What song sounds most like you?
So if you could open your heart and let people listen in, with words and music....what song would be you???
Some people might say what does your soul sound like, but I prefer to call it my essence, because I don't so much think about a soul per se....
And if you don't think you can come up with just one, please just post some of your favorites!!
This should be fun, and maybe hard, but here it goes for me....

Well, all time would have to be Jeff Buckley's rendition of "Hallelujah."
Recently though, the hopeless romantic in me has come through. I'm a songwriter myself, and actually my favorite song as of late is one I wrote. I don't have a recording of it on my computer, but I'll post the lyrics(which are copyrighted, just in case you godless heathens were thinking of trying something. haha). It's called "Love Letters Aren't Enough" and deals with fear of rejection–a big problem of mine in my younger days. So long ago. All 5 years(just turned 20).
Well my juliet she waits for me
But my eyes are blind
I cannot see the way that she looks at me all the time
My mind is stuck on poetry
To hopefully, potentially catch her eye
And bring her home with me
Well im blinded by love
And I cannot see
That love is right in front of me
Open your eyes
And let love in
Just take a gamble
go all in
Because in the end
The dreams that haunt us
Are the love we never had
Don’t catch your breath
Don’t take a break
All you want is there to take
You’ve go to know
If you’re in love
Love letters aren’t enough
The days pass by like a summer breeze
This song is just hypocrisy
From a man who cannot follow his own words
I’ve got to find a way for me
To break free from this tragedy
And steal the heart of the woman that I love
Open your eyes...
So here we are
Just you and me
We’re in love so endlessly
We’ve got to run
Make a break for something more
As I run my fingers through your hair
I finally know that you were there
Through all my troubles and my strife
And for the rest of my life
The curse is gone
The spell, it breaks
My heart, forever yours to take
In the end, I saw the light
Now that we’re here it feels so right
All the love ive missed through all these years
The sleepless nights
The endless tears
Have finally brought me home to you
So open your eyes..

Hey Nick!! Thanks for sharing your lyrics! They really are beautiful and make a lot of sense! I am also a singer. Mostly blues and rock. Maybe one of these days I'll let someone make a vid of me singing and post it. I know I have a powerful voice, but I have always been painfully shy, and don't like attention. It was the same way with my piano playing. I love music so much! I know I am good at it as well, but it's just putting it out there....I hate attention...unless I have had a few beers...then a little attention is ok....hehehehe

NICE!!!! Beethoven is one of my favorite classical composers! Fur Elise is the first song I ever played on the piano. Something about that tune! My mom used to teach piano in our home, and when I was little I would hide in the music room and listen to the students. When lessons were over my mom would let me play on the piano while she made dinner. I picked out Fur Elise by ear when I was 4 years old. My mom was shocked that I not only picked out the entire piece, but that I had done in the right key. Moonlight Sonata is probably my favorite piano piece by him. I don't think anyone could capture raw human emotion in their music quite the way Beethoven did.
Later on, after I had honed my piano skills, Mozart became a favorite. His piano pieces are particularly technical, and I enjoyed the challenge of learning the scale runs in his pieces. These guys were the rock stars of their day. Great choice Robert!!!

The Ninth is GREAT ... but the Seventh gets under my skin, especially the second movement. It doesn't get the press that the Ninth does ... but it SHOULD!

There are so many different kinds of muic that I love; everything from Jimmy Buffett to "Swan Lake," to jazz, so I can't pick just one.
But the first thing that came to mind when I read the title of this discussion was "Ding! Dong! The Witch is Dead!" from "The Wizard of Oz." Long story behind that...when I was in Holiday, one year our biggest production number was a musical skating version of the MGM movie, and that song just cracked me up. {shrugs}

ContinueNathan Young That's true Jonathan Brown. At one time I was a member of the MRA board when it was more open towards hearing an orthodox Mormon views on things. Since that time the MRA is now under the stewardship of a new 'religion' the 'Society for Humanistic Mormonism' which is merely another apostate religion. It will fail just like all other apostate forms of Mormonism have failed including might I add the Mormon "Transhumanist" Association and their kind, and all the front…

Hello fellow atheists! I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims. I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor.
I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists". I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…
