I was watching Indiana Jones today and I considered how integral the theme music is to the story. I'm a fan I'm not ashamed to admit and as soon as that little bit of music kicks off and you know that means Indy is about to do something incredibly cool and daring, I feel that adrenaline rush and feel like I'm there swashbuckling alongside him, willing and capable of accomplishing anything. James Bond instills exactly the same emotions in me.
It occurs to me that these feelings wouldn't be half so powerful without the music. I then consider that if this story was real - if Indiana was actually out there doing these things - then he probably couldn't hear that music. It makes me think he must be a greater man than I just to keep on saving the day without hearing a soundtrack.
The point of all this, even though it isn't really much of a sane point, is that I'd like to think that in some alternate dimension someone is watching my movie right now - the movie about me. If this is the case then I'm willing to bet that I have some pretty damn cool theme music and if I could only hear what that sounded like then I could probably be inspired to go out and do all kinds of life changing things and probably save the world.
As it is, my movie is a pretty dull drama... It's currently doing no good at all at the box office.
I mean to find out what my music is.
