i think at this point of time, it's no secret how much i love my music, and how much i believe it possesses magical powers, enabling people to connect on higher levels, able to heal the most painful wounds, and simply putting a smile on our faces on an otherwise ordinary day.

i always wished our lives were movies, you know the ability to just put it an old tape in the vcr and press play, watching and recollecting all the millions of meaningful memories from a bygone year that have since become wastefully vague and distant. when i think of our lives as movies, i like to imagine what the soundtrack to each of our own respective journeys would be.

i remember in 2005 i actually put together a playlist chronicling the feelings i had for a particular someone. it was pretty neat as i remember, with the songs chronologically ordered to reflect the days from our first meeting, to the subsequents lows, to the eventual acceptance and letting go. that was a long time ago.

i'm not sure i could compile a soundtrack for my life at present; i'm afraid there would be too much emocore and what not. it wouldnt sell i think. but i can pinpoint a song that probably reflects everything about me now. the way i feel, the way i am. my outlook on everything that comes my way, my approach to anything that will faze me. and suprisingly, it's not from one of my favourite bands.

quite honestly, i think it's one of the best songs ever. i've listened to it like 12 times in a row already. just now whilst it was playing, you came online. that was almost like a torrential downpour of emotion haha. but yeap, all's well that ends well.

i think everyone should compile a soundtrack of their lives, and it doesnt have to be everything crammed in one compilation. i think we can have many volumes, like how star wars has come up with episodes 1-6. we should have soundtracks for specific years of our lives, they might even go a long way in enlightening us on how we have changed/grown/matured.

this is the song of my life.

when you try your best but you don't succeed
when you get what you want but not what you need
when you feel so tired but you can't sleep
stuck in reverse

and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love someone but it goes to waste
could it be worse

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

and high up above or down below
when you're too in love to let it go
but if you never try you'll never know
just what you're worth

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you

tears stream down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
tears stream down your face, and i

tears stream down your face
i promise you i will learn from my mistakes
tears stream down your face, and i

lights will guide you home
and ignite your bones
and i will try to fix you
