My entry for the contest.

I first liked this song even before I was able to speak English. Since I like Rock, something about the music pulled me in. When I grew older, immigrated to an English-speaking country, learned how to speak it, and had a chance to listen to the song again, I loved the lyrics even more.

They spoke to me. They made me feel alive.

This is Bon Jovi's It's My Life.

Enjoy

@Gabe_Luca85 what an excellent song choice Gabe. Thanks for sharing a little back story about the connection you have with the song.
Good luck, my friend in the contest.

@Gabe_Luca85 Hey Gabe, I also really loved this song, unfortunately it came out when I was 18 and a god-awful teenager who felt particularly oppressed by his mother (I wasn't!) And made the mistake of turning the volume on my hifi very loud when my poor mother was in the middle of a well deserved tongue lashing, whilst this song was playing in the background! (Timed perfectly on "it's my life!") I have never before or since then seen her as angry as that moment (we are very close now!) 😂

@cryptodanger love it! 😁
I'm in the same boat when it comes to mom. I need to talk to my therapist about it 🤔
