top albums script

1. How did you get into 29? Paul van Dyk

As a youngster, around 15/16, I discovered DJ Tiësto. A good friend of mine at the time recommended Another Way by Paul van Dyk - I thought it was brilliant!

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? Tori Amos

Cornflake Girl ... or was it Caught a Lite Sneeze?

3. What’s your favorite lyric by 33? Kim Wilde

God... I don't think she really has any worthwhile lyrics, just catchy tunes that are very easy to sing along to! However, if I have to choose something...

"(You) snap your fingers and somebody runs, you don't care how they feel just as long as they come, got your head in your stars now you've come this far.. just who do you think you are?"

From Who Do You Think You Are?

Apocalypso

Tough one, all of their songs are brilliant! I'll go with 午前８時の脱走計画 because it ALWAYS makes me smile.

Night Train Home - it appropriately enough reminds me of driving home by myself after an evening that didn't go quite how I'd hoped.

8. What is your favorite album by 15? 椎名林檎

Shouso Strip

9. What is your favorite song by 5? Rei Harakami

Dessert - I have quite a few of Harakami's albums, and this track from Unrest is, I feel, his finest piece of musical composition.

10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? 浜崎あゆみ

There are so many! Let's go with Trauma (JamX & De Leon's DuMonde dub / vocal mix) from Ayu-Trance II ... reminds me of the old days!

grow into one ... but only because it has 1000 no Kotoba on it

12. What is your favorite song by 10? Lamb

Hearts and Flowers

When Alex lived with me for a short time, we used to listen to BoA quite a bit.

22. What is your favorite song by 16? 坂本真綾

So... I found this list, in somebody else's blog... and I thought it would be a good idea choosings songs for the soundtrack of my life... but as some of the situations on the list has't happened to me yet (like... dying and my funeral)... I decided I'd choose the ones that may describe the way I think or feel about something...

So Keane are in charge of the Opening Credits with Atlantic... this tune could describe one of my biggest fear in this world... "I don't wanna be old and sleep alone"... so I'm trying no to (sleep alone.. because as far as I know there's no way of avoiding getting old)... "The day's begging now" ends the song and starts the other... Sweet Potato by Sia and this is very funny because the next thing of the list was "Waking up" so... I wake up and I turn on the TV, or log into my MSN account or listent to some music... and it's all like this... you think you know alot of things... like when you see a relationship from the outiside you can understand a lot of things... but when you're on the inside... it is all different "I'm a fool" so... I'm a witness to a couple that maybe doesn't even exists, maybe is just an invention of some TV producers or something...

Then... I'm getting ready for my "first day at school" a new school I guess... and as I've been so long in the same fucking University (I did highschool and my degree on the same college) I can barely remember how did it felt when It was first day at a new school... "I'm doing it for dollars" yeah we are all doing it for money... and for some other reasons... but money is sure one of them... "money that burns in my hands" so the one that gets the feeling the best is Neverland by The Knife

Next we go to the love thing... the hard part... the falling in love part... where you are there standing before somebody you don't know... and yet you're dying to get inside that person... The Operation by Charlotte Gainsbourg couldn't describe it better... "Our love under the knife, the heart was rejected by the host" and I'm not reading this line as a rejection... actually... I believe when you give your heart to somebody, and that person can't be so selfish that he or she gives it back, so you can keep your heart but share your life or a part of your heart... that's love!

The the first kiss scene... this was hard because.. there was no song that could really describe that moment... but Surfing on a Rocket by Air is actually the kiss, that flash of light saying to me... "5 4 3 2 1 0... you'll never see me again"... and that's true... in less than a blink of an eye, that moment is gone... but remains in your memories forever... and yeah it actually feels like "Surfing on a Rocket"

But nothing is all honey in this our earth... so the fight song... funny I thought of a lot of songs... but this one is as if I'm hearing myself having a discussion... I'm "not saying you deserve to die, just saying you deserve yourself" and myself too.. so... I'm asking "why can't we keep it Civilized?" It's a matter of two... not just one... and though Charlotte Martinseems to be spiting out everything in this song, she's also taking responsability on it.

