Life is a Mixtape: Side B.

So I decided to give my life as a mix tape another shot, after all there is more than one mix tape that can be made to describe you life and I think this collection of songs will be better suited for my biography. Last time I was using every play list I had and choosing a song from each one randomly. Now i have one long playlist so the selection should be better. So here we go my life on Side B of the mix tape:

Opening Credits:
Take On Me by A-Ha (i can deal with that...my life begins in the 80s)

Waking Up:
Little Red Corvette by Prince(I must see the girl of my dreams in a dream and she is walking pass me)

Falling in Love:
haha Never Gonna Give you Up by Rick Astley (remeber that "Family Guy" episode...think along the lines of that. But this is song is so true)

Fight scene:
Sweet Caroline (what kind of fight is this)

Breaking up:
How I could just kill a Man (great song but probably for her unless I want to kill the other guy)

Getting back together:
After Tonight by Justin Nozuka (A good love song...somber but sweet)

Secret Love:
I know by Jack Johnson (Another good choice for loving in love with the other girl)

Mental breakdown:
Light and Day by The Polyphonic Spree (this in a weird way is perfect breakdown song)

Driving:
Summertime by New Kids on The Block (oh the perils of young love as I cruise along the beach)

Flashback:
Love (is like a Heatwave): Martha and The Vandellas (great 60's/70s songs where I could remember being in love)

Partying:
Moving Mountains by Usher(the slow dance?)

Happy dance:
Shadow of the day by Linkin Park (skeptical that I would listen to this as my happy song)

Regretting:
You've lost that loving feeling (Brings me back to the good ol' Top Gun days but amazing song none the less describing loss)

Long night alone:
If you leave me now by Chicago (wow my life is definitely either an 80s john hughes movie or a 70s sitcom)


Death scene:
Living on a Prayer by Bon Jovi (This is a pretty epic death!)

Ending credits:
Grow old with you by Adam Sandler from The Wedding Singer (such a sweet song about being in love)

reflection of side B: Besides for a few skeptical choices such as Linkin park for my party song I found this mix tape to be vastly different and far more satisfying as a testament to my life. It covers the vast spaces of pop culture and ultimately reflects me as a consumer of the culture as well as a relater of the culture. Way to go mix tape side B. Now maybe I can get John Hughes to write my life story and Howard Deutch to direct and I am set.

p.s. in case you don't realize it but Deutch directed "pretty in pink" and "Some Kind of Wonderful" both written by John Hughes.
