Music plays a vital role in most of our lives. It is everywhere. I want to hear the ONE song that is you. The song that whenever it is heard, you smile. I am not looking for the soundtrack of your life, just that one song. Your friends hear it and think of you. You can post the video, the lyrics, the wav file. However you want to post it is great.
I had a rather hard time with this assignment. I love music, and I have lots of favorite songs. What I feel describes me changes so much depending on the twists and turns of life, but this is a song that all of my friends would probably say reminds them of me. It's from my very favorite movie, and it's the song I typically find myself belting out in the shower when I'm trying to be all dramatic. It reminds me of my amazing friend who I lost 2 years ago. Miss you, Tonya.
Crank up the volume, enjoy, belt it out, and then head over to Ooh, a shiny pen for the list of other participants.

I can't hear this one without crying. Wonderful song choice Megan!
Bette Midler, you just can't get any better than Bette Midler. Oh what a song. Makes me cry every time I hear it. But in a good way :o)
I am in floods the minute I hear the opening bars of this song. A fantastic song.
i cant listen to this song. i had a kid i had a total crush on in my jr high class (he died in 7th grade) whom he and his brother, this was their song for each other because the brother was older and a sports hero, and the younger had a heart defect... and had surgeries and all that, so they were both in each other's shadows at some points. my hubby sings the line of, 'did you know that you're my hero' to me from time to time, but it just makes me sad...
This obviously evokes a lot of emotion for many people. It is a beautiful, song and I love it.
Megnificent choice.
I always get teary when I hear that song.

Oh my you should have given a tissue alert! Marvelous song and the shower is definately a great place to sing this one...
Oh I love this song. Loved the movie too. Wow, it's a tear jerker. Whew! Thanks.
Ah Bette! She's the best! Great song choice!
This is a beautiful song. Unfortunately my highschool graduating class was forced to sing it instead of the song we really wanted and it will be forever tainted by that memory. (It would be for you, too, if you had heard us sing it.) I'm glad you have good memories of your friend recalled when you hear it.
It always brings me to tears.
This song also always makes me cry. Just the open bars makes me emotional. This is going to be a 3 handkerchief day. Thanks

OK, that is another all time favorite song of mine. I love Bette!! Beaches is a fave movie of mine too! I cry every time I hear this one. I stopped it 4 seconds in. Lovely choice!
There are certain songs that allow for inspiration and remembrance, and those are the ones you cherish the most and that is why memories never die. NLM

Sorry I didn't get here yesterday, Meg. Great choice for a song and a great tribute to Tanya.
When I think of you, though, I think of sunshiny songs.
I had to stop it as soon as I heard the first note so I wouldn't turn into a crying mess...that song makes me cry EVERY TIME I hear it. Also reminds me of an old friend.
Great choice.
This song always makes me feel a little sad. I loved that film though. Fabulous.
