Well, I have two actually.  "Watershed" by the Indigo Girls, and "Closer to Fine" by the Indigo Girls.  They both seem to explain me and how I feel in some way. 

The first one because it is your decisions that make you what you are and sometimes you do come full circle to find yourself right back where you started to begin with.  Also it reminds me that I need to slow down and take a breath from time to time. 

The second one kind of reminds me that for me not picking a religion is best.  I don’t fall into the "my religion is the only religion that is right and true" scenario.  There are all kinds of different views and who am I to say who is right or wrong?  As the song says "The less I search myself for some definitive, the closer I am to fine."  And as my grandfather once said, "God is love" that is all I really need to know, I don’t need a religion to back it up.

I believe that every soul
Has a song to sing
The spirit’s locked in every man
Waiting for a wing
Oh so much is wasted
And oh so little used
The trick of the dreamer
Is keeping yourself from the blues

And I don’t mind runnin’ alone

Everyone’s a hero
If you want to be
Everyone’s a prisoner
Holding their own key
Every step I take
Every move I make
Always one step closer
I don’t mind runnin’ alone

I love music and have a lot of fave songs. Memories of doing things with my Grandpa always include the Carpenters, especially the song "Calling Occupants Of Interplanetary Craft." Memories of my Grandma include Sandi Patti songs, since she thought I sang as well as Sandi. Memories with my mom include songs by Willie Nelson and Peter, Paul, and Mary. Memories I have of hanging out with my cousin often include 10,000 Maniacs and Mary Chapin-Carpenter. I like lots of music and have theme songs for different parts of my life, but as of now my song is "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield. It reminds me to take a moment to enjoy life and really live and that I can write my own story and not let anyone else define my life or pidgeonhole me.

Billy Joel, "You’re Only Human."

Just like a boxer in a title fight
You got to walk in that ring all alone
You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes
But they’re the only thing that you can truly call your own

Don’t forget your second wind
Wait in that corner until that breeze blows in

You’ve been keeping to yourself these days
Cause you’re thinking everything’s gone wrong
Sometimes you just want to lay down and die
That emotion can be so strong
But hold on

Till that old second wind comes along…..

Such great choices by all the writers here.  I always thought "In My Life" by the Beatles was my theme song.  But, there are two more recent compositions that have defined different aspects of my life, but also my life in general — Mary Chapin-Carpenter’s "Passionate Kisses" and "Middle Ground" and a rather obscure song by Trisha Yearwood (not sure who wrote it or the title) with the lyric "Everything in moderation" as what had defined her, but also "I want to draw a line so I can blow right past…" 

Tough, very tough. A single song? "Suzanne", by Leonard Cohen. I knew that song was about me the very first time I heard it. And "Wish You Were Here"…Pink Floyd. If you listen to the lyrics to those two songs, I would think you would know everything you’d need to know about me. 

And the album "The Wall", again Pink Floyd. Most of the folks I know say, well, it’s depressing, the guy’s crazy, he’s a Nazi, he’s a jerk. They like it, because they think it’s cool, images of twisted sex, and drugs, and marching hammers. Many people I know have never listened to the album, or watched the movie, come to that, unless they were seriously stoned so that they could could understand them. I’ve never listened to the music or viewed the film unless I was totally straight. It’s about the downward spiral into madness, about despair, loss, agonizing loneliness, the inability to accept love, anomie, and, finally, annihilation. I am forever grateful that I never fell quite as far as that, and I listen to "The Wall" when I am depressed as proof that I’ve never gotten quite that bad. It is incredibly moving and poignant to me.

I’m listening to my Zune, trying to think of just one song.  It’s difficult.  And low and behold one of my favorite songs comes on, as if it knew.  "Don’t Stop Believin".  This has been ONE of MY songs since it first came out and NO one sings it better than Steve Perry. A close second is "Makin It" by David Naughton, an ole disco tune from 1979.  Life hasn’t been easy and this song just lets me know.

I’m Makin It, I’ve got the chance and I’m takin it, no more faking it……………..this time in life………………I’m makin it.  Listen everyone here….this coming year is my year and I’m taking it.
