Yourself In Five Songs

Recommended Posts

I thought the "Yourself In Five Pictures" idea was pretty neat so I thought that I would put out something a little different. Pick five songs that best describe you. Now, they may not be your five favorite songs (I know that if my five favorite songs described me I would be in confession right now...), but five songs that may relate to your personaliity, something you've learned in life, or a time in your life. Just list them, in no particular order, with the song title and artist name (that way if we haven't heard of it we can look it up...) Some of mine are a little obscure, but I think that each one speaks about a little different part of me.

1. Refractor - Circle of Dust
2. It Can't Rain All the Time - Bloodlined Calligraphy
3. Stolen Away on 55th & 3rd - Dave Matthews Band
4. Need - Grammatrain
5. Personal Jesus - (Pick any artist that has done this song, but some favorites are Depeche Mode, Gravity Kills, and Johnny Cash)

Oh wow I [i]love[/i] this thread. Great idea!

This would be my life and what I want to live up to, on shuffle.

-"You" by Switchfoot
-"On Fire" by Switchfoot
-"Learning to Breathe" by Switchfoot
-"I Need You"by Relient K
-"Surrender" by BarlowGirl

That was hard. I had long list, and narrowing it down to five was not easy. ^_^

Anyone who uses this song as a key song to describe themselves is automatically one of the coolest people alive...

- "Learning to Live" - Dream Theater
- "Gibberish" - Spock's Beard
- "Touched" - Vast
- "Strati Part 1" - Stemage
- "White and Nerdy" - Wierd Al

Not necessarily my favorite songs. Plenty of music I like that don't define me, like "Schism" by Tool and "Your Blackest Eyes" by Porcupine Tree. A runner-up was "Birdhouse in Your Soul" by They Might Be Giants. I don't know why.
