Content

"My List" is a song about a man who has a list of things to do each day. He does what needs to be done each day, putting off what he really would like to do — spend time with his family. Eventually, he changes his mind and decides to put his family first, stating “Start livin', that's the next thing on [his] list".

Music video

The music video was filmed shortly after the September 11 attacks. Footage of the attack is shown at the beginning of the video as a husband and his wife watch the news.

It was released in early January 2002.
