A Soundtrack To Life
If life is like a movie, then you have to have a soundtrack, right? It wouldn't make sense for life to not have a playlist of tracks that not only help spell out your life through music, but also give a sense to others about how it felt to be in that moment (or moments). This might be a playlist, but like any great one, it won't fully encapsulate what it is that its trying to evoke in terms of emotion. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever fully capture how life is. But, you gotta give it a try, and just like life, you gotta go with the flow. So here's the playlist (in no particular order). There's a description next to the song to show what it invoked or captured in me during those specific moments and segments in time in my life. Some of these tracks don't have lyrics, as they would be included in a film soundtrack. And, some of these songs are not in English. Like in life, sometimes you don't need to fully understand or have words to really make you feel. Here's the playlist:

From the Old Days to Tomorrow. Runner-Up in Melodic Milestone Playlist Challenge.
My earliest memories of music nearly all take place in the backseat of my family's old minivan. It was pretty much the only place I could listen to music at the time. Sure, I had a CD player at home, but I didn't exactly have CDs to play in it. The radio in our car was where I got to hear all my favorites and any new songs that Radio Disney was playing. I still remember the first time I heard Taylor Swift's "Teardrops On My Guitar" on Radio Disney back in 2006 (maybe 2007, now I'm not so sure). It was in our van, of course, and then the entire week or so after, that song was all Radio Disney would play. I knew it by heart by the third go around.

If you are looking for a great time or stage time, this series is a valuable opportunity to perform, network, and build those entertainer chops.
