One of the ways I identify myself is through music. I am ALWAYS listening to music and I associate certain events and feelings with certain songs. So here is what I guess would be the soundtrack to my life, with a little caption by each one as a sort of narration. Click on the song title for lyrics.

WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME by Leah Andreone
All right, just read this song and you'll see a lot of who I am and how I feel. She might as well have written it about me.

IRIS by the Goo Goo Dolls
This was my and Adam's song while we were together. Being in a long distance relationship and everything, the lyrics were PERFECT for our love. It pinpoints exactly how our love was. I can especially relate to the second verse. (You can't fight the tears that aren't coming...)

BABYS BLACK BALLOON by the Goo Goo Dolls
I had the whole scene in my movie planned out where this song would be playing in the background. There was a night in December where we had a huge crisis in my family and I called Adam hysterically and he helped me through it over the phone, and I think these lyrics really fit. It was a horrible time, one of the worst nights in my life, but now that I look back on it, the love that I felt from Adam that very night is a really special memory.

FALLS APART by Sugar Ray
This might as well be about me after Adam broke up with me.

ANGEL by Sarah Mclachlan
This song is about my family, especially the first verse.

THEN THE MORNING COMES by Smash Mouth
This one's my and Brandi's song. It's SO about us, just crashing through life and plowing through all the shit that life throws at us but still managing to somehow have a good time.

STRONG ENOUGH by Cher
This is the only song on the face of the earth that I can honestly say has kept me sane for a period of time. After I broke up with my boyfriend Mike, I listened to this song 24/7.

WINTER by Tori Amos
This song has always kind of culminated all the good feelings that I had about dating Mike. It reminds me of him because while I was dating him I was having a self-esteem crisis, and he used to ask me why I couldn't understand that I was loveable and beautiful and special. So I guess especially the chorus of "Winter" kind of warms the cockles of my heart.

CHINA by Tori Amos
Reminds me of all the times people have said I push them away when they're trying to get close to me.
