The One About the Background Music Moment

Do you know how, in movies, there are these parts wherein there are just movements happening in the screen, no dialogue, no interaction, where the main character is usually just walking or looking around, and there is this really appropriate background music playing?

yeah, that is what you call--or atleast--what I have deemed to call the Background Music Moment. These moments are not necessarily emo, but its easier to spot when you're in that certain mood, yes?

I was able to spot three such moments for me recently and I dare not cheat by using my iPod. The background music moments I have are completely spontaneous and unplanned, which I think is the best part.

Take this morning for example: sitting in the passenger seat of my car while my dad drove me to school, holding my pack of tissues and looking out into the space beyond the window and the outside that stood behind it, then from the radio, burst out If Only by the Calling. It was, how do you say it, shocking! It wasn't until the chorus was sung a third time did I realize I was having an Background Music Moment, and I could even imagine how I'd look like if it were being shot in a film (me and my fantasies)...

"If only love could find us all,
if only hearts didn't have to fall..

And if somehow fate were in my hands

Would it be enough to understand

Why we feel lost in a world so small

If only love could find us all..."

And I could remember snapping back into reality and twisting my head so fast, looking at the radio that my dad said "what's wrong?" and that I had to say that I thought I felt my phone vibrate and that it made me jump. But, beh, it was the song.

What's my point in bringing this up? Well, nothing really. But I think its in the totally random thoughts that you get to peek into who a person is and what he or she is really thinking.

Don't you agree?

And, well, it may partially be because I want a good kind of background music moment. Haha. I had one when I was determined to pass this exam and.. well, it worked! Haha! It was  Watch Me Shine, the music in Legally Blonde where Elle studied her ass off. So, yeeeaaaah. Haha!

My mind is actually too shallow right now to touch emo topics. And even if it were in a deep mood...wweeeelll...
