I don’t know about you guys, but music is tied to my emotions and events in my life. I watch a movie and I think about how great it would be to have music play at the important moments in my life. Is that just me? I just thought I’d throw it out there having watched movies like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World or Kick Ass, where the music is upbeat, and fun, and fit the situations perfectly. Imagine a love song playing when you meet someone you’re hot for, or Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get it On” when you’re about to get down and dirty. When things are good upbeat music plays and when you’re down in the dumps, you can hear the soft melody of a melancholy tune.
That’s probably why so many people walk around listening to music, their headphones glued to their ears like to be without them would be to face reality. We are lost in the world of our songs, and we play our soundtrack everyday. But it’d be so totally, awesome to be able to just hear the right song for the right moment, for the right emotion, and just feel it. That’s how movies and television get us, with its haunting melodies pulling at our heart strings at just the right time. Would we cry even more if our divorces and break ups were accompanied by dramatic music?
Eh, this is just a ramblings of a man who’s imagination is apparently, still pretty active and who embraces the kid at heart. Never let life get you so down that you forget to dream, forget to enjoy the little things, and forget to keep your heart open. Crap, just call me a maple tree, because that was sappy.
