The soundtrack of your biography
Inspired in darklinensuit post about performers for your movie, list ten songs for the soundtrack of your movie version biography. Mine would be:
It never rains in Southern California (for my childhood) Twilight - ELO (for the early 80s) Bohemian Rhapsody (early 80s) Eye in the Sky (mid 80s) La Incondicional - Luis Miguel (for the late 80s) Tusk (my memories circa 1990) A Little Respect (early 90s) La Bilirrubina - Juan Luis Guerra (early 90s too) Silver Springs (circa 1997) Pina Colada song (2001) |
I think these songs would have to be included in my bio:
Ordinary World-Duran Duran Storms-FM Fixing a Hole-Beatles Beautiful Night-Paul McCartney No More Lonely Nights-Paul McCartney Bitch-Meredith Brooks Two of Us-Beatles Perhaps a tune from Smoky Mountain Christmas-my all-time favorite movie lol.. These are just some songs that have been a part of my life in one way or another...I'm sure there are more..but I'm lazy and don't want to think of them at this moment :) |
Mr. E's Beautiful Blues (the Eels) -- for my childhood among the carnival outlaws
I Want Out of the Circus (Cracker) -- for my running away from the circus at the age of 10 Never Going Back Again (FM) -- for that three-year gig as a gas station attendant and moonlighting as street corner acapella singer Graceland (Paul Simon) -- Hello, Memphis Get Off This (Cracker) -- For that brief early-20s slacker period Surrender the Rain (Lindsey) -- for my "lost summer" in the Caribbean followed by my stint in Budapest wishing I were in Prague Hey Bulldog (Beatles) -- for miscellaneous scenes as appropriate Love Is Amazing (traditional) -- well, you know... Not that Funny (FM) -- for my years as a newspaperman Everything (me) -- because, in the end, it all comes back to love and home. |
