I’m copying this meme from Heather:
IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
- Open your music library
- Put it on shuffle
- Press play
- For every question, type the song that’s playing
- When you go to a new question, press the next button
(I have some 6384 songs on my iPod. It’s not as much as on my desktop computer but I think it’ll still make an effective demonstration)
- Opening Credits: Nyana by Tiesto
- Waking up: I Refuse by Falconer (how fitting)
- First Day at Highschool: Singers At The World’s Dawn by Ark
- Falling In Love: Beyond Salvation by Evergrey
- Fight Song: Hybrid Blues by Skyclad (something tells me this’ll be the fight scene where I go down in a blaze of getting my ass kicked, in the rain, and covered in mud)
- Breaking Up: Former Sisters by Terra Rosa (…wtf…)
- Prom: Ghost Love Score (Orchestra Version) by Nightwish. (So my prom is a giant epic period affair backed by a symphony).
- Life: Wishful Thinking by John Petrucci
- Mental Breakdown: Asteroid Dominion by Armageddon
- Driving: Cold Metal (Single Version) by Ambeon (“lying on my back on the railway / looking at the sky and its full moon / in the back of my head I feel the rolling wheels, shaking my memories” … eek)
- Flashback: Play Dead by HIM
- Getting Back Together: Savage by Cacophony (Hey, any relationship loaded with guitar solos is worth saving)
- Wedding: Into The Sun by Magnitude 9
- Birth of Child: Through the Ice Age by Kiuas (My kid is *so* battling vikings on the way out of the womb)
- Final Battle: Once in a Lifetime by Dragonforce (Fast. Triumphant. Rock on.)
- Death Scene: Suffocating Sight by Trivium
- Funeral Song: Forest of October by Opeth (It’ll be a long funeral)
- End Credits: Lake Bodom [live] by Children of Bodom (Best. End Credits. Ever.)
