Eagles or solo songs that are good for associating then with a moment in your life.

[AlreadyGone95]

Over the next week, I have to come up with " A Soundtrack of My Life". I have to choose 8 songs to describe very brief, but important moments in my life. I want to include at least one Eagle or solo song. I've thought of Wasted Time and Busy Being Fabulous, but I don't think that those are the best to use I can use WT if need be. I'm wondering if anyone else can think other Eagles' songs I can possibly use.

It's your life (to coin a phrase). Surely only you would know which songs are most appropriate?

The Long Run, for an upbeat turn to the theme?
Desperado, for a description of character?

Do you really relate to Wasted Time? You're too young for the crushing weight of regret. Save it for the midlife crisis

Take It Easy is a great, positive song. I have a tendency to overthink things so the title is a good mantra for me, as is the reminder to lighten up while I still can.

I'm tryng to get ideas for songs to possibly use in general. You're right that only I choose what songs are the best to use, but the 2 that I have thought of so far just aren't what I need.( I would have a hard time making the paragraph(s) I need long enough.) I'm hoping that someone may suggest one that I can work with.

Yes, I can, though not in love sense the song portrays. When I dropped out of high school, for about a year, I thought that I had wasted time in a sense to work as hard as I did (honor roll student), but fail in the end.

I could make TIE work better for a recent event, and it's a more positive choice. I have 3 songs chosen so far( I need 4 for a rough draft due Tuesday morning). 2 involve sad or negative moments. And the other is positive.

[FWIW]

Maybe "Livin' Right" could be appropriate, for example if you made some positive changes after dropping out of high school.

Inspired by Richard Bienstock's wonderful Joe Walsh - My Life In 15 Songs article in Rolling Stone magazine, http://www.rollingstone.com/music/li...songs-20160519 I started compiling the 15 Walsh tracks that meant most to me.

I had to abort and rethink as it was turning into a book.
I could never pick the tracks retrospectively. I went through Joe's catalog and made a note of what thoughts and memories each track stirred.

For example, Hole In The World always makes me think of the funeral of a much loved relative, Summer 2003, even though I always knew it was about 9/11.

OT: oh my goodness, I didn't know Joe was in the Blues Brothers. I'll have to watch it again and look out for him.

I work in education. Taking a year out can often be a very good thing, as you'll mostly likely have come back with a more mature attitude. And, it also may make a difference that you're where you are by choice, rather than just having drifted along on autopilot.
