Someone recently asked me, “What is the one song out there that describes exactly who you are?”
I was with a couple of other people and the three of them instantly could pick out that one song that describes exactly who they are as people.
I was stumped. At first I though maybe Paul Simon’s “You Can Call Me Al.” But I realized that is just a song that makes me incredibly happy and put me in a dancing mood, no matter where I am or who is watching.
But I kept thinking about it, and later in the night, when I was laying in bed (I do my best thinking right before I fall asleep at night), It came to me.
This, my friends, is The Song That Best Describes Who I Am As A Person.
Enjoy!
How I relate to the song:
-the upbeat, catchy rhythm that makes me want to, at the very least, sway my shoulders a bit speaks to my overall personality and attitude towards life.
-the thought behind the song that you should “give a little bit of your life” and love to and from other people resembes my general outlook on humanity, that we should share what we have, and take care of the people around us (also why I am a social worker and probably too nice to people a lot of the time).
-the lyrics “see the man with the lonely eyes, take his hand, you’ll be surprised” bring up one of the biggest lessons I have learned throughout my entire life – never assume you know what is going on behind closed doors.
-it brings me back to one of my fondest memories – driving in the car one summer on my way home from work at our family’s golf course, it was one of the best summers of my life and it was a perfect day and I was driving with Micaela home from work, and that song came on the radio and I just rocked out to it while driving through the country with the sun shining on my face.
Now I am posing this question back to you: What is the song that describes who you are as a person?

OK
Hey Jude – The Beatles
I identify with this song because I feel like its very optimistic, which I am most of the time (especially to other people)
It says don’t be afraid, you were made to go out and get her. I often give advice like this, be spontaneous, don’t think too hard about decisions.
And it is the best song to sing LOUD with a whole bunch of people, because EVERYONE know NA NA NA NANANANA, NANANANA, Hey Jude! LOL

As lame as it sounds, Don’t Stop Believin’ by Journey is the one that gets me the most excited, and this was even before Journey started having their “moment”. I’m a small town girl! I love the message of the song, be positive, keep believing
I sing it super loud every time I hear it and also sometimes sporadically at the office. It makes me happy every time.

I was going to say “Dont Stop Believin’” too. But I’ll pick another one. I’ve always identified with “My Way” by Frank Sinatra because I think it fits me pretty well. I can always rock out to “Small Town” by John Mellencamp too. Such great songs!
The Good Stuff – Kenny Chesney
It gets me every single time. The whole life that’s described in the song is the life I want to live. I can totally picture Matt and I as the couple in the song. I’m a mess wheneve r I hear it!
LEAH!!! Such a hard one!!
I think i have a bunch of songs, but I think one of ‘em would be “Who I am” by Jessica Andrews. but I do know for sure what song best describes me and my mum together.. hahah
“26 Cents” by the Wilkinsons.
and my song to my boys, “I hope you dance” by Lee Ann Womack
I’ve been trying to think of my song since last night and I can’t come up with one…but I’m going to keep thinking about it.
