That’s right! A “soundtrack” for a book! Just another crazy idea I came up with. The book “soundtrack” will be available as an iMix through iTunes for your iPod. You can search for it in the iTunes “Music Store” under iMixs. Or you can listen to it as a playlist on my MySpace or facebook accounts. It is a compilation of the chapter titles and essay titles from the book. If you don’t have an iPod, you can always download the iMix and burn a CD of it through iTunes.
Music is a very powerful tool. It sparks a lot of emotions and memories. Since I’m not a very talkative guy, writing and music were the best ways to express myself during this difficult time. All these songs help to tell my story. The song titles in this book soundtrack are chapter and essay titles used in the book. I consider these songs to be the “condiments” to my “blook burger”. My contribution of course is the meat. You can’t have a burger without a bun! My friends’ contributions are the bun. The lettuce/ tomato or “healthy” stuff are the contributions from the healthcare professionals. And finally the essays from my family represent the “cheese”. Hahaha! I was listening to a bunch of the titles in the book, and I thought “I like all these songs. Wouldn’t it be cool if there was a book soundtrack?” This iMix was a unique way for me to pull it off!
See if you recognize the songs. You can legally download whatever song you like individually. Try reading the book with the soundtrack playing in the background to enhance the “experience”. Can you figure out why I chose some of the songs? What songs would you pick to tell your story?
The book soundtrack is an eclectic mix of popular hip hop, acoustic guitar, motown, 80’s glam rock, rat pack, alternitive, grunge, rock, and pop songs. “Sorry” to all the country fans out there. The country song used in the book was not available on iTunes. The iMix can be accessed in the iTunes store under music.
