Silliness from the Past
Way back when burning CDs was still a novel thing, I used to derive great pleasure from compiling custom CDs and creating full artwork and whatnot for them. (Click on any of these images for the full-size image.)
This is one of the very first ones I did. The idea was, suppose my life was a movie… what would the soundtrack be? And this is what I came up with. I found it the other day in the back of my car - I wonder what it was doing there?
Let’s open up the CD case, shall we?
Ah, there’s the song list. Rather unusual - but then, I’m rather unusual myself, so it fits!
There’s the inside jacket - yes, I even went so far as to create a folded insert.
And there, of course, is the CD (sorry it’s crooked).
It all seems a bit corny now in retrospect - but at the time it meant a lot to me. And many (although not all) of these songs are still relevant - they haven’t lost their appropriateness as pieces in the soundtrack to my life just because a few years have passed.
It’s like a time capsule in a way… a look back at how I felt back then - through music.
I suppose the whole “soundtrack for your life” thing is not unique to me - I’m sure many other people have done exactly the same thing.
So what’s the soundtrack to your life?

Life isn’t always happy; if it was, it would be pretty boring. There are several sad (or maybe “wistful” would be a better term) songs in my soundtrack.
