10.theme from New York, New York – Frank Sinatra

These 10 songs are able to show many of the aspects of my life that define who I am and who I want to be. Frank Sinatra not only had a beautiful voice , but he spite to the man II want to become. There is a deep desire I have to one day be able to look back at my life and be proud of what I experienced. His song about New York is on this list because I love the city I love in. It has influence me from head to to . When I walk the streets of any of the 5 boroughs I know i am where I belong . There are a couple of love songs on this list . Love is a very important feeling in anyone’s love. It brings extreme amounts of happiness . A warm feeling that never leaves you, but it is often ignored. The Spanish songs on this list are about Latin American culture . Despite being an American, I don’t forget my roots and I understand how much my culture has shaped me. The Kanye songs were chosen because they are inspiring . They celebrate being an ambitious minority male. It speaks to the certain challenges many minority males face trying to become successful in America. All of these songs are true art . They speak to my manhood, my beliefs and my patriotism .
