April 8, 200818 yr If your life was a movie what would the songs on its soundtrack be? Ok this is very simple, below are a few life and movie type situations, which songs/tunes/musical scores would you place with them. Obviously you don't have to go through each one of them and if there is something I have missed add it to your sound track. Really I had just done this on a few forums in the past and thought I would introduce it here and see what would happen. Its more of a what is your favourite song for different situations The Soundtrack: Opening credits Waking up Average day First date Falling in love Love scene Fight scene Breaking up Getting back together Secret love Life's okay Mental breakdown Driving Learning a lesson Deep thought Flashback Partying Happy dance Regreting Long night alone Death scene Closing credits (I'm sorry about the bad spelling in this...I am so tired and can't be bothered to correct any more then I just have )
April 8, 200818 yr If your life was a movie what would the songs on its soundtrack be? Here is my list (some serious, some not so serious) The Soundtrack: Opening credits - 'Theme from Space Odyssey 2001' Waking up - 'It's a beautiful Day' (Queen) Average day - 'Keep Yourself Alive' (Queen) First date - 'Wig Wam Bam' (The Sweet) Falling in love - 'Too Busy Thinking' (Marvin Gaye) Love scene - 'Push It' (Salt n Pepper) Fight scene - 'Theme from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly' (Ennio Morricone) Breaking up - 'One Year Of Love' (Queen) Getting back together - 'I Feel You' (Depeche Mode) Secret love - 'Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' (Timmy Mallet version) Life's okay - 'Peaceful Easy Feeling' (The Eagles) Mental breakdown - 'Stone Cold Crazy' (Queen) Driving - 'Johnny B.

This has taken me ages!
April 8, 200818 yr I love this idea, I'll have a proper think about it soon and answer them all. For now, I'm pretty sure the death scene would be Staralfur by Sigur Rós. It is such a beautiful song, and I can imagine someone playing a slideshow of things/photos/videos from my life in the background.
April 8, 200818 yr Blimey, this is quite a task isn't it, but I love music, so here goes... The Soundtrack: Opening credits - 4 seasons in one day - crowded house Waking up - city headache - scott matthews Average day - use me - bill withers First date - late in the evening - paul simon Falling in love - something in the way she moves - james taylor Love scene - the piano - micheal nyman Fight scene - dinner at eight - rufus wainwright Breaking up - a man needs a maid - neil young Getting back together - mandy - barry manilow!

April 8, 200818 yr Some great tunes there! 'Mr Brownstone' and 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' in paricular But... Barry Manilow?
April 8, 200818 yr Some great tunes there!'Mr Brownstone' and 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' in paricular But... Barry Manilow? Did you notice the (semi) ironic exclamation mark? I know it's shameful, but I think if you're going to complete a list like that, it's important to be honest. And I have a bit of a soft spot for old mazza, despite his excessive cheesiness. Something about that song (verse in particular) that just plays over and over in my head. It's woven into the fabric of my dark side Definitely the manilow version though - boyzone just can't cut it!
April 8, 200818 yr Sorry about that And yes, I did see your semi ironic exclamaton mark. I'm not taking the mick out of anybody who has a Queen song in their list (one great band) And don't be embarrassed about Manilow; I had a hell of a job choosing between Russ Abbott and Daniel O'Donnell I saw sense in the end though ....'I love a party with a happy atmosphere'. A truely great performer!
April 8, 200818 yr Blimey what a list. I'd just stick Hawkwinds Space Ritual on and the tracks would pretty much follow the list (for me at least)!

April 9, 200818 yr I'm officially OLD!!! I don't know a single piece of music on Rachael's list, and I've only even heard of about half the bands. *Abandon hope all ye who enter here*
April 9, 200818 yr Time to get downloading old man LMAO there's not even a real generation gap between you, its obviously a genre rather than an age difference !
April 9, 200818 yr Nothing wrong with being soppy (sometimes)! I have just realised how many of my songs are chilled out / acoustic / soppy I'm going to put all my songs into an iTunes playlist and see how it sounds in order.
April 9, 200818 yr I'm officially OLD!!! I don't know a single piece of music on Rachael's list, and I've only even heard of about half the bands. *Abandon hope all ye who enter here* Don't worry mate IMHO music died around 1982 and only came back to life briefly with The White Stripes and a few other Detroit based bands. Sadly it quickly went dead again. Do like some modern loungey, trip hop, bassy stuff. But most modern rock and pop leaves me cold, sounds like it's been dreamnt up by a 'brander', 'marketing exec' etc. headcoat the old fart oooh just thought eels, lucinda williams, late johnny cash, brmc - actually there's a fair bit of decent stuff still being released. just none of it on the ladys lists
April 9, 200818 yr oooh just thought eels, lucinda williams, late johnny cash, brmc - actually there's a fair bit of decent stuff still being released. just none of it on the ladys lists Johnny Cash is most certainly on my list! But doesn't count as still being released The video to hurt always gets me and Walk the Line was a fab film
April 9, 200818 yr Johnny Cash is most certainly on my list!But doesn't count as still being released The video to hurt always gets me and Walk the Line was a fab film still as in recent release at least hurt was on a recent recording - american recordings 4 i think. if you liked walk the line the 2 cd set - 'man in black' is a superb buy, covers pretty much the best 40 tracks prior to the release of the american recordings series. i have about 20 johnny cash lp's and box sets!!
April 9, 200818 yr And Lol I just saw Rachel's list and I see we have the same idea of what "Love Scene" should constitute hehehe! Hell yes. (and btw, it's "rachael", not "rachel". ) But, yes, I took "love scene" to mean the plain ol' hanky panky. I'm officially OLD!!! I don't know a single piece of music on Rachael's list, and I've only even heard of about half the bands. Do not abandon hope! You may not know them, but I get you can relate to some of the lyrics. Hey ho, let's go It's going down tonight Hey ho, let's go We're gonna do it 'til we die Cause I, I've got no reason to apologise That's my generation Everyone belongs to a generation, don't they?

April 9, 200818 yr North-what-town ? If it's North/ East of Bristol, and it isn't London, then I've never heard of it, and it might as well be a different country. You know what us westcounrty folks is like!
April 9, 200818 yr North-what-town ?If it's North/ East of Bristol, and it isn't London, then I've never heard of it, and it might as well be a different country. You know what us westcounrty folks is like! drunk on cider usually. surprised the wurzels weren't on your list banksy.
April 9, 200818 yr I used to live there, and now I only live down the road Oh wow! I live a little bit further down the road... Just past silverstone, actually. P.S. Sorry I spelt your name wrong. That's okay. You're not the first, and you most certainly won't be the last.
April 9, 200818 yr OH GOD!!! I can't stand the |Wurzels!! I had the misfortune to see them at a free 'concert' not too long back. Considering how long they've been playing together, they were AWFUL Actually I'm a total snob when it comes to things like the Wurzels - they're sh!te and I'd much rather be listening to Radio 4 thank you And I neither like nor drink cider... **struggles to shrug off regional stereotype** Hey ho, let's go It's going down tonight Hey ho, let's go We're gonna do it 'til we die Cause I, I've got no reason to apologise That's my generation Everyone belongs to a generation, don't they?

April 9, 200818 yr Where on Earth is Northampton? ha ha - it's just off the M1! Plus we have the "real" Watford, not that town near Londinium.

April 10, 200818 yr Lol, thanks. I know! It's hard to choose between songs... There are so many that fit so many situations... But somehow Insomnia always makes me want to dance... Tell me about it, Insomnia just reminds me of going mental (in a good dancing way) at Uni.
