Growing up I watched a fair bit of movies. Romantic to comedy to drama to thriller; pretty much anything can turn my crank. I enjoy a great film because I like characters. That is to say, characters with great growth in a film can be like a best friend. You root for some and frown at others. But the atmosphere is always improved ten fold, no matter the situation, with great music.

Now, if you were a character in a film what kind of music would follow your significant parts? What is the soundtrack of your life?

Seven moments I can think of so far are:

Fade in: Mine would probably be the intro to Teenage Wasteland. I’ve always loved the introduction to this song and it is a great fade in.

Car scene: You know, driving and looking into the sunset dramatically in a film. For this I chose “Out of my Head” by Fast Ball. The song is slightly sad but still rather catchy

Fight scene: For my fight scene I chose two songs “Mu Empire” by Glassjaw. The song is raw and fast, like a fight. It’s whiney but hard. I like it.

Heartbreak scene: “Re-offender” by Travis is a good song for the scene. The scene progresses as the song progresses. Emotion builds as the song builds. Good mix. Also the song “Reptilia” by The Strokes is a great song for it.

Dance Scene/Romantic Epiphany/Pre Kiss: “I’ll be” by Edwin McCain. Good song for a good scene. Or “This years love” by David Gray.

Climax (for anything related to sports): “C’mon C’mon” by The Von Bondies. Always play sports listening to the song. The bass line is catchy. It’s a cheerful song. I like it.

Fade Away: “Must Get out” by Maroon 5 is always something I imagined ending a film. It’s fiting.

So, the challenge is create a new scene or maybe just replace the son in one of mine. I’d love to hear you’re ideas. A scene could be as simple as “Eating Ice Cream”… but please don’t do eating ice cream.

Good luck.
