Be the Change

If my life was a movie...

This would be the soundtrack:


Opening Credits:
"Circus Freak Love Triangle" by Hierosonic
https://www.myspace.com/hierosonic

I will forever be infatuated with the music of this band. I love them and everything they do.


Waking Up:
"Track 5" by Muse
https://www.myspace.com/muse

Apparently my media player couldn't find the info for this album. Probably because it's a burned copy, like most of my CDs. This is the song where he sings, "This is the last time I'll abandon you." (I'm really bad with remembering track titles)

Oh my God, I love Muse.


First Day of School:
"Jack and Sally Montage" by Danny Elfman
https://www.myspace.com/nightmare3d

I could listen to the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack until the end of time and still love it. Danny Elfman is a freaking genius! I mean, just listen to the theme to Beetlejuice!


Falling in Love:
"Quiet Voices" by Lola Ray
https://www.myspace.com/lolaray

Lola Ray makes me go *sigh*


Death (to some one else):
"Wheelchair" by Ajar
https://www.myspace.com/ajarrocks

I really miss Ajar. It's been 3 weeks, four days and 17 hours since I've seen them. That's entirely too long. I think we should all just move in together already. Whaddya say, guys?


Fight Song:
"Where Love Won't Go" by The Mint
https://www.myspace.com/themintonline

One of the more recent additions to my collection, I was astounded by their performance at the Verus Music Festival, as was everyone else present, I believe. Their drummer looks very much like a friend of mine. I was a little distracted while they played, trying to figure out if it really was the same guy. It wasn't.


Failure:
"Freak" by 722
https://www.myspace.com/722music

Like everyone else, I miss them. I still listen to their CD all the time. They loved the review Mr. J wrote, and he still talks about that.


Life:
"Wooly Muffler" by Harvey Danger
https://www.myspace.com/hdanger

"All I ever wanted to be was a wooly muffler on your naked neck. Double wrap me when you're cold." I had this complete obsession with this album when I discovered it years ago. Come to think of it, the obsession never really stopped... One of the best albums ever.


Driving:
"Number One Blind" by Veruca Salt
https://www.myspace.com/verucasalt

Louise gave me a purple rose once.


Flashback:
"I Own You" by Protein

Where are these guys and why don't they make music anymore?

"I own you, baby. It'll always be that way."


Victory:
"House of Wolves" by My Chemical Romance
https://www.myspace.com/mychemicalromance

I still feel cheated by those two shows that got cancelled. Hey, I understand food poisoning, but still... These boys make me weak in the knees.


End:
"I Can't Make You Love Me by City Sleeps
https://www.myspace.com/citysleeps

I've been waiting over two years for their album that was just released, and it was worth the wait. I can't wait to see them again. I'm literally counting the hours (only about 3, actually).


For me, good music gives me chills. All these songs and all these bands do just that. Currently there are only 20 bands in my library. That's due partly to my computer getting f***ed up over and over and I keep losing everything. But it's also because I don't listen to music that doesn't give me chills.
