Cue the Violins

If your life were a movie, what would its soundtrack be like? What songs, instrumental pieces, and other sound effects would be featured on the official soundtrack album? Via The Daily Post (21st November 2014)

If my life had a soundtrack, I hope it would be make me feel exactly like
Pitch Perfect‘s does. You know, good.

I’m all about feeling good and being stirred. I love an anthem. I like to listen to songs that make me imagine myself in certain scenarios. A dance off in the aisle of the night bus with twenty strangers, for example.

Showing an old (and beautiful) ex-boyfriend how amazing life has been without him. The high school reunion I couldn’t bear to attend in real life. Am the only person who does this?

Don’t expect anything too high brow from the Soundtrack of my Life. You would get some

Shaggy, ‘
Superfreak‘ by Rick James, a bit of
Prince (because who can stay still when Prince is up?). You’d get Alanis Morissette because ‘
Jagged Little Pill‘ was amazing.

You’d get the very best of The Cure, epecially ‘

Close to You‘. Depeche Mode’s ‘
Strange Love (Blind Mix)‘ would swing by and hold hands with
The Smiths.

There is a Light That Never Goes Out‘ is my favourite and would therefore play whenever I gazed upon my true love. ‘
Milkshake‘ would be my personal theme tune whenever I entered the frame. Or maybe I would prefer ‘
Edge of Seventeen‘?

A bit of ‘

Faith‘. A lot of
Spice Girls. ‘
Express Yourself‘ by Madonna. ‘
What It Feels Like For a Girl‘ too.

How is it even possible to choose what 12 songs? My life would have to be a trilogy, at least, just to fit it all in.

What about you?

In other news, it’s the weekend before my birthday and I’m heading back ‘home’ tonight. It’ll be very family heavy and that’s exactly what I want and need this year.

Call me a sentimental old fool if you like, but I want good company and quality time rather than drunken debauchery or, more likely, self-loathing because I’m no longer young.

Happy Friday all!
