I've often spoke about music and how it can act as a soundtrack to our everyday lives. It can make a sunny day even brighter or add an orchestral touch to a magnificent winter scene.
Today, from the warmth of the library, I gazed out onto the slushy roads beside Davis Centre. Students walked by with their heads buried in coats, trying to escape the icy wind. There was a young couple talking. As I watched on, it was not only talking but arguing. It seemed as if I was watching a movie.
As the girl started to walk away, the boyfriend grabbed her arm - pleading with her. But she pulled herself away. They began to argue more. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could tell that voices were being raised. Unable to listen in to the drama unfolding infront of me, I fired up my soundtrack box and added in a serious piece of music from the "Children of Dune" soundtrack.
It really felt like a movie- in real life.
In the end, the couple walked off together, girl in tears. But together.
Interesting. Maybe not so much the event itself, but the act of adding a soundtrack to life.
