Soundtrack for my life

Stolen from Cass's blog this is an interesting little exercise... and it was shocking how many of the songs actually fit....

because I was bored I added lyrics and if you're interested in hearing any of the songs on the list you can find them all here: http://mmillermadhouse.com/music/

So, here's how it works:
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...


Opening Credits:
High Hopes, Nightwish
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun
Along the long road and on down to the causeway
Do they still meet there by the cut
There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder


Waking Up:
River's Perception/Saffron (from Firefly Soundtrack by Greg Edmonson)
Sort of spacy, chinese instrunmental piece... starts out slowly and calmly and then becomes more intense.

Average Day:
Colleen I saw Him First, Amanda Marshall
Let me tell you about Colleen
My best friend since I was three
She always had a taste for dangerous things
Her scandalous tongue was extreme
I was always the one left holding the bag
Smiling and covering her tracks
Best friends, they always do that

She was the first to smoke a cigarette (she was the first)
She once let me watch her make love (woah woah yeah)
It was the kind of balance made by kings
She took it all, but left me some

I guess I'd always thought she'd have my back
But it didn't work out like that (no, no, no)
The moment I laid eyes on Jack

It was my time it was my space
It was the bright red he brought to my face
Every underdog has their day
Sorry it hurts
But Colleen, I saw him first...

First Day At School:
When Time Stood Still, E.L.O
Far beyond the things you see
Time rolls on eternally
Got a thing about it
Just can't live without it

Sitting there inside your mind
Just waiting for the clock to chime
On a lonely line
Stood a lonely man

No pictures on an empty wall
No body there no one at all
Just echoes in the ivory halls
When time stood still....

First Date:
Twilight, Delerium

Falling In Love:
Prologue, E.L.O.

Secret Love:
Innocent, Delerium
You can't see my eyes
You can't see my eyes
They don't see yours
Hear me when I say
I don't mind at all

It's the rain that I hear coming
Not a stranger or a ghost
It's the quiet of a storm approaching
That I fear the most
It's the pain that I hear coming
The slightest crystal tear, drops to the ground
In silence, when my love is near.
Darling, when did you fall? When was it over?
Darling when? When did you fall? When was it over?

It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and then my lonesome song begins
It's marching through my door now
The stony cold of lonesome
A bell tolls for my heart and now my lonesome song begins

Fight Song:
Follower, Katatonia
Hurts to see
My incapacity
Shame
Idle mind
No
You have changed me

My mouth is shut
Stupidity has shut my mouth

So when you come
I'm too unprepared to come along
I hold your hand to hard my knuckles turn white
When you clear the streets
And kill the lights...

Breaking Up:
Why am I Still Here, King Muskafa (could there have been a more perfect song for this one?)
I could have worn my sort pants today
I could have worn my crazy hat
I could have took a walk outside, i could have seen a good friend of mine, I could have stayed up real late
I could have done anything
and you wouldn't even care
so I wonder why I'm still here.

I could have worn my hair really, really long
I could have put my brother's clothes on,
I could have been unhappy, I could have been in despair, I could have been on my death bed
I could have been anything
and you wouldn't even care
So I wonder why I'm still here....


Life:
Julie don't live here, E.L.O.
I wander through a town
A town I new so well but it seems so strange
The wind blows cold
I remember when I thought your street was paved with gold
I walked along the street
A street I walked along many times before
The things have changed
Everything I knew was gone or rearranged

Chorus: julie dont live here anymore
She moved away many years before
How can it be, this I cant believe
Julie dont live here anymore

I walked up to your door
Last night I saw your face in the window
But it was different now
The lonely light where we used to be quite gone

I though about your smile
Your laughing eyes and the things you said to me
I felt so sorry for you
For all the nights we spent hanging around with nothing else to do.....

Mental Breakdown:
The Black Gate is Closed, Lord of the Rings Soundtrack (very fitting)

Learning a Lesson:
July, Katatonia
You come clean
Waves collide now
Defenseless numb arms
And no voice of reason

So how come you invited me too
You knew I wanted you
You glide above
So this night belongs to you
I know this isn't through
Are you dead to love

I see the bright lights
It's the month of July
It's violent here
Why have you left me
If only you could stay
And keep me in
It's violent here
Why did you run from me

Heat
Night devour me
Repeat
Repetition....

