The Soundtrack of My Life

               If my life was a movie, the 5 songs that would make up my soundtrack are Jesus Take The Wheel- Carrie Underwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lydBPm2KRaU&ob=av3n, Make it Through the Rain- Mariah Carey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8KsWiLPdCs, Angel's Cry- Mariah Carey and Neyo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyGNfbKkMVE&ob=av3e, Ambitious Girl- Wale http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcUIv8Y_eIM and The Graduation Song (Friends Forever)- Vitamin C http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HDM3eYp4KQ. 
               'Jesus Take the Wheel' is a very inspirational song by Carrie Underwood about "letting go and letting God." She basically tells a story about how a woman and her daughter driving almost crash, but instead are salvaged by God. She realizes at that moment that she needs Him and is asking for Jesus to take control of her downhill spiraling life, something she cannot do on her own. Although it didn't take a near-death experience like this to lead me to request the same of Jesus, I have been in the same position as the woman in question and can relate my life to it in many ways. 
               'Make it Through the Rain' is a very inspirational song that I run to when times are hard. Mariah Carey has a way of wording her lyrics to make it feel as if she's gone through the same hardships and pains as her fans and can relate to them on the most personal levels. This song in a nutshell is saying that although times may get rough, be strong and you can always make it past them. 
               My third song is 'Angels Cry.' This song is about about how a couple that was perfect for each other split. From the first time I heard it, I was reminded of my parents and their divorce. This has had a huge affect on me so it would be a major contribution to my soundtrack. 
                'Ambitious Girl' is a song by Wale about a girl who would rather chase dreams than men. I like Wale's music because he is more of a poet than anything and this song in particular describes the ambition, determination and desire for success in my personality. 
                Lastly, 'The Graduation Song' is about moving on to bigger things after graduating. It's lyrics represent all of the amazing memories I've made with friends that are more like family now, and the good times that are still to come.
