Soundtrack to Life (Because this was fun.)

I told someone once that if I could have any super power I'd have the power to have music follow me around everywhere I went, like a movie soundtrack. So when I saw this I knew I'd have to give it a try.

Here's how it works: Just put your itunes on shuffle and fill in the songs that come up. It's pretty fun, especially for those of us that love to procrastinate.

So here are my results:

1. Opening Credits: Stolen by Dashboard Confessional

"And from the ballroom floor we are in celebration"

2. Waking Up: Santa Monica by Bedouin Soundclash

" You use to say that you want a revolution"

3. First Day At School: Could We by Cat Power

“Have a talk alone in the afternoon”

4.Falling In Love: Brightly Wound by Eisley

“It’s happening all the time, when I open my eyes. I’m still taken by surprise.”

5.Fight Song: Lonelily by Damien Rice

“You let me down, it’s no use deceiving”

6.Breaking up: The One You Knew by Joshua Radin

“I'm leaving but don't worry I'll be back again.”

7. Prom: Your Nervous Heart by Rhett Miller

“Maybe you went running as the sky just sort of fell”

8. Life: From the Inside Out by Hillsong United

“A thousand times I've failed still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again I'm caught in Your grace.

9. Mental Breakdown: Sons and Daughters by The Decemberists

“We'll leave our tracks untraceable now”

10. Driving: Orphan Girl by Gillian Welch

“I am an orphan on God's highway but I'll share my troubles if you go my way

11. Flashback: Here It Is by Over the Rhine

“I cried when I wrote this, I’ll always remember”

12. Getting back together: Beneath the Balcony by Iron and Wine

“Let’s go out and dance, darling, the last of our days.”

13. Wedding: Etcetera Whatever by Over the Rhine

“I will stumble there with you and you'll be laughing close with me, trying not to make a scene.”

14. Birth of Child : What A Wonderful World by Innocence Mission

“I hear babies crying, I watch them grow. They'll learn much more than I'll ever know”

15. Final Battle: Waiting for My Real Life to Begin by Colin Hay

“On a clear day, I can see, see a very long way.”

16. Funeral Song: Closer by Joshua Radin

“walk me down your broken line, all you have to do is cry” 

17. End Credits: Leaves the are Green by Simon and Garfunkel

“and the leaves that are green turned to brown”


Sounds good to me! Whose going to write the screenplay?
