I think it all started with Ally McBeal. Did you ever watch that show? I used to love it. The dancing baby was the best, but I also loved the way their tongues would fall out when they saw a hot man. LoL. There has been a few times in my life where I think I’ve looked like that.
Bon Jovi was on Oprah a few weeks ago and I made a point of watching. I watch Oprah every now and then but I can’t handle it every day because it gets to be too much. However, I’m a huge BON JOVI fan. I’ve always been a fan of the band, but as I grew older, I became a fan of HIS. Married to his high school sweetheart for 16 years with 4 kids, the man is amazing. He acts, he sings, he writes the songs.
And he inspires.
What do these two things have in common? I’m getting there. You see, back in July I did an interview right here for Access Romance and one of the questions was “Do you have a theme song?” Immediately, I knew what mine was.
“It’s My Life.” By Bon Jovi. There are others that suit my moods, and once that I can look back on as once that could’ve been theme songs at other points in my life. Like Jimmy Buffet’s “Maragaritaville.” Uh huh, that could’ve been my theme song for my early twenties when I was working in nightclubs and partying was my lifestyle. “I Need A Man” by Annie Lennox is still an occasional theme song for me. *blush* But in general, I’ve decided that It’s My Life is the main one.
It’s perfect for how I’ve always lived, and how I always want to live. Plus I think I feel in love with the song when I heard the “This is the ones who stood their ground. For Tommy and Gina who never backed down.” Why did that line make me love it even more? Because Tommy and Gina are the couple the song “Living On A Prayer” is about. And like books, recurring characters can make things richer.
So..do YOU have a theme song? What makes that particular song strike a cord with you?

Lyrics for “It’s My Life”
This ain’t a song for the broken-hearted
A silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain’t gonna be just a face in the crowd
You’re gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud
Chorus:
It’s my life
It’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I’m alive
It’s my life
This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow’s getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain’t even lucky
Got to make your own breaks
Chorus:
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
‘Cause it’s my life
Better stand tall when they’re calling you out
Don’t bend, don’t break, baby, don’t back down
Chorus:
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
‘Cause I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
Chorus:
It’s my life
And it’s now or never
‘Cause I ain’t gonna live forever
I just want to live while I’m alive
(It’s my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I’m alive
‘Cause it’s my life!

Hmm. I don’t know if I have just one. More like a soundtrack LOL. Some days it’s Keith Urban’s “Tonight I Want to Cry”, other days it’s Garth Brooks “Change” (it’s not the world that I am changing,…I do this so the world will not change me). Other times it’s Shania Twain’s “Man, I Feel Like a Woman”. I’ll have to think of more…

Different ones at different points in my life; sometimes, different songs for different moods. Right now, though, Unchained Melody runds in the background of my days.

(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life
(CHORUS)
I’ve had the time of my life
No I never felt this way before
Yes I swear it’s the truth
And I owe it all to you
‘Cause I’ve had the time of my life
And I’ve searched through every open door
‘Til I found the truth
And I owe it all to you

Hmm, I’ve had so many theme songs..
When I was younger it was ‘Rebel Yell’ by Billy Idol, now it’s ‘Cuz I Can’ by Pink…
So I’ll cash my checks and place my bets
And hope I’ll always win
Even if I don’t I’m ***ked because
I live a life of sin
But it’s alright
I don’t give a damn
I don’t play your rules I make my own
Tonight
I’ll do what I want
Cuz I can

Thanks for sharing everyone!
