I was browsing through YouTube as I often do when I have satisfied my daily fix of StumbleUpon when it suddenly occurred to me that I live my life as if it was a Broadway musical. I have a song for every moment of my life and for almost every person that I call “friend”. So, with the help of YouTube, I have compiled a list of six of my top friends (also known as people who have not pissed me off in the last 72 hours) and the songs that represent them. I have linked all of the titles which will take you to the corresponding YouTube video. I would love to see your list. Leave a comment and link back here.

ANDREW: “Your Song” by Elton John as performed by Heather Headley for the 2004 Kennedy Center Honors honoring Elton John because it is the truest form of love that I have every heard.”Pop Goes My Heart” and “Don’t Write Me Off Just Yet” from the Music & Lyrics soundtrack because, well, it’s self explanatory.

LORRI: “Patience” from the Dreamgirls soundtrack by Eddie Murphy et. al.,  “If I Ruled the Word” by Nas and “Tell the Truth” by Mos Def because you always me keep my socially conscious.

WILLIE: “Project Image” by Miles Long (Malcolm Jamal Warner’s band) because he let’s me know that it’s OK to redefine myself and expand my desires while staying in touch with my true nature.

MAISHA: “Got My Mojo Working” by Muddy Waters because you have skills and style that sends everyone into a frenzy.

THEMIS: “Ghetto Superstar” by Praz and Mya because she reminds me that sometimes being a bitch is all the power we have.

IZZY: “La Ve Boheme” from Rent because he reminds me that creativity must always evovle.
