Soundtrack of My Life
Published by simon on March 9, 2006I’m busy reading this cool blog recently, Jay’s Malaysian Diary, by this 27-year old German university student. He’s in Malaysia for 6 months for an internship with Siemens, and I’m really digging all his posts… You got to like a German guy who thinks Malaysia is fabulous.
Reading his posts inspired me to write a something about my fantastic grasp of German, (”ist Ihre Tochter 18 Jahre alt?”) but that would be later, i found another of Jay’s post i simply must write about now.
Its sort of a meme, except it doesn’t propagate itself via tagging… so its not evil… but I’m turning into a meme-tag for the sake for torturing those bloggers who love music just like me. Anyway, read on and you’ll know what it’s about.
I’m actually in the midst of selecting some songs to use in this play I’m writing, so I running through my mind trying to remember all the songs from my past…
- One song… from your early childhood:
Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks (yes, the tragic original, not the desecration a few years ago) - One song… you are associating with your first big love:
Love of a Lifetime - Firehouse (gawd, does this bring back memories) - One song… which reminds you to one of your holidays:
Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season) - The Byrds (it’s from the Forrest Gump soundtrack) - One song… you like, but you have got to problems to confess:
You’ll See - Madonna - One song… which accompanied you, while you where lovesick:
Se A Vide E - Pet Shop Boys (its a long story) - One song… you listened to most often in your life:
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica (one of many, actually…) - One song… which is your most favoured instrumental:
actually can’t think of one… maybe something old… - One song… which represents one of your most favoured bands:
Unforgiven II - Metallica (the lyrics still give me the creeps. After all this while) - One song… in which you recognizes yourself or through which you feel somehow understood:
Simple Man - Whitecross (i dunno, I always think the song was written for me.) - One song… which reminds you to a certain occasion (and the occasion):
Herz Aus Stahl - Manowar (I was finishing my final year thesis… and the title is mentioned on the front page!) - One song… you like an which belongs to the Hip Hop / Rap genre:
Believe Me - Fort Minor - One song… which is the best for you to relax:
Moonlight Shadow - Mike Oldfield - One song… which symbolizes a great time in your life:
Forever And One - Helloween (First job, falling in love, the world before me… I wonder where it all went wrong) - One song… which is your most favourite song at the moment:
Because of You - Kelly Clarkson - One song… which you would dedicate to your best friend:
Ammonia Avenue - The Alan Parsons Project - One song… where you have got the feeling that no one besides you likes it:
I Miss the Rain - Bride (see? You haven’t even heard of it…!) - One song… you like because of its lyrics:
Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm - Crash Test Dummies (i just love the words!) - One song… you like very much and which is neither german nor english:
Patahnya Sayap Malam by Masa (I would have gone for Fantasia Bulan Madu, but that was too obvious…?) - One song… which helps you to work off:
I Just Want You - Ozzy Osbourne - One song… which should be played on your funeral:
Face to Face - King James (I doubt anyone else in Malaysia even knows the band, let alone the song)
Okay, I’m turning this into a vicious meme… I’m tagging the following music lovers:
