Today's Health Activist's Writer's Challenge is to write our own theme song.
"Theme song. Imagine your health focus or blog is getting its own theme song. What would the lyrics be? What type of music would it be played to?"
Since I'm not singer/songwriter, let's just find a theme song that fits my personality :)
Let me think about the criteria first -
1) I'd like it to be upbeat - Although I love a slow song, instead of being so serious, I'd like it to be fun and have a lot of energy
2) It has to have a positive message.
So let's see.....
I started looking at songs by the Judds because I'm really into the Judds right now, but as much as I love them, they don't necessarily have the "theme" I'm looking for. I also tried to find something by Randy Travis, but can't seem to find that either
BUT I FINALLY FOUND THE SONG!!!
drum roll please....
"Unwritten"
source
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

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

Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten
Oh, yeah, yeah
I just feel like it sends a message that we should be ourselves and make our own decisions without influence from others because it's about all perception. What one person perceives as bad may be great for someone else!
So that's my theme song. Love it!
If I were going to have another song that had nothing to do with anything, I would do
Grandpa, Tell me bout the good ole days by the Judds - just because I love hearing about stories from older people about times in the past :)
What would be your theme song?
