IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...
Opening Credits:
Jack's Mannequin: The Mixed Tape
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of
Apparently I'm angsty about something.
Waking Up:
Burning Farm (Eragon soundtrack)
Not quite sure what this one means, other than I feel that waking up is fraught with danger. Danger to the alarm clock!
First Day At School:
Cave Dance (Tuck Everlasting soundtrack)
Also not sure what to think about this one, other than school was exciting. When I was good at it, I mean.
Falling In Love:
I Will Get There (Boyz II Men, Prince of Egypt soundtrack)
Well, the night is cold and dark
But somewhere the sun is shining
And I'll feel it shine on me
I'll keep on tryin', I'll keep on tryin'
I will get there (I will get there)
I will get there somehow
One day, I will find him. I'll get there.
Fight Song:
The Walk, Imogen Heap
No response on any level, red alert this vessel's under siege,
Total overload, systems down, they've got control,
There's no way out, we are surrounded,
Give in, give in and relish every minute of it
I'm going to suffer, but I'm going to be happy about it...(two points for those of you who get the reference)
Breaking Up:
The Long Way Around, Dixie Chicks
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself
But I, I could never follow
No I, I could never follow
Well, I never seem to do it like anybody else
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
If you ever want to find me I can still be found
Taking the long way
I'm just taking a long time to get around to finding a replacement. Where did all the cute ones go? And who's going to go on a road trip with me so I can find some cute out-of-towner? Sigh.
Prom:
Pig, Dave Matthews Band
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Oh, so don't burn the day away
Don't burn the day away
Grab life by the horns, is that it? My prom wasn't that exciting.
Life is Good:
When it Goes Down, Something Corporate
You know what I mean
When I say that I come from a place that hurts
You fit in my scene
And try to make everything work
You watch me turn green
I come down, yeah but I might never land
You said you'd understand
But you don't want to be there
When it goes down again
Again with the suffering. Perhaps life is not good.
Mental Breakdown:
Look Where We Are Now, Teddy Geiger
You say games are much more fun
I'd rather play than get things done
But look where we are now
Look where we are now
You say life happens too fast
I'd rather play and make it last
But look where we are now
Look at all the time I spent reading when I should have been doing something else...
Driving:
Belief, John Mayer
Everyone believes
In how they think it ought to be
Everyone believes
And they're not going easily
I would have this song on my playlist, of course, but it's not exactly belt-able...
Flashback:
With Great Power (Choir), Immediate Music
Apparently things in my past are deserving of sweeping orchestral music vaguely reminiscent of the Spider-man soundtrack.
Getting Back Together:
Same in Any Lingo (instrumental), Nancy Wilson, Elizabethtown soundtrack
We're all speaking the same language. Now throw me on that couch, luv.
Wedding:
Clarity, John Mayer
So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How bout you
I can see clearly now, the rain is gone...hopefully the rest of the song isn't indicative of how the romance will turn out...
Paying the Dues:
This is Your Life, Switchfoot
yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead
yesterday is a promise that you've broken
don't close your eyes, don't close your eyes
this is your life and today is all you've got now
yeah, and today is all you'll ever have
don't close your eyes
No day but today.
The Night Before The War:
Someday, All-4-One, The Hunchback of Notre Dame soundtrack
Someday, life will be fairer,
Need will be rarer,
And greed will not pay.
Godspeed this bright millennium,
On its way, let it come someday.
Someday, our fight will be won and,
We'll stand in the sun in,
That bright afternoon....
'Til then, on days when the sun,
Is gone, we'll hang on,
If we wish upon the moon.
I will make it through, and it will be better.
Final Battle:
Chosen (long version), Robert Duncan, from the series finale of Buffy
Because my life is perilous and vampires and demons will come to the fight. But all will be inspired by...
Moment of Triumph:
What Wondrous Love Is This, Jars of Clay
And when from death I’m free I’ll sing on I’ll sing on
And when from death I’m free I’ll sing on
And when from death I’m free I’ll sing and joyful be
And through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on
And through eternity I’ll sing on
Hah! I get to live forever!
Death Scene:
Minstrel Boy, Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros, Black Hawk Down soundtrack
The minstrel boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he hath girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him;
"Land of Song!" cried the warrior bard,
(Should) "Tho' all the world betrays thee,
One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee!"
The Minstrel fell! But the foeman's steel
Could not bring that proud soul under;
The harp he lov'd ne'er spoke again,
For he tore its chords asunder;
And said "No chains shall sully thee,
Thou soul of love and brav'ry!
Thy songs were made for the pure and free
They shall never sound in slavery!
Couldn't ask for a better song.
Funeral Song:
Undercover, Pete Yorn, Spider-man soundtrack
And you held and you tried
I could never find another
If you walk me to the car park
I won't go
And we held and we tried
There was heart and lust between us
I will love you
I won't let go
There must have been something else I should have done...
End Credits:
Full of Grace, Sarah McLachlan
I’m pulled down by the undertow,
I never thought I could feel so low,
And oh darkness I feel like letting go.
If all of the strength and all of the courage,
Come and lift me from this place,
I know I could love you much better than this,
Full of grace.
I know I can love you much better than this,
It’s better this way.
I can only hope the end is graceful. Doubt that there would be any tricks for the audience. I'm pretty straightforward.
I'm pretty surprised. Things worked out rather coherently. Somewhat mournful, though. I hope I'm happier than that. What do you think?
