Life Soundtrack #1

No music, no life. For me, music gets me through the day. Songs get me through things and I cannot imagine living a single day without music in my ears. As a certified music junkie, I have thousands of songs in my library for me to choose from but imagine what songs will best represent a certain moment or mood or situation. Soundtrack plays a vital role in the success of movies and television series. Imagine a dramatic or a joyful scene without any background music to accompany it, that would suck right? That’s how I imagine everyday life. I love music to be my company when push comes to shove. So for this entry, here are some songs which I thought can fit specific scenes.

This is a fun music survey to answer but quite tough since there are tons of songs to choose from. If life is a movie, these will be the songs I would like to use for instant scenes. This is so cool, do this shiz music friends.
