For the avoidance of doubt... Yes... I definitely have an opinion... |

Prompt: Your theme song. Which songs feel like theme songs for your life? Or if you were to create a song with a message for your life, what would it say? *** Bon Jovi – It’s My Life. Hands down. I’m not sure why, but it’s the one that immediately springs to mind. Bon Jovi was my favourite band growing up – funny as I think I was about five when Slippery When Wet came out… I think they are the band that most of my friends would associate with me (at least from my school years); them and Linkin Park (college and twenties). They were the first band I went to see. Jon… was my first celebrity crush – and I stand by it because that man is still gorgeous. Interestingly enough, “It’s My Life” is also the song I jumped out of a plane to. To me the song is about being honest and true to yourself; living your very best life and leaving few regrets. I can’t think of a bigger compliment than my loved ones standing at my passing and saying “She did it her way, and by the gods what a life it was.” I like every lyric in the song and they resonate with me: I do refuse to just be one of the crowd for the sake of an easy life. I do like to have a voice and to be heard. I don’t think tomorrow is guaranteed or that opportunities will come around that often, so it’s now or never. I do think that we have to live the life we want to live… because we only get one. I truly believe we make our own luck - as much as I love supernatural fiction, I’d rebel against anyone who tried to weave my fate – it’s mine, hands off! I’ve always found this song to be really empowering. Lyrics ▼ |
