1. "Bittersweet Symphony" - The Verve
“Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life. Try to make ends meet, you're a slave to money then you die. I'm a million different people from one day to the next. I can’t change.”
2. "Wonderwall" - Oasis
“Because maybe you’re gonna be the one who saves me… and after all, you’re my wonderwall.”
3. "Iris" - The Goo Goo Dolls
“And I don’t want the world to see me ‘cause I don’t think they’d understand… when everything’s made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.”
4. "I Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing" - Aerosmith
“Cause even when I dream of you, the sweetest dream would never do.. I’d still miss you baby, and I don’t wanna miss a thing.”
5. "Let Her Cry" - Hootie and the Blowfish
“Let her cry if the tears fall down like rain, let her sing it it eases all her pain. Let her go, let her walk right out on me, and if the sun comes up tomorrow… let her be.”
6. "What's Up" - 4 Non Blondes
"And so I wake in the morning, and I step outside, and I take a deep breath, and I get real high, and I scream from the top of my lungs... what's going on?"
7. "Runaway Train" - Soul Asylum
"Runaway train, never goin' back. Wrong way on a one-way track, seems like I should be getting somewhere... Somehow I'm neither here nor there."
8. "In Bloom" - Nirvana
"We can have some more, nature is a whore. Bruises on the fruit, tender age in bloom. He's the one who likes all our pretty songs, and he likes to sing along, and he likes to shoot his gun... but he don't know what it means."
9. "Ironic" - Alanis Morissette
"It's like rain on your wedding day. It's a free ride when you've already paid. It's the good advice that you just didn't take. Who would've thought, it figures."
10. "No Rain" - Blind Melon
"I just want someone to say to me I'll always be there when you wake. You know I'd like to keep my cheeks dry today... so stay with me and I'll have it made."
So there you have it folks. All the black and white videos your heart can handle, along with the dramatic lyrics that spoke to your childhood/teenage angst. From theme songs of your favorite '90s flicks to lead singers you swore you would marry, or at least songs you vowed to have played on your wedding day.
