TOPO'S LIFE STORY

Opening Credits: Cruel Dilemme II — Shiro Sagisu (Wow, this is setting up one depressing tale, I can tell)

Waking Up: Hold On — Limp Bizkit (...Okay then. That's grandiose even for me)

First Day Of School: Isolated System — Muse (FUCKING A)

Falling In Love: Real Tears For Sale — Marillion (Now THIS is disturbingly fitting. Such a pretty girl, the anger didn't hide it)

Fight Song: Dance of the Ranyart / Olias — Jon Anderson (Serene fight songs are always the most powerful.)

Breaking Up: Big Time — Peter Gabriel (So... We broke up because one of us is a Gordon Gecko expy?)

Prom: The Light Before We Land — The Delgados (Best prom everrrrr. Deliciously dystopian)

Life's OK: Abacab — Genesis (Huh. Funky.)

Mental Breakdown: The Battle of Evermore — Led Zeppelin (It has a vague unsettling air to it, so I can dig it)

Driving: These Living Arms — The Tea Party (Hmmm. It has a nice beat, but not so much for driving I would imagine)

Flashback: Babe I'm Gonna Leave You — Led Zeppelin (Wow... So this actually ties in with Big Time if I was the dick and broke up with her. Cool)

Getting Back Together: Absolutely Curtains — Pink Floyd (Most unsettling make-up I've ever known)

Wedding: He Knows You Know — Marillion (A song about drugs. I'm sure this means something, but I don't know what. I'll just sing psychedelic praises to the depths of the china bowl)

Birth Of Child: Somewhere In Between — Kate Bush (The most serene of all children XD)

Final Battle: Criminal World — Simple Minds (Again: FUCKING A)

Death Scene: Have A Cigar — Pink Floyd (I don't know what to make of this except: I'M GONNA' RIDE THE GRAVY TRAIN... TO HELL)

Funeral Song: Above The Clouds — Electric Light Orchestra ()

End Credits: Stand By Love — Simple Minds (Remember kids, I loved my wifey. Or something.)

I'll see if the songs will make more sense this time:
* Opening Credits: Two Steps Behind - Def Leppard (Not a good way to start)
* Waking Up: Love Bites - Def Leppard (?)
* First Day Of School: Cinderella Man - Rush (I guess my first day of school will follow the plot of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town)
* Falling In Love: Caught in a Web - Dream Theater (This is not gonna be a good relationship)
* Fight Song: Taxman - The Beatles (I guess I'm fighting the taxman)
* Breaking Up: Feeling Good - Muse (Maybe as Soundtrack Dissonance)
* Prom: Black Hearted Woman - The Allman Brothers Band (Not gonna be a good prom)
* Life's OK: And Your Bird Can Sing - The Beatles (cheery tune, so this works)
* Mental Breakdown: Riot Act - Skid Row (Actually appropriate!)
* Driving: Hot On for Nowhere - Led Zeppelin (?)
* Flashback: The Long and Winding Road - The Beatles (Very good choice!)
* Getting Back Together: In the Flesh? - Pink Floyd (This relationship continues to be doomed)
* Wedding: Tom Sawyer - Rush (?)
* Birth Of Child: Losing It - Rush (?)
* Final Battle: Green River - CCR (I guess the battles happening at Green River)
* Death Scene: Blackbird - Alter Bridge (Amazingly appropriate!)
* Funeral Song: Love Me Do - The Beatles (Not so appropriate)
* End Credits: Cry Baby Cry - The Beatles (?)\\

Wish I could die listening to Black Bird.

