Name a song that eerily describes an episode from your own life.



For me, it’s “Sweet Dreams Are Made of This” by Eurythmics, 1983. Its lyrics mirrored my experiences going overseas aboard ship and landing in various foreign countries. See the highlighted portions below:

Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world and the seven seas,
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you

Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas

Everybody's looking for something
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up
Keep your head up, movin' on
Hold your head up, movin' on
Keep your head up, movin' on
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you
Some of them want to abuse you
Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something
Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I travel the world
And the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something

    The Tom Petty song; 'Even the Losers Get Lucky Sometimes'. That is my anthem.
