The Soundtrack of My Life

21 tracks that all tell a little something about my life so far. They come in the order of where the first one is the first song that I've found a true connection with. It was actually at that moment when I truly found music. It's when I realized how much it means to me. Due to some unpleasant stuff that has happened to me in my life I found music to be very comforting and at one point, music was really the only thing I could trust to always be there for me. Note the lyrics in every single one of these songs, for they all mean a lot to me. Either metaphorically or literally.

While I was putting this list together, I had tears in my eyes. That should tell you how much these songs mean to me. They all share one thing: great meaning. All of these songs tell a story. It's that story that I've captured and twisted into my own life. As far as I'm concerned, these songs could all be written about or by me. I'm sure we all have songs like these. It took a great amount of willpower and control to do this list. They all opened up some fresh, and not-so-fresh wounds in me. Things that I've wanted to leave behind came rushing back up to the surface. Now I dare you, make a list of your own. And see what feelings that list brings you, you might be surprised.
