The Soundtrack of your Life

The Ministry of Short Films has decided to feature your life in their next project. It won't run longer than 5 minutes and you're being tasked with selecting the one song (and one song only) to be used as the soundtrack.

The choice is entirely up to you.

What's your decision and why?

hallelujah- because it will cover the full 5 minutes and I’ve never heard a version I didn’t like. If that song isn’t played at my funeral I’m not going.

The Soundtrack of your Life

Either... depending on the mood as FTX said.

Eye of the tiger

Circle of life

The father, my son and the Holy Ghost

Gangstas paradise

Yesterday is Here by Tom Waits. This one encapsulates the highs and lows of my life, the struggle to rise, the meaninglessness of both success and failure, the beauty in the sadness.

Tough. Given how this year has been, I think I’d choose Slippin by DMX
