And so I face the final curtain.
My friend, Ill say it clear,
Ill state my case, of which Im certain.
Ive lived a life thats full.
Ive traveled each and evry highway;
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.
Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.
Ive loved, Ive laughed and cried.
Ive had my fill; my share of losing.
And now, as tears subside,
I find it all so amusing.
To think I did all that;
And may I say - not in a shy way,
No, oh no not me,
I did it my way.
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught.
To say the things he truly feels;
And not the words of one who kneels.
The record shows I took the blows -
And did it my way!

Bottom-Line:
For me it is all about the lyrics. I love a song that has a meaning that touches my soul and speaks to me. Songs have a way of saying what we can't say in person sometimes and we all know that when a song that speaks to us is on it is a very emotional thing.....
I like songs that are unique, emotional, creative, thought-provoking, require skill to play, sound awesome (I usually like heavier stuff) and discuss a topic of importance. Not just love, relationships, breakups and anger. Songs that have true value and meaning. Songs played by people who actually have talent and are intelligent.
And that why I like "MY WAY" by Frank Sinatra..
