Soundtrack of your life
 

Ok, I saw there's already a thread with the same title, but this one is a bit more structured or something, some sort of game (hope it's ok)
The thing is there's a list of different moments in a film and you should write beside it the song/s you think would be in your life's movie (of course you can add scenes if you feel like it). We did it with some friends and I found really interesting to listen their soundtracks, they tell a lot about people!
I had it in spanish but I translated it, sorry if there are any mistakes


So, here goes my soundtrack (I put links of the songs you probably don't know)


1. Opening titles: YouTube - Anochecer - Lisandro Aristimuño y Kevin Johansen

2. Waking up: Hlemmur 1 (Sigur Rós) / YouTube - Chau Coco - Ensoñado ensayo

3. Falling in love: First day of my life (Bright Eyes) / YouTube - La Manzana Cromática Protoplasmática - Barriletes

4. Fighting: Dawn of victory (Rhapsody)

5. Break up: Say it ain't so (Weezer)

6. "Life's great"/moving on: Satellite of Love (Velvet underground) / YouTube - Armandinho - Semente

7. Mental breakdown: Knives Out (Radiohead) / Thickets (Patrick Wolf)

8: Driving: Water Curses (Animal Collective)

9. Flashbacks: The biggest lie (Elliott Smith)

10: Happy dance: YouTube - The Rasmus Sophia / YouTube - Los parraleños haciendo video megadeth

11: Regreting: Everybody's gotta learn sometimes (Beck) / YouTube - Vuelvas a casa - Coiffeur

12: Final battle: Hexagram (Deftones)

13: Death scene: Teardrop (José Gonzalez)

14: Ending titles: Blackbird (The Beatles) / Dry the Rain (The Beta Band)

Ignoring the music entirely, this looks like it would be a really bad movie.

probably, but the point of it all is the music so...

Eh, this would pretty much sum up my life:



Not really.

But I have to check out some of those Spanish-language bands. I'm always trying to discover new Spanish music but it's pretty hard for me considering I live in the U.S, maybe I should just get an account with a Spanish-language music forum.

The only Argentine bands, actually band, I know is Babasonicos, although it's really hard finding their stuff online to download. One of these days you should start a Argentina/Latin American-themed music journal, that would definitely be interesting.

Well, I'm an avant-garde guy so I'd hope my life would be something like Naked City's Torture Garden but it actually is something more like 4'33... Especially those intimate moments.

There you go. Sex and violence. I have a movie.

Into the Wild - Eddie Vedder

That entire soundtrack is how I feel about my life, but I'm the first one to raise my hand and agree that its hard to live that life.

Well, here at Music Banter we are doing an introduction, trying to show the most important figures:

Especially those from the golden age of Spanish-language rock and pop (80's and early 90's), which is splendid in quantity and quality. And as I said there, for the moment we have only explored the "tip of the iceberg". OK, I know we should have posted more frequently. Sorry. :( Personally, I haven't had enough time lately, but now I'll try to attend to the thread. And Clementine has promised to help me with the magnificent Argentines from the 70's. :) That is, the precursors of the Spanish-language rock. Stay tuned. Regarding Babasónicos and other stuff, check your PM. http://i918.photobucket.com/albums/a...miley/wink.gif

Anyway, we already have mentioned several Argies in that thread. For instance, now we're talking about the soundtrack of our lives, if I think of... let's say.... school, a rock-&-roll comes to mind. I guess we all remember our school days. And I bet many of us would describe them as Tequila (a famous Argentine-Spanish band from the early 80's) did (here you are a translation). Well, that's my personal example because I attended elementary school in that decade. :)

If my life were an independent film, more in the vein of Gus van Sant or Wes Anderson, I'd be able to see any of these songs being included:

Elvis Costello - Pills and Soap


Richard and Linda Thompson - The End of the Rainbow


John Howard - The Dilemma of the Homosapien


The Mountain Goats - Oceanographer's Choice


Mike Gordon - Take Me Out, Pt. 2

Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna


Your life can't be any more epic :)

I wouldn't have any music in my movie.

my life would be shot in verite-style, filled with existentialist angst and ennui

and the recurring background song would be Neu!'s Hullogallo

Soundtrack of my life? 'The Greatest Love of All' - Whitney Houston

I had severe depression during my college year, and this song reminds me to stand up on my own foot again and build a new life. It was not easy, even now I'm not finished building my own life... By listening to this song, it reminds me to keep on my life track.

Nuff Said.
