What would your life's soundtrack be?

Do include youtube links, if you don't mind!

You don't have to list the songs in any particular order, or even specify which part of your life is represented by each song. Do it however you want! I'll begin.

Childhood:
"Hello Earth" - Kate Bush
"As The World Falls Down" - David Bowie

Stumbling awkwardly through early teen years:
"Fox in the Snow" - Belle & Sebastion
"Precious Things" - Tori Amos

First love:
"Brena" - A Perfect Circle
"Touched" - VAST

Later teen years and early 20s:
"Hall of Mirrors" - The Distillers
"Running Up That Hill" - Faith and The Muse (when I moved to Omaha, Nebraska on a whim only for it to fall apart within a month)
"The Bottom Line" - Depeche Mode (first real love and serious relationship)
"Flatlands" - Chelsea Wolfe & Mark Lanegan (my move to Louisiana)
"Off to the Races" - Lana Del Rey (a...strange period of shameless debauchery just before and after the move)
"No Light, No Light" - Florence & The Machine (my very difficult relationship with an emotionally abusive alcoholic)
"I Wanna Be Adored" - The Stone Roses

Meeting the love of my life, who I never got to meet in person due to my own fear, depression and stupidity at the time:
"Crawled Out Of The Sea" - Laura Marling
"Wolf Like me" - Anna Calvi
"Runner" - Dustin O'Halloran

Mid 20s-present:
"Persephone - Nue" - Hector Zazou
"a Fire in the Forest" - David Sylvian
"Shake It Out" (childrens' choir version) - Florence & The Machine
"Born" - Over the Rhine

Wow, I spent way longer on that than I intended..

"Clubbed to Death" and "Clubbed to Death II" by Rob Dougan. The first is known for being on the soundtrack to The Matrix -- the second is lesser-known but really beautiful. The elements he tied together into these works of art create a sound that just fits me, fits my life, so well I can't explain it...and the reasons he used different sounds, and stuff like that. He basically revisits this same piece from time to time, like it calls to him somehow. I think it's beautiful.

The second one came to me at such a pivotal time in my life, and was so perfect... I have always felt very powerfully that these pieces of music captured something ineffable about the story arc that is my soul's journey through this life.

One of those things that's hard to explain, I guess...

I'd link them here, but, ugh. Newbie or whatever. Guess I'll come back to the thread later or something, lol.

My 'life soundtrack' tends to change as my tastes in music changes. There have been so many songs I've heard and liked in my life, it's hard to pin it down and I can do this the 'old, nostalgic way' or my 'riverthead, goth way'.

As you all may/not be aware among my many strange things I am/do, I also happen to be a Cyber Goth...like one of these:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com...258e29b995.jpg

So, bearing that in mind, let's do this:

Childhood:

Pong - Eisenfunk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNAdtkSjSps

Machine - Noisuf -X
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDo-A55B1g0

Smart Patrol/Mr DNA - Devo
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQvEu6G-i_0

Awkward teenage years:

The Great Depression - Aesthetic Perfection
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx4Zw34MOY4

Psychosocial - Slipknot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5abamRO41fE

For the Sick and Disturbed - Agonoize
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRktRT51iPI

First love:

Space Age Love Song - A Flock of Seagulls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mt9FG9YjBMM

Later teens - mid life:

Not the World I Remember - FGFC820
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjBZgLSvWbk

Chrome - VNV Nation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTL8NtqGdw4

Sanctified - Nine Inch Nails
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXBiYFoHsOg

That will do for now...
