My Soundtrack
Ok, since it's my day off and I love music and movies (and party shuffle), I'll go ahead and try this.... and just for fun, I'll add song quotes. According to this, if one were to make a movie about my life, it would be a Lifetime Original Movie written and directed by Zack Braff...?
Opening Credits: My Favorite Things - Sound of Music
Waking Up: Understand - Jeremy Camp.
Wow, my life is so confusing and I don't understand it.
First Day At School: Colorblind - Counting Crows
" Taffy stuck, tongue tied/ Stuttered shook and uptight/ Pull me out from inside/ I am ready/I am ready/ I am ready/ I am fine."
Falling In Love: The Brilliant Dance - Dashboard Confessional
"So this is strange/ a side-stepping has come to be/ a brilliant dance where/ nobody leads at all" That quote is strangely appropriate for me, but the song is actually about breaking up....
Breaking Up: Draw Me Close - Katinas
Good song for a broken heart.
Prom: Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness - Smashing Pumpkins
This song is instrumental, and sad. This is definitely one of those indie coming of age movies with a lot of quiet interludes and soft dialog.
Life's Ok: Cuban Pete - Jim Carey from the Mask Soundtrack. Wow.
"When I play the maracas I go chick-chick-ey- boom, chick-chickey-boom"
Mental Breakdown: My Stupid Mouth -
"Oh another social casualty/ score one more for me.... I'm never speaking up again"
Driving: Alive - Rebecca St. James
"You make me come alive"
Flashback: God Be Merciful to Me - Jars of Clay. Ok, honestly, what came up was an NPR stream....
Getting Back Together: #1 Crush - Garbage
" See your face every place that I walk in/ Hear your voice every time I am talking/ You will believe in me/ And I will never be ignored" This is so lifetime original movie....
Birth of Child: Everything - The Normals
"I wanna give you everything/ but I've got nothing but my open heart"
Final Battle: Diggin' On You - TLC ???
"I was like deep in a cool/ Whatnt gone be nobodys fool"
Death Scene: To Be With You - Hoobastank
" Cause I would leave it all so far behind/ Just to be with you today"
Funeral Song: Shout to the Lord - Mark Schultz
End Credits: Over-Rated - The Remedy Session
" I will visit here alone/ helps me breathe/ and I'll never sleep again/ It's overrated. "
1. Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle

4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool.

Dude, this is possibly the best poll/quiz idea ever, and the fact that I started doing it right away is a testament to my insanity. Although it might also be fun to just decide which song you want for each category. But I'll stick with your 6-step thing.
I think my movie would be a saga-type movie (sweeping, overrated, partly incoherent) and should be directed either by Andrei Tarkovsky (who made "Andrei Rublev," an "iconic" Russian movie, pun intended :D) or Charlie Kaufman (Adaptation, Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine...). NOTE: My iPod library is mixed with my dad's, hence an inordinate
amount of foreign/bizarre songs that I will NOT count as part of the shuffling process.
Opening Credits: Anywhere Is -- Enya.
"I took the turn and turned to/begin a new beginning/Still looking for the answer/I cannot find the finish"
Waking Up: Half As Much -- Patsy Cline. (Not the right mood at all...)
"Have you ever been lonely/Have you ever been blue/Have you ever loved someone/Just as I love you"
First Day At School: Abraham, Martin and John -- Dion. (At least I'm clearly not trying to be cool. :P)
"He freed a lot of people/But it seems the good, they die young/I just looked around and he's gone"
Falling In Love: Christmas in Sarajevo -- Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
NOTE: I just realized all these songs are kind of sad or pensive. I swear I have happy music!!
Breaking Up: Steam Heat -- from The Pajama Game. Could be relevant??
Prom: Dancing In the Dark -- Bruce Springsteen. HAHA!!
Life's Ok: To the Moon and Back -- Savage Garden. This is a great, moody '90s pop song.
"She can't remember a time when she felt needed/If love was red, then she was colorblind/All her friends, well, they've been tried for treason/And crimes that were never defined/She's saying, 'Love is like a barren place and reaching out for human faith/It's like a journey I just don't have a map for'/So baby's gonna take a dive and/Push shift to overdrive/Send a signal that she's hanging all her hopes on the stars"
Mental Breakdown: Hazy Shade of Winter -- The Bangles
Driving: Take Me Home, Country Roads -- John Denver. Haha, perfect.
Flashback: It's My Life -- Bon Jovi. Umm, this is a flashback I don't want.
Getting Back Together: Fernando -- ABBA. No comment on this either. :P
Birth of Child: No Myth -- Michael Penn. Yay, I want this song playing at EVERY life occasion.
"What if I were Romeo in black jeans/What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth/Maybe she's just looking for/Someone to dance with"
Final Battle: Pardon Me -- Incubus. Megan, I really don't know what you mean by a "final battle" (I'm not anticipating some Armaggeddon-style showdown in my lifetime) but there it is... This song is quite appropriate actually.
Death Scene: Insensitive -- Jann Arden. Awwww.
"You probably don't remember me/It's probably ancient history/I'm one of the chosen few/Who went ahead and fell for you/I'm out of vogue, I'm out of touch/I fell too fast, I feel too much..."
Funeral Song: Get Off -- The Dandy Warhols. That's too funny!!!
"Hot diggity dog/I love God all the same/But all I wanna do is get off/I feel it, feel it, feel it, babe!"
End Credits: The Game of Love -- Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders. This is possibly the least PC song I have, but it's entertaining and strangely appropriate.
"The purpose of a man is to love a woman/And the purpose of a woman is to love a man/So come on baby, let's start today/Come on baby, let's play the game of love!"
