Okay, so I’ve been meaning to mess around with movie soundtracks, specifically “The Watch” – you know, that one with Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, and Jonah Hill? The soundtrack’s got some killer classic rock and hip-hop tracks, and I wanted to pull them together for a workout playlist. Here’s how I went about it.
Figuring Out the Tracks
First things first, I needed the actual tracklist. I didn’t want to just guess, I wanted to be sure.
So, I hit up Google, plain and simple, typing in something like “the watch movie soundtrack”. Boom! Several sites popped up, listing all the songs. I usually cross-reference a couple of these sites, just to be extra certain I’m not missing anything. It’s like double-checking your work in math class, only less boring.
Compiling My List
Once I was sure I had the full list, I started making my own. I just used a simple note-taking app on my phone. Nothing fancy, just a bulleted list:
- Track 1 – Artist 1
- Track 2 – Artist 2
- Track 3 – Artist 3
- and so on…
I kept it pretty basic, just the song title and artist. I could’ve added album names or whatever, but honestly, I just wanted to get to the listening part.
Building the Playlist
With my tracklist in hand, I opened up my music app (everyone uses one of a million, pick your poison, I don’t judge). I created a new playlist and named it “The Watch Workout Mix” – original, I know.
Then, it was just a matter of searching for each song and adding it to the playlist. This part took a little while, gotta scroll through and find the exact right versions, you know? Sometimes there are a million remixes or live versions, and I wanted the ones from the actual movie.
Test Run and Tweaks
Finally, with the playlist built, I had to give it a test run. I put on my headphones and hit the gym (okay, fine, my living room). As I listened, I realized a couple of songs didn’t quite fit the workout vibe I was going for. So, I went back into the playlist and made a few adjustments, swapping out a slower track for something with a bit more energy.
It’s all about trial and error, really. You gotta feel the music, see if it motivates you. And that’s pretty much it! Now I’ve got a custom-made playlist inspired by “The Watch” soundtrack. It’s not rocket science, but it gets the job done, and I feel pretty good about that.
