(no not a stripper...remove head from bad place)
day 76...
the job where you get to pick (or create; which is truly a talent) the music that goes into movies or tv shows...think about it...the power to evoke so much emotion in one scene with no words being spoken, only the music that fills it, so powerful, so amazing...
...the score from the last of the mohicans, which basically defines how awesome the movie is...
...the music from, titanic (no matter how you feel about the movie) literally imagine, & recall the scene where people lose their lives in the freezing water...
...then jurassic park (side note there is commentary from the composer), where they arrive on the island for the first time & the music is as big as the dinosaurs in the movie...
...how can anyone not hear the sounds of the waltz from the the Godfather, only to give you instant quotes that float in your head, "leave the gun, grab the canolis", "you broke my heart fredo..."
...image molding clay & being seduced by the love your life, ghost
...or how about balling your eyes out at the very sound from love story...grab your tissues
...falling in love with holly golightly in breakfast at tiffany's as she sings from her window ledge...
...who remembers being a kid & hearing the very sound of star wars, and can see darth vader march, & later reveal to "luke, i am your father"...
...who laughs hysterically at stu the dentist singing a song after a night of shenanigans the hangover...
...& we all know you want to dance & have the water splash all over you to just feel a smidge like jennifer beals in flashdance...(another epic song, flashdance 2, final scene, got to have it)
& this could go on & on & on and literally and on with all these songs, by the mere beat or beginning sound you can not only identify what movie, but exactly what was going on in that movie at the exact song...almost as if that song evokes an emotion that will always make you think of that movie...
(a game i recommend, the movie game, you play the song the other person names the movie, used to kick my brother, nick's ars in it; good for those car rides, yes we are cool)
& i leave you with this, how many of you when you hear a little song called time of my life, you immediately envision not only running into patrick swayze's arm for the lift, & then him singing to you at the end of dirty dancing...
have fun with this one, & let the music move you!
