I saw this at Uneasy Priest and thought it would be fun. I'm providing Amazon or other links where possible because I know some of the music I listen to is, well, not all that well known, many have sample clips so you can check it out, cool huh?:
IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
Here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
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...
7. Include commentary
OPENING CREDITS: "Flight, for Robert Frost" by Michael Hoppe (from "The Poet, Romances for Cello") Nice, quiet, peaceful and bit sad. Good for the into I guess.
WAKING UP: "Madness" by Ravi Shankar (from Transmigration Macabre) OK, well that is what came up, what can I say? ;-/
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL: "Only a Lad" by Oingo Boingo (From Only a Lad) Heh, see, it's really not my fault at all, it's societies fault, I'm just a poor oppressed abused little git! Yep, it fits with a public school educumation in California all right.
FALLING IN LOVE: "Phenomenon" by Equinox (from Holon) Oh yes, that sound is most certainly the sound of Larry "falling in love" words, who need words when one is in love?
FIGHT SONG: "American Dreaming" by Dead Can Dance (on Toward The Within)
I need my conscience to keep watch over me
To protect me from myself
So I can wear honesty like a crown on my head
When I walk into the promised land
Weve been too long American dreaming
And I think weve all lost the way
Forlorn somnambulistic maniacal in the dark
Ah, that's my kind of fight.
BREAKING UP: "Sonatina: Andante II" by Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin, composer Moreno Torroba (on Two Worlds) a sad, slow, classical and jazz sound, perfect for the aftermath of the break up.
PROM: "Gia - The Infinite Posse" by Ubiquity (on Audio Alchemy 2) Yeah, well I didn't want to go to that stupid establishment prom thing anyway, so there!
LIFE'S OK: "Nagashi Reibo" by Yoshikazu Iwamoto (on L'Esprit Du Vent - The Spirit Of Wind) life is good and I'm by a slow moving stream, under a willow tree, silence, and a single flute carries me into a meditative state, peaceful.
MENTAL BREAKDOWN: "Agnus Dei" by St. Thomas Choir of Men and Boys (on Music of Messiaen, Franck, Poulenc and Durufe) that's pretty quiet for a breakdown, but it's 20th century stuff so it's kind of appropriate.
DRIVING: "O Sacrum Convivium", by Monks Of The Abbey Of Notre Dame (on Gregorian Chant) I have taken long road trips where I listened to hour on hour of Gregorian Chant, it really works well when crossing several hundred miles of Nevada high desert.
FLASHBACK: "Flowers of the forest" by Mike Oldfield (on Voyager) the sound of bagpipes for my flashback, well I guess so, it's a nostalgic sort of sound.
GETTING BACK TOGETHER: "Windows and walls" by Michael Gettel (on Skywatching) getting back together? I don't think so!
WEDDING: "Dantes Prayer" by Loreena McKennitt (on The Book of Secrets)
Cast your eyes on the ocean
Cast your soul to the sea
When the dark night seems endless
Please remember me
BIRTH OF CHILD: Overture from La Grande-Duchesse de Gerolstein by Offenbach... a happy tune for the birth of a child, pretty cool really ;-)
FINAL BATTLE: "Sad Merlin's Sunday" by Tangerine Dream (on Goblin's Club) I can go with this as a final battle song I guess, it has a sort of doomed but determined sound to it...
DEATH SCENE: "Mars" by the London Symphony, composer Holst (on The Planets) This would have been better as the final battle but I suppose I can die to it as well as fight with it...
FUNERAL SONG: "Oh Holy Night" by Michael Allen Harrison (on Enchanted Christmas) the hazzards of iTunes shuffle... ah well it's a nice instrumental version.
END CREDITS: "Rondeau: Allegro" by Hogwood, composer Mozart (on Mozart: The Violin Concertos) I can go out with Mozart, no problem...
Tag yourself.
