Your life is a movie...what's the soundtrack?

KappaStargirl · #1 02-23-2002, 04:54 PM

The things you think about in the car on the way home from work...

I was compiling a list in my head of all the songs that would be on the soundtrack if my life were made into a movie. These aren't necessarily favorite songs, but ones that say something about my life, or make me remember a special person or time. I could probably go on for a while, but 10's my limit:

"American Girl" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
"Ain't it Funny" by Jennifer Lopez
"Have You Ever Needed Someone So Bad" by Def Leppard
"Tom Sawyer" by Rush
"Land Down Under" by Men at Work
"Thank You" by Alanis Morrisette
"The Pass" by Rush
"Learning to Fly" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
"Crash" by the Dave Matthews Band
"Two Kinds of Love" by Stevie Nicks

sorry if this thread has already been done...I do searches for a living and I was just feeling lazy. thought it would be fun.
