If there was one song...

you thought that everyone should listen to at least once, what song would that be?


People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

I have two that are 'Must Listen'

1- Cats in the Cradle  --  Harry Chapin
2- I still haven't found what I'm lookin' for  --  U2


Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

"You Light Up My LIfe" -- because it's so horrid that after the ordeal of living through it, every other song seems just a little better because it's not "You Light Up My Life".

LOL!  I'll tell Debbie that next time I see her.

"Dream On" by Aerosmith, specifically the first chorus:

Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face getting clearer.
The past is gone,
it went by like dusk to dawn.
Isn't that the way,
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay.

That chorus serves as a reminder that I'm not getting any younger and that life doesn't come equipped with a pause button.

Live Like You Were Dying-Tim McGraw

This video is to scenes from The Bucket List

Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.

This is the song I would choose too. An anthem to live by.

"Non, je ne regrette rien" a French song composed by Charles Dumont, with lyrics by Michel Vaucaire. The title translates as "No, I regret nothing" - often rendered simply as "No regrets".

Performance by Edith Piaf:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3Kvu6Kgp88

Translation:
Non, rien de rien
No, nothing at all

Non, je ne regrette rien
No, I don't regret anything at all

Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Neither the good that was given me

ni le mal, Tout ca m'est bien egal
Nor the evil. They are all the same


Non, rien de rien
No, nothing at all

Non, je ne regrette rien
I don't regret anything at all

C'est payez, balayez, oubliez
It's all paid for, wiped out, and forgotten

Je me fous du passee
And I don't care for what is gone by


Avec mes souvenirs
With my memories

J'ai allumai le feu
I've lit a fire

Mes chagrins, mes plaisirs
My sorrows, my pleasures

Je n'ai plus besoin d'eux
I don't need them anymore

Balayes mes amours
My romances wiped out

Avec leurs tremolos
With the tremblings they brought

Balayes pour toujours
Wiped out forever

Je repars a zero
I set out once more from zero


Non, rien de rien
No, nothing at all

Non, je ne regrette rien
I don't regret anything at all

Ni le bien qu'on m'a fait
Nor the good that was given me

ni le mal, Tout ca m'est bien egal
Nor the evil. They're all the same


Non, rien de rien
No, nothing at all

Non, je ne regrette rien
I don't regret anything at all

Car ma vie
Because my life

Car mes joies
Because my joys

Aujourd'hui
Today

Ca commence avec toi...
It all begins with you

I had to learn that damned song in sign language in Grade 3 - its still seared nto my brain, and now its playing in my head for me again -

Choice for One song - Breathless by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, prettiest love song I know of, and just so you don't think Mr. Cave and I are always precious twits - one of the funniest song ever "No Pussy Blues" also by Nick Cave with the group Grinderman
