I have a constant soundtrack to my life. Pretty much anything made by Duran Duran could bring back memories of high school. The Bangles’ Greatest hits play in the background of some of that time, as well. Evanescence dominates my late twenties until about thirty. I still can’t listen to Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory” without having fond memories. “Life is a Highway” (the original), “Sadeness” by Enigma and “November Rain” was the soundtrack to my summer visit to Nebraska when I lost my virginity. Anything by Meatloaf will forever remind me of the theater crowd at high school, cast parties, and Rocky Horror Picture Show. “Separate Ways” by Journey, Clannad, and Styx still holds memories of Kansas and my friends there. (As well as a crush…big surprise there!) Metallica and Bryan Adams discographies will remind me of my daughter’s father and my journey back home. Godsmack and Linkin Park will carry with it the beginning of my marriage. Now, it is One Republic’s turn. I sit here, typing away and remembering so much. It makes me wish I could turn back time and relive some moments. The moments where I should have bitten the bullet and spoken up I could remedy. The moments I cherish to this day, I could stand back and enjoy again. I think everyone, at some point in their lives, feel this way. What song will be playing? What is your life’s soundtrack? Here’s some of mine:
