I think my theme song is "The Rainbow Connection" as performed by The Carpenters. (You can hear their version here; pay no attention to the video.)
- Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard
and answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors?
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.

Wow! You read Gaiman too. Is there anything you don't read?
Not only do I read Gaiman, I love Gaiman. Love Neverwhere and American Gods and Smoke and Mirrors (especially "Cold Colors.") And am incredibly pleased that Stardust has been turned into a movie because his work will reach a wider audience this way.
What don't I read? Things I do not find interesting. :-)
Shoshana has that theme song in green
My kind of question.
"All Along the Watchtower" - Bob Dylan
>>insrumental - theme from "The Godfather"
Makes me think of the Muppet Movie. :)
The theme song of my life? Hmmm, I'll have to think on that one and get back to you. I'd like to give a well-thought-out answer rather than what first comes to mind.
My Theme Music I think would be the soundtrack from the movie version of the Secret Garden and/or Gifts From Heaven by Shoshana. Both are beautiful piano music.
On the surface my inner spirit's theme is the instrumental from "St. Elmo's Fire" and Bryan Adams "Summer of '69". In the category of Mussar Haskel of my life: "High Hopes" by Frank Sinatra. The theme songs of my challenges are Billy's "I Go to Extremes" and "Pressure."
The theme of my Avodas Hashem:
Ata Kadosh by Adi Ran. For me, never ceases to inspire and speak to me.
when i took it upon myself to assign theme songs to my graduating classmates, a number of them decided mine would be something along the lines of "You Drive Me Crazy" (Britney Spears), "It's My Life" (Bon Jovi), or "Unwritten" (Natasha Bedingfield). mostly unoriginal, i'm afraid. personally i'd prefer something with a bit more presence, like william tell or the music that accompanies unexpected lightning in horror movies.
beauty, that song... i also cherish 'the rose', by bette midler
and yes, gaiman rocks, too
"Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence.
Speaking of Gaiman, have you read Good Omens? I just started it and it's really good, so far. Highly recommended, plus I've heard awesome things about it.
And I shall return a bit later with my theme song, if I can discover it.
I didn't think good omens was as good as some of his others. (Maybe because it was done with Pratchett.) I personally prefer Neverwhere.
Neverwhere definitely rocks. It was my first Gaiman book. I like it because it has a certain flow that Good Omens lacks. Good Omens is sort of jumpy all over the place. It's a completely different style, but still fun. American Gods was good, too, but I never finished it. I think it got a little too dark and gory for me, I dunno.
