Soundtracks

Good morning, the prompt for us today is to think of our personal soundtracks, if we were to craft the soundtrack for our lives, what would it sound like?

I'm not sure if any of you have noticed, but six of my blog titles have been song lyrics, and a few more reference other things as well. So it's pretty obvious I love music. Honestly, if I had to choice to lose my voice or hearing, I would choose my hearing over my voice without a second thought. I love to hear the wonderful craft and thought that many people put into their music. This list is obviously not going to be short, and in order to create it, I'm going to just page through my iPod since that seems like the easiest situation. I'm going to go by song since that I'll just be able to fast forward past what wouldn't be on the list, and it'd be in alphabetical order.

All my Lovin'- No this isn't the original, it's a cover by Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies. I just love this song, it's cute and fun for me, it represents the feelings I have since I'm truly a hopeless romantic.

Always Look On The Bright Side of Life- I love Monty Python. I have the whole Spamalot soundtrack on my iPod, although I wish I had I wish I were a Lumberjack on here too. This makes me cheer up sometimes when I get crabby and upset.

American Music- Most people will have this there. The majority of the music on my iPod is american, and it really is a good song.

Arabian Nights- I'm a semi-closet Disney lover. I have the Aladdin soundtrack on here. It's definitely one of the best Disney soundtracks.

... God this is a lot of music to sort through, I'm just out of As.

Bad Boy- This is Cascada, I have a big addiction to bad techno and dance music. This is the one song that I always hear when dancing at Detour, the one time of the year that I can actually dance without getting horribly self concious.

Bangs- I look horrible with straight fringe bangs, but right now I miss my side swept emo kid bangs, I need them cut back in soon.

Barbie Girl- This song makes me laugh, I believe in was the first single I ever owned, it even has the music video on the CD. I love how it makes fun of the materialistic values of our society.

Birdhouse in Your Soul- I think I've known every word to this song since my mother and I got the CD. It's just a song that's good for me.

Blister In the Sun- It came up, I like it, it goes on here. That's pretty much how most things are getting on here.

Blood In the Water- I love musicals. I love how this song is sturctured, it plays on how competitive it is, I certainly know I'm competitive most days.

Breathe- I've had the late night phone calls, I've made the late night phone calls. I'm grateful for the amzing friends that I know I have, they are the ones I know I will be around for the rest of my life.

Broken Heart- I've had my heart broken a few times, and I know I've broken a couple as well, it's interesting though since this was one of the songs that my ex said represented me so well, even before we broke up.

Brown Eyed Girl- Again, another cover. I still love this song, what brown eyed girl wouldn't?

Build Me Up Buttercup- I hate my friends when ever they mention this song. They know that I know almost every word, and have figured out that I pretty much have to get through the verse and chorus before I can stop.

Calling All Cops- Mentions Autobots, I love Transformers come on, and the song is good too.

Can't Stop- This is the thought that is always running through my head whenever I get a crush on someone, it sucks, I can never get them out of my head.

Chemistry- I love Semisonic, this song is sweet and I love it, my god, I'm saying that a lot.

Chip on My Shoulder- I'm finally developing that chip, I'm building up that resilience that you need to survive.

Oops, time to go! Atleast I got into Cs! I promise I'll write tonight!

Oh! look I've obtained more time to write this school day! Now, just to pick back up where I left off.

The Church of Hot Addiction- I love Cobra Starship, I'd really love to see them perform again. I had only ever heard Bring It, I saw them perform, and immediately bought this CD, I even went out and bought their second CD the morning it came out before I even went to school. This is another one of those songs that I think I know every word to this song.

Country Road- My god, I have a lot of covers on my iPod. I grew up in a relatively good sized city, and for a very long time I considered the pink house in the small town my grandparents lived in as more of a home than where I lived. Now, that house doesn't belong to ub anymore, but my home is still where my grandpa lives, and now that's still off a country road too.

Daft Punk is Playing at My House- This song makes me giggle, I love it.

Dead End- When I went to The Format's show, I had spent a rather generous time earlier arguing with my mom so I wouldn't have to go. I'm happy she made me go though, it was a good show and I do really like their music. This is another one of those songs that holds that ideal of being a hopeless romantic.

