I think it all started when I started taking headphones to work. Most of the times I only listen to music when walking to the bus/waiting for the bus/riding the bus. But those seem to be the most perfect moments.
I will step out of my building on Smith Street. My cold skin is quickly warmed by the afternoon sun. My embittered heart is warmed with the happiness of knowing I am going home. I take a deep breathe, smile, and begin the trek to the bus stop. Walking down the street, hair blowing in the wind, sun on my face, Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper begins to play. It's like I am in a movie. An 80's movie. And I couldn't be happier. The world quiets into slow-motion, and it's just me walking through the world. Walking through life. Going somewhere and nowhere all at the same time.
:D
Just like a movie.
It doesn't have the same effect when I'm scanning. Although I do feel a little bit Office Space-y with some background music to set the intense mood. It's usually just a little bit more Brand New than Cyndi Lauper. If you know what I mean.
P.S.: I really like the song Time after Time by Cyndi Lauper. Mainly, I hope that people think of the chorus when they think about me and their friendship with me.
If you fall, I will catch you, I'll be waiting, time after time."

hahaha. that was good.
from now on, i will always think of you and that song :)
you should put that in your will, that you want that song to be your theme song as you dance your way to heaven. everyone that knew you well would probably really enjoy that. i know i would. but actually i think we will get raptured before we taste death.
but at least you can say its in your will.
i know exactly what you're talking about.
the songs "23" by Jimmy Eat World
and "So Here We Are" by Bloc Party (along with many others) do that for me.
i really wish my life had a soundtrack.
