I love music and I am particularly interested in movie soundtracks, in fact I would love to have the job of creating soundtracks. I decided to create my own soundtrack for 2010. The songs I chose were not all released in 2010, but some were rediscovered / or newly discovered for me this past year! These are just songs that remind me of 2010.
I had two life changing events this past year, first I celebrated my 50th birthday, I know that may not seem life changing, but it really affected me. And I know everyone says age is just a state of mind, and I get that but it still freaked me out nonetheless. I feel like I just turned 30, how can I be 50 already? That's the scary part, how time just keeps flying by, and I just want the world to stop just for a moment!

So, if that wasn't enough of a change for me, I lost my job after17.5 years due to this messed up economy. Many of the songs I chose to reflect my year spark a theme of lamenting but also of change and hope. What would your soundtrack be for 2010?
