Last year I did this Soundtrack of your life exercise on my old blog. At the the time, I was bummed that itunes had somehow picked out the one Natalie Imbruglia song out of thousands in my collection so I thought I might do it again. Here again are the instructions:
IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool - first songs only
Opening Credits

First Day of School
Falling in Love
Fight Song
Breaking Up
Prom
Life is Good
Mental Breakdown
Driving
Flashback
Getting Back Together

Funeral Song
End Credits

This is the actual outcome of the exercise with no meddling for songs I don't like (1-Speed Bike really have the worst song titles). Nice line up with the waking up, breaking up, driving song and getting back together. Night before the war and moment of triumph, not so much. Anyhow, this is the new soundtrack to my life story... until I do it again next year...

THAT is uncanny. Can I steal it for my blog? Full credit to you of course.

Yeah, totally - I ripped it off some other blog anyhow(whom I didn't give credit haha!). I'm sure Podley will provide a good soundtrack. x
ReplyDeleteIt's all swings and roundabouts innit?
ReplyDeletePodley apparently has doubts about my mental well-being and wants the soundtrack to reflect this. Stop by the blogster when you get a sec. I love this game JH!
