Have you even come across a song that seemed to fit something perfectly? A book, a movie, a TV series, or even just a mood or a feeling or a memory? Have you even come across several songs that elicited the same reaction? And have you ever wanted to put those songs together in a playlist or soundtrack?
What was the song (or songs) and what did it remind you of? What made them so perfect? Share! Share any experiences you've had that made you want to compile a bunch of songs together for whatever reason, even if it was just "I had this one song that reminded me of _____ and I wanted to make a playlist, but I never found any other songs."
I remember back several years ago when I first heard the song "Behind Blue Eyes" by The Who and it was around the same time I saw this TV show called Firefly. One of the main characters of the show acts very cold-hearted and distant, but beneath that he cares a lot about the people close to him. It's the exact picture being painted in Behind Blue Eyes:

"When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool"
I don't know what the song is "really about" but it's clear to me it's about someone who won't let their feelings show. I wanted to develop this into something else, but I didn't find any other songs at the time that I felt fit so I let the idea go.Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
