Talie Takes A Crack At The Song Meme.
Ages ago - eons ago - morgan303 posted The Song Meme.
About the song that plays for that scene - you know, that scene -
that streetscape walk on a windy day
some perfect day
or that heavy day
that crystalline day
in the movie of your life.
And because I'm an introspective arsehole (nice image), I've been thinking about it for ages, eons...
This was the deal:
So, now it's your turn. What's your theme song, for that scene? It doesn't have to be your favourite song, or even the song that sums you up (because honestly, who has one of those?), but it's the song that plays while the camera pans alongside you as you saunter or stalk or swish. Why? And optional: what are you wearing? For extra points, give us some sort of Youtube link because I don't know shite about modern music and may never have heard of whatever it is you choose.:)
The song that gets to put a filmscore composer out of work while I go just a-walking down the street?
I'm going with this...
Why? Once a Doom Princess, always a Doom Princess, I suppose. I don't think I'll ever 100% get away from that moribund romantic metal (although I'm not a conservative or exclusive metalhead, and neither am I a softcore one - my record collection would make those big tattooed oafs out there CRY, it is stocked with classics). I'm a sucker for the sad stuff, but I'm also a sucker for the cheeseball heroic stuff. And don't you just know I try to live like that, in those moments of black burst dashes toward brilliance. Between the grey heartbeats, and the silence, and the terrible knowing.
And more personally, as an artist/as a person (these are not separate things) I'm going through a process where somewhere in the hurricane hope is waiting - it isn't hopeless, but there's still a cold and burning road, and such wreckage to negotiate.
What am I wearing? Fuck. I have an insanely large wardrobe of fucking gorgeous outfits, and I rarely wear anything but low-key boring shit because I'm always rushing from one thing to the next. Perhaps something I'll balance one day. I'd like to trot out some more fun clothes, coz hey this is life... and I really ought to get more fashion conscious, because, fuck, it's a long song.
Did I even mention I don't have the shoes to go with the outfits, I'm often between shoes and limping with blisters, because shoes cannot be thrift-shopped if you have to wear two pairs of explorer socks over your stockings in a ladies size 5. (That's a UK size 36.) Out with mass production and bring back the cobblers, I say.
And thus ends Talie Takes A Crack At The Song Meme.
Your turn...
