Personal Soundtrack


Personal Soundtrack, originally uploaded by ben.obrien.

Have you ever been watching a movie that has you engulfed-you are
there in the shoes of the protagonist feeling what he is feeling.
Think of your favorite movie, of a scene when he is relieved but
focused. Then a key element of the scene comes through your ears:
the perfect music. A team of people have chosen the music that would
just fit. The music competes the scene. It just makes it right. Like on the Matrix when Neo just killed the bad guy and he is walking through the street of crowded people and Rage Against the Machine comes on. Or on Dumb and Dumber when they first start their road trip and they are so excited to ge going to Aspen where the beer flows like wine and the women flock like the salmon of capastrana.

The soundtrack for me that made the scene of passing through a crowded
O'Hare airport perfect?

Chicago by Sufjan Stephens.
