March Lyrical: The Background Music

March 31, 2011 by The Lilypad Admin Leave a Comment

Have you ever noticed how there’s always music playing for touching, exciting, dramatic, or even intense moments in movies.?  Where’s the music in our real life moments?  Can you hear the background music during your own adventures and moments… can you imagine what it would be?   For instance, (this is kind of odd)  when quietly reflecting on the moment that my youngest son took his walk down the church aisle to announce his profession of faith the song “Let’s Hear It For the Boy” (from the movie Footloose) kept playing in the background in my mind.  Now that’s what I hear each time I think about that moment. (It will get scrapped!)

If my life were a movie you would hear  the song “I‘m In A Hurry” by Alabama play quite often as I’m seen rushing from one place to another.  I hear it in my own head all the time during these kind of moments… but it’s good because it reminds me to slow down a bit.  That’s the kind of message I need to be reminded of on a regular basis… so I scrapped it…

(Come Find Me by Kaye Winiecki,  Tilt Templates Vol. 3 by Amy Martin, The First Year by Emily Merritt and Jenna Desai (retired), Engines Ready by Vinnie Pearce, Light Breeze by Jofia Devoe)

I instantly hear the lines “Everybody was kung fu fighting, those cats were fast as lightning…” as soon as I look back on the photos that I took of my little man at karate practice.  Now I’m not saying all the lyrics to the song fit the bill in every case… most of the time they don’t for me.  It’s usually just a line or two that gets stuck in my head.  Sometimes I just end up with my own interpretation of a song or partial lyrics from a song… the small part that fits my life as I see it.

(I Know Kung Fu by Jacque Larsen, Comic Relief by Jaque Larsen, Coloured In by Kaye Winiecki, Stripey Line Alpha by Kaye Winiecki, Scruffy and Stripey by Kate Hadfield, Cranberry Templates by Sara Gleason)

Here are a few more examples of my life played out with it’s background music….