Opening Credits: Comatose - Pearl Jam^note I like how energetic this is. I think it works nicely as an opening
Waking Up: United - Judas Priest^note Anthemic and maybe a bit uplifting if nothing else. I'm honestly not sure how I would react waking up to this.
First Day Of School: The Wicked - Stone Sour ^note Something about this feels foreboding in some degree. It's got an Obsession Song vibe going on
Falling In Love: Sister Morphine^note Well this is dreary
Fight Song: Midnight/Tornado - Skid Row^note This is a love song written as if it was an actual fight song...
Breaking Up: Brat - Green Day^note She broke up because I killed my parents?
Prom: Blood Stained - Judas Priest^note ...these lyrics are filled with pure hate...
Life's OK: Better of Two Evils - Marilyn Manson^note The song seems to be about breaking from some mold, from both your detractors and supporters. I guess that makes life okay
Mental Breakdown: New Frontier - Iron Maiden^note I guess "out beyond the new frontier" is the edge of insanity. I'm pretty sure this song is about artificial life and/or cloning, so I guess I've had a Tomato in the Mirror surprise
Driving: Turn It Again - Red Hot Chili Peppers^note Funky. I guess that works to get a driving groove going
Flashback: Unknown Legend (live) - Neil Young^note This song is largely sung in the past tense, and it's a nostalgic mood to it. In other words, it works perfectly
Getting Back Together: The Beauty of Grey - Live^note I guess I'm convincing her not to take things at face-value. This is not a black and white world / To be alive / I say the colours must swirl
Wedding: No Sleep Till Brooklyn - The Beastie Boys^note Some might call this an awesome wedding. I think it would be horrible
Birth Of Child: Magic Johnson - Red Hot Chili Peppers^note Not a basketball fan, so this is disappointing
Final Battle: Crash - Aerosmith^note This is hectic, kind of insane and at times outright noisy (seems to be about taking lots of drugs and getting higher than a kite). At least it's got the tempo of battle music.
Death Scene: Mexico - Incubus^note You could see me reaching / So why couldnt you have met me halfway / You could see me bleeding / But you could not put pressure on the wound. It's probably about a relationship, but it's disturbingly mournful and bleak
Funeral Song: Cold Shower Tuesday - Bowling For Soup^note ...horrifying...
End Credits: Mind Eraser, No Chaser - Them Crooked Vultures^note Why is this song here? Seriously, it just suddenly appeared in my iTunes one day

Rvdz'S LIFE STORY Opening Credits: Foals - Everytime (This is gonna be good)

Waking Up: Queens Of The Stone Age - I Never Came (Pretty depressing way to start a day)

Getting Back Together: Muse - Take A Bow ([i]You'll burn in hell for your sins[/i] doesn't really bode well for the relationship)

Wedding: You're The Reason I'm Leaving (Eh, I can tell this is gonna end badly)

Birth Of Child: Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name ( [i]Fuck you, i won't do what you tell me[/i], another bad sign

Final Battle: Foals - Cassius (ADHD fight scene, hell yeah!)

Death Scene: Franz Ferdinand - Bullet (I'll go out with a bang)

Funeral Song: LCD Soundsystem - Watch The Tapes (Puts the fun in funeral)

End Credits: Franz Ferdinand - Jaqueline (Pretty good)

Okay, that's a pretty weird life.

• Falling In Love: Don't Stop Believin' - Journey (Works fairly well, would have made a nice ending credits song. Thanks for not fucking me over, iPod!)

• Fight Song: What's Left of the Flag - Flogging Molly (I am rage-filled and fighting to carry on the dreams of a fallen friend/brother/loved one.)

• Breaking Up: Building the Barricade - Les Miserables (What the hell?! This aint gonna be pretty.)

• Prom: Dancing With Tears In My Eyes - Ke$ha (I have a massive sense of self-loathing. Thanks a fucking lot, iPod.)

• Life's OK: Something to Die for - Carolina Liar (Friend offers to stay with me through hell an- wait a sec... Metal Gear? Father and Son? Self-loathing? Could the friend be Otacon? AM I SOLID SNAKE?!)

• Wedding: Cloud Nine - Evanescence (Wedding? Hah! I'm Big Boss, I've been dreaming in a coma ever since the mental breakdown.)

• Death Scene: Free Bird - Lynyrd Skynyrd (This is good... Isn't it?)

• Funeral Song: Succession - Crisis Core OST (A beautiful and pensive song to reflect my life.)

