Soundtrack My Life! (a meme)

Inspired by [livejournal.com profile] villainny, made up by [livejournal.com profile] schiarire, hosted here.

If you were soundtracking my life, what kind of musical accompaniment would you suggest?

To request a soundtrack: comment below with your name, under the appropriate heading, and then link to your comment in your LJ so that your friends can come and suggest things. (Please PUT YOUR LJ NAME AS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR COMMENT, for ease of browsing the meme.)

To suggest songs: find people you know and give them your suggestions! Links to uploaded tracks are welcome but not compulsory.

Feel free to be as structured as you please: suggest the credits song, the Epic Love Story song, or the song for that uplifting moment at the film's emotional climax. Or just throw in anything that you think suits that person's life.

PIMP FAR, PIMP WIDE.

The unnamed narrator, a struggling hermit's apprentice, is in love with the talented, frothy, and adorable Ellita, exotic princess, undercover government scientist, and genius savant in training. We meet her in a lavish banquet hall, flitting about like the social butterfly that she is, tantalizing socialites and politicians and business moguls alike with her latest theory on the relationship between particle physics and the falling rate of antique Bösendorfer pianofortes. The credits end as the camera, for no reason, hovers over the City of Light and swoops, hawk-style, sucked by gravity, through the seething barrier of vicious humanity clad crassly in the latest spring fashion to linger lovingly over the carved details of a white marble wall, in the hallowed halls of the Sorbonne.

What promises to be a heartfelt, meticulous and well-intentioned yet ultimately doomed to critical and financial failure indie flick follows, complete with inappropriately twee soundtrack.


i. {Mirah} La Familia - i really like it, this rock and roll / makes me want a little sugar in my bowl / it's like the glory days, it's like a fortune sold

ii. {Iron & Wine} Swans and the Swimming - walking away at the dark end of day / she will measure and break like a habit

iii. {Seabear} I Sing I Swim - wash your face in the lake / you've got a diamond under your skin

iv. {Sufjan Stevens} They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!!They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhhh! - i'm not so young, i'm not so fast

v. {T-Rex} Ride a White Swan - catch a bright star and a place it on your forehead / say a few spells and baby, there you go

vi. {Songs: Ohia} Captain Badass - will you stand up for your one chance / will you stand up for love / we get no second chance in this life

vii. {Voxtrot} Easy - but when you're lost in your rights / when you are selfish and mean / you are the ugliest person that I have ever seen

viii. {LFO} Girl on TV - Oh I am not even kidding. Ever seen the movie Notting Hill? Well this isn't really like that. Because it's stalkerish. And dumb. You should have known your fabulousness would backfire on you one day.
