The Soundtrack of My Life All my life I have grown up in the same small town, as small as a pebble. I have one sister in my family. Also, I have a best friend, and sports to keep me occupied daily. When I am not doing that, I listen to music. To me music solves my problems, calms me down, or pumps me up for the big game. The lyrics to a song can be the meaning of an event in your life. I was scared, regretful, and sad. The song that helped me trough this time in my life was “Wish You Were”, by Kate Voegele. In this song, she says, “Gone away are the golden days.” This reminds me of when my sister left for college; all the good times were gone. Ever since she started counting down the days, she has been pushing us away. As the song says, “I’ve seen your act, and I know all the facts, I still love who I wish you were. It ain’t hard to see, who you are underneath.” This means to me that, I have seen how much she lies about how she really feels, but I still lover her, because I know who she really is and her act will not erase the memories. In the lyrics it repeats, “I Wish You Were Here." I with the person that made me laugh on the worst of days, and held me when I cried was here. In conclusion, “I don’t want to keep believing in illusions.” “It’s like a storm that cuts a path, it breaks your will, and it feels like that.” Those words come from Rascal Flatts, “I Won’t Let Go.” Therese lyrics relate to me, because all my elementary years I have never had a best friend, only a bunch of guys and a few fake friends. My first day of eighth grade, I found my best friend. She had the same interests, the same attitude, and was in the same position. I have known her for a little over a year now, and she knows me better than anyone. We have become so close that her family is like my second family. Like the song says, “you think you’re lost but you’re not lost on you own.” She will “stand by me, and help me through.” With my sister gone at college it is hard to get through, but with a friend like her I know I will always have someone to talk to. Live Savers has changed my life. The retreat has really opened my eyes. It taught me not only how to listen, but how by judging or discriminating is only making that person mask how they are truly feeling. Though this retreat was very emotional, I wanted to be there. Also, it taught me that every teen is in the same position, just trying to find their way. The song I picked is “Why,” by Rascal Flatts. I picked this song because it shares the suicide part of the retreat. The song states, “I hear a mockingbird sing, this old world, ain’t that bad a place. Oh, why? There’s no comprehending, and who am I, to try to judge or explain? Oh, but I do have one burning question, who told you life wasn’t worth fight? They were wrong, they lied, and now you’re gone, and we cried.” This part of the song meant the most to me because life throws you crazy things twenty-four-seven, but you have to remember after the dark road, comes all of the good times. By what people may say, doesn’t matter because it is what you feel is right about you. There will always be someone out there for you to talk to. So, “don’t walk away in the middle of your song, your absolutely beautiful song.” This essay has reminded me of all the important events. By having a sister in college, it reminds you of all of the good times. You just have to remember, plain and simply, it will not ever be the same, and that’s why “I wish she were here.” With a friend like mine, I know she will always “stand by me, and help me through, someone to dry my eyes.” Although Life Savers was emotional, I learned that “this old world ain’t that bad a place.” In conclusion, the lyrics to these songs helped me understand and relate to the more important things that have happened in my life.
