If you could create a soundtrack of your life, you'd probably have happy music, sad music, and music for every mood in between. Though a song can't make the pain of a breakup go away, it sure can help lift your spirits, or allow you to give into your blues, if that's the path you want to take. As part of my Best of 2008 coverage, I asked you to tell me your favorite breakup song of the year, so I'm back to round up my favorites that I found helpful, too.

Sometimes, if it's been a particularly rough day or you're just in a funk, blasting a great tune and singing at the top of your lungs can really relieve the tension. So roll up your windows, turn on your iPod, and just let it all out! Here are 10 of my favorite songs to sing at the top of my lungs:

"Buddy Holly" — Weezer
"Semi-Charmed Life" — Third Eye Blind

When it comes to my singing, I've got a couple of fans. My son and daughter don't mind that my vocals are off tune, in fact, my tunes help them sleep. If your tot has trouble transitioning from bathtub to bedtime, try breaking out in song.

It may sound cheesy and cliché, but music can be really moving and meaningful. That’s why people shell out tons for a concert ticket and couple’s love to embrace a particular song and call it their own. And the song that represents a couple is often not a love song, but something more quirky, a song that symbolizes a particular time or feeling.

Jay-Z fans, take heart: You'll have plenty to hold you over until the November release of Jay's new album, which is inspired by the upcoming movie American Gangster.
Yesterday, Fader debuted a new song from the project called "Roc Boys (and the Winner Is)," which you can listen to online. I don't love it as much as "Blue Magic," maybe becaause the brass-laden beats sound like something recycled off of Kingdom Come.

George Michael sang "I Want Your Sex," Marvin Gaye sang "Let's Get It On," and Color Me Badd sang "I Wanna Sex You Up," all cutting straight to the point! We all have our favorite song lyrics and those songs that would be on the soundtrack of our life, but ladies, do tell, what song gets you in the mood?

I usually listen to my iPod to get pumped up for a run, but sometimes I don't feel like huffing and puffing and getting all sweaty. Plus it takes a lot of energy to fully exert my body like that, so when my energy is low, I like to take my time and go for a nice long walk along the water. Not only is it great exercise, but it gives me a chance to be alone with my thoughts and really appreciate the gorgeous surroundings.
