Theme Song

So I am really into music. Not in the snobby way, I am not a band snob but in the I like it on all the time kind of way.  I like all kinds - Classic Rock, Country, New Age, New Wave, Pop, some Rap, some Hard rock, Classical, I can go on with more but you get my point.  If you have ever been lucky enough for me to make you a mix CD you may understand the way I put it all together.  It has to flow, It has to mean something, it has to evoke an emotion.  I LOVE soundtracks because they tell a story of the emotional stuff that can't always be expresses with words.  So being this uber music lover I started to make a cancer list.  Songs that make me feel happy and strong.  I have a nice list started but It needs a lead track - a theme song.  I have come up with "All Fired Up" by Pat Benatar.  Its got great crescendos that make me smile & feel feisty.  Read the lyrics, or listen to it on you tube and let me know what you think, or provide me with suggestions.


Livin' with my eyes closed, goin' day to day
I never knew the difference, I never cared either way
Lookin' for a reason, searchin' for a sign
Reachin' out with both hands, I gotta feel the kick inside

Ain't nobody livin', in a perfect world
Everybody's out there, cryin' to be heard
Now I got a new fire, burnin' in my eyes
Lightin' up the darkness, movin' like a meteorite

Now I believe there comes a time
When everything just falls in line
We live an' learn from our mistakes
The deepest cuts are healed by faith

It may seems silly to come up with a theme song for cancer, or make a soundtrack for it.  This is me this an its just the way I roll =)  

I am 33 I have cancer and it needs a theme song.

Live is fragile - Say your I Love You's

  1. I think we might have belted this song out at the top of our lungs during a 'trip or 2' to Kansas. I love this song also. Very empowering. <3
