SOUNDTRACK

By

Soundtrack of Your Life Project

 

Music has become an integral part of human existence.  It motivates us, calms us, inspires us, at times irritates us, and basically becomes the backdrop against which we live our lives.  Songs can bring vivid memories of persons, places, and events from our own past and serve to document our thoughts, feelings, and emotions at a given time or place.

 

Assignment:  Imagine you were asked to compile a soundtrack for your life.  What songs would you include?  Collect the titles of at least five songs that are meaningful to you and that you feel document something personal in your own life.  Just as music producers do, try to create a progression in the sequence of your chosen songs.  For example, your songs might be listed in the chronological order of the events they document, or they might be mixed together so that all of the slow songs are not back-to-back.  DO NOT just list them randomly.  Put some thought into the order of your songs and the complete package you are presenting.

 

Part 1 – Brainstorm

 

Come up with some major events in your life, and then think about songs that might represent those times.  It doesn’t have to make sense to everyone, but it should make sense to you.

Now, narrow that down to at least 5 songs and put them in the order you would like them to be on your album.  Make sure you spell the titles and the artist correctly!

  • For a song title, you need to capitalize the first letter of each word and put the whole title in quotation marks.
  • For the artist, make sure you capitalize the first letter of the first and last name.
