Here's a meme, stolen from someone that none of you know.
Soundtrack of my life. Winamp on shuffle mode, and my attempts to explain the reasoning behind Winamp's powers of divination.
Opening Credits: The Postal Service - Natural Anthem
This would be a nice opening song. Nice and mellow at the start. Kinda reminds me of Bittersweet Symphony. Kind of noisy and nasty in the middle. I usually skip over this song.
I'll write you a song, and I hope that you won't mind, because all the names and places I have taken from real life. So please don't get upset at this portrait that I paint: It may be a little biased, but at least I spelled your name right.
Waking Up: They Might Be Giants - Boat of Car
A slightly despairing song, which is sometimes how I feel in the mornings I guess.
I was trying to get somewhere, but now I'm following the traces of your fingernails that run along the windshield on the boat of car.
First Day at School: Beck - Loser
Hah. Perfect.
Sprechen sie Deutsche, baby?
Falling in Love: Freezepop - Science Genius Girl
Freezepop songs sound a lot like falling in love. And while this song in specifically does not have that as its subject matter, the band has some good ones.
When I clone a human being, it will want to hold my hand. When I clone a human being, it will be a member of my band.
Fight Song: da Vinci's Notebook - Title of the Song
Describes a relationship-style fight, I guess. A template for a boy band love song.
Title of the song; naive expression of love. Reluctance to accept that you are gone. Request to turn back time, and rectify my wrongs. Repetition of the title of the song.
Breaking Up: The Police - One World (Not Three)
I don't know. Live and let live? Be nice to people. Everyone deserves respect...even if they're your ex? It doesn't relate well.
The third world breathes our air tomorrow, we live on the time we borrow. In our world there's no time for sorrow, in their world there is no tomorrow. One world is enough for all of us.
Prom: Dido - See the Sun
How depressing. Not a good match at all.
You can wear anything, as long as it's not black. Please don't mourn forever, she's not coming back.
Life: John Mayer - Covered in Rain
A cold sad song, of tragedy and keeping yourself from despair by holding on to that one person. But it doesn't have a happy ending. However, it does contain a cracking guitar solo. So maybe it's not about the ending, but the beautiful journey on the way.
It's dark I know, but then again, it's the brightest thing I've got.
Mental Breakdown: Frou Frou - Let Go
Well, this one has the obvious reason of the line "there's beauty in the breakdown". But it's not really talking about a mental crisis. It's talking about the imperfections of life. It's a nice, soothing, carpe diem-type song.
Such boundless pleasure; we've no time for later now. You can't await your own arrival. You have twenty seconds to comply.
Driving: The Wrens - Everyone Choose Sides
It's an angry song. Maybe one you'd enjoy singing in the car, if you could understand any of the lyrics. Subject-matter-wise, it's about the band themselves and not selling out, or something suchlike.
I've walked away from more than you imagine, and I sleep just fine
Flashback: Tom Paxton - Lyndon Johnson Told the Nation
Flashback in two ways: One, it is a history song about the Vietnam war, and two, I first heard it in 8th grade. Fond memories of that class. Mr. Brungs was an excellent teacher with good taste in movies and music too. His politics not so much, but eh.
Though it may seem very queer, we've got no jobs to give you here, so we are sending you to Vietnam.
Getting Back Together: They Might Be Giants - Where do they make Balloons?
Danny Weinkauf and his adorable little voice and his adorable little Beatles-esque song. Y'awwww. Uhm, it has nothing to do with 'getting back together'.
The ocean has the fishes, London has a tower, in Holland they have windmills, lots of bikes, and pretty flowers. But where, where do they make balloons?
Wedding: Rent - Finale A
Mimi is dying... That's no good for a wedding. Then again, it does deal with Love Overcoming All Barriers (TM).
I should tell you why I left, it wasn't 'cos I didn't--
--I know.
Birth of Child: Modest Mouse - Lives
Hm. It's about the self-defeating nature of life. A child is born, but life is over before it truly lives.
If you could be anything you want, I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right? No one really knows the ones they love. If you knew everything they thought about, you'd wish that they'd just shut up.
Final Battle: David J - This Vicious Cabaret
Preparing for revolution.
At least the trains all run on time, but they don't go anywhere.
Death Scene: Jekyll & Hyde - Murder, Murder!
Doesn't take an analytical genius to figure that one out.
Bessie, my love... You really should be more careful, wearing your real diamonds out on the street. You never know whom you might encounter.
Funeral Song: They Might Be Giants - New York City
Not a good funeral song. But certainly a good song.
I've packed my stuff, it's on the bus, I can't believe it's true: I'm three days from New York City, and I'm three days from you.
End Credits: John Mayer - 3x5
Pure beautiful poetry and mildly depressing longing bottled up into a song.
I guess you had to be there. I guess you had to be with me. |
