Splashing In Puddles of Sand

MUSIC TO MY EARS

On my way home from work as I was playing this song on my Ipod I started imagining what it would be like to have your own movie, and pick out all the songs that influence you, and that feel like they are a part of you, to be in your movie. So I started thinking about what I would put on my soundtrack. I am such a schizo that I would need like 5 soundtracks for the moods I would be in while watching the movie. Sometimes happy sometimes quiet sometimes hyper sometimes excited sometimes hopeful sometimes depressed. A lot of songs I would feature are song lyrics that I have posted up here. Matchbox 20 would steal the scene. They would be the feature band, because they get me through everything, and I owe them at least a spot on my soundtrack...at least that :) Coldplay would be on my depression soundtrack, because Chris Martin always understands. These songs, Such Great Heights by The Postal Service and Rooster's To Die For would be on my hopeful soundtrack. Because they have hope that love really is out there. There's always hope.

Over the past three years I've gotten into the whole 'underground' scene of music. I like discovering new artists. I like to have something playing for months beofre it is on the radio. I like feeling like I've discovered the world's best-kept-secret. And sometimes I feel bad when they start to get famous. haha. I get almost jealous when I hear Damien Rice everywhere...because he's Irish and he's been on my cd player for years before everyone else knew who he was. I wanted to go to the Rooster concert when everyone was still saying 'Rooster? Who?' Kaiser Chiefs, the Killers...(I owe those to you Bri!)I like being ahead of everyone.

So maybe on my soundtrack I would just have a line up of totally new acts. New to the world. Brought to you by Rhona. Maybe it would open people's eyes a bit. I like to experience new things...new places, new foods, new music.

Who would be on your soundtrack???

Such Great Heights by The Postal Service

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled
Head when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...

I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home



To Die For By Rooster

How can it hurt
When I feel no pain
How can it heal
If I look the same

I've been searching all my mornings
For the last breath of a dream
Are you drowning or just waving
'Cos im tearing at the seams

I wanna live
And I wanna breath
Always thought you'd be the one to set me free
But I can forgive
'Cos you make me believe in something more
Now I only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for
Find somebody to die for

How can you lose
if its not a game
How can you love
if you're never going to change

Gonna find my way
Through this maze of my desire
Come what may bitter love or wasted time
You might say
I'm chasing shadows in my mind
But there's a light that guides my way to all I live for
Somebody to die for
