Sound Track of YOUR Life

Several of us created a soundtrack to our lives in 2008.  I revisited it today to see if much has changed. There are some minor tweaks! Here us is the revised edition.

If there was a soundtrack to your life what would those songs be?

Whether it be classical music, rock or maybe a mix? Play along, please. Copy and Paste and make a Life's Playlist.

If there is a scene in your movie missing from mine please add it, after all, it is your Life and your Soundtrack.

  1. This is such an interesting concept! I think devising such a list takes more brainpower than I have at the moment, but I'm going to keep mulling over the concept. And hey, I'm a John Denver fan too. I miss him. He was gone too soon.

  3. What a great idea! I think my soundtrack would be a mixture of music, but a lot of it would consist of classic rock tunes.
