Do any of you remember that show Ally McBeal? Do you remember the episode in which she discovered she had a theme song--her own personal theme song?
I loved that episode and it sent me on a quest for my own theme song.
Since then, I've had many theme songs, depending on what was going on in my life. Sometimes I don't have one, but when I hear a song I resonate with I'll say, "Yeah! That's right, baby!" and voila, a new theme song is born.
That happened the other day. I actually think I've heard this song before and had the same reaction, only this time I remembered to, well, remember it!
Unwritten
by Natasha Bedingfield
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, oh, oh
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
(Esmee Denters singing - I thinks she's awesome!)
This is my theme song right now, not only for the writing symbology (which is obvious), but because it says that I am the only one who is me, the only one who can sing the song created for me, write the story in my head, live the life I was sent here to lead. I shouldn't try to live anyone else's life but my own. I am me, and I am the best ME ever made.
So, how about you? Do you have a theme song? If not ... maybe you ought to go out and get yourself one!
Let me know what one you choose!
