Finding the Soundtrack of Our Life

A person’s own song is sung as a welcome when he or she was born, as comfort when the person is ill, as a gift when that person marries, and as affirmation when he or she dies.

Oct. 29, 2015 - PRLog -- In other parts of the world, particularly in Africa, there is a belief that all of us are created with our own song. As part of the tradition, the person and his or her song are honored by singing it in different phases of his or her life. A person’s own song is sung as a welcome when he or she was born, as comfort when the person is ill, as a gift when that person marries, and as affirmation when he or she dies. Not all of us know our song. In fact, the majority of us don’t even care.

However, if you want to come up with a song that reflects your life, then you can do any of these.

1) Search for it

Online, there are many song archives where you can discover your own song from. You may search for it using the lyrics, if you have a copy of it, the name of the singer, the time it was released, etc. If you don’t have any song in mind, you may search songs based on its meaning. For instance, you may search for inspirational songs about oneself, survival, overcoming a challenge and so on.

2) Listen to it

Since we are talking about songs, what better way to discover your own song than listening to the radio, right? Listen to the top songs of the week, for example. Surely, you’ll chance upon that song and make it the soundtrack of your life. Anyhow, those songs that make it to the charts are usually emotionally driven and tell a story or have a central theme and meaning.

3) Ask others about it

Perhaps, some of your friends already have their own song. You may ask them if they know of any other song that fit your life. If you want, you may also use a friend’s song to be your own song.

4) Compose it

If you are a born lyricist, then by all means, create your own song. With this, you’d come up with a song that’s truly you and no one else have that song, just you. Sometimes, it is much better this way because nobody else knows yourself and what you went through than you.

A song is really an expression. Sometimes, we are so engrossed with what’s happening in our lives we wanted to say it through a song. And that song, ladies and gentlemen, is our life’s song, capturing the very essence of our existence expressed lyrically.
