The Soundtrack of Your Life
Opening Credits: "Devil is a Loser" - Lordi. (Heavy metal always makes a good starting point.)
Waking Up: "Break Stuff" - Limp Bizkit. (I am not a morning person. Never have been, never will be and SHUT THE HELL UP!)
Average Day: "Clint Eastwood" - Gorillaz. (I ain't happy, but I'm feelin' glad . . perfect for defining my days at school. And at home, too.)
First Date: "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down. (This was the song that played in my truck on our first date, and ever since then, it's been a fond-memory instigator.)
Falling in love: "Would You Love a Monsterman" - Lordi (Best Beloved noted that it really does fit our relationship. And I found it FIRST!)
Love Scene: Either "You Shook Me All Night Long" or "Givin' the Dog a Bone" -AC/DC. (So true. Yeah, that's all the info you get.)
Fight Scene: Good God, how do I choose? Metallica's "Battery", AC/DC - "Hells Bells", "Click Click Boom" by Saliva . . the list goes on and on. Anything with a strong beat and lyrics you can howl to is good for a no-holds-barred, knock-down, drag-out-and-curb-stomp street brawl.
Breaking Up: Easy. Ace of Base - "Don't Turn Around". (Because nothing's worse than showing them you hurt.)
Secret love: Falling in Love (is Hard on the Knees) -Aerosmith. (Except a secret love that you can't do a damned thing about. It's like a pair of bad dress shoes. They hurt your feet terribly and you have to live with them because you can't afford anything better.)
Life's okay: "Cheap Sunglasses" -ZZ Top. ( A sunny autumn day, young women walking by in tight pants, and sunglasses. Of these things is a wonderful Saturday made.)
Mental breakdown: Linkin Park "Easier to Run". (Because facing your own personal inner demons is the most difficult thing in all of creation to do).
Driving: Any fight song can heroically do double duty for driving. Really. The art of driving, done correctly, can be just as visceral an experience as the first time you knock someone unconscious in a fight.
Learning a lesson: "The Impression That I Get" -The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. The impression that I get is that the only thing that people learn from is experience. Usually bad experience, repeated ad nauseaum.
Deep thought: "Under the Bridge" -Red Hot Chilli Peppers. (No reason, no logic, just good backbeat music to force my brain into introspection mode.)
Flashback: "What's the Frequency, Kenneth" -REM. (Chris and I had this song in the stereo ALL THE TIME in our first year at GT.)
Partying: "Weapon of Choice" -Fatboy Slim. If it can make Christopher Fucking Walken get down, it can't be all bad.
Happy Dance: Only once choice here: Bob Seger and "Old Time Rock and Roll". Because SHUT UP, that's why.
Regretting: "Somewhere I Belong" -Linkin Park. Regret is the single most poisonous emotion I have ever encountered.
Long Night Alone: George Thorogood and the Destroyers - "I Drink Alone". Nowadays, that's how I drink. Besides, no one likes dealing with drunk melancholy Irish-Americans.
Death Scene: "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" - Green Day. (Best. Death. Song. Ever.)
Closing Credits: "Switchback" -Celldweller. If your end-song doesn't rock, what was the point?
