What is the soundtrack to your life?

I wanted to use an artsy shot of sheet music but I am an enjoyer of music, not a maker. In my next life time, if there is one, I will play the cello and piano.

A fun exercise in procrastination when I should be writing…

If my life was a movie…

Opening Credits – Wake up this Day by Tom Misch.

Waking Up – Corner of the Earth by Jamiroquai.

First Day of School – When I was Young by Mo. I had absolutely no idea what was going on.

Falling in Love – Shoop by Salt’n’Pepa. No, I am not kidding.

An ending – Mr Jones by The Counting Crows followed by Cries too Hard by The Whitlams, then Hey Jealousy by the Gin Blossoms.

LIFE – Part of the Process by Morcheeba, then Paris by The Chainsmokers

Mental Breakdown – Too Drunk to F*ck by Nouvelle Vague then Sour Times by Portishead

Career – The theme song from The Benny Hill Show. It’s been a circus…

have a listen…it’ll make you laugh…

Wedding – I’m kissing you by Des’ree. My hubby and I walked up the aisle together and I can’t recall the song that was playing but the Des’ree song from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet was playing as we signed the register. It wasn’t prescient; we didn’t die horribly in a murder-suicide pact.

Honeymoon– Standing in a market street behind Church of San Michele in Florence, I heard The Sea by Morcheeba wafting from a music store. Remember music stores?

Birth of a Child – Cello Suite No1 in G Major by JSBach performed by Yo-yo Ma. My son is a cellist so it’s fitting. Maybe he should perform it!

Flashback – Maybe it’s Time by Bradley Cooper. sigh…

Death scene – I Go To Sleep performed by Sia. Bring your tissues.

Funeral Song – Boys of Summer by Don Henley. For as long as I can remember this has been the song I want played at my funeral.

End Credits – Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
