Great idea for a thread.. Very challenging. Brought back both negative and positive emotions.

Birth
From the Beginning-ELP: Very emotional song for me. Very humbling and heavenly.

Childhood
Hockey Night In Canada Theme song: Hockey was a very big part of my life and still is to a lesser degree. Every Saturday night in Canada the CBC would broadcast an NHL hockey game. To this day it still gives me goose bumps. Many people said I could of made it to the big league. I don't know about that.

Primary School
Hellraiser-Sweet: I was a little shit disturber in elementary school. I was standing out in the hall half the time.

High School
Xanadu-Rush: Me and two buddies went on a camping trip in my friends beater, A Datsun 1000 when we were 16. It rained the first night and we got soaked in the tent and were up at first light and walked down to the lake hung over and cold and smoked a fatty. The sun popped over the mountain cascading brilliant rays of sunlight on the misty, dead calm lake. Majestic! My one buddy transformed from a teenager to a man on that trip.

Falling In Love
You're All I Got Tonight-The Cars: This girl in grade 8 had a crush on me. She was pretty. I didn't pursue her. After the summer break and coming back to grade 9, I couldn't believe my eyes. She was absolutely stunning. Tall, fantastic figure and big ****. This was everything I fanatsized about. I finally got the nerve to ask her out. We hooked up at her parents place as they weren't home. The Cars s/t album was played most of the night. We went out for five years and actually got engaged when we were 17. Young and stupid. She eventually meet a navy man and got married and moved. They moved backed and I hadn't seen her for 7 years. We ran into each other at a night club. Oh yea, it was still there.

First Time I Got Into Big Trouble
Firehouse-Kiss: This is going back all the way to grade 4. Me and a buddy had made an undergroung fort in a restricted military area that was basically a forest. We made a fire and put it out to go home for lunch. A 1/2 hour later I heard the firehouse sirens going off. Oh no. I walked down the street and around the corner and saw the fire trucks. I turned around and ran like hell. The fire chief chased after me and caught me and dragged me back to the scene. My buddy was balling. I was terrified. The chief gave us a lecture and sent us home.

First Time I Got High
Hand of Doom-Black Sabbath: I was 12 years old when I first smoked pot. I wish I would of known where this would of led me.

College
Dreams I'll Never See-Molly Hatchet: I attended college for two years and then had plans to transfer to university to become a recording engineer. I came to realise that I couldn't sit in a room and push buttons being an outdoor type of guy. At times, as I'm older now, working out in the rain I wish I was in that room.

Peak of my Life
Nature's Way-Spirit: I own an half acre of land 100 miles north from where I live located on a creek and a five minute walk from the beach. I left my job of 18 years and took an $8/hr. pay cut to live up there. Being an avid fly fisher there is so many more oppurtunities and closer approximities to pursue my passion. Before work, after work and weekends. Very seldom, at times I could here the creek running, the waves crashing on the beach, and the leaves quaking on the trees in the wind. This is the best music I've ever heard. SERENITY. Unfortunately the job didn't work out. Though it was only for eight months I can say it was the happiest time in my life. That was eight years ago and I don't see myself living up there in the near future. One day.

Finding a Job
Blitzkrieg-Metallica: Although I had worked since I was 10 years old(paper route, weekend job) it was when I was 20 years old that I began my trade of horticulture. I worked for a big German(6'6" and 250lbs.) at a 20 acre nursery. Man oh man, did I learn how to work. "Get 'er done". We became very close over the 18 years I worked there. Blood, sweat and tears.

Getting Married
Make It with You-Bread: Never been married though I have been engaged twice. The last time was seven years ago. It never worked out but it was not with out trying. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. I've been a best man twice and that's probably the closest I'm going to get.

Starting a Family
Fell On Black Days-Soundgarden: Never had kids. Jeezuz, I couldn't even look after myself, let alone children In my late 20's most of my buddies were starting families. For me, I fell into the depths of addiction for five years. A reign in terror. To this day I still ask myself, "What in the hell happened?" No longer a victim. That was my fate. So be it. I believe I've become a better person by going through that experience

Getting Old
The Revealing Science of God-Yes: I'm not a religious man though I believe in GOD (good orderly direction). I do see the benefits not only for myself, but for others as well. Still, lots of work to do.

Death
Stars Die-Porcupine Tree: Acceptance.

I love the way everyone is thinking about their life in songs....really cool stuff.

Death on Credit has added "credits" to his soundtrack....awesome!

Yeah, I forgot to put up credits in, I'm glad DoC remembered to put it in.
And yeah, it's nice to see emotional connection with some song and certain period of life
