A Soundtrack for my Life

opening credits: "Mr. Blue Sky" by Electric Light Orchestra (it's as close to 'me' in musical form as I can find)

waking up: "Morning Glory" by Oasis (with the line - "need a little time to wake up, wake up")

average day: "Kate" by Ben Folds Five (it just feels so right sometimes!)

falling in love: "You're So Bad" by Tom Petty (one of my all-time favorite songs and one that holds special meaning to me) AND "Baby, It's Cold Outside" by Ella Fitzgerald

love scene "Book of Love" by Peter Gabriel (so gorgeous that it turns me into a bonafide girl)

breaking up:"Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" by Bob Dylan

getting back together:"Up in Arms" by the Foo Fighters

secret love: "You Don't Know Me" by Ray Charles (unrequited love was a pill that I have been happy to swallow in the past. If there's anyone who knows about I-wish-you-noticed-me music, well - it's me)

life's okay: "One Headlight" by the Wallflowers (Oh Jacob Dylan. You make me want to get in my car and sing along)

mental breakdown: "Time Time Time" by Tom Waits (this is my song for rock bottom)

driving song: "Surf Wax America" by Weezer (for it's surfing amazing-ness)

learning a lesson: "Landslide" by the Smashing Pumpkins ( "I've been afraid of changing, 'cause I built my life around you")

deep thought: "Secret Garden" by Bruce Springsteen

flashback: "The World I Know" by Collective Soul (I just imagine someone standing on a cliff, talking stock of everything that has ever mattered to them. If there were cliffs in Ontario, that's what I'd be doing every time I listened to this song)

partying: "Work It" by Missy Elliot (just because the kids in the music video are so damn cool)

happy dancing tune: "Canned Heat" by Jamaroquai (I personally can't sit still when I hear this song)

regret: "Present Tense" by Pearl Jam

long night alone: "Passenger Seat" by Death Cab for Cutie

death scene: 'Dust in the Wind" by Kansas

closing credits: "When I Come Around" by Green Day

It's interesting, 'cause I made this list for fun while I was at Walkhome tonight, but when I look it over, it really gives you a good idea of who I am and how I see the world. So in the spirit of ego-centricity, I present for your consideration, the sound track to my life, pending a movie ever gets made, or that any one really finds this sort of thing interesting except for me :P
