a growing realization

while watching tv last night, i realized something that i've thought before but was excellently affirmed in the particular show. Timely music/song clips in tv shows or movies make scenes really come to life and prey on your emotions more than people realize. I love to listen to music, and when i hear a song i like play in the background of a scene, my eyes/ears kind of perk up, or I am more apt to remember a certain scene if I really like the music in the background (ie. the first episode of the Black Donnelly's, there's a scene at the end of the movie after the two brothers just shot the rival gang members and are walking down the street realizing what the consequences are and what they just did and in the background Snow Patrol's "Open Your Eyes" is playing.......that scene is etched in my mind and every time i hear that song, which i love by the way, i remember that scene from that show). So anyway, last night we (steph and I) were watching Cold Case on CBS, and the following songs played....Coldplay - Speed of Sound, Aqualung - Brighter than Sunshine (also happens to be one of the songs on our wedding video), Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars and Open Your Eyes, and then they finished it off with Jet - Shine On. This was a music lover's paradise of a show, i spent more time singing along with the songs in the background than I did listening to what the characters were saying on the show. So I think i found something that would be a really fun job, to be the guy/girl who gets to watch this stuff and decide what music to overlay the scenes with that would put the entire thing over-the-top. Plus then I could have an excuse to listen to music 24-7.
