Soundtrack of My Life

In an answer to a question posed a long time ago, if you had 13 songs that made up the soundtrack of your life, what would those songs be?

And curiously (this disturbed me a little) - there were a lot of song titles with the word "dream" in them. Entirely coincidental, I convince myself.

1. Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over
2. The Cranberries - Dreams
3. KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
4. Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
5. James Blunt - 1973
6. Heart - These Dreams
7. Bread - Goodbye Girl
8. Damien Rice - 9 Crimes
9. Anna Nalick - Breathe (2 am)
10. Indigo Girls - Love Will Come to You
11. Craig Armstrong (Liz Frazer) - This Love
12. Sarah McLachlan - Good Enough
13. Bent - Private Road

Oddly enough, these are nice songs, not all of them are my favourite, but all of them are very apt.

Gave it more thought and came back to this one. I can't wait until I turn 30, because there'll be 3 decades of music worth mentioning at least in my life. I break them up into phases -

Decade 1: 0 - 10

Where the music influences of your life really depends on the music other people are listening to at the time.

1. Crowded House - Don't Dream It's Over
2. Erasure - A Little Respect
3. Depeche Mode - Somebody
4. Whitney Houston - The Greatest Love of All
5. Bread - Goodbye Girl

Decade 2: 11 - 20

The longest, most mixed up mix-tape possible.

1. Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)
2. The Cranberries - Dreams
3. Heart - These Dreams
4. Indigo Girls - Love Will Come to You
5. Sarah McLachlan - Good Enough

Decade 3: 21 - 30

Progression...

1. Anna Nalick - Breathe (2 am)
2. Craig Armstrong (Liz Frazer) - This Love
3. Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved
4. James Blunt - 1973
5. Bent - Private Road

Youth is a funny thing. When you have it, you spend your time wishing that you don't - and when you don't, you spend the rest of your time wishing that you did. I guess the same could be said of many other things better seen in hindsight, but it's the one thing regret cannot touch.