Deep Thoughts:
Temptation, Delerium

Driving:
L'amour de moi, Medieval Baebes
L'amour de moi, s'y est enclose
Dedans un jolie jardinet
Ou croit la rose et le muguet
Y aussi fait la passerose

Ce jardinet est bel et plaisant
Il est garni de toutes fleurs
On y prend son ébettement
Autant la nuit comme le jour

Helas il n'est si douce chose
Que de ce doux rossignolet
Qui chante au soir et au matinet
Quand il est las il se repose

Ce jardinet est bel et plaisant
Il est garni de toutes fleurs
On y prend son ébettement
Autant la nuit comme le jour

Flashback:
Rememberance, Delerium (wow, fits well)

Party Song:
Laude Novella, Medieval Baebes (yes I have tame parties :P)
Laude novella sia cantata
A l'alto donna encoronata

Fresca vergene doncella
Priomo fior, rosa novella
Tutto'l mondo a te s'apella
Nella bonor fosti nata

Laude novella sia cantata
A l'alto donna encoronata

Tu se' verga, tu se'fiore
Tu se' luna de splendore
Volunta avemo e core
De venir a te, ornata

Laude novella sia cantata
A l'alto donna encoronata

Tu se' rosa, tu se' gillio
Tu portasti el dolce fillio
Però, donna, si m'enpillio
De laudar te, honorata

Happy Dance:
Daylight, Delerium
if you can believe you're turning all the world that broke your mind
then i can do something for you even though you're lost in time

you won't have to be my heaven. i won't have to be your friend
daylight, daylight comes every time it's calling
daylight, daylight it goes away again now

don't let go don't let go of your heart
don't let go don't let go of your heart...

Regreting:
The Difference, Matchbox Twenty
Slow dancing on the boulevard
In the quiet moments while the citys still dark
Sleepwalking through the summer rain and the tired spaces
You could hear her name when she was warm and tender
And you held her arms around you
There was nothing but her love and affection
She was crazy for you
Now she's part of something that you lost

And for all you know
This could be
The difference between what you need
And what you wanna be
Yeah, what you wanna be....

Long Night Alone:
Stargazers, Nightwish
A grand oasis in the vastness of gloom
Child of dew-spangled cobweb Mother to the moon
Constellations beholders of the 3rd vagrant
Theater for the play of life

Tragedienne of heavens
Watching the eyes of the night
Sailing the virgin oceans
A planetride for the Mother and Child

Floating upon the quiet hydrogen lakes
In this ambrosial merry-go-round they will gaze
Ephemereal life touched by a billion-year show
Separating the poet from the woe...

Getting back together:
Silence, Delerium
Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides
Passion choke the flower
Until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder....

Wedding:
Feelin' the Same Way, Norah Jones
The sun just slipped its note below my door
And I can't hide beneath my sheets
I've read the words before so now I know
time has come again for me

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend

Another day that I can't find my head
My feet don't look like they're my own
I'll try and find the floor below to stand
I hope I reach it once again

And I'm feelin' the same way all over again
Feelin' the same way all over again
Singin' the same lines all over again
No matter how much I pretend

Birth of Child:
Hold on Tight, E.L.O.
Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see your ship go sailing
When you feel your heart is breaking
Hold tight to your dream.

Its a long time to be gone
Time just rolls on and on
When you need a shoulder to cry on
When you get so sick of trying
Just hold tight to your dream

When you get so down that you cant get up
And you want so much but youre all out of luck
When youre so downhearted and misunderstood
Just over and over and over you could....

Final Battle:
The Uruk Hai, Lord of the Rings Soundtrack

Death Scene:
Gollum's Song
Where once was light
Now darkness falls
Where once was love
Love is no more
Don't say goodbye
Don't say I didn't try

These tears we cry
Are falling rain
For all the lies you told us
The hurt, the blame!
And we will weep to be so alone
We are lost
We can never go home

So in the end
I'll be what I will be
No loyal friend
Was ever there for me...


End Credits:
Here Comes the Rain Again, Eurythmics
Here comes the rain again
Falling on my head like a memory
Falling on my head like a new emotion
I want to walk in the open wind
I want to talk like lovers do
I want to dive into your ocean
Is it raining with you.....
