My Life's Soundtrack

I saw this on Ethan's Blog, and thought about doing it, but then I saw Nat did it too, and that kinda cinched it for me. (I'm just keeping up the chain of blame.)

This is the soundtrack to "Your Life: the Movie." Put your playlist on shuffle and hit play. For each song you hear, put it down for a specific event in your movie-life. Don't skip songs or questions, just put them down as they come. Don't cheat to look cool.

Opening Credits: Nightmare World, Narbacular Drop
[This is a dark, instrumental piece from the game Narbacular Drop, Portal's predecessor.

Waking Up: Song 6, Daniel Powter
[I think it's about a guy deciding he wants to try going out with a certain girl, but with contemporary musical lyrics, who knows what he's saying. However, the tune has a sort of "We can take on the world," attitude, which would make for one amazing morning.

First Day At School: Break Anotha, Blake Lewis
[A very pop/techno tune, sung by a guy warning his friend that her new boyfriend is not of highest integrity. Best I can figure is that my childhood friend who is starting school at the same time as me finds a guy really, really, fast. Just don't ask me why I'm friends with that kind of six year old.]

Falling In Love: Don't Let Go, Weezer
["But if there comes a day/You should turn your heart away/I'll be down on my knees/Beggin for that girl to stay." Very appropriate. Like most Weezer, it is in a Rock/Alternate genera,]

Fight Song: Good Go Bad, Cheyenne Kimball
[It's actually about breaking up. I guess her guy went from good to bad, so she's singing him this rock song. Maybe I'm fighting an evil ex? Dern, am I hitting a girl. Maybe I'M the evil one.]

Breaking Up: Stick to the Status Quo, High School Musical
[I must have done something my girl didn't like, something out of characters something not cool, something nobody thinks I should have done.

Maybe I hit my ex?]

Prom: I Gotta Go My Own Way, Highschool Musical 2
[Gabriella brakes up with Troy. Boy did Prom ever suck. Way to round off an evening. I have absolutely NO luck with women.]

Life's OK: She Amazed Me, Rivo Drei
[Remember back to this morning? When I woke up? When I had no idea what this day would be about because I had no idea what Daniel Powter was singing about? Yeah. This is a parody of contemporary pop music. The lyrics are complete gibberish. I love this song. However, these constant break ups and the stress of my ex turning to the dark side must have driven me insane. Life is only OK in my heavily padded room. Que next scene.]

Mental Breakdown: Head Over Heels, ABBA
[Listen to those lyrics. Just listen to those lyrics. "Her man is one I admire/He's so courageous but hes constantly tired." Dern it. As soon as I get out of the mental institute, I get a new girl. That kind of girl. No wonder I go back.

Driving: Mambo #5, Lou Bega
["One, two, three, four, five/Everybody in the car, so come on let's ride/To the liquor store around the corner." Monica, Erica, Rita, Tina, Sandra, Mary, Jessica, and You. Maybe I'm better?]

Flashback: Do What You Want, OK Go
["Do what you want/What could go wrong?" That's me remembering my freind telling me it was OK to GO ask her out. On a side note, I find it interesting that Ethan had just told me about Aleister Crowley before WMP gave me this song.]

Getting Back Together: Most Girls, Pink
[What kind of girl did I get back with? Or rather, a better question is WHY this girl got back with me, a guy? This is a pop song about a girl that says she don't need a guy.]

Wedding: Yume Oboro, Eri Kitamura
[This is a kinda heavy beat pop song, but it also has a very distinct traditional Japanese sound to it. It's very cool. Excuse me me while I go look up what they lyrics mean, it's all in Japanese...

Heh, I should have known, the lyrics are more senseless than "She Amazed Me."]

Birth of Child: I Am Your Man, Rockapella
[Eh... I just can't think of an explanation for this.]

Final Battle: Hello Goodbye, Cheyenne Kimball
[I like to battle with Cheyenne Kimball. Maybe she's my evil ex? The song is about a guy that don't get his girl don't want him anymore. However, I ought to be married by now, why am I chasing a girl that doesn't want me? Maybe I married my evil ex? Are we fighting about a divorce? My my, this is just depressing.]

Death Scene: Oxygen, Colbie Caillat
[It's about a girl who meets a guy who she falls head over heels for. He steals all the oxygen from her lungs. It's not a dying song, but I guess it could mean I suffocate.]

Funeral Song: Quit Playing Games (With My heart), Backstreet Boys
[I guess it symbolizes that the girls will no longer be able to break my heart.]

End Credits: Knowing Me, Knowing You, ABBA
[Oh my gosh, this is perfect! It fits with the whole theme! It even makes a wonderful ending song. Simply perfect.]

[...and Nat's category,]

Trailer: Crab, Weezer
[I don't know what this song is about either, but it does make refference to a "her," so it can't misrepresent my movie too poorly.]
