I'm in the mood for a melody...

  Instructions:
   1. Open your library (iTunes, Media Player, iPod, etc)
   2. Put it on shuffle
   3. Press play
   4. For every item, type the song that’s playing
   5. When you go to a new item, press the next button
   6. Don’t lie and try to pretend you’re cool…

   …

THE MOVIE OF MY LIFE

Opening Credits: "Suburbs" by Arcade Fire (though I consider myself urbane, I seem sentenced to the sprawl)

Waking Up:  "Breathe" by Pink Floyd (a mellow wake-up with some sound advice)

First Day of School: "Hungry Heart" by the Boss (hungry for knowledge)

Falling in Love: "Dream a little dream of me" by Etta James/Louis Armstrong (right sentiment)

Fight Song:  "Wild Horses" by U2 ("you're dangerous...")

Prom:  "Homemade Love" by Journey (obscure but appropriate - I stayed home during my prom)

Life: "Closer to the Heart" by Rush ("...too mold a new reality...")

Mental Breakdown: "Save if for later" by The English Beat  (nice manic mood)

Driving:  "Power" by Kanye West (horsepower?)

Flashback:  "The Harder They Come" by Jimmy Cliff ("...as sure as the sun will shine...")

Getting Back Together:  "She bangs the drum" by Stone Roses (sounds good)

Wedding:  "She's got a way" by Billy Joel (not one of our wedding songs, but could've have been - "she's got a smile that heals me")

Birth of Child:  "Ecstasy" by Poi Dog Pondering (Happy, happy days)

Final Battle:  "Misunderstanding" by Genesis (well, I guess we know what the final battle was about)

Death Scene:  "Come on Eileen" version by No Doubt (I'm not dying, and don't call me Eileen)

Funeral Song:  "Life is Good" by Los Lobos (more of an anti-funeral song; oh, the irony)

End Credits: "Brilliant Mind" by Furniture (well, that goes without saying after reading this blog...)
