Easy, Breezy, Beautiful, Colored World I'm In Love With You

Do you believe you have a theme song? You know. The one that plays in the background as you go about your everyday life (ala every chick sitcom ever made). You spin around, throw your hat in the air, smell flowers, throw a ball to the dog, toss your hair back and laugh. And in the background, your soundtrack plays. Is it slow, classical, fast, bouncy, fun, sad? My song is the one I believe is perfect, at least for me. Every part, describes me. The playful, and yet heavy, guitar work. The complicated, but catchy, beat. The lyrics, so simple but they shine with truth. Then there's the fact that some of my favorite musicians perform it (shut up, I'll NEVER stop being a fan girl). Anyway, the dichotomy that is me, responds to this piece and I see it as a mirror of myself.  Maybe this song was written especially for someone else. Perhaps it was just a collaboration between some talented people with no real meaning at all. I just know that since the day I got it, it became mine.  When you see me, you’ll know it’s playing in me.  My theme song.
Think about it, what song plays in your head all the time? What song have you made your own???
