What better way to start the day than a meme?

(Well, a meme and RPing smut.)

Your Life: The Soundtrack
So here’s how it works:
Open your choice of music player [iTunes, Limewire, Kazaa, etc.] and put it on shuffle.
Press play.
For every question type the song that’s on.
And when you go to a new question press the next button.
No cheating.
Ready?
GO!


Opening credit: Skye by Runrig (It's hard to believe / But memories are old ghosts / Mountains of black and gold / Sunsets falling over the moor)

Waking up: Automatic by Less than Jake (And things are automatic when you see them everyday / is it the same routine / or just your fucked up dreams / that keep you walking mindless all the way)

Average day: Every Day I Love You Less And Less by the Kaiser Chiefs (I know, I feel it in my bones / I'm sick and tired of staying in control / Oh yes, I feel a rat upon a wheel / I've got to know what's not and what is real)

First date: Freaking Out by Adema (Why am I even trying? / I'm crying out, I'm crying out / I cannot seem to keep from freaking out)

Falling in love: Ballad of Serenity by Sonny Rhodes (Take me out to the black / Tell 'em I ain't comin' back)

Fight scene: Quasimodo by Lifehouse (does it scare you that I can /be something different than you / would it make you feel more comfortable if I wasn't / you can't control me / and you can't take away from me who I am)

Breaking up: Sexe by Saez (Mets ta langue où tu sais / Non ne t'arrête pas / Continue de lécher / Que j'aime quand tu fais ça)

Getting back together: It's a Fire by Portishead (So let it be known / For what we believe in / I can see no reason / For it to fail.)

Life's okay: Take Back by Green Day (Cold-cocked and I'm taking back what's mine / Expect it when you're least expecting it / No loss of love, the smell of regret)

Mental breakdown: Coffee & TV by Blur (Do you feel like a chain store / Practically floored / One of many zeros / Kicked around bored)

Driving: She Is My Sin by Nightwish (Lead astray the gazers / The razors on your seducing skin / In the meadow of sinful thoughts / Every flower's a perfect one)

Flashback: This Cocaine Makes Me Feel Like I'm On This Song by System of a Down (I can't see your souls, souls through through your eyes / The crying walls of sliding architecture / Kidnapped by the likes of pure conjecture / Upholstery loving men all dwelling in the wells)

Partying: In The End by Linkin Park (Time is a valuable thing / Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings / Watch it count down 'till the end of the day / The clock ticks life away / It's so unreal…)

Happy dance: People Ain't No Good by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (It ain't that in their hearts they're bad / They can comfort you, some even try / They nurse you when you're ill of health / They bury you when you go and die)

Regretting: Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine by the Killers (We took a walk that night but it wasn't the same / We had a fight on the promenade out in the rain / She said she loved me, but she had somewhere to go / She couldn't scream while I held her close / I swore I'd never let her go)

Long night alone: She Knows by Four Star Mary (she flies from a blinding light / and spirals to my heart / i try to find my mind / but don't know where to start)

Death scene: Undenied by Portishead (Now that I've found you / And seen behind those eyes / How can I / Carry on / For so bare is my heart / I can't hide / And so where does my heart / Belong)

End credits: I've Got A Woman by Ray Charles (She saves her lovin just for me oh she love me so tenderly / I got a woman way over town that's good to me oh yeah)


Which leads me to ask a few questions. First and foremost, what the hell was iTunes on when it picked those songs? But also: who put a Linkin Park CD on my iTunes? (pee_wai? Though I can't fathom why you'd do that.) And, also, where can I get the same crack that iTunes was on? Seriously.

Also. Because this is related to music, yes. I'd say "vaguely", but that would be meaner than what I actually think. How many people on my flist are into Darren Hayes exactly? Because he's creeping up all over the bleedin' place, to the point, B, where my own sister asked if she was the one that had given me Insatiable. I'm at this stage where I almost want to surrender and say "I give up, I don't care, I won't say a word against him again if you'll all just please stop."

I mean, it's not like he's as bad as Seal.

I think I'm gonna go listen to SG's Hold Me now. Because that one has actually really grown on me. *facepalm*

Look, the man's a pop star for a reason. He didn't get there by writing songs that aren't insipidly catchy. I'm certainly not going to say he's an excellent musician or lyricist by any stretch of imagination, but the fact is, it gets in your head. It really does.

