Story Behind The Song
I (Marianne) was sitting in my car in a bank parking lot waiting to use the ATM while noticing the bass thumping in a rap track playing in the car next to me, when church bells started to chime. The idea was born to actually make a track of these basic everyday sounds including a heartbeat, clock ticking, plus city sounds. Here are the results!

Lyrics
Soundtrack of Your Life
Listen to what it's saying...
Listen to how it's playing...
Listen to what it's saying...
Listen to how it's playing...
V1
It's your destiny with a melody
Catch the rhythm and the rhyme.
It's an energy, like a symphony
With your heartbeat keeping time.
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
V2
It's reality with a harmony
Find the tempo and the beat.
It's your history, as a mystery,
In the cadence of the street.
Chorus
Listen to what it's saying...
Listen to how it's playing...
Listen to what it's saying...
Listen to how it's playing...
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
It's the soundtrack of your life!
Bridge
You can spin your days in a virtual haze,
Or choose to listen as the music plays...
Chorus
Listen to what it's saying...
Listen to how it's playing...
Listen to what it's saying...
Listen to how it's playing...
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
It's the soundtrack of your life!
