OST- My life, the musical!

Thanks K for the inspiration and the laughs. Excellent entry in the comments as well, Prince Ali.
Here's how it goes:
1. Put your media player into shuffle mode with all your music available.
2. Let it play
3.What's the 10 top songs that come up (and keep them in order they play in)
4. Place them in order into the major life events
5.Write your story!

here's my first attempt....

Intro: Anywhere on this road (Lhasa de Sela)
School: Shiny (Decemberist)
Falling in love: Assasin (Muse)
Fight scene: Lying from you (Linkin Park)
Break up: A smile that explodes (Joseph Arthur)
Get back together: Runaway (Linkin Park)- macam tak get back together jer
Wedding: Look of love (Grover Washington Jr.)- some early 90's sounding instrumental jazz number
Birth of kid: Saat aku lanjut usia (Sheila on 7)
Death: That i would be good (Alanis Morrisette)

Ahh- looks like a typical tragic drama-rama with a happy ending.
A childhood filled with impermanence and yearning for security and unconditional love.
Getting up to a whole lot of antics in school but never meaning to cause anyone any harm.
Falls in love at with a boy who's a revolutionary? (im stretching myself here, assasin is not a fall in love song, is it now?)
We fight at home, over dinner about his revolutionary work. What started off as conversation turns into us screaming horrible accusations at each other. It ends with us storming away, me packing my bags to leave.
There is no real break up, no words spoken after the fight. I wake up realizing how much i love him. Never quite getting around to telling him how i feel.
Linkin park again? This is so not a get back together song. He finds me at a friends home. He's being hunted down by the police. He tells me he cant stay in the country anymore, he has to leave. Now. He asks me to follow. I concede, for the love of the boy.
Married in a simple ceremony with surrounded by new friends in a foreign country. A funky jazzy tune the Dj plays as the guests are eating. Its that kinda song.....
Well, not really a song about the kid, but more about our relationship. How we'll still be together when we're old and creaky.
And it ends with a song about living the best i can with what life hands out-good or bad. Like this story, making the best out of a really wierd shuffle.
