Soundtrack To Our Lives
I was feeling a little nostalgic listening to Toni Braxton on my way to work and it got me to thinking about the playlist tags we used to do on Facebook years ago. One of those was a soundtrack to my life tag and because I was able to convince the rest of the ladies to participate in my sillyness, we’re going to do it as a group. The idea behind this is to score the film that is your life from the opening scene to the end credits with some of your favorite songs.
Because I’m obsessed with romantic comedies, that’s the genre of the film that is my life.
Opening Credits: Mariah Carey “I’m That Chick”
First Day: Stevie Wonder “That Girl”
Falling In Love: Amel Larrieux & Glenn Lewis “What’s Come Over Me”
Fight Song: Lizzo “Truth Hurts”

Driving: Quadron “Favorite Star”

Wedding: Amel Larrieux “I Do Take”
Love Scene: Corinne Bailey Rae “Closer”
