Soundtrack of my life...today at least

So a couple weeks ago Steph sent us this survey that was passed onto her. You're supposed to create the soundtrack for your life, and fill in songs for each category. Well I decided to try this tonight, and it took me forever. It was so hard. I imagine if I did this again in 6 months, all the songs would change because that's just how I roll.

Opening credits: Let's Go – The Cars

Waking up: Manic Monday – The Bangles

Average day: Holiday From Real – Jack's Mannequin

First date: Mad About You – Belinda Carlisle

Falling in Love: On a Night Like This – Dave Barnes
Ed. note: Okay seriously, you guys, if you don't know this song, go listen to it right now. I'm not sure that there exists a more beautiful and romantic song out there. Be careful making eye contact with strangers who are sitting near you when you listen to this because you might actually fall in love with them, and what if it turns out to be Otis who lives in Pee Alley? You don't want that-believe me. By the way my second choice for this category was "Before You" by Chantal Kreviazuk. Be a cuter song.

Love Scene: Stolen – Dashboard Confessional
Ed. note: Just whatever. This song is amazing. If you don't think so, you are wrong. Second choice for this one was "Fall From Grace" by Amanda Marshall.

Fight Scene: Beat It – Michael Jackson
Ed. note: I like my fight scenes to be heavily choreographed with dance moves (eg., dance knife fight).

Breaking up: Love's Light – Vertical Horizon
Ed. note: How sad is it that within like 5 minutes I had roughly 20 songs for this category. I picked this one because it makes me want to kill myself. No, no-seriously I picked it because if it's supposed to be a soundtrack of my life, this one hits home the most. Other top contenders: "20,000 Seconds" by K's Choice and "Forget About It" by Alison Krauss.

Getting Back Together: Lonely Boy – Black Lab

Secret Love: Secret - Heart

Life’s Okay: It's a Great Day to Be Alive – Travis Tritt

Mental Breakdown: The Con – Tegan and Sara

Driving: Holiday Road – Lindsey Buckingham
Ed. note: This one was also super hard because I have a lot of driving songs. I ultimately went with "Holiday Road" because, I mean, it's from "Vacation" and there is nothing better than that. Other favorites: "Life is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts, "Late Night Radio" by Beth Wood, "Midnight Rider" by The Allman Brothers and "Road Trippin'" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Learning A Lesson: Why Not Now – Alissa Moreno
Ed. note: My second choice here was "Say" by John Mayer. By the way that may be one of the most beautiful songs ever. I'm ranking it in the top 3 songs released in 2008. The other 2 appear later in this list.

Deep Thought: Courage – Glen Phillips

Flashback: I Wanna Go Back – Eddie Money
Ed. note: Second choice: "Summertime" by New Kids on the Block. Obviously in the top 3 for 2008. Have you seen the video? 1-Joey is ridiculously hot. Like I mean it's almost sickening how hot he is. 2 - Jordan is hot. Even Donnie doesn't look that bad. In fact, I'd say they all look better with age. Does that mean I am old? 3 - Donnie has a hat on crooked. 4 - They vogue on the beach. 5 - They do a dance which ends with the Hangin' Tough arm wave. IfuckinglovetheNewKidsseriously.

Partying: Photograph – Def Leppard
Ed. note: Duh.

Happy Dance: Forever – Chris Brown
Ed. note: #1 best song of 2008. I listen to this song-no exaggeration-about 18 times a day. Chris Brown is amazing. He has a one way ticket to the stratosphere of stardom and is getting there fast. Just watch him dance. It will blow your mind. Plus he is a hot little piece. Mmm-hmm.

Regretting: It's Not True – William Fitzsimmons

Long Night Alone: Alone – Lisa Loeb

Death Scene: Dead Man's Will – Iron & Wine w/ Calexico

Closing Credits: Current of Love – David Hasselhoff
Ed. note: This is totally the end credits to "Baywatch". Yeah I did.

Other people should do this and either put your answers in the comments or let me know you posted it. If you want to borrow the David Hasselhoff song, you can. I won't be mad.
