This started as a bulletin on MySpace where you were supposed to populate this list based on the whims of your iPod/iTunes and this would be the “Soundtrack To My Life”. Well, inspired by perinnial cheater Bill, I’ve decided to make a real one based on a week’s worth of iPod listening and my stupid MySpace blog.
Opening Credits:
Sean – Aya
“But its all just part of the game
Where you see your self go, in and out of love
You’re always the same
Can you free yourself and live enough for us?”
Waking Up:
Gotta Get Up (Another Day) (Featuring 4Hero) – Jill Scott
“I don’t want to go to work today
I’d rather stay home and play video games
I’d rather chill for real
I don’t know how you feel”
First Day At School:
New Deep – John Mayer
“I’m a new man
I wear a new cologne and
You wouldn’t know me if your eyes were closed
I know what you’ll say
‘This won’t last longer than the rest of the day’
But you’re wrong this time
You’re wrong”
Falling In Love:
Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong – Radiohead
“A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into dust”
Fight Song:
Love and War (11/11/46) – Rilo Kiley
“Why must you try to ruin my peace of mind
And they were only words and I never meant them
I never loved you even in my weakness you were fuel for the fire cannon fodder”
Breaking Up:
“Last Goodbye” – Jeff Buckley
“Kiss me, please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire, babe, and not consolation
You know it makes me so angry ’cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry, this is our last goodbye”
Prom:
“One Evening” – Feist
“The evening was long, my guesses were true
You saw me see you
That something you said, the timing was right
The pleasure was mine”
Life:
The Child Is Gone – Fiona Apple
“‘Cause I suddenly feel like a different person
From the roots of my soul come a gentle coercion
And I ran my hand o’er a strange inversion
A vacancy that just did not belong
The child is gone”
Mental Breakdown:
Sometimes – Bilal
“Sometimes, you got me wishing I didn’t have home training
Sometimes, then it wouldn’t hurt me so bad
With dreams of knocking you in your head
Then it wouldn’t hurt me so bad
With our kitchen knife put up your ass”
Driving:
Electioneering – Radiohead
Flashback:
Waves – Lewis Taylor
“I know what I want but I just wouldn’t dare
I’d let her into my heart but she’s already there
‘Cause she comes in waves and I just reach a point
I fall over and over (and over and over) again”
Getting Back Together:
Above You, Below Me – by Badly Drawn Boy
“I will take you as you are
Please accept me as I am
There’ll be something in the wind
To show us we’re right
And tell us we’re wrong”
Wedding:
Kiss of Life – Sade
“There must have been an angel by my side
Something heavenly led me to you
Look at the sky
It’s the color of love”
Birth of Child:
India – Eric Benet
“I got the biggest part of heaven in my life
And I can feel it every time I see your eyes”
Final Battle:
Won on Won – The Cocoa Brovaz
“DING! That’s the sound of the bell
“Oh shit!” is all you heard before you fell
to the canvas, all washed up like my dirty drawers
and pants get, try to challenge get damaged”
Death Scene:
Colorblind – Counting Crows
“I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am fine”
Funeral Song:
Numb – Sia
“I saw you cry today
The pain may fill you
I saw you shy away
The pain will not kill you
…It has to end to begin”
End Credits:
Last Dance – Sarah McLachlan
The sad thing is I will spend the rest fo my life wanting to change this list
