oh. . .a fun new music game

[katt]

this really only works if you have an mp3 player (to list your music, but anyone can guess)

Rules:

- Put your playlist on random.
- Post the first line from the first 15 songs
- No using the internet to find the lyrics—THAT’S CHEATING!

1. Hello darkness, my old friend
2. Build a bridge or maybe 2, together held with footsteps she outgrew
3. Alberta, Alberta, where you been so long
4. Love of mine, someday you will die,but I’ll be close behind, I’ll you into the dark
5. Keep a fire burning in your eyes, pay attention to the open sky
6. Were is the moment we needed themost, kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
7. It’s hard to argue when you won’tstop making sense, my tounge still misbehaves and it keeps digging myown grave
8. I am colorblind, coffee black and egg white
9. Well I am running down the road trying to loosen my load
10. What you want, baby I got it
11. Sunshine, on my shoulder makes me happy
12. Hello there, the angel from mynightmare, the shadow in the background of the morgue.
13. Let me know that I’ve done wrong, when I’ve known this all along
14. You fill up my senses like a walk in the forest
15. Hope dangles on a string, like slowspinning redemption

how many can you get?

Well I amrunning down the road trying to loosen my load -I knowthat's the Eagles-Take It Easy

1. Sunshine, on my shoulder makes mehappy (oh, that time it takes the # part :dunno -isn'tthat John Denver?

The rest I didn't know by the first line though. I should begood at this, music is my thang. I'll conjure one up laterfrom my computer, Idol's about to come on!

 

[katt]

close on the eagles. . .they do sing it, but ihave the original artist on my ipod (can anyone guess who the originalartist is?)

and yup. . .a little john denver. . .

so 9 and 11 are guessed. . .

 

[Spring]

I think I know # 10. Is it that R-E-S-P-E-C-Tsong? I forget who sings it and the name though hehe. And #12 is Blink182 Miss you. I'll have to think of the other ones

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

[katt]

yeah, i guess we should wait. . .

9, 10, 11, 12 are all guessed. . .and correctly. . .

and it is aretha franklin sings respect. . .

 

[Bassetluv]

LOL...I read the list and kept going, 'Oh! Oh! I know this one! It's...it's....DANG!!'

So I didn't really get a lot, just these (if my guesses are all correct):

1. The Sounds of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel)

2.

3. I probably should know this one, it mentioning a Canadianprovince and all, but...nope...

4.

5.

6. Bad Day (Daniel Powter)

7.

8.

9. Take It Easy (The Eagles?)

10. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. (Aretha!!)

11. Sunshine On My Shoulders (the man himself, John Denver )

You saw this, right?

 

[katt]

bravo bassetluv. . .

i too love john denver. . .

some are a little out there. . .and if i would have thought about it, iwould have skiped them and put different songs on the list (thoseinclude 2, 4, 7, and 15)

a few clues. . . the person who wrote take it easy also sang song number 5. . .

#2 is sung by an irish punk rock band

#4 is a more alternative rock band that has been around for a while,but only really has 1 major hit. . . and oddly the line i wrote talksabout dieing and so does the band's name. . .

#7 is also an alternative rock artist and currently has a song out thatis becomming very popular. . . during part of his music video he islaying down. . .

#15 is considered the original emo band. . .or at least what made emo famous. . .

i will happily givea hint to any of the others not guessed. . . just ask. . .

 

[AngelnSnuffy]

onder: Hints not helping me... dang it!

Is#7 Chris Daughtery? Prob not.

 

[katt]

nope. . .although i am surprized he didn't end up on the list. . .his new cd is on my IPOD. . .

another hint on 7 is that in the current song that is a big hit rightnow his music video (well, one version of it . . .there are 2 differentversions) it is raining. . .in both videos he is laying down. . .

 

[amberelizabeth]

#8 is colorblind by counting crows

 

[katt]

okay. . .i thought i would give the answers. . .

1)The Sounds of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel)

2)Factory Girls (Flogging Molly)

3)Alberta (Eric Clapton)

4)I'll Fallow you (Death Cab for Cutie)

5)For a Dancer (Jackson Browne)

6) Bad Day (Daniel Powter)

7) Hands Open (Snowpatrol)

12)Miss You (Blink-182)

13)Dirty Little Secret (All-American Rejects)

14)Annie's Song (John Denver)

15)Vindicated (Dashboard Confessional)

The ones that are bolded are the ones that weren't guessed. . .

a note on the take it easy sone (number 9). . .just to enlighteneveryone with a fact. it is well known that the eagles sing this song,and most people think of them when they hear this song, but theoriginal writer of this song (i don't think he performed and recordedit untill he put out his colo acoustic CDs) is jackson browne. . .thatis who sings it on my ipod, as i am yet to put my eagles cds in it yet.. .

 

[Michaela]

[AngelnSnuffy]

[Dwarf_Angel04]

Okay so here's another list to go through. I aplogize in advance as I really only listen to a selected group of music.



1. Well first you gotta want to get off bad enough to want to get on in the first place.
2. Riding on the range, I've got my hat on, I've got my boots dusty.
3. My love, there's only you in my life.
4. I could tell she was a hot rod when she walked in all alone.
5. The cows get loose and run right through the fast food parking lots.
6. When you light those candles up there on that mantle, setting themood..well, I just lie there staring silently preparing to love on you.
7. Walking along beneath the lights of that miracle mile, Me and Mary making our way into the night
8. Now that I've lost everything to you, you say you want to start something new.
9.Everytime our eyes meet this feeling inside me is almost more then I can take.
10. It started way back in third grade.
11. Imushed from Point Barrow thru abizzard of snow.
12. If I live to be a hundred and never see the seven wonders, that'll be alright.
13. Billy's at the bar he's been there all night.
14. Clear creeks and cool mountain mornin's.
15. Another day is going by I'm thinking about you all the time.


Edit: Fixed a typo.

 

[katt]

oh, this must be country. . .

i don't recognize a single one. . .

 

[Dwarf_Angel04]

There's a selected few that don't classify as country.

 

[katt]

"The cows get loose and run right through the fast food parking lots"

if this doesn't scream country. . .i don't know what does. . .

i am not much of a country person . . .infact that only 'country' i listen to is john denver. . .

 

[Dwarf_Angel04]

Yeah, I know LOL! That's all I 'own' though but I will tell you that the following are NOT country.

3
8
15

EDIT: I did abrief search to clarrify one of the artists and believe it or not, number 2 is also not country.