• End Credits: Here's to You - Metal Gear Solid 4 OST (I Am Not Making This Up Disclaimer)

1. My iPod thinks that I am a war junkie.
2. Next time, I am skipping any and all soundtracks.
3. Some words of advice: save often. I had this almost all typed up, went to edit a typo in a comment, and my laptop went back a page with no forward option, thus deleting everything I had typed.

Opening Credits: Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper (So I guess my life is an 80s movie.)

Waking Up: In My Life - The Beatles (Well, that's a nice way to wake up.)

First Day Of School: Fire - Ohio Players (Funky. So far, this has been a nice, light-hearted story.)

Falling In Love: Tubular Bells (from The Exorcist) - Mike Oldfield (Ah, a classic tale: boy meets girl, girl turns out to be possessed by a demon.)

Fight Song: I Think I'm Paranoid [Crystal Method Remix] - Garbage (Not sure what to make of this.)

Breaking Up: What's This? (from The Nightmare Before Christmas) - Danny Elfman (I guess I was too distracted by this crazy "Christmas" thing to commit to the relationship.)

Prom: Party In The CIA - "Weird Al" Yankovic (I was hoping to get some action at the prom, but I didn't mean secret agents trying to kill terrorists.)

Life's OK: Magical Mystery Tour - The Beatles (So I started taking acid to help me cope with the trauma of an incredibly violent prom? I don't know.)

Mental Breakdown: Respect The Wind (from Twister) - Van Halen (Nothing cures a mental patient like endless guitar solos.)

Flashback: In Your Room - The Bangles (Hey, remember The '80s? Now you do.)

Wedding: Senorita - Justin Timberlake (Seems appropriate enough.)

Birth Of Child: From The Inside - Linkin Park (Yes, from the womb, to be precise.)

Final Battle: God Put A Smile Upon Your Face - Coldplay (Evidently, my prom was more exciting than this supposedly climactic battle.)

Death Scene: A Storm Is Coming (from TheLordOfTheRings: The Return Of The King) - Howard Shore (Wow, no subtlety at all.)

Funeral Song: I Lost On Jeopardy! - "Weird Al" Yankovic (This is what I get for losing on a game show? Disproportionate Retribution, anyone?)

End Credits: Welcome To My Party - Rusted Root (This must have been an indie movie.)

• Opening Credits: “Without Any Further Ado” by Pepper’s Ghost (ah, great song, but sadly can’t be found anywhere…here’s another song by the band from the same album, should give you a general idea what it sounds like!)

• Waking Up: “Are You Lonesome Tonight” by Al Jolson (seems like this should be later in the movie…)

• First Day Of School: “Spiderwebs” by No Doubt (this is why you don’t use your phone in class)

• Falling In Love: “Show Me Love” by Robin S. (title’s not as appropriate as you might expect—it’s an early ‘90s club song)

• Fight Song: “Please Mr. Lostman” by the pillows (See, the pillows have some songs that work for a scene like this—after all, they did form the basis of the FLCL soundtrack—but this is one of their far more mellow songs…)

• Breaking Up: “Cygnet Committee” by David Bowie (I clearly took this breakup very hard.)

• Prom: “Big Thunder” by the Surf Coasters (it’s a retro-themed prom)

• Life's OK: “Teknopathetic” by Hideki Naganuma (“Life’s OK” is now a spy-esque action scene)

• Mental Breakdown: “Dancing in the Moonlight” by King Harvest (y’know what, I like the dissonance of having such a smooth, calming song here)

• Driving: “Do You Know What You Want” by M2M (I always listen to Swedish girly pop groups while driving)

• Flashback: “Heart of Stone” by The Rolling Stones (eh, it works)

• Getting Back Together: “Use Somebody” by Kings Of Leon (bahahaha, this is actually an amazing matchup)

• Wedding: “Money Changes Everything” by The Brains (the marriage is not destined to last, I see)

• Birth Of Child: “She's Just Like Me / Taking Time” by The Apples In Stereo (awwww, this baby’s gonna grow up with an inferiority complex and daddy issues)

