After nearly 3 decades of listening to the radio, especially pop and country in the past few years, I’ve come to the conclusion that you could write an entire life script through songs. I started one below and I know there are dozens more that could be added to the storyline, I just don’t have the time or energy at 8am to be creative with it.
So here goes:
Girl likes boy who doesn’t know she likes him: Teardrops on my Guitar by Taylor Swift
Boy and girl eventually get together: Next time I Fall by Peter Cetera
Boy and Girl Date: Come on Over by Jessica Simpson
Boy and Girl finally “do it”: I’ll Make Love to You by Boys 2 Men
Boy cheats on girl: Take a Bow by Rihanna
Boy is sorry he cheated on the girl: Best of Intentions by Travis Tritt
Girl tries to get over boy: Time, Love and Tenderness by Michael Bolton
Girl finds a new love interest: The First Cut is the Deepest by Sheryl Crow
Girl and New Boy get married: I Swear by All For One
Couple has a baby: A New Day has Come by Celine Dion
Daddy loves his daughter: Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle
Marriage lasts: Still the One by Shania Twain
And they lived happily ever after!
I could go on a whole other saga about their kid. I could do it in country songs alone, especially if the daughter and her love interests have a lot of fights!
Yeah, I listen to the radio an awful lot…

I like this!
How to tell that we grew up in different countries, I hardly knew any of these songs! :)
My name and its pronunciation:
In German:
Kat long "ah" as in "cot"
Rin as in "in", the r in the back of your palate.
In English.
Ka as in "cat"
Trin as in "trin(ity)"
or
Kat - long "ah" as in "cot"
Trin as in "trene".
I've heard English speakers pronounce it both ways, and don't really mind which one they use. :)
Don't worry, Cat-trin, I don't know many of the songs, either! And not only did I grow up in the same country as Karen, we were in the same city and have been friends since HS.
However, I like Soundtracks To Life. I wonder what mine would sound like?
ok, some of these are current (ie taylor swift, rihanna) but others are oldies, mart!
you need to write your soundtrack!
I ought to try to write an opera life story soundtrack...but I guess that could get difficult seeing as opera characters are so apt to end up in some kind of strange situation.
Good list. However, I vote to add the following:
New Boy treats girl right: "I do it for you" by Bryan Adams (from the Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves movie).
I agree with Viki!
Thanks for the pronounciation Katrin!
I can't believe you put Michael Bolton in your soundtrack.....
I'm almost embarassed to say I know you. :P
It's called an iPod, and if you have one you are no doubt carrying pretty darned close to your entire life's soundtrack on it.
Mine's up past 3,000 and growing. When I die I will offer it as a download to anyone who wants to remember me through the music I listened to.
I'm even categorizing the playlists to represent different periods of my life to make it easy.
Radio is soooo 20th century.
