I choose “Life is a Highway” by: Rascal Flats for my song selection because for so long it was mine and my ex’s song. This was our song because it was in the first movie we watched together (Cars the movie). Not only was that our song because of the movie, but of the meaning behind the music. If you have never truely listened to the lyrics of “Life is a Highway” you should take the time to. The words are very moving, and can have a different meaning to each individual. “Sometimes you bend, sometime you stand” is my favorite line/verse within the song. Most people can say that they have had a moment in their lives where they have had to make the choice to stand strong or bend in their ways.
