\n

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?<\/strong> <\/p>\n

So, here’s how it works:
\n
\n1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
\n
\n2. Put it on shuffle\/Random
\n
\n3. Press play
\n
\n4. For every question, type the song that’s playing
\n
\n5. When you go to a new question, press the next button <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Opening Credits: <\/strong>
\n
\n“7 O’Clock News\/Silent Night” – Simon & Garfunkel – Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme<\/em>
\nFaith and tranquility juxtaposed against reality and horror. Nice.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Waking Up:<\/strong>
\n
\n“7 Chakras of the Body – Chakra 1” – Mannheim Steamroller – Fresh Aire 7
\nArrhythmic and incoherent, which is just about right for my waking up.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

First Day At School: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Newhart (Arrangement A)” – Henry Mancini – MyThemes.tv
\nThat’s the “Vermont Hotel” series, and deceptively calm for such events.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Falling In Love: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Chrysalis (3)” – Christopher Franke – Babylon 5
\nThis varies from mysterious and disturbing to tense to exultant and back and around. Hmmmm …<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Breaking Up: <\/strong>
\n
\n“The Threat to the Governor of Harfleur – Katherine of France – The March to Calis” – Patrick Doyle – Henry V
\nBig dramatic sections interspersed with quiet but ominous elements along with lots of minor keys. Yeah …<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Prom: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Lifted” – Eurhythmics – Peace<\/em>
\n
\nWell, at least it’s a nice slow song. And kind of encouraging …<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Life’s OK: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Poor Unfortunate Souls” – The Little Mermaid<\/em>
\n
\nHmmmmmm …doesn’t sound particularly okay to me …<\/small><\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Mental Breakdown: <\/strong>
\n
\n“The Yew Tree” – Battlefield Band – Anthem for the Common Mans
\nWell, I guess talking to a tree isn’t terribly healthy … especially if you expect an answer. Great song, though. If I do have a breakdown, I’ll probably start speaking in a Scots brogue.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Driving: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Piano Concerto No. 2 in F Min” – Chopin
\nOh, this truly sounds like a marvelous drive.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Flashback: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Night Ride Across the Caucasus” – Loreena McKennitt – Book of Secrets
\nYeah, I could see a sequence of flashbacks under this. Lots of flashbacks. <\/small><\/small>Fairly dramatic ones, at that.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Getting Back Together: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Mhorag’s na horo Gheallaidh” – Clannad – Fuaim
\nNot sure about the mostly a capella chant in an unintelligible language. Or maybe that’s fitting. Tight harmony works, and rhythmic, and fun to listen to.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Wedding: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Take Me in Your Lifeboat” – Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – Will the Circle Be Unbroken
\nNice, given that Margie’s mine. Certainly a great pick-me-up tune.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Birth of Child: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Water Music St 2 – XVIII” – Handel
\n
\nFast and exciting, a well-meshed combination of themes and players. But way too short.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Final Battle: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Card Sharks (arrangement A) – MyThemes.tv
\nEnded up with a lot of TV themes in here. Interesting. That said — a darned odd choice.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Death Scene: <\/strong>
\n
\n“For Your Own Good” – Pet Shop Boys – Nightlife
\nAn ominous start and a typically grim undertone to the bouncy tune. Yow.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Funeral Song: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Police Squad” – Ira Newborn – MyThemes.tv
\nLaughs and laughs and laughs …<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

Sex Scene: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Star Trek: Nemesis – Suite” – Jerry Goldsmith – Forty Years of Film Music
\nGood Lord — I hope sex with me isn’t quite this … highly dramatic and action-oriented. Well, maybe action-oriented. And there is this big urgent driving beat, striving toward a climax, followed by quiet, contemplative bits, finally wrapping up with a rousingly optimistic thematic send-off to the future.<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

Dance Sequence: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Nutcracker – March” – Tchaikovsky
\nFar too rhythmic and spritely to apply to <\/em>my dancing.<\/em><\/small><\/p>\n

End Credits: <\/strong>
\n
\n“Otoko to Megami no Love Song” – Aa! Megami-sama – Complete Vocal Collection
\nPerky, poppy, not quite understandable but fun.<\/small> Why the hell not?<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
