Just for fun, if you can have your own theme song like a character in a show/movie/whatever that fits your life and personality (or makes you sound cooler/more interesting than you actually are) what would it be? Or, if you are like me and you don’t think you are interesting enough to have a theme song, what theme song would you give to a character that you would create?

There is been one song I heard and fell in love with when I was 14 that I thought, “if I ever wrote a novel or made a movie/show, this would be my protagonist’s them song.” It’s “Animal I Have Become” by Three Days Grace. It is the perfect song for just about any intense internal conflict. The writer wrote it when he was addicted to pain medicine, but, I would use it in a werewolf or Jackle/Hyde context. Really, the allegorical possibilities are endless. Unfortunately (fortunately?) I don’t come with a back-story messed up enough to use that as my theme song. Pretty much all my favorite songs are too cool for my person.

Anyway, I’m curious to hear what others think would be good theme songs for themselves or a character.
 
I have 2 in mind right now…

“On Eagles Wings.”

“The Impossible Dream.”
 
Ubi Caritas Et Amor, Deus Ibi Est (I think the official title is just “Ubi Caritas.”) I could probably think of others, but that one suits me well.
 
Let’s just say the song fits as my theme.

“Take the Long Way Home”

Supertramp
Breakfast in America
 
I’m thinking Beyond the Sea as sung by Bobby Caldwell.

Or When I fall in love as sung by Nat King Cole.

🙂 This thread idea made my day.
 
Theme From Shaft, by Isaac Hayes.

Actually, it represents everything I am not (tough guy, man of action), but it would be cool to hear that tune whenever I went out. It would make whatever I’m doing sound important.

The song also kind of works with your avatar. Aragorn definitely took the long way home. 🙂
 
The Emperors Theme From Star Wars. I want that to accompany me into any room I walk into.
 
I heard this song for the first time just the other day and I’ve fallen in love with it because it describes me and my life for these past 9 years to now perfectly. It’s called “Goodbye For Now” by P.O.D…
 
“Overcomer” by Mandisa. I’ve loved this song since it came out. It reminds me to thank God for all the obstacles He’s enabled me to overcome. 👍
