My Life Soundtrack

 

Three, two, one….action!!!! Can you imagine your life as if it was a movie? Of course, for some people, their lives are worth the best movie academy award; but for most of us, our lives have ups and downs, happy and sad moments, which in general, don’t belong to the remarkable or outstanding category. Regardless all the stories each person can tell, I believe that there is one thing we all have in common; MUSIC. I’m pretty sure that there is always a song which brings back memories about our lives. So what if we could have something like ‘my life soundtrack’, what songs would this soundtrack have?

I will start mine, with the Swedish band ABBA. This band was really popular when I was a girl. Their songs were listened everyday everywhere. Well I think they really deserved that kind of popularity. Their songs were really catchy and they had good melodies, so even those who didn’t understand English could enjoy them. Besides the band started the trend of recording their songs in Spanish – they adapted them actually, because some songs don’t sound that pretty when you just translate them hahaha.

Then, in my adolescence, Michael Jackson appeared on the scene with his hit Thriller. Who hadn’t listened to this song in those days??? If you hadn’t, you were probably from another planet or galaxy.

Then the ones who really left a mark on my adolescence and younger years were DURAN DURAN. These guys were a drought of fresh air into my life. I loved them (still do). I thought that their music was just fun, something completely different from the other 80's bands. From then on, there has always been a Duran Duran’s song as part of my life. I am a BIG, HUGE, GIANT FAN of DURAN DURAN.

Finally, I can mention Coldplay. The thing is that when I decided to buy a car, someone gave me the Coldplay album ‘A rush of blood to the head’; during the first months driving that car, I used to listen to this CD. The reason was that I wasn’t an experienced driver and I needed something that didn't get me distracted when driving. Eventually, I ended up loving this CD. That song, “The Scientist”, is awesome, and I suffered every sentence when I sang along hahaha.

Now, What does your life soundtrack look like?
