Soundtrack of my life

I have an ever expanding catalog of music that can be expressions of the trials and tribulations of my 29 years of life. A soundtrack that is not only narrative reactions of the various events which have occurred, but also landmarks of where my paths split onto new tracks. Music is something that speaks eloquently the emotions that I have. There, undoubtedly, are songs that change the course of your life forever. Rising to the top of my list of songs, that are currently making an impact in my life right now is, "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz. (Check out the VIDEO) I don't really know why this caught me the way it has or the true relevance it has in my life, but what it speaks to me, and what I take from it is something, for me is life changing. Beyond its pop-folk stylings and the light hearted lyrical content, I am greeted with statements that are relevant in where I am at in life, and where I want to be. The intent behind the song may be absolutely different and my view unintended, however, that is the beauty of music; subjectivity. A new life, a new world, and finally I am free to be happy. Please let me know of your stories and songs, or music that have made impacts on your life that you may have not expected. It's always strange when something strikes you that may not wouldn't normally listen to, yet impacts you in astounding fashion. Those are the most surreal realizations.
