Have you ever noticed how a specific song will immediately take you back to the 1st time you heard it? Or remind you of a concert or a specific person? I was thinking of that the other day, in relation to how many special people we've lost this past year. David Bowie, Gord Downie & David Cassidy, to mention just a few.
One of the sad facts of growing older is that we lose more people, friends, acquaintances, family, favourite actors or musicians.
Do you have a song that personifies you, or perhaps different ones from different times in your life? Here's mine, the soundtrack of my life, so far:
"Who I am" by Jessica Andrews https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSA-rjH-1Xo
EDIT> An interesting coincidence, my paternal grandmother's name was Rose.
#2 would have to be Valdy's Landscapes (I spend part of my teen years living on the Island):

#3 I was just recently introduced to this song, but it definitely reminds me of me in my late teens:

#4 would probably be Orianthi's "according to you": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pu1aQvm5MrU
#5 is Phil Oakley's Together in electric dreams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE1lzqJCeJ0
#6 would be John Parr's St. Elmo's fire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSsanVx6Tjg
#7 would have to be Madonna's "I'll remember" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubTtANekn4g
"Today" by Joshua Radin, was the song I had played when my husband & I got married in Las Vegas in January 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpdZa_Cam9k
I came across this video not long after I binge watched all 7 seasons of the West Wing, this song so reminds me of my wonderful husband: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AvCKMuet6pA&t=1s
EDIT> July 15, 2020 update: Okay, I recently came across 2 new songs (new to me, anyway) that I totally love, they are now a part of my life playlist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_uM0nZRt7E&t=1s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvSzjPee89w&list=PLCAKB2kFnBEvpsZMJmQ8V818yiPsU-oUB&index=299&t=0s I first heard this version of this song, on the season finale of 9-1-1. Totally awesome!!
What songs speak to your heart? What songs personify "YOU"?
