Life's Soundtrack

Wouldn't it be handy if there was a soundtrack to our lives?

Think about it. In the movies, the soundtrack is often a form of warning for what is about to take place. If there was a soundtrack to life, maybe we could be more prepared for life's surprises, or just stay along for the ride and enjoy the music. For the moments when all was well, maybe a favourite song would be playing. For those moments when something could potentially jump out of the closet, there would be the Jaws theme. In those moments of sadness, Sarah McLaughlan would come on.

Maybe though, the effect would not be so good. Thinking back to poor Neville from the Harry Potter series and to his Remembrall, which is supposed to remind him that he's forgotten something, he could never remember what he forgot. Maybe it would be more annoying then anything to be deciphering what scare would soon take place, and the Sarah McLaughlan would get annoying when you just wanted some peace and quiet.

Still, food for thought.
