Mu$!c & M()^!e$ - The Storyline
by R.E.I.P.P
Can music or movies really describe and define your life? Some say yes, some say no. I think..maybe. Most of my favorite songs are my favorite songs because they help to comfort me or make me happy. What are the top ten songs that describe your life? They don't necessarily have to be from the genre that you like, they just have to describe you.
For example, KEEP HOLDING ON is a very inspirational song. I would say anyone could relate to the song because in order to get anywhere in life you had to hold on through tough times. Another example is ATONEMENT. This is a movie that could define someones life. It's a depressing and realistic story.
There are also those songs and movies you wish your life was like. PRIDE AND PREJUDICE, with Elizabeth and Darcy, is one of the most classic love story's. I would dare to say many people wish they had a love like that. I also bet many people wish they had a friendship like the one established in Wicked between Elphaba and Glinda described in FOR GOOD.
But can someone go through life wishing it was this or that movie or cooping with every other song? I bet they could. It might not be the best thing, but its plausible. Everyone uses the media as a sort of cooping device. I would agree this is good from time to time. But you cant live in a dream. There is so much discussion over the topics of optimism or pessimism. I might say an optimistic person would listen to these songs and watch these movies and think maybe that could happen to them or on a good day say that is them. I would doubt a pessimistic person would do that.
One of the most commonly asked questions is "Is the glass half empty or half full?" What would you say? Personally, i think its just a cup that has stuff in it. Theres really nothing special about it. But as human beings we always find a way to complicate things to the extreme. It really is amazing how we can confuse any topic and stretch any information to fit our own belief.
With the help of songs and movies we let our imagination take flight; we need this little break from reality. And because so many songs and movies have been made over the years i would dare to say you could find one to describe about any mood you were in.

So i guess, yes, technically, music and movies can describe and define our lives - but that doesn't mean they should. We shouldn't dwell on the past, just remember it. We shouldn't wallow in self pity when there are so many other things we could be doing. you only live this life once, so make the most of it! You never know when its going to be over. I love music. I love movies. I have songs or movies that i watch or listen to when i'm in a certain mood or that represent a memory. This is good, this is healthy i would say. Nevertheless, we cannot get to the point where we live our lives though the media. We need to go out and live them for ourselves! There's nothing wrong with taking a little music, some movies, and memories with us on the road.
