My Life Needs a Soundtrack



Just thought I'd give you all something to listen to while reading today. Now I'm missing Pres and my Skyward Sword...

Anyways, I find it interesting in movies how there's almost always music playing, just to underscore the emotions that the scene is portraying. Whether it's a break-up scene, a reunion scene, an epic battle sequence, the music really helps push that theme through. So I was thinking, why doesn't life have that? A soundtrack so people know we're feeling epic or scared or heartbroken.

Wait, that would be a bad thing. Then we'd be overwhelmed by everyone's soundtracks and we'd never be able to listen to one another. Guess it's a good thing we don't have a personal orchestra trailing us.

Also, whenever the music gets amped up in a scary part of the movie, I know that the second the music calms down, the scary monster is gonna leap from the shadows and scare the pants off everyone. Seriously, watch any scary movie where the music builds up. 9 times out of ten, the scary part will happen AFTER the music has calmed down. Just a fun fact I noticed.
