that she is bad *kitten* to all those that think she is a ding dong!0

The Middle by Jimmy Eat World. Reminds me I've got it under control, others' opinions of me are not supremely important, and that a little patience never killed anyone.
there are others, but this one always applies.
Loving this thread.!!0
