People remember music. They remember odd jingles, the first song in their elementary school musical and the first song that played at their prom. I can recite all the words to We Love You, Martha Stewart, and when I kiss a girl (ew...) for the first time, whatever Hootie and the Blowfish song happens to playing on my iHome will be permanently lodged in my brain. Because life has a soundtrack; memories and songs mingle and interweave in our minds to the point that merely admiring a girl's butt can summon up the second verse of Sir Duke for the rest of the day - though probably not for most people. But what if life had a more literal soundtrack? What if your humdrum day was accompanied by the vocal talents of Lady Gaga, or Radiohead, or Mastah Blacky-Black, or whoever else you kids listen to? What would this soundtrack be? Which part of your day would each song cover? Would they require that the diurnal segment in question take place in slo-mo? Would there need to be a fan? Or would a simple spotlight suffice?
Create a soundtrack for your average day. Keep in mind how each song relates to your daily activities, and what manner of impression your accompaniment would make on anyone watching your life. Please refrain from mentioning Nickelback or Korn.
