I’ve often found the words of songs meaningful at certain times in my life. We’ve all had the song we heard when we first fell in love and then came the break-up song! Then there are the wedding songs, the party songs, those songs who remind us of loved ones, the holiday songs! The list could possibly be even longer!
I know for me music has played a big part, I was always listening to music and singing in front of the mirror hairbrush in hand! Over the years my musical taste has become even more diverse and eclectic! My friends once described my musical taste as being like a diamond, multifaceted.
It’s got me to thinking about songs that describe me and my life!
There are a few songs that spring to mind but ‘This is my life by Dame Shirley Bassey’ describes my life over the last seventeen years following my divorce. The road hasn’t been easy but then the best things in life seldom are. Imagine that an easy life? I can now look back and be proud of where I’ve come and what I’ve achieved.
‘This is my life’ Dame Shirley Bassey
Funny how a lonely day, can make a person say, what good is my life
Funny how a breaking heart, can make me start to say, what good is my life
Funny how I often seem, to think I’ll find never another dream in my life
Till I look around and see, this great big world is part of me and my life
This is my life today, tomorrow, love will come and find me but that’s the way that I was born to be this is me, this is me
This is my life and I don’t give a damn for lost emotions I’ve such a lot of love I’ve got to give let me live, let me live!
Sometime when I feel afraid, I think of what a mess I’ve made of my life
Crying over my mistakes, forgetting all the breaks I’ve had in my life
I was put on earth to be, a part of this great world is me and my life
Guess I’ll just add up the score, and count the things I’m grateful for in my life
This Is my life today, tomorrow, love will come and find me but that’s the way that I was born to be this is me, this is me
This is my life and I don’t give a damn for lost emotions I’ve such a lot of love I’ve got to give let me live, let me live!
Who knows where the road ahead will lead, who can tell but no matter what, I’m giving it 100% because no matter what, This is my life !
