Star Wars Theme By John Williams **HIGHEST QUALITY!!**

The Star Wars theme song is one of the most recognisable theme songs ever. I have liked Star Wars ever since I was a little kid. I have watched all 6 movies multiple times and have seen all the Clone Wars and I used to be a huge fan of Star Wars Lego. I have spent hundreds of dollars over the past few years on Lego and now that I do not use it any more it is sitting in my cupboard, but I don't want to throw it away because it reminds me of my youth.  Star Wars has been a big part of me growing up and is Awesome.





There are no lyrics to this song.

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe

I chose this song because it is another rule I live by.  I believe that we should live life while we are young because when we get older life it becomes ten times as hard and complicated with life commitments. I think we should live life while we can because you never know what might be around the next corner.






Here is a link to the lyrics:

Sister Sledge - We Are Family

We are family is the ultimate family song that everyone, no matter from what generation sing. I included a family song because family is the most important thing in everyone's life. I love my family more than anything and would do anything for them.

The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother (Lyrics)

I chose the song He ain't heavy, he's my brother because without my brother here I really miss him a lot. Since he has moved to America I rarely see and talk to him and I never know what is happening in his life whereas when he lived with us I always knew what he was doing and who his friends were. I feel like the only son in the family because he is never with us and when he is it is for a very short time. I miss him and can not wait to see him this summer.

Casting Crowns Praise You In The Storm

Since I am Catholic I have decided to put in a religious song. I had been to a Catholic schools before I can here and have always gone to church and religious ceremonies. Casting crowns are a religious pop band that plays really nice music. We used to listen to this at my old school and dance to it. Being a Christian has been a major part of my life because of all the religious  ceremonies like Baptism, Confirmation and Reconciliation they we have attended and celebrated.

Despicable Me 2 - Banana and Potato Song

I chose this song as a fun little song because it reminds me of the children in my family. I imagine the two boring ones at the front as my big brother and biggest sister, the one who sings potato is my sister Bella and I am  the annoying small one who gets knocked out. We are planning to re-enact this during the summer when my brother comes back to Vietnam, the four of us love to re-enact songs, we even call ourselves "The Indian Curry".  We even performed a song in Hoi An last Christmas at a dinner we attended.



Here are the lyrics:
BA BA BA BABANANA BA BA BA BABANANA NA NA NA AHH POTATO NA AH AH BANANA AH AH TO GA LI NO PO TA TO NI GA NI BA LO BA NI KA NO JI GA~ BA BA BA BABANANA. YO PLANO HU LA PA NO NO TU MA BANANA LIKE A NUPI TALAMO BANANA BA BA POTATO HO HOOOOOO TO GA LI NO PO TA TO NI GA NI BA LO BA NI KA NO JI GA BA BA BA BABANANAAAAAAAAA

World Cup 2010 - Wavin Flag- Knaan

This South African song is the official song of Fifa 2010 football. Since football is such a big part of my life I have decided to add this song. I have been playing soccer since I was about 5 years old and have played ever since. I really love the game and will play for as long as I can. This song is also really inspirational and gets me in the mood to play soccer any time.

Matchbox 20 If Your Gone

This is a song that means a lot to me for two reasons. The first one is my mum and I used to play this song everyday as we drove into out driveway in the morning after swimming training. We timed it perfectly and if we forgot to, which we rarely did, we would sit in the car waiting for the song to finish because it was routine. Every time I hear this song it reminds me of driving up our long driveway and stopping to wait for the song to finish. The second reason is when we got home my brother and I would argue everyday about the lyrics and whether it was baby or maybe. This song will forever remind me of my mother and brother.

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song [Official Video]

The lazy song by Bruno Mars is a song most teenagers can easily connect to our lives. I think most teenagers just want to sit back and do nothing all day and have a relaxating day. I  know that I would love to have a day off school where I can kick back and relax without having to worry about projects or homework. I like being relaxed and hate being stressed out.

Five For Fighting - Superman (It's Not Easy)

This song means more to me than what it seems like. My brother first showed me this song about 3 years ago and everyone in my family (even my mum) knows every lyric to this song. This song was one of the first songs my sister sang when she became a singer and my family  connects together  through this song. When ever hear it I remember my brother and my family.

Monday 19 March 2012

I chose this song cause I live by this rule. I believe that you should seize every day like there will be no tomorrow. I think that if you do not live life to the fullest than what is the point of living. You never know when you might be gone so you might as well have fun whilst you can. I also believe that sometimes you just have to forget what happened yesterday and pretend today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Australian Cricket Team - C'mon Aussie C'mon

This is the second Australian song that I am putting in this Album. This is a song about the Australian cricket team that is very famous in Australia. Every weekend during summer everyone in Australia turns their televisions on and tunes into the cricket. It is like a tradition that everyone does just because we love our cricket! I really like this song because it connects to my life really well because I love cricket like most Australians do, and many week-ends were spent playing cricket either with my friends or with my family.

DJ Khaled "Out Here Grindin" Official Video

I chose this song because it is my inspiration song. Before every soccer or basketball match or any type of sport I like to listen to this song.  I find it really inspirational and it gets me 'pumped' and in the mood to play. I found this song a long time ago after searching for pump up songs. I chose to put the clean version of this in because the other version swears quite a bit and I did not want that in here.

I am, you are, we are Australian- Bruce Woodley

I have known this song for a very long time because we always sung it at my old school. This song obviously links to my life because of course I am Australian. I really enjoy listening to this song because it brings back so many good memories and really takes me back to living in Australia. This is probably one of the most Australian songs that I know because it reminds me why being Australian is unique. It is one of two Australian Songs I have.

Bob the Builder: Intro Theme/Song

I chose the Bob the Builder Theme song because when I was younger I used to watch it everyday and I was a die hard fan. I used to call a family friend Wendy and I have always been known as the "Bob the Builder" one of the family, I even use to tell people my name was Bob.  My parents think it is funny how much I used to watch it. I love this show and I think it is really awesome and it will be an awesome memory forever.

I've Been Every Where Man- Johnny Cash

I chose this old song for two reasons.  The first reason is because I have travelled to a lot of countries and cities recently including Laos, America, Cambodia, Hawaii, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, China, Hong Kong and a lot more. I really enjoy travelling and when we travel we connect this song to our travels and try and make up our own lyrics to it. I think this song is Amazing.  I also chose this song because it reminds me of my dad because he travels a lot.
