A quick mini-blog to post the answers to my last blog...only received one response to my lyric questions, and that responder had 3 of 5 correct. So, thanks Ethan, and for the rest of you, here's the 4-1-1..
Song #1 - Eminem/Lose Yourself
Song #2 - U2/Kite
Song #3 - Pearl Jam/Better Man
Song #4 - Mandy Moore/Gardenia
Song #5 - Third Day/Revelation
So, wanna play again? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Song #1: I miss the sound of your voice Loudest thing in my head And I ache to remember All the violent, sweet perfect words that you said
Song #2: When you find me in the morning Hanging on a warning...oh... The joke is on you
Song #3: He's a stranger to some and a vision to none He can never get enough, get enough of the one For a fortune he'd quit but it's hard to admit How it ends and begins on his face is a map of the world
Song #4: Oh sweetheart put the bottle down You've got too much talent I see you through those bloodshot eyes There's a cure, you've found it
Song #5: Well you thought you let go, but you’re still hanging on Mother earth’s slowing down, she’s still spinning around And we, are getting dizzy
Apparently my life is either too boring or too busy to write anything of substance...so for now, we'll just play...
I'm a bit of a lyric junkie...not that I can always sing along to every song, but I love to figure out the lyrics of songs...think about them...wonder what the writer was thinking about when they wrote it...assuming many times that it was something deeply profound only to find out later it was written about a crazy cat around the corner from their cousin's house...but whatever...it's still fun!
I'm always amazed at people who love a song but really have no clue what the lyrics are or what the song's about. I get liking a song for the music...there are certainly some that fall into that category for me...but sometimes, once I know the lyrics, I can't listen anymore...sometimes the lyrics ruin a song.
Anyway, just for fun...let's play a game...can you guess the song these lyrics are from? What about the artist? Have fun!
Song #1: His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
Song #2: Did I waste it? Not so much I couldn't taste it Life should be fragrant Rooftop to the basement
Song #3: Waitin', watchin' the clock, it's four o'clock, it's got to stop Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech As he opens the door, she rolls over... Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
Song #4: Well, I put so much thought into getting ready Now I know that was the best part It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting Forget what I got from a wounded heart
Song #5: Give me a revelation Show me what to do 'Cause I've been trying to find my way I haven't got a clue
