The Top 40 Album of My Life!


There are no and's, if's or but's about it...I am a music JUNKIE!!!!
I absolutely have to listen to music everyday, all day long or else I lose it. In fact, I am so emotionally connected to music, that I have a song for almost every circumstance...And if I can't off the top of my head think of a song to fit my mood at that moment, I search until I find one that does. ;)
YES, I KNOW I AM WEIRD, but that is just how I roll folks...so bear with me!
It occurred to me tonight that I think I should have a top 40 soundtrack for my life. You know, just like when you watch a great movie, the music always pulls you in and when you hear that song during some moment in your life later down the road, it always brings you back to that feeling you had when you originally watched that scene.
I think my soundtrack would be a complete fusion of music genres (sappy ballads/good ole rock/a little rap /smooth r&b soul /alternative angst...) Perhaps I could come up with an album that covers a song for each year of my life...hmmm
If I did, I think it would go something like this:

Interesting ebb and flow of my life to music. In the beginning it is innocent and sweet, full of zest and life. As I grow older you can see my love of music and dance evolving as the lyrics tend to feature a lot of the words "dance" or "rock and roll" in them..LOL! Suddenly the focus changes to "boys", "kissing" and then, watch out..." loss of innocence". And before you know it, my music reflects PAAARTY TIME!
Then sadly, for many years the music is reflective of being caged in, feeling sad and resonates some disparity from the loss of my sense self. (yeah I know...woe is me-ha!)
But finally once we reach current times the song is that of self confidence and optimism...Oh yeah, I am back baby!!!!!
It really is funny how music really can write our lives!

Did you do this all by yourself or did you use some sort of generator?
I love it.
If it is a generatro can you share the link with all of us.
I can't find it.

Thanks for your comments!
Yes, I did make this list myself and no I didn't use a generator.
That would have been SO much easier though ;)
I was actually asked to create a Rhapsody playlist of the mix, so when I get some time I may actually do just that.
Keep coming back, I appreciate that you stopped by!
