Elevated elevator music

Sometimes I have this distressing urge to live life like a song. Its mostly a Massive Attack kinda song with its slow intoxicating beats , that would always have to be shot in black and white with lots of smoke in the video. It would have to have a woman jiving slowly while mouthing into a lone mic -stand on an empty dark stage with a half burnt cigarette in her hand. It would have tons of disconnectd visuals in it which would hardly make any sense on the first glance. The melody would have to be mesmerising almost,drawing you into it at the first listen, not because you really understood whats its all about, but because somehow the music that you heard gave you an impression that it possibly best represented your life at the moment.

Or how about the living life like one of those scenes from a movie wherein the guy is meeting the girl for the first time outside a club that they both were in. Its slightly dark and you can hear the muted beats from the club in the background. Just loud enough to break the silence but soft enough to allow for meaningful conversation along the sidewalk. An invitation for a coffee perhaps? Or maybe just curious "hi" with raindrops in the hair.

Even living a 90s alternate video would be nice wherein i would be somewhere in the background while the girl from the Blind Melon's "No Rain" video would be doing her thing. Or being one of the circus extras in the RedHotChilliPeppers " Soul to Squeeze" video. A tramp travelling with a circus, watching the freaks put on their show every night. Or sitting along the beach watching Eddie and the boys surf while they did the "Oceans" video. Black and white and water.
Now that would be a life wouldn't it...
