What is your theme song?
In order to answer the first ?OW of 2009, take a moment to reflect on the past year. Feel free to reflect on your lifetime up to this point. Considering all your highs and lows, which song would you assign as your theme song? Or, if you have a few in mind, name one song that would be the hit single on your soundtrack. Please keep in mind that I am not asking for your favorite song, but a song that may define either your life or your current identity. (Lyrics and any video links are a plus!)
For example, when I first saw Brandi Carlile's music video for "The Story," not only was I immediately captivated by the raw emotion she conveyed, but I made an instant connection with the lyrics. Rather than a theme song, I'd say I have an ongoing soundtrack for the different chapters in my life. This song is part of that soundtrack because it probably best encompasses all of my reflections on life and love in the past year.
The Story by Brandi Carlile

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Oh because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of my friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess
No, they don't know who I really am
And they don't know what I've been through like you do
And I was made for you.
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you
Ohh yea it's true... That I was made for you
