    Soundtrack Of Your Life

    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:
    Soundtrack of "(Your Username Here)'s" Life
    Opening Credits:
    Waking Up:
    Falling In Love:
    Fight Scene:
    Breaking Up:
    Make Up:
    Secret Love:
    Life's Ok:
    Mental Breakdown:
    Driving Scene:
    Flashback:
    Happy Dance:
    Regretting:
    Long Night Alone:
    Final Battle:
    Death Scene:
    Final Ending:
    End Credits:

    First Day At School:
    Prom:
    Wedding:

    ________________________________________
    ________________________________________

    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!

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

                        there will never be a soundtrack there fit my life...
                        it is to Dark, but is optimistic, full of love, full tears, broken down, lost all hope of life...

                              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.
