Songs of Your Life What Story Do they Tell?

Have you done Karaoke before? I have come to the conclusion that we can express our lives through the songs we grew up with. Here are mine. They make up my life experiences, inner turmoil and basic philosophy.

Some of these songs we discovered later in life. Somehow my 25 year self and my 50 year old self have a different list.
