I've always thought that if you loved music, you tried to apply it to your life in a cinematic way. Now, I might be wrong, but I find myself walking around, doing things, and making up a rough soundtrack in my head. It's fascinating to try to apply music you love to things you do. And sometimes, you don't apply songs you like to your life, but bad songs. Because after all, I do things all the time that I don't like doing, and those things deserve bad songs. I feel like I should start compiling a list of the songs that go with the moments, but the truth is, there aren't very many.
I mean, I have a really hard time actually scoring my life. I think it's a neat idea, but it's too abstract. Even songs I really like I have a hard time fitting to moments. So this is an idea I think about all the time, but have a hard time applying to my life. I want a soundtrack to my life, but I can't figure out how to make one. Maybe it's too much hubris, supposing that I'm important enough to have my own soundtrack. If I get really inspired, maybe I'll really start a list of songs that would be on my soundtrack, but I don't see that happening.
And for the record, I really thought that an iPod was your own soundtrack, but sadly, it's just too much work for me to make it so.
