What songs make up the soundtrack of your life?

You’re too young to have closing credits on your mind! lol

Hmmm..this is going to take awhile…...

@Coloma, closing credits doesn’t necessarily mean “death” or anything like that. More like the ending to a specific conflict/story in your life. I should probably clarify….

Gotcha!

Opening Credits: The Marcels Blue Moon

Introduction of conflict/main characters/love interest the Beatles Yesterday

Rising Action Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon

Climax Linda Ronstadt Round Midnight

Closing Credits Aretha Franklin Until You Come Back To Me

Wow, this is a tough one. There are quite a few alternates, but I think these suit me pretty well.

@filmfann, there ya go, that’s the spirit!

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities, currently listening….

It is tough and I am terrible at remembering names of songs and artists. lol

I’ll just have to go with the consolidated version…

ONE song that pretty much sums up the totality of me…..

GratefulDead: Sugar Magnolia.

Still on the river, still take myself out to wander round, still delightful! lol ;-)

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities, wow, those are great choices! You really should be a score producer for a film. Good work.

@Coloma, great one, suits you perfectly! Thanks!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard

Well..now that I rememberd all I had to do was get into my 50,000 songs and albums in my music folder…jeez…, like I was suppossed to do this by memory alone! lol
Time for a Corona..that’ll jumpstart my brain, get me singing too! haha

@Cruiser, haha, nice!

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Not always easy…gotta do what a man’s gotta do! ;)

I’m gonna have such a hard time with this, especially when it comes to associating lyrics to my life. I guess it will be pretty vague, but the emotions the songs I decided on evoke quite well the emotive relation to the specific times I’m thinking of with the choices, at least in my head. The words might be wrong, but the feeling is there.
(And I totally didn’t do it on purpose to choose the DotD track, I decided this before I checked all the links. XD I SWEARZ)

The opening credits because if my life was a movie, It would be totally emo and corny, and I think this song, for some reason, denotes solitude and the acceptance thereof quite perfectly.

The introduction because although this song has a very specific subject, I like the eternal love forever thing, which would merely exist as a setting to be broken and shattered and then make way for even more emoness. (Shoulda probbaly picked Love you to Death for this part, but I like the other one better so.)

Rising action is this song, because it conveys determination, but also the belief spawned by certain experiences which convinces that nothing can ever change. Sort of an I don’t give a shit song, but you’re still gonna hear me bitch about it.

And the climax is none other than Rabbit Run, because it’s full head on anger and I don’t give a fuck if you don’t like my shit material, but it’s also quite decisive.
On the other hand this is probably a way better climax song for me, since I’m not a rapper trying to piss people off.

And finally the ending credits Just like the opening, it has no lyrics, or barely any, but I feel that it portrays a conclusion (As mentioned before, it doesn’t have to be death; but this is a tragic emo movie! :D) with a delightful little feeling of…I can’t think of the word. When you feel fulfilled, despite that you probably shouldn’t.

Anyways, my movie probably wouldn’t be anywhere near as awesome as these songs are.

@Symbeline, first of all, I dig the hot vintage vampire chick at around 00:47 in the Type O negative song. Secondly, these are awesome choices, and I like that you gave explanations as to why you chose them. I take it your life’s movie is a gritty urban horror flick? ...in France?

Either way, I wish I could give you bonus points for the detailed answer.

Yeah, it would be like the Underworld movies but with crazy grindhouse effects. And yeah probbaly in France, or at least another place with a lot of churches. :D

Sounds rad, @Symbeline

seems it’s all about love issues

@anartist, very nice! Does your movie happen to end with a long-awaited dance scene? Or perhaps a woman staring teary eyed at a framed photograph? (Hopefully the former)

Good choices either way.

hasn’t ended yet
Thanks FPCB :-)

@anartist, good to hear :-)

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Thanks for coming up with this question! It’s intriguing to try and figure out what the songs mean to people.

@jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities I’m really into “The sun is in the north” and “Of dust and nations”- definitely downloading those soon.

@Haleth, no problem! Sea Song is badass. I love the video!

Damn… all of these songs are great!
From the sound of these songs, your life movie is a hip indie flick?

Either way, you have good taste in music.

@Fiddle_Playing_Creole_Bastard Thanks! I didn’t really have a type of movie in mind, but I really like music that bridges the gap between indie and electronic, or anything kind of genre-bending.

@Haleth, well those selections were awesome.
