All my life I have wished that there would be a soundtrack playing in the background; appropriate mood music for that exact moment...like something fun and pop-y while I'm out on the town, or something melancholy while I'm contemplating breaking up with someone, something inspiring and uplifting as I start a new job...you know...like in the movies. Even if I didn't already have a crush on Jack Black, I would have fell in love with him (or rather, his character) after watching "The Holiday" just because he could provide personalized soundtrack music for me...sigh. A girl can dream.
There have been times in my life where I've tried to create appropriate music for the situation. Jaclyn and I would often work towards this...but it's a tricky undertaking. Until the latest love of my life arrived...my iPod. It has become the mobile soundtrack for my life!! Walking to work feeling reflective and pensive -Sara Groves "Add to the Beauty"! Running by the ocean on a sunny day - Chantal Kreviazuk "Waiting for the Sun"! Doing laundry at the laundromat - Barenaked Ladies "Easy"...and TA DA my life has a soundtrack!! I just did a contented sigh right there. It's a happy day now that my mood music can come everywhere with me. My only concern is that I'm frequently tempted to sing aloud with the music. I'm pretty sure the day will come when I find myself singing outloud while walking along Fort Street. So if you happen to drive past, just honk and remind me that I'm not in the privacy of my own home!
And if you are looking for some good soundtrack music, may I suggest the following:
The Weepies "Somebody Loved" and "The World Spins Madly On"
Mat Kearney "All I Need"
Beyonce "Irreplaceable" (a particularly good one for feeling single and fabulous! ;)
Coldplay "Fix You"
Corrine Bailey Rae "Put Your Records On"
Okay friends - have a happy day!! And enjoy the music!