...as I pull out my iPod for the original Savage Garden album. Yeah. *g*

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

It's just insanely amusing - emphasis on insanely - that I'd barely ever heard of him (well, yeah, pop and me? we don't really mix, most of the time) and all of a sudden everybody's mentioning him.

You know, one of these days I'll actually download that album. Then I will be truly doomed. And have you to thank blame for it. *nodsnods*

I wonder if I kept that video somewhere.

[shadesofbrixton.livejournal.com]

He's like a virus. A music virus. Heh. And I've got it all uploaded if you want it. Not really the sort of thing I feel like giving my hard earned cash for. (Though I did buy his first solo album. Discount bin. Good stuff.)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I might take you up on that. Don't tell anyone.

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

While I'm here, if somebody can help me getting his album... ;)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

You did mean Darren's, right? Anyway, I just asked Brix *points to above comments* and she can give you it, just send her an e-mail (shadesofbrixton at livejournal dot com) and tell her you're that friend of mine I told her about, and you guys can figure out how to get it from her to you. Much love!

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

OK, thanks !

[twixou.livejournal.com]

*points to icon*

Can't wait for July 4th.

Enough said.

:)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Heh. Yes.

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

I'm joining Alexia on that, to show solidarity and because we spent so many good times thanks to him.
But I don't understand where you hear so much about him, 'cause here I can't hear nothing. I mean except from Alexia telling me about the concert and all. :)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Well Brix started telling me about SG, which I knew, and the fact that he sang on after SG, which I did not. And then some other friend of mine asked me if this icon here was an SG icon, which it is, and then Alexia mentioned Darren in her post, to which I commented about Darren, to which my sister replied with "aaaah you know him", so I was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

So it's like when you learn a new word and then you hear it everywhere, except it's not a word.

this icon here was an SG icon
Is it ?! I don't remember the photo it's from. Maybe I should go and get my SG CDs !

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

.... and I love the icon !

[817.livejournal.com]

How many people on my flist are into Darren Hayes exactly?

*raises hand* I can't exactly deny it, even if I feel slightly cringy in admitting it.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oh, do not cringe. Stand proud in your love for Darren! That's what people should do everywhere for the things they love. I just, you know, won't personally be doing it for good ol' Darren.

Heh. Very appropriate icon.

[pee-wai.livejournal.com]

If I can help, I don't know who Darren Hayes is! ^^

And I certainly did not put Linkin Park on you iTunes and I'm sorry that you think I would such a thing! ^^

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Thank you! *tackleclings* *whispers* I think he's stalking me everywhere I comment on. You're a safe haven, I'll remember that.

Well I don't know why! But. I'm just. How did it come to be on my computer?

[pee-wai.livejournal.com]

I don't know, maybe your sister. Maybe the spirit of "crap music all around the world" who is also putting Darren Hayes everywhere to annoy you :D

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oi, I like some Linkin Park. ...some. Darren Hayes and Linkin Park cannot even be put together in the same sentence, they're so different.

[plumedephenix.livejournal.com]

No it's not me ! I don't even have any of their albums..but still I quite like what I've heard of them..

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

I have to show you THE video I got with the CD Alexia brought me from Australia. It's a best of Savage Garden and I'm sure you know Darren. And the video is just to good. Darren is so gay

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

...and Daniel isn't? *pouts*
Which video is it?

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

Not sure I love this icon, however.
Actually, Darren is not gay. He's been married and all, but their fans used to think they were. And I don't remember if Daniel really is gay or not. See, you're starting to be interested in Savage Garden and all ! ;)

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

Oh, the video. It's in their best of, there are lives and interviews if I remember well. Are you interested ?

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oh, darling, if the gay was enough to get me interested in them... I read SG RPS fic a whiiiile ago. Before I even knew Darren had gone on on a solo career.

...but okay, I kinda am interested in that vid, just for the pretty. Because they're very, very pretty.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Heh. SG is much more enjoyable than Darren, imho. Which doesn't mean much. But, you know, to each their own.

[miss-kao.livejournal.com]

I used to love Savage Garden in 1998 and years after, but since I heard Darren's song and listened again to their old songs, I have to admit I love his songs more than the band's songs. Even if he is the kind of singer we don't like to admit we appreciate.
