Whats the soundtrack to your life???

I've been listening 2 Enya's "fairytale" on my ipod 2day which is a bit of a random track but I just needed that kind of escapism from reality and nobody does that better than enya. Ive been hooked on her since her lord of the rings soundtrack. One track I disdain though , which is actually killing me with its mediocre lyrics, would have to be Beyonce's supposed summer smash deja vu....I mean ppl have u seen her dance sequence?! I think she was on crack to say the least! and not to mention the part where she says "your sexiness is so appealing"!! lol

Back In Black

err..rhcp's alternative rock, and creed is technically christian rock. i think the only metal band you mentioned was metallica. metal is more like pantera, black sabbath, marilyn manson, rob zombie, etc..

in function's defence your two sentences did seem to be connected. the dot dot dot [...] thing usually insinuates a brief pause before carrying on the same topic.

I tried my best to get interested in Western music. School days and College..Days of Phil Collins and George Michael....Somehow couldn't keep it up...Liked M Learns T R for a while..Well..others Just not my type...

I like ballads/light music...a few links of my choices..(Apologies to most for the lyrics..Check the melody if you like..Beast will understand..)

My bad. I figured someone who had a self professed "love" for heavy metal would have somewhere along the line given a couple examples of said heavy metal for thier life's soundtrack :-| If you saw, I didn't reply until the next day. In that time you only referenced creed, rhcp, metallica and radiohead. I just thought it was comical that's all. And I wasn't saying you can't listen to other types of music. I'm sorry if you took offense to my post, my apologies. :heart:

I was replying to function's post, thats why I had in subject line ""Function""...If I was replying to you, I would write Afro187.

I don't care much about your comments but I will give you same advice READ PROPERLY BEFORE REPLYING.

and if any body interested in wat im listen to right now ?? matter of fact since couple of weeks I been listen to ne-yo “so sick�, kc&jojo “crazy� ,joe “I wana know� .. etc and all thos slow jamz

Hope u do understand now !!!

My song for the day, n for the last few weeks is "I will survive" as am struggling at work with the boss, building my house, stock market is dropping like hell, in addition to trying to manage all other stuff. I give it till early next yr to be able to hopefully say "I survived" but till then, I will keep singing the same song :(

I think you did not read my post properly, so here it is again.

-----------------------------------------------------

love Heavy Metal....

Listening to Creed & Red Hot Chilli Peppers (New Double Album - Stadium Arcade) these days.

All time Fav, Metallica (Black Album) Best album EVER.

-------------------------------------------------------

As you will notice I said "Love heavy metal...." Four full stops and one empty line later "Listening to creed & Red Hot Chilli Peppers (New Double Album - Stadium Arcade) these days."

Now, how did you manage to connect 2 sentences which are separated by four full stops and empty line.

If i like heavy metal that does not mean that I do not listen to other type of music does it ? I listen to rap, hip hop and all sorts (even country music), but have immense liking for heavy metal.

So, please read with patience before replying.

Beast666

Yeah its so predictable isn’t .. its kind of an redneck telling u that he listen to country music .. and u in the back of ur mine well be “like sure u do .. wat else can suite u ??� hahaha I know that sound lil bit raciest but I’ll b as much surprised if he said that he likes Rap as u well b if I said I like black metal ..

Afro,

We kind of guessed that ;-)

As u said dohagirl it depenz on the mood which mood ur in, well back in the dayz in junior high high school i use to listen to hip-hop (MC Hammer) rap ,pop, Reggae then in high school rap.. especially westcost rap, hip-hop, R&B, reggae .. matter of fact I almost do listen to all types of music except the blk or death metal or the hard core rock .. its just not my style .. I do listen to the chill type of rock some times but the two major things that im listenin to it now adayz is the R&B and the Hip-hop

"You lose touch with whats considered normal fashion when you've been here a while."

A couple months ago I was packing for a business trip back to the States. As I folded up one of my new work shirts, my husband tentatively said, "Um... you're not taking that, are you?"

"Why not?" I said, puzzled.

"Um... it's covered in sequins?"

I had to think about it a moment to realize that, in fact, he was right: people don't wear sequins to work back in the States. (At least, not in my line of work!!!)

On the other hand, when I went back to the States last month, I got together with a friend from here. We took one look at each other and burst out laughing: we were both wearing tank tops and tiny shorts, just because we COULD.

I'm listening to the new Beth Orton, Company of Strangers. It's pretty good if you like light folky stuff.

Lol, Creed and RHCP heavy metal?!?! Only if you have ultra sensitive ears ;-)

Anyways...we should perhaps make a spin-off thread and ask what's in your playlist at the moment. Or simply "What are you listening to right now?" Then later a recommendation thread.

Since this thread is about a soundtrack to one's life...hmmmm...mine would definitely have to be a compilation. As mentioned, it's mood driven. I've got a driving to/from work mood, a gym mood, cleaning mood etc. A sample of from those moods would be:

Early 90's Grung/Alt. (Nirvana, Soungarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, NIN, etc)

Placebo

Tool

Korn

White Stripes

Chaimara

Trivium

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Slipknot

Weezer

Soulfly

Too many to list :-D

hi all my friends

i came back again after 6 wonderfull days , how are u all

DG what are you talking about? You never have any work to do. All you do is chat with me, go out to lunch with me, then chat with me some more. Not a bad life at all :P

Me to.

Goodnight!

Ok, I really am off to bed now. I might actually have to do some work tomorrow. :D ha ha ha.

