Going into this assignment i didn't think that it would bring about so many memories! There were so many different periods in my life and thinking of just the right songs to express those times came very easily. The first song i wanted to use to expresses a darker time in my life, a song by Evanescence called Hello. This songs describes the difficult times i went through during my parents divorce and other family turmoils.

During the next stage of my life, in my earl teens, i felt very alone and found it hard to fit in. I'm pretty sure it's a normal during that time in life to feel lonely and unsure of who you are because it is an awkward stage in life. This is a song that very much described how i was feeling during that time and it helped me get through that period.
Another song by Evanescence: Missing

I don't know what it is but their music has the ability to touch anyone who listens to it in one way or another. The lyrics are so deep and are easy to relate to especially if your in a darker place.
The next soundtrack of my life describes a much happier and lighter time for me. Things were still hard for me of course but for once in my life i was happy with who i was and much more confident. My attitude made a complete one eighty and i looked at things in a much better light! That is why chose this song to describe how i was feeling.
One Republic: Good Life

Right after this i met someone who made me feel really good about my self and became one of my first boyfriends. He was obviously no good for me but when you 16 your naive to many things and he was one of many. Anyways, the point is at that time i thought i was in love and that sparked a whole new feeling in my life, which brings us to this song:
Bruno Mars: Grenade

Obviously that relationship didn't last long which led me directly into my care free phase. All i wanted to do was socialize with multiple men and not be held back. It was all completely harmless, innocent flirting and i have to say it was fun! I grew so much and learned so much during this time in my life but i also had a blast. So to express this feeling i chose this song:
Shania Twain: I Feel Like A Woman
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7auzP9RhCY
So for the last soundtrack of my life I chose the song that i danced to at my wedding. It expresses my feelings of uncertainty of how my life is going but of my certainty of how much i loved the one person i had waited for all my life. Your early twenties is a time to find who you are and I'm still trying to figure that out but the feeling of having someone there for you no matter what, makes it that much easier. Everyone needs someone and this song says just that.
Boys Like Girls: Two is Better Than One

Thanks for letting me join you on a musical stroll through your life. I think "Two is Better Than One" is a great song to dance to at your wedding.