And what's the best way to calm down a fight? SEX!... oh yeah it is... the next thing on the list was "losing virginity" and I chose Insensible by Mandalay because it has this line that says "You invited me in... as if it's nothing"... and the fact that somebody either invites you to enter her or his body or you invite somebody to enter you... man! that's something! "now it's like I hardly see the sky somedays.."

The the break up... after all the sex, all the fights and all the kisses.. "i stayed true to the things I knew when I was younger... when food and love was all but left to hunger" says Beth Orton in Stars All Seem to Weep and yeah... that's what I did, when I was younger, meaning a baby, when I needed something... all I needed to do was weep...

The next one is the "prom" song... this one's sung by Jay-Jay Johanson, the tune is Rocks in Pockets and this one's like a Hymn to the youth... to the rebels... even if that means... just wanting to go away for a while... escape parents, escape school... escape reality... and yet you feel you've got rocks in your pockets and you cannot run so fast... but you walk... fast.. fast enought to go away for a night... the prom night

And then... after the rush of uncertainty.. the one that the future delivers.. the calm comes back again in Crosses by Zero 7 the "Life's OK" song... ad yeah... this song makes me feel like everything alright.. like I'm missing nothing... I chose the version against the original by José González just because it fits better with all the other tracks

Probably missing a few but here it goes:


Death Cab for Cutie - Marching Bands of Manhattan

"Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole
Just like a faucet that leaks and there is comfort in the sound
But while you debate half empty or half full
It slowly rises, your love is gonna drown"

Death Cab for Cutie - Bixby Canyon Bridge

"When everyone you meet
They all seem to be asleep
And you wonder if you're missing your dream
You can't see your dream"

Lit - Miserable (again)

"You make me come
You make me complete
You make me completely miserable"

Tegan and Sara - Underwater

"I would go to jail with only boys
Just to prove I was as tough as you
And when I get out for good behavior
I'll be writing love songs
Silly banging knee songs
I'm a car crash
But I have to get up
And every morning it's a cleanup
All I need is time, time to love you"

Cary Brothers - Ride

"If I told you the reasons why
Would you leave your life and ride?"

Adele - Chasing pavements

"Should I give up
or should I just keep chasing pavements
even if it leads no where,
or would it be a waste"

Adele - Hometown glory

"Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit
Shows that we are united
Shows that we ain’t gonna take it
Shows that we ain’t gonna stand shit"

The Cardigans - Communication (again)

"I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your veins
But that’s not an invitation
That’s all I get
If this is communication, I disconnect
I’ve seen you, I know you
But I don’t know how to connect, so I disconnect"

Brand New - Limousine

"Seven loves you so much, but do me a favor baby, don't reply.
'cause I can dish it out, but I can't take it."
Brand New - Jude Law and a Semester Abroad

Brand New - Mix Tape

"But when I say let's keep in touch,
I hope you know I mean I wish that you'd grow up.
This is the first song for your mixtape.
It's short just like your temper,
but somewhat golden like the afternoons we used to spend before you got too cool"

+44 - Baby come on (again)

"She's a pretty girl
She's always falling down
And I think I just fell in love with her
But she won't ever remember, remember

And I can always find her
At the bottom of a plastic cup
Drowning in drunk sincerity
A sad and lonely girl

Quit crying your eyes out
Quit crying your eyes out, and baby come on
Isn't there something familiar about me?
The past is only the future with the lights on

And she said, "I think we're running out of alcohol"
And all my best friends will be the death of me
But they won't ever remember, remember"

Mandalay - Like her (again)

"It looks like
You won't be staying round
Given the time
And your mood
You look a lot like her
And you look so like
You won't be staying around
Here in this half light
You look a lot like her"

Sigur Rós - Hlemmur - Untitled

Travis - Side

Trespassers William - Matching weight (again)

"Tonight
we don't have a lot to go on
but that's not how it lives in my head
no, not at all
blind times
thought we were matching weight
we pulled
sometimes it was you and sometimes it was me
but where are we
you say "don't take it all so hard for now
there's so much space
and there will always be later for that""

The All-American Rejects - Too far gone (again)

"Please speak slowly
My heart is learning
Teach me heartache
Stop this burning now"

Jack Johnson - Better together

"Our dreams, and they are made out of real things
Like a, shoebox of photographs
With sepiatone loving

I'll tell you one thing it's always better when we're together

Hey now, and when I wake up,
You look so pretty sleeping next to me"
