Runn79r, I was reading your post in Flight's thread, and you mentioned the song "Could Have Been Me" by the Struts. Thanks for posting this great anthem about:

- living the highs and lows of life: "I wanna taste love and pain, Wanna feel pride and shame"
- living life fully, without regrets, from now on: "Never look back and say could have been me"
- fulfilling our destiny: "Don't wanna live as an unsung melody"

There is also a smattering of specific DB advice - "I can't hear you" (spew jackets on!), "I don't fear you" (link: The star is inside of YOU!)

"Could Have Been Me" by the Struts (partial lyrics)

Don't wanna live as an untold story
Rather go out in a blaze of glory
I can't hear you, I don't fear you
I'll live now cause the bad die last
Dodging bullets with your broken past
I can't hear you, I don't fear you now

Wrapped in your regret
What a waste of blood and sweat
Oh oh oh

I wanna taste love and pain
Wanna feel pride and shame
I don't wanna take my time
Don't wanna waste one line
I wanna live better days
Never look back and say
Could have been me
It could have been me
Yeah

Don't wanna live as an unsung melody
I'd rather listen to the silence telling me
I can't hear you, I won't fear you
Don't wanna wake up on monday morning
The thought of work's getting my skin crawling
I can't fear you, I don't hear you now

I think every DBer should play this on their morning alarm clock. Perhaps I will.

Anyone have any other suggestions? I am always interested in new songs.