Divine Intervention- This is the first track off the Matthew Sweet CD that I've been listening to constantly. This whole CD is practically one big dedication to falling in and out of love and relationships, and being a hopeless romantic.

Do you Believe in Magic- I heart music, and old movies. it's all magic for me.

... Wow, No Es...

At this point I'm coming to the realization that I seriously need a better way to choose this music, don't worry, once I'm done I'll go back and trim it down to a final list at the end that really represents me. I'm already getting a little more critical in my choices.

Follow You into the Dark- Hopeless Romantic, with that idea I don't think I need to explain this song.

For You I Will- Yet another one of those hopeless romantic songs, especially since I can never admit that I like someone directly to their face unless I already know that they like me.

Forget My Name- This makes me think of all the things that happened to me last year. I hope they all eventually forget me, since they are just mistakes and a waste of my time for being friends with now.

Fortunate Son- In our society I truly respect the people that are willing to go to war right now. I could never make that sacrifice, I have no respect for some of the decisions our current(and soon to be ex!) president has made, to me it just sounds like your being handed a death sentence.

See, I'm out of Fs with a smaller number of songs than I have chosen for previous letters.

Girlfriend- More Matthew Sweet, I wish I had half the guts to say things like this to the person I like since well... yeah, I love this song, I'm always listening to it, I know all the words already.

Whoa, I have three songs titled Girlfriend on my iPod.

Good Riddance- Break ups suck, I'm happy to have the good memories, and I'm happy that things lasted for a while, even in the times it was their choice not mine, but the memories from my last relationship are most evident,even if I was the one that decided to be done with it in the end.

Oh, time for lunch, I'll be back with more thoughts at some time later today. Oh, and I'm done with Gs now too.

So, now back and it's 2:23 on the weekend, my goal is to get all the way through the rest of this before I move on to doing anything else today, although I am looking around my room and going Ughhhh I need to clean.

Happy Together- Cover... again. Yet another hopeless romantic song too, but it's so damn cute though, I'd like to have experiences like thig eventually.

I never thought I'd have this much trouble coming up with a soundtrack for my life.

I'll Melt With You- I actually have two covers of this on my iPod, why can't I stop coming up with the hopeless songs! This is cute yet again though, so it'll have to do.

I've Been Waiting- As I've stated in previous blogs, I have an issue with never saying anything to the people I end up really liking. This is the song for all of those evil emotions.

I Should Be Allowed To Think- Parts of my Dad's side of the family kind of plays it off as I'm still too young to make some decisions of my own, I've told you all about that before. I've also had many teachers like that too, our society perpetuates it. Personally, I'm not stupid, I have my own thoughts, I should be allowed to think.

I Would Walk 500 Miles- Oh look, another cover, and yet another hopeless romantic song. This kind of exhibits how far I'd go for the relationship that really matters that much to me.

If I Had $1,000,000- I know all the words. I love this song. Can I have $1,000,000? I would do many of things like this, but not a real fur coat that's cruel.

(It's) Hairspray- Hairspray(the original of course) is one of my favorite movies. Before it got really cold, I was putting my hair up into a short beehive for a while. I need better hairspray...

It's already 3:23 and I'm only part way through L!

Legally Blonde Remix- Last spring I took a huge blow in the form of losing a major amount of my friends, well I told you all about that already. Earlier this year I went back to the school to visit a couple teachers and some of the friends I have left there. I've fought back up to my real self and I'm not taking their shit.

Let's Twist Again- I'm actually dancing to this song in my seat. This song makes me energetic.

Light Up My Room- Why can't I stop picking hopeless songs? This is so sweet though, it's the love that lights up your life.

Lollipop(Candyman)- Yet another song I dance to at Detour without fail. I love Aqua for dance music.

I'ts currently 4:05, I need to take a break.

4:20, and I'm pretty much back for now.

The Middle- I listened to this song 3 times before I finally put it on here. When I was younger, every time I felt upset I'd get out this CD. I know I'm good enough for me.

Misery Business- I love this song. It's kind of how I think my personality works at times. Even though my actions are nasty and mean some days, those actions feel so good.

It's 4:45, I'm taking a serious break now.
