Life to Music

What's the Soundtrack of Your Journey?

0 Comments

Wouldn't life be better with a soundtrack?

Just like in the movies, I believe that important moments should be emphasized with a song appropriate to the situation. Imagine how many bad things we would be able to avoid if scary music started to play just before we headed outside on a dark and stormy night. (I'm going by myself to see why the power went out here at this supposedly haunted summer camp ... wait ... is that the sound of crashing violins I hear? Heck, I'd better stay inside and lock the doors and windows.)

Perhaps you need to get to the airport before the love of your life takes off on a round-the-world trip because she thinks you don't love her? Wouldn't you be able to get there just a little faster if Peter Gabriel's In Your Eyes was playing? I know that I would, though that could be because I might have seen Say Anything too many times as a love-struck teenager.

Music is a crucial part of a movie because it adds to the emotional impact of the on-screen events and gives them an immediacy that merely watching cannot. Can't you feel the whip in your hand and the hat on your head whenever you hear the theme song from Raiders of the Lost Ark? If someone hums the Jaws theme while I'm in the bathtub, I get a little nervous. (OK, nervous enough to get out of the tub and hop into the shower, where I immediately imagine the Psycho music and hop back into the tub.)

Some hospitals are releasing newborns before the mom if they are ready to be discharged and the mom is not. Should this happen?
