What's on YOUR iPod?

Despite what it may seem like, I was working on this post long before Pam posted her iPod list. I promise!

I'm taking it a step further. It's not just what's on my iPod....it's WHY it's on there. I couldn't list everything on there (over 2,500 songs and an entire season of CSI among other things). But I can tell you a few of the 48 songs on my "Current Favorites" list, and why they are on there. With music--it's about a catchphrase. It's usually one verse, one chorus, one theme that grabs me. Here are a few:

"No one else can speak the words on your lips
....live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins, the rest is still unwritten"
-Unwritten, Natasha Bedingfield
------------------
"We've got to hold on to what we got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We got each other and that's a lot"
-Livin' on a Prayer, Bon Jovi
------------------------
"If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"
-Chasing Cars, Snow Patrol
-------------------------
Every line in the song "Rockstar" by Nickelback. I would have to type the whole song out....it's hilarious! "I'll have the quesadillas"
---------------------
"Welcome to wherever you are--this is your life, you've made it this far.
Welcome, you gotta believe--that right here, right now you're exactly where you're supposed to be"
-Welcome to Wherever You Are, Bon Jovi
The whole song is good....especially for those of us lost and confused about our place in life!
------------------
"Cause it's frightening to be swimming in this strange sea, but I'd rather be here than on land"
-Out of My League, Stephen Speaks
-----------------
"Hey there, Delilah, what's it like in New York City?
You're a thousand miles away, but, girl, tonight you look so pretty yes you do;
Times Square can't shine as bright as you"
-Hey There Delilah, Plain White Tees
------------------
"You're the swimming pool on an August day, you're the perfect thing to say"
-Everything, Michael Buble
---------------
"There are two roads to walk down and one road to choose"
-Thinking Over, Dana Glover
--------------
"If I could escape and recreate a place that's my own world"
-Sweet Escape, Gwen Stefani
--------------
"I wanna feel something sweeter than this sin
.....I've been everybody else, now I want to be something closer to myself"
-Closer to Myself, Kendall Payne
---------------
"You're still the one that makes me laugh, still the one that's my better half"
-Still the One, Orleans
-------------
"Watching all my dreams come true, lost in this moment with you"
-Lost in the Moment, Big and Rich
-------------
"[I hope] you find God's grace in every mistake, and always give more than you take"
-My Wish, Rascal Flatts
------------
"So you wanna change the world--what are you waiting for?"
-What Are You Waiting For, Natalie Grant
-------------------
"We see everything that's going wrong with the world and those who lead it,
We just feel like we don't have the means to rise above and beat it"
-Waiting on the World to Change, John Mayer
----------------
"When push comes to shove, you taste what you're made of;
You might bend 'til you break, cause it's all you can take;
On your knees you look up, decide you've had enough;
You get mad, you get strong, wipe your hands, shake it off--then you stand"
-Stand, Rascal Flatts
--------------
"I wanna be the hand that lifts your veil"
-Your Everything, Keith Urban
(I still think this is the romantic verse of any song I've ever heard--it's why I wore a veil over my face on my wedding day. So John could lift it.)
--------------
"Every day I find another reason, every season we go through,
Every little thing you do--that's when I love you"
-That's When I Love You, Phil Vassar
-------------
"I'm losing you and it's effortless"
-Over My Head, The Fray
--------------
"Take all your big plans and break them, this is bound to be a while"
-Your Body is a Wonderland, John Mayer
--------------
"I'm not sure why I called, I guess I really just wanted to talk to you"
-I'd Really Love to See You Tonight, England Dan and John Ford Coley
-----------
"So when I make a big mistake, when I fall flat on my face, I know I'll be all right"
-Who I Am, Jessica Andrews
-----------
"Myself and I--we've got some straightening out to do"
-Big Girls Don't Cry, Fergie
----------
"Another aero-plane, another sunny place--I'm lucky, I know.
But I wanna go Home"
-Home, Michael Buble
(my theme song, lately!)
------------
"There were hard times I know I survived, just because you stayed by my side"
-I Will Be There For You, Jessica Andrews

Anyway...there ya go. I'd recommend any and all, and more. I have a GREAT Current Faves list, and a GREAT workout list.

When I pick a song, I just like to think about WHY I picked it. What's on your iPod? Better yet....why is it on there?
