Life As A Soundtrack

Categorized As:

[Swiped from Michelle, cuz I listen to music non-stop but don't have much left in me to write, what with all the work.]

Here's what you do:

1. Open your music library
2. Set settings to “Shuffle”
3. Press play
4. For each entry, type the song that's playing
5. For new entry, press the next/forward button

opening credits: “Call It a Day” -- The Raconteurs
Not gonna be a comedy, is it?

waking up: “Top of the World” -- Dixie Chicks

first day at school: “Friends In Low Places” -- Garth Brooks
Funny. (Also, this is the only GB song I've got. Really.)

falling in love: “Where There's A Will There's A Whalebone” -- Islands

breaking up: “Gumboots” -- Paul Simon
“You don't feel you could love me, but I feel you could.”
Good one.

prom: “Tomorrow Tomorrow” -- Elliott Smith

life's okay: “Silent Life” -- Fruit Bats

mental breakdown: “Whole” -- Eliza Carthy

driving: “Real Bad News” -- Amie Mann
I'm a good driver, really. This meme sucks.

flashback: “She Has No Time” -- Keane

getting back together: “Worn Out” -- Kelly Joe Phelps

wedding: “White Shadows” -- Coldplay

birth of child: “It's Good To Be In Love” -- Frou Frou

final battle: “When The War Came” -- The Decemberists
Nice. (If the concert hadn't been postponed till next month, we'd be seeing them live right this second.)

funeral song: “Only Son” -- Liz Phair
Hm. This meme really sucks.

end credits: “Strange Fire” -- Indigo Girls

And there you have it. If my life were a movie it would be dark, tragic, and wouldn't make much sense. My life would be a bad indie flick. It would be “art.” Sigh. If I had the energy, I'd make up a meme where we'd get to choose the songs ourselves. The iTunes gods are clearly hating me.

This is the funniest music meme I have read on a blog. You crack
me up.

I knew when my first song was from Hustle & Flow that this meme would be hilarious. I like what's on your iPod, though!

It's cool to see what people listen to. I sit here all day with music on in the background; it's so much a part of my day (whether I tune it out or actively listen). It would be cool to do a meme focused on most-played songs...
