Soundtrack Of Your Life

[Telliath]

Some girl from school gave me this paper from a school assignment her English class had to complete. It was called the Soundtrack Of Your Life, and the goal was to fill in these different sections with songs. The challenge was that every single artist had to be different and that there had to be a minimum of 5 genres of music.

This sheet my friend gave me really got me thinking and I thought that it's really cool to see the kinds of music people would pick for a certain category. I thought that I could share my choices and then have you post your song choices also. It's quite interesting to see what people would choose, and why they chose it.

This is what the original layout looks like:

This is a really cool way of seeing what kind of music people are into and it's a good way of, to a certain degree, finding out a little bit of someone's personality. If possible, you could supply links to videos or to streamed mp3s of the songs you've chosen.

My picks were as follow:

Soundtrack of Telliath's Life
Opening Credits: Lovestoned (Tiesto Mix) - Justin Timberlake
Waking Up: Don't Feel Like Dancing - Scissor Sisters
Falling In Love: The Rock show - Blink 182
Fight Scene: Are you dead yet - Children of Bodom
Breaking Up: Stacey's Mom - Fountain of Wayne
Make Up: Painted Ladies - Ian Thomas
Secret Love: Paralyzer - Finger Eleven
Life's Ok: You Only Live Once - The Strokes
Mental Breakdown: On It (Erothyme Mix) - Mindless Self Indulgence
Driving Scene: Rock The Casbah - The Clash
Flashback: Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns N' Roses
Happy Dance: Sandstorm - Darude
Regretting: Revelation - D12
Long Night Alone: American Psycho - Treble Charger
Final Battle: Frictional Nevada - Venetian Snares / Lawnwake IV - The Flashbulb
Death Scene: Swing Life Away - Rise Against
Final Ending: In The End RMX - Linkin Park
End Credits: Bloody Well Right - Super Tramp

First Day At School: Teenagers - My Chemical Romance
Prom: Run To The Hills - Iron Maiden
Wedding: Sail Away - STYX

I don't really need an explanation for any of the songs except for, according to some friends of mine, Stacey's Mom, American Psycho and Run To The Hills. Stacey's mom was chosen because of the lyrics. Listen to it, and you'd understand. American Psycho is a very upbeat song. You don't want your night alone to be boring, so crank up the volume and start dancing! Finally, Run To The Hills makes me think of being in a limo, on the way to the prom, freaking out with my date and my closest friends to some good music. Sticking out heads outside the windows and screaming, it just all seems perfect with this song.

Please copy/paste my layout and post your song selections!

[foilman8805]

Don't repost. Good chance a moderator will see this and move it to the appropriate section. Just have a little patience.

These are pretty representative. The problem I ran into was that I would find a bunch of songs that fit each scenario as I went along. I had to pick and choose, which was difficult. If you couldn't tell from the playlist, I picked a bunch of mellow stuff. My final battle is a Menomena song. My happy dance is Iron and Wine. I consider myself laid back, but I do have a bunch of aggressive stuff on my iPod, but I just think this is a better representation.

EDIT: and now to turn this into an actual playlist. Rofl.

ALSO, here's a playlist I made for a friend of mine. It consists of music that we sent each other over the years that we've known each other, or other relevant items. It's also a timeline to our friendship. Aren't I a cool guy.

At the Beginning - Donna Lewis (Pretty much when we met)
They Might Be Giants - Bangs (I constantly made fun of her hair)
Elevator Love Letter - Stars (First song she ever sent me, three weeks after knowing her)
Vienna - The Fray
Smile Like You Mean It - The Killers (Cheer up, kid!)
Speak Slow - Tegan and Sara (Her sixteenth birthday party)
Walk Away - Kelly Clarkson (She was in love with this song the next summer.)
Feel Good Inc. - Gorillaz (It was the anthem of said summer)
New York State of Mind - Billy Joel (I moved to New York, but we both love Billy Joel)
Marching Bands of Manhattan - Deathcab for Cutie (I am in New York, missin' my friends)
Mr. Blue Sky - ELO (I visited, and this was on a CD I made her)
That Time - Regina Spektor (Reflective of our discovery of Regina and how funny we thought the song was. In addition, we both love nostalgia)
Common People - William Shatner (I moved back, and got a low paying job. Also, this was on another CD)
Where We Went Wrong - The Hush Sound (We had a huge falling out that lasted for almost half a year.)
Hey There Delilah - The Plain White T's (My friends and I sang this to her acapella this last New Year).

So yeah, I'm a big gay baby.

[UnkownMan]

How come every time I look at this thread, I always think "The Prime Time Of Your Life" by "Daft Punk"?

[FishFishRevolution]

This would take me ages to do for real so I'm going to do it with just the music on this laptop. Turns out I had more than one entry for some categories, so I separated those with commas.

I was this close to using this song as my Falling In Love category.

[MalReynolds]

Bahaha, yeah... The only Stars tracks I have on my computer are songs that were sent to me.
