Soundtrack to my life

Just wondering how many think of this. If there was a soundtrack that by listening to it everyone would recognize it as your life, yes including you, what would it be? Sometimes I think a chunk of mine would just be the sound of a broken record and then sometimes stuck repeating the same old track.

Sometimes the same old track is not so bad if it makes you feel invincible. You have to give me something right, let me feel invincible. Always? But we all know it all does not always go according to plan. Like Alanis Morissette - Ironic, I love that song. The trick is to keep thinking, 'It can't get any worse than this.' You never know it just might work.

I am looking to go outside the box with the music I listen to. To broaden my musical palate. I am great Golden Oldies fan. A bit of the blues, jazz, a little rock n roll and other not so new stuff now. I have learned that not everyone knows The King and just because someone says they like a particular song it does not mean they actually know the words to it let alone what it means.

Kids these days what are listening to? I am not as old as you are probably thinking right now. I guess the music I listen to is greatly influenced by my childhood. Now I am on a quest to expand my music horizons but that does not mean I loose my taste. I will appreciate the music for what it is. I appreciate good music and even more when it has a meaning I can relate.

I could just Google or Youtube music all day long but that wont really work. One I'd use up my internet credit, two there is really nothing to stop me staying in my comfort zone, discovering another jazz sax player. So I figured I would challenge myself to be more aware when I am out and about. There is always music playing I have no idea about around.

A good excuse to round up all the French restaurants to see if they all play the same music. No? Who knows I might add some to my very own life soundtrack. What song have you listened to and liked that surprises even yourself?
