I stumbled across this idea in my random internet activities, and I thought it was a great idea.

If you were to make a movie of your life what would be the soundtrack? Which songs do you believe would best exemplify your life, and your struggle through life.

I'm including links with my musical selections so everyone can listen to the music I pick if they wish.

Well here goes...

-Opening Credits: The Offspring- You're Gonna Go Far, Kid
[link]

Selected this song as my opening song because of it's uplifting lyrics about a person who has great potential. I think it sets up well for a life journey.


-Waking up Scene: The Postal Service- Such Great Heights
[link]

This calm, bright techno song I think would do well in a wake up scene. Wish I could wake up to this instead of my phone alarm every morning. ><

-Average Day: Simple Plan- I'm Just A Kid
[link]

Selected because as a highschool student I feel like my day mostly consists of sleep, classes, and homework. I feel like sometimes I'm not able to do the things I'd like to do, but that doesn't mean that I don't think I won't have the opportunity to do so down the road.

-Falling In Love: Stone Sour- Through The Glass
[link]

I really like how this song plays on the image of love sometimes taking on a "window" effect, meaning that sometimes one does not know if his or her's feelings for another is mutual and is left to only wait and watch them from afar.

-Being in love: Trapt- Only One In Color
[link]

Sometimes when you love someone dearly, everything else in the world seems secondary, and I believe this song encompasses that feeling quite well.

-love Scene: Snow Patrol- Chasing Cars
[link]

When I hear this song I imagine two people laying together in a field under a sky filled with stars, just enjoying the other's company. Very romantic in my opinion.

-Sex Scene: Elton John- Can You Feel The Love Tonight
[link]kGDrV_2ehI

Because I couldn't think of any music that was sexier. But in all honesty I really love this song.

-Heart Break: 12 Stones- Stay
[link]

This song plays on the fear of when a heart break occurs that a person may believe that the other person will leave their life forever, never to return. This song still manages to retain a bit of hope though for the future which is why I picked it.

-Fight Scene: Headstrong- Trapt
[link]

Definitely amazing fight scene music. One of my favorite songs of all time. It appeals to my overly competitive nature.

-Life's OK: Yoann Aniboom- Evergreen
[link]

This song is beautiful and shows that even in the most dismal of situations there is always light to be found. The video accompanying this song choice I think encompasses the meaning of the song well.

-Mental Breakdown: A Perfect Circle- Gravity
[link]

This song has a smoothness to it that I think shows the feelings of a breakdown well. You can almost feel the numbness and sadness in this, while still noting the tone of hope in receiving help to move forward.

-Driving Scene: Lostprophets- Can't Catch Tomorrow
[link]

Has a very upbeat off-road driving feel. Makes me want a Mustang. D:

-Flashback: Within Temptation- Memories
[link]

Besides the beautiful vocals in this song, it really encompasses the "ghostly" feelings of flashbacks and the unwillingness to move on from the past.

-Happy Dance: Spoon- Don't You Evah
[link]

Really lively song that I can't help but bop my head to the beat.

-Regretting: Maaya Sakamoto- Tell Me What The Rain Knows
[link]layList&=60EF1D17B4E2314A&laynext=1&laynext_fromL&index=9

This song has the somber and questioning feel of regret that I think suits it for this genre well.

-Long Night Alone: Lazlo Bane- Superman (I'm No Superman)[link]

When I listen to this song I imagine a scene of someone just wandering around their house doing menial and monotonous tasks. Plus I love Scrubs. >:3

-Final Battle: Final Fantasy X- Challenge (Seymour Flux/ Yunalesca Fight)
[link]layList&=3DF115D3B6EF3E46&index=3

I selected this song as my final battle music because of its deep intensity, and great use of drums interspersed with keyboard, and because I'm a Final Fantasy fanboy. :3

-Death Scene: Linking Park- Shadow of The Day
[link]

This song really captures for me the theme of sometimes needing to sacrifice oneself for the ones they love or a better cause. No matter how much your friends would like for you to stay, sometimes the only option is to put yourself on the line for everything you stand for.

-Final Ending: Nickelback- If Today Was Your Last Day
[link]

I'm using this song as my finale song because I think it brings together a lot of themes that I feel are important in my own life, like taking advantage of the time you have now. Plus if it was in a movie it would leave the audience with a nice message.

-End Credits: Steve Conte- Stray
[link]layList&=60EF1D17B4E2314A&index=10&laynext=2&laynext_fromL

I think this song really sums up most of my goals for my life. "Live my life as I choose until I fall stray." It's bright and energetic making for a good finale song.

*Note*

Also, I want to let people reading this know that is starting up commissions for her artwork. She does both human and animal art (primarily animal), and she has done a few things for me in the past and I can say that she is a wonderful artist to say the least. Look her up if you get the chance and I can promise if you commission from her you won't regret the end product.
