...this is the soundtrack to my life.

Sometimes I always wonder what songs would play in the background/music score if my life was a movie. There would be a song for:

elevator rides

the awkward silences

episodic moments of profound truth

break-ups + make-ups

SPIRIT WEEK

first dates

moments of extreme confusion or lack of direction

triumph

anger/rage

deep emotion

sunny days

etc.

No silence. Just music -- sweet, sweet notes of emotion to set the mood. 

Reflecting upon this idea of a "soundtrack to my life" I came across some songs that I feel would describe me pretty well. They would totes be playing in the background if my life was ever documented on film. So here's the playlist for the weekend/my little soundtrack:

1. Nostrand: Ratatat

2. Samba da Bencao: Bebel Gilberto

3. Bright Lights, Bigger City: Cee-Lo Green

4. Embers: Jus Jack

5. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing): Michael Jackson

6. Walking on a Dream: Empire of the Sun

7. Empire State of Mind: Jay-Z + Alicia Keys maybe I'll be in NYC this summer? Cross 'em fingers! 

8. Let It Rock: Kevin Rudolf

9. Superstar: Lupe Fiasco

10. Black and Gold: Sam Sparro

11. Dice: Finley Quaye

12. You Don't Know Me (feat. Regina Spektor): Ben Folds

13. Over My Head (Cable Car): The Fray
