Inspirational Music

[Theophilus]

Music can have such a great influence on people, taking them to the highest highs and the lowest of lows.

What songs move you and give you hope? And why do which ever songs you pick affect you so?

For me, right now, Tom Petty's "Running Down a Dream" describes me pretty well. For me, finishing my college career means the end of my Wal-Mart career (hopefully). The world is open to me, with the only limits before me being whatever I put in the way. The future, and the opportunities it brings, is like a dream, one that I'm chasing.




It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin
The trees went by, me and del were singin
Little runaway, I was flyin

Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
Im runnin down a dream

I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sun shine

Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
Im runnin down a dream

I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
Theres something good waitin down this road
Im pickin up whatever is mine

Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
Im runnin down a dream

I always found that Hurt by Nine Inch Nails sums up the way I think of myself in relation to others. Really pretty song, and heartbreaking to hear live.

Also Two Days in February by the Goo Goo Dolls got me through a hard time, and made me put things in perspective when things were going badly.
