My husband is always trying to get me to go to karaoke and belt out my theme song. I’m not sure if it’s because he just wants to watch, he wants to sing, or if he wants me to get out of my comfort zone. But the fact that he keeps asking has made me think of something…
What theme song are you meant to sing?
At first you might think I mean the song you’re going to sing at karaoke. If that’s where your brain is going, go ahead and answer the question. For me, it’s always Journey’s Don’t Stop Believin’. It just fires me up, motivates me to do anything and gives me all the feels. Ever since I first heard it years ago, no matter where I am, I turn up the volume and sing. But I’m not sure if I’d call it my theme song.
If your brain didn’t go the literal route, you’re already thinking the way I want you to think. If my karaoke song is Don’t Stop Believin’, think about how it relates to life! The lyrics get under my skin so much that I am literally brought to tears. So what does it do for my heart and soul? The point I’m trying to make is, your karaoke song may just relate to life like mine does. If it does, you need to take a few minutes to analyze it.
Just to be a bit vulnerable and completely transparent, let’s analyze it. Some of the lyrics that really speak to me are:
- Just a small town girl living in a lonely world – I am a small town girl and I never really felt like I fit in, so in a sense, I was lonely.
- Living just to find emotion – As an adult, I look back and remember trying to always be perfect. It’s because I was alway trying to find love or true connection.
- Some will win, some will lose; Some were born to sing the blues – I have anxiety and used to have depression. Some days, I still feel down but don’t show it.
- Don’t stop believin’, hold onto that feeling – Once I found my passion, I didn’t want to let it go, even despite the challenges and obstacles that lie in my path.
Your favorite karaoke song really can have a stronger meaning for you. It can be the theme for your life. Don’t Stop Believin’ will be the theme for my life until the day I leave this Earth. But funny enough, I think I found another one. When I decided to update this post, I asked ChatGPT for a bit of help. I use it daily so it’s gotten to know me really well. So I asked “Based on what you know about me, what would be my theme song?” Well, it didn’t give me Don’t Stop Believin’. It gave me Unstoppable by Sia. If you have never listened to that song, do it! It goes right along side my first.
What is your karaoke song? What’s the theme song to your life? What’s the song that gives you all the feels? Even if you will never actually do karaoke, find your song, listen to it and see how it could make an impact your life.
