I don't know about you guys, but I tend to see the world as one big movie I play the leading role in. And every good movie has a great soundtrack to match the pictures.
If your life indeed was a movie, which songs would you add to the following 'scenes'?
Waking up: The Beatles - Here Comes The Sun
First schoolday: Belle and Sebastian - The Boy With The Arab Strap
Falling in love: Yann Tiersen : Watching Lara
Breaking up: Yann Tiersen - Le Moulin
Living: Elastica - 2:1
Mental Breakdown: Radiohead - Last Flowers Till Hospital
Getting up again after the breakdown: Patrick Wolf - Paris
Getting back together with your lover: Leafcutter John - Seba
The day you marry: La Valse D'Amelie, Version Orchestrale.
The birth of your child : Debussy - Claire De La Lune
Divorce : Rolling Stones - Angie
The day you die : Radiohead - Videotape.
As you see, I filled mine in already.

Three Yann Tiersens? Your life can't be just like Amélie's, you know. Much as I'd like mine to be.  I might do this later, I always like this idea. |

Goodness this was difficult! But seeing as cinematic lifestyles must of course require equally cinematic soundtracks, I have thus assembled appropriate songs for each situation you've assigned. 'Twas good fun stabbing around in my itunes.  Waking up: "First Song" by Andrew Bird First schoolday: "Rainbows in the Dark" by Tilly and the Wall Falling in love: "Delicate" by Damien Rice Breaking up: "We Get On" by Kate Nash Living: "Godrevy Point (XFM version)" by Patrick Wolf Mental Breakdown: "Our Trip" by The Thermals Getting up again after the breakdown: "Waste of Paint" by Bright Eyes Getting back together with your lover: "Lover, You Should've Come Over" by Jeff Buckley The day you marry: "La Javanaise" by Madeleine Peyroux The birth of your child: "Thomas and Martha" by The Lucksmiths Divorce: "Ode to Divorce" by Regina Spektor The day you die: "Don't Be Scared" by Andrew Bird |

Getting up again after the breakdown: "Waste of Paint" by Bright Eyes That song would NOT help me recover from a breakdown. It's slowly leading me into one. Petra, note that I said "three Yann Tiersens" not "three songs from Amélie", but apologies for implying it? It was a joke. Bah. |

This was really hard, even though I gave up on not repeating artists. I could make a life soundtrack using only Pulp easily- they sort of already are my life soundtrack.
Waking up: This is the Dream of Win and Regine –Final Fantasy
First schoolday: Dogs are Everywhere- Pulp
Falling in love: Disco 2000- Pulp
Breaking up: Black-Hearted Boy- Fiery Furnaces
Living: Brazil- Arcade Fire (cover)
Mental Breakdown: Look At Her Face – The Coral Sea
Getting up again after the breakdown: The Fallen- Franz Ferdinand
Getting back together with your lover: Enchanted- Patrick Wolf
The day you marry: Just Can’t Get Enough- Nouvelle Vague (cover)
The birth of your child: Paris 1919- Final Fantasy (cover.)
Divorce: They Suffocate At Night- Pulp
The day you die: We Will All Go Together When We Go – Tom Lehrer
The hardest one to do was birth of child.. I can't think of what song I'd want for that.

I grabbed another one, because I'm self-centered and wanted more questions. I still don't like this one, though.
Waking up: Under Pressure - David Bowie/Freddie fucking Mercury or Pigeon Song - Patrick Wolf
Falling in love: I'll go with realreal love, and not the first. Dolores - Frank Sinatra & Tommy Dorsey.
Breaking up: The Cactus Where Your Heart Should Be - Magnetic Fields (My ex made a mix, which is an AMAZING mix, about our relationship. This is the last song on it and meant as, Stop Being a Cactus Heart, Killoran.)
Mental breakdown: Monochrome - Dominique A

The birth of your child: Not happening, but if it could
Divorce: Um.. either Whisky Lullaby - Alison Krauss/Brad Paisley, The Scarlet Tide - Alison Krauss, orrrrr.. most likely Man Of The Hour - Pearl Jam.. most permanent for of divorce. Wah.
Learning to love again: Enchanted - Patrick Wolf! or Cello Suite No. 1 - Yo Yo Ma playing Mr. Bach
Fight Song: Danse Macabre - Camille Saint-Saens. Awesome.
Partying: Wanna Mess You Around - Pavement
Happy dance: Feels Like I'm In Love - Patrick Wolf version!
Long night alone: Halelujah - Jeff Buckley
The day you die: Komm Susser Todd - Arianne. That's all I can think of.
God that's lame. I need like.. specific times and whatnot or I just get frustrated. Wah. Life is hard.