• Final Battle: “Easter Oratorio (Kommt, eilet und laufet, ihr flüchtigen Füße), BWV 249: iii. Duet (Tenor, Bass) and Chorus: Kommt, eilet und laufe” performed by Kurt Equiluz, Walter Berry, Akademie Choir, Vienna Chamber Orchestra & Felix Prohaska (and at the end, the villain goes, “I’LL BE BACH”)

• Death Scene: “Some Girls are Bigger Than Others” by The Smiths (*spits drink out onto screen*)

• Funeral Song: “The Gambler” by fun. (This actually kinda sounds like it could be a funeral song, aside from the lyrics about still being alive and the love story in there and the “when I grow up” stuff and you know what, maybe this doesn’t quite work as well as I thought)

• End Credits: “La Bamba” by Los Lobos (just another credits song from East L.A.)

• The Stinger: “Hush” by Deep Purple (na-nananah)

Fight Song: Pearl Jam - Brain of J. (Nice and punky)

Birth Of Child: Metronomy - The Bay (A nice blend of levity and melancholy)

Finally a list that actually makes sense, except for the Life's Okay bit.

probably won't know most of these songs since my culled playlist of stuff I've already listened to and know and like listening to screwed up. Thanks Amazon, you really know how to not screw up your apps when they were already working fine.

• Opening Credits: “The Village Green Preservation Society" by The Kinks (actually kinda works for this purpose; God save Donald Duck)

• Waking Up: "Shroobs' Castle" by Yoko Shimomura from Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time (what a terrifying morning)

• First Day Of School: “Catch Me Daddy [Live]" by Big Brother & the Holding Company (to be fair, going back to school can give you the blues)

• Falling In Love: “All I Want for Christmas is You" by Vince Vance And The Valiants (I never quite realized how alliterative this band's name is; also I guess the song's music kinda works for this—very '50s diner-y)

• Fight Song: “How We Do It" by LIGHTS (oh look inhopelessguy decided to soundtrack this scene)

• Breaking Up: “Top Man Stage (PS Version)" from Mega Man 3 (uh so do I like need to fight my evil exes now or)

• Prom: a live version of "Live and Let Die" by Paul McCartney (this is off his Good Evening New York City live album and I'm realizing now, it sounds like there's a lot of trickery on the vocals here...that's disappointing )

• Life's OK: “Woman" by Peter And Gordon (not sure a love song after what's apparently happened in this movie is the most appropriate, but hey, I like the song anyway even if it's not exactly one of Lennon/McCartney's best compositions)

• Mental Breakdown: “These Days (Live @ University Of London Union, Feb 8, 1980)" by Joy Division (never listened to this version before; geez, for an official release, this is sub-bootleg quality recording; anyway, I can see a Joy Division song in general working for a mental breakdown scene)

• Driving: “ Southbound 280" by Mike Park (pfff, it works even better since it's about driving somewhere, or at least the first verse is)

• Flashback: “Dirty Work" by Steely Dan (apparently a flashback to being cheated on or being used by someone who's cheating on someone)

• Getting Back Together: “ Heart and Soul" by the Cleftones (sure, generic doo-wop love song for getting back together, why not)

• Wedding: “Rael 2" by The Who (sort of works with the intro, but what a foreboding wedding scene this would be)

• Birth Of Child: “A Singer Must Die" by Leonard Cohen (what a depressing baby, we should return it to the baby store)

• Final Battle: “Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Nat King Cole (I feel like whoever curated this soundtrack just threw songs into the scenes at random. ...oh, wait)

• Death Scene: “A-G-L-E-T" from Phineas and Ferb (HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA)

• Funeral Song: “ Evidence" by Jimmy Eat World (I guess this works if we're going with the whole cheating angle, sure as hell ain't a somber funeral though)

• End Credits: “ Amoeba Boys" from the Powderpuff Girls album The City of Soundsville (if there was any way to discourage your audience from staying through the credits...seriously, though, this album is a huge disappointment)

• The Stinger: “School Spirit" by Kanye West, seemingly an edited version which I didn't think I had (even as a college graduate, this song still speaks to me)
