Top 10 Songs that Describe You Best

For me it's a balance between lyrics and music. I mean, some song lyrics describe me better but I don't like the music and I can't say they describe me in the best way.

But you can add any songs that describe you best - either their lyrics or music, or both.

The Top Ten

1 It's My Life - Bon Jovi

This song best describes my best friend, Karen, who died before she even reached 18.
"It's my life and it's now or never. I ain't gonna live forever. I just wanna live while I'm alive..."
She was reckless, fearless, beautiful, exciting, strong-minded and always smiling. I play this song so loudly every anniversary of her death. My best friend and the song which describes her so perfectly.
I still love you, Karen.

One of the biggest 2000s rebellion songs and also one of the most badass modern rock songs by a classic artist.

I wish it was my life because everybody else is living it.

2 Wherever I May Roam - Metallica

Call me what you will
But I'll take my time anywhere
I'm free to speak my mind anywhere

3 Path of Glory - Demons & Wizards

4 Highway Star - Deep Purple

I love speed, including fast songs which is one of the reasons I adore metal music.
"Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound"

5 We Can Work It Out - The Beatles

I'm generally speaking someone who can accept differences and try to get along with everybody, or simply try to avoid conflict.

6 Keep the Faith - Bon Jovi

This is actually on my list of songs that describe me because I tend to "keep the faith."

7 My Way - Frank Sinatra

I don't go with the crowd often, if at all. I do it my way, whatever "it" may be.

8 The Bard's Song (In the Forest) - Blind Guardian

"In my thoughts and in my dreams
They're always in my mind
These songs of hobbits, dwarfs and men
And elves
Come close your eyes
You can see them too"
I would say this because Blind Guardian songs take me to another place and their songs are in my thoughts.

9 Rising Force - Yngwie

Thunder and sparks in the heart of the dark
I hear a rising force.
Searching my soul I find something else
I take my life in my hands
From the gates of Heaven to the altars of Hell
The power is at my command

10 Learning How to Fall - Jon Bon Jovi

You could say I've been doing this since I was four.

The Contenders

11 I'm with You - Bon Jovi

The same basic reason for submitting "We Can Work It Out." I'm with you. I don't know an enemy. I dislike people, but that's different from being enemies.

12 Nothing Else Matters - Metallica

This is a love song, it's about the power of love. James Hetfield wrote the song while he was on the phone with his then girlfriend. The lyrics, which talk about being "so close, no matter how far" indicate the bond they shared even when Hetfield was on tour.

Yeah I heard it.the opening acoustic guitar riff were played by him mistakenly when he was on phone.

13 Don't Stop Believin' - Journey

I love the message of this song. "Don't stop believing..." I haven't yet...

I love this song

14 Heaven and Hell - Black Sabbath

"The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night"

15 Yesterday - The Beatles

Another song that describes me. Not that things happened the same way for me, but I definitely said something wrong and long for yesterday. (Yesteryear, if I'm being honest)

16 High Hopes - Pink Floyd
