Your Personal Anthem

I was contemplating a couple of things, and I wanted to know:

Do you have a Song, a Personal Anthem, that represents you in the best way???

If it plays on the radio or on your Ipod, etc., you feel better and refreshed?

What song is it?

Anything Johnny Cash. but if I had to pick one song I guess it would be "One Piece at a Time"

Money By Pink Floyd

But anything Floyd works for me.

There are actually quite a few songs that make me feel better or refreshed or just happier in general...

But I gotta say, the one song that I have always, always, always gone back to as my theme song is "Praise Chorus" by Jimmy Eat World. The music is upbeat and gets me moving, and the lyrics are awesome!

"Are you gonna live you life standing in the back, looking around?
Are you gonna waste your time,
Gotta make a move,
Or you'll miss out.

Someone's gonna ask you what it's all about.
Whatcha gonna have to say for yourself?"

There are many, but probably the best is 'Bittersweet Symphony' by the Verve

not really a song more like a line, of a song

"Im just Drinkin, Smokin Straight West-Coastin" - Sums it alll up!

I've Got Rights - Hank Williams Jr. :bow:

That's how we SHOULD serve our justice! :gj::salute:

Usually the hard partyin' lyrics of one Mr. Kid Rock do it for me.
"Midnight Train to Memphis" is the one!

2 songs for me actually.

"Tomorrow" by Sixx A.M.
With Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue.

And if you like a little more dark music. A darn good one is "Bittersweet" by Apocalyptica featuring Ville Valo from H.I.M.

Anything by the Black Keys

Anything H.I.M will do it for me. Especially Soul on Fire

LIfe is Beautiful by Sixx am, Nikki Sixx.

Probably for the very same reasons the song even exists! Very refreshing when you know you aren't the only one who has survived an addiction, and see life in a whole new light.

Awesome!:gj:

How bout you ~Erik Church

Gotta give it up for Hank Jr tho. A little "Country Boy Can Survive" keeps me from going insane in California.

And what the hell, R Kelly... Feelin' on yo booty, LOL

anything by the Bee Gees
or
Shipping Up to Boston by the Dropkick Murphys

I wouldn't cal it my theme song, but is it wierd that Ravel's Bolero always makes me smile.

Theme "band"? Definately Smashing Pumpkins!

Schizophrenic Conversations by Staind

"Schizophrenic conversations that I'm always having with myself
I hear these
Voices in my head competing, maybe I could use a little help
I still have
Schizophrenic conversations when there's no one else around to hear
I long for
Solitude and peace within me, void of all the anger and the fear"

I dunno if i should really share this but... Buckcherry's Crazy B**** always puts a smile on my face... haha!

Nice.. I love smashing pumpkins! Another "theme band" for me is Kings of Leon... them and the Black Keys are my 2 favorites.... oh yea and I really love Steve Miller Band. Great music.

uggh that nikki sixx song is pure trash, sounds like two cats fighting in an alley, better one would be "she talks to angels"by the black crows, great song, as for me to get me going, any OLD metallica, battery, etc that's where it's at, new metallica sucks

Yes, a great song.

For me, I have such a strangely varied taste in music that my favorite song/anthem changes by the day. I have a personal anthem for nearly every genre of music. I will list a few:

I Don't Want To Be - Davin DeGraw
Castway - Benassi Brothers
All The Same - Sick Puppies
American Honky Tonk Bar Association - Garth Brooks
Cello Suite No 1 - Johann Sebastian Bach

etc.. :D

Someone was reading my mind!! I love anything Johnny Cash:)

I love Johnny Cash, but One Piece at a Time? Cash didn't even write it. His ability to tell a story was amazing, but if I had to pick a song he didn't write I'd have to go with Highwayman by Kris Kristofferson. :gj: The Highwaymen rock.

Mine changes all the time, there's so many songs and artists I adore! But off the top of my head, or at least at this very moment...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czWqL96yWuo

Mine changes all the time too..... But an all time fav that always make me "move" is TUSK- Fleetwood Mac.....

This might sound ridiculous. I am a die-hard metal fan and my favorite band is Type O Negative. I Love classic rock too. but..
When I am feeling down, I pop in Hall and Oates. I canNot not laugh and be cheered up hearing them! It sounds stupid, and it is, but it is true and there, I admitted it.

Anything Poets of the Fall.

Poets of the Fall - Lift
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB1QkirsCpA

Poets of the Fall - Carnival of Rust
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRVrQsdWDds

Shock The Monkey- Peter Gabriel

Nena-99 Luft Balons, Rusted Root-Free my Soul are my 2 all time favorite songs.

Closely followed by any ACDC, TMbG and any other Rusted Root song.

Ok, anyone laughs and I'll hunt you down. For me, it's John Denver.

I was named after one of his songs, my father used to sing them for me all the time, and I've developed my voice and love of singing through his music. He was almost a mentor... My two favorite songs that really lift me up are 'The Garden Song' and 'Calypso'. Also special to me is 'For You', which I have "given" to my boyfriend and sing for him often.

Otherwise, since I love almost all music, it depends on my mood. Metallica and Sisters of Mercy for a metal mood, Weird Al all the way for silly stuff, Mozart for classical, and almost any Irish folk songs. :)

Best song that represents me, etc: Korn- Freak on a Leash
Anything to pick me up, and cheer me up?...
Anything Korn or Slipknot, but Wait and bleed helps.

Lips of an Angel by Hinder

Wide Open Spaces by the Dixie Chicks.

It really depends on the mood but I have to agree with
All the same -Sick puppies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpzkHhgcZG4
Never knew - The Rocket Summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkrRb7iobeo

Oldies
Comfortably numb - pink floyd
Sanitarium- Metallica
Life by the drop- Stevie Ray Vaughn
Wonderful - Everclear

Van Halen D.O.A.