Talk to you later. :)

My friend is finishing her Masters at the University in Durham. I'd always wanted to go to New Castle (just cause of the beer) so we went for a day. It was a really nice city. The urban redevelopment along the Tyne was really nice.

It actually reminded me a lot of home, the beautiful landscape with industrial bits everywhere. The big angel statue was cool.

So do I!!

Parts of it are really beautiful and Newcastle has just been voted one of the ten best party cities in the world. Not sure who by but I wouldn't disagree.

I guess being Canadian the cold wind blowing up the River Tyne was just a bit of wind chill.

Were you just there on holiday or visiting friends?

"Time of your life" by Green Day most definitely on a good day and "I want to break free" by Queen on a bad one....

It was contradictory in a lot of ways, but it was a nice change. I like seeing girls dress in mini skirts again or anything revealing, it reminds me of what I might beable to wear someday, I was actually tempted to buy one before I realized i couldn't wear it.

I liked that whole Durham/New Castle area, it was nice and cold. :) (Not quite as cold as Canada though).

Sorry about the last post. Not what I intended to post.

I grew up near Newcastle. You would have been overdressed in a knee length skirt and anything that covered your shoulders. It is usually freezing there aswell.

Talk about contradictory to Doha.

I thought I did. You lose touch with whats considered normal fashion when you've been here a while. I thought everybody looked half naked.

Normal

Just 3 days the last time. I know I looked pretty funny at the pubs in Durham and New Castle because other girls told me I was overdressed. :)

I am sure you looked pretty normal in London.

Sleeping under a tree in jacket and jeans in the middle of summer is not something I have tried personally but there are plenty of freaky people doing freakier things than that in London.

How long were you there for?

As well as the cool weather, and trees and being able to drink outside. London is a nice city. I went and fell asleep under a tree in Hyde Park for awhile, it was relaxing. Everyone thought I was a freak though, because I was wearing a jacket and jeans and everyone else was in shorts, skirts and tank tops. :)

Its a good venue.

We used to go on a Saturday afternoon in the summer if there was a band on, get an area on the grass, chill out, have a few beers and watch the support acts until the main band came on at night.

One of the cool things I miss about living in London.

When I was in London a couple of weeks ago Massive Attack was playing Hyde Park, pretty good.

I'll go with Gnarls Barkley and Crazy.

Have been listening to quite a lot of the Raconteurs recently though.

Love, Stone Roses 'I Wanna be Adored'

I saw Chilli Peppers play in Hyde Park a couple of years ago they were awesome.

I think my all time fav song is ---- Creep by radiohead (NOT TLC)... I just love that song...specially when feeling low... But what a song. Shame radiohead did not come up with anything that great after that, high & dry was alright but nothing compare to creep

Beast666

Jeez, that is a hard one, you have to go back through your childhood, through you teen years...I think there is a different one for each time.

Childhood: "Indiana Wants Me." can't remember the name of the singer it was a one hit wonder.

Teen years: " When She Looks at Me." Tonic

College Days: "Swan Dive." Ani Difranco

Now: sadly "Your Beautiful" James Blunt and "Blowers Daughter." Damien Rice

Creed is a very good band, give it a try.

What is your all ime fav song, i know very diff to select one, but try

Beast666

I won't give you Creed Beast, but I do love the Chilli Peppers. BloodSugarSexMagic was a defining record of my youth. Ahh the 90's

love Heavy Metal....

Listening to Creed & Red Hot Chilli Peppers (New Double Album - Stadium Arcade) these days.

All time Fav, Metallica (Black Album) Best album EVER.

Beast666

the Motown Sound is what I prefer. "Back in the future, 1972 up to 1978". Great music. E.g "Tavares, Haven must be missing an angel" or "The Temptations" and so on. As you perhaps noticed, the older ones of us will know these sounds, but a lot of remixes are still coming out nowerdays.

I have to catch up with my posts,: You have more then 1000!

I don´t think that I will even get 300 posts.

I´m on my way -> Doha right now: arrive at 09:10pm Doha Airport.

So, dear Forum members: I´m pleased to say hello to all of you.

See you, Otto

I love Shakira, and Shaggy. That gets me moving, and with a smile :)

Nice also some R&B for me something to lighten me up ready for a long night of PARTY

I have to admit to a love of Shakira, especially when getting psyched up for a Thursday night. :)

I'll take a dose of classic rock (Led Zep, Floyd, Who, etc), mix it with some heavy rock (Sabbath, Priest Maiden, AC/DC et al.), top it with a bit of 70s & 80s pop (ABBA, A-ha, etc.) and I'm all set.

According to Cat, mine for today is Rebel Yell, by Billy Idol. ("With a Rebel Yell she screamed More More More!"

Usually however I would have to go with Ani Difranco. Though playing in my car right now is Beth Orton. I like my female singers angst filled and heartbroken, even better if they are gay. :)

So whats your DG?

Squeeze..... love a bit of angst to bring back memories

gr8 soundtrack,flawless, music inspired by the wonderful nina simone, i've picked it after watching the movie(lousy movie) in 1992, i'm hooked 2 it ever since.

Gnarls Barkley Crazy well thats what i feel like today anyway!

Billy Idol Hey. That's almost as bad as me remembering Ally MacBeal. LOL. ;)

I went through phases of "life soundtracks" and they were pretty much in the order you posted them, lol. But these days it's Billy Idol, and today it's Billy Idol - "Wild Child".

:)
