(Updated with links for songs...)
I will probably try to add links later. No guarantees...
Nina Simone. Lupe Fiasco. Kanye West. Groove Armada. Nickelback. Ghostface Killah. All musicians. And they come from different genres. So what do they all have in common? Well beyond the fact that they combine to take up a healthy chunk of space on my hard drive, they all have songs that I related to heavily at certain points in my life. (I can already hear you saying, Ghostface Killah? Yep, Ghostface Killah.) I have a saying that I use all the time. It falls along the lines that my life could be set to a soundtrack (or used as a script for a soap). Problem is that I never have defined that soundtrack (and I am damn sure not writing a script). Well, I have finally decided to try and fix that little issue. I have taken the last decade of my life, and split it up into 3 separate eras, and listed the songs that remind me most of what I was going through at the point in time. These are not necessarily songs that were popular at the point in time. So you may find that a song that came out last year is filed under a time period much earlier. Some songs also have more meaning than others. This list is in no way meant to be comprehensive. (Hell, I had enough trouble narrowing it down to this). But I think in this little sample, I managed to capture the essence of my experiences in song. So without further ado, the soundtrack of a soul reasoner:
