It's been too long since I last meme'ed

[fan_elune]

I like this meme, and meivocis was doing it again, so I figured... yeah, let's go for another round.

1. Put your MP3 player or whatever on random.
2. Post the first line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song.
3. Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from.
4. Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly.
5. Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING.

01. I picked you out... of a crowd and talked to you, said I liked your shoes, you said thanks can I follow you?
Bright Eyes, Lover I Don't Have To Love. (wields_a_pen)

02. Messenger of fear in sight, dark deception kills the light. Hybrid children watch the sea, pray for Father, roaming free.

03. Children lying in their beds, just remember what your mother says, don't you worry, don't you cry...
Chris Isaak, Black Flowers. (jade_plume)

04. Hey mister, where you headed? Are you in a hurry?
Green Day, Hitchin' A Ride. (thevelvetsun)

05. We suffer everyday, what is it for. These crimes of illusion, are fooling us all.
Portishead, Only You. (jade_plume)

06. I see a river, it's oceans that I want. You have to give me everything, everything's not enough.
Depeche Mode, I Want It All. (jade_plume)

07. J'ai tellement attendu, ça m'a rendu malade alors aujourd'hui, dans mon lit...
M, Close to me. (overcraft)

08. I got my first real six-string, bought it at the five-and-dime, played 'til my fingers bled.
Bryan Adams, Summer of '69. (emma_daisy)

09. Virginia's almost sleeping, the night is getting older, there's static on the tv and she's lying on the sofa, cats crawl over her.

10. Here hangs an open landscape, a wild and huge frontier, from a harsh and a barren wasteland... through the grave to the promised field.

11. The hunger inside given to me makes me what I am. Always it is calling me, for the blood of mine.
Marylin Manson, Redeemer. (the_grynne)

12. You fell away, what more can I say, the feelings evolved, I won't let it out. I can't replace your screaming face, feeling the sickness inside...
Chester Bennington, System. (the_grynne)

13. Joss... The man they call Joss...
The Bedlam Bards, Ballad of Joss. (twixou)

14. Precious and fragile things... need special handling. My god what have we done to you?
Depeche Mode, Precious. (expastic)

15. He had a lot to say. He had a lot of nothing to say. We'll miss him. We'll miss him.
Tool, Eulogy. (the_grynne)

16. So you're tired and you're beat and you worked all week and you need a place where you can let it go...
Kane, The House Rules. (emma_daisy)

17. Here we are, born to be kings, we're [title of the track].
Queen, The Princes of the Universe. (littlegothsin)

18. You're [title of the track], and you don't know, that's why you're special.
Robbie Williams, One of God's Better People. (rwrockdj)

19. I need to be myself. I can be no one else. I'm feeling [title of the track], give me gin and tonic...
Oasis, Supersonic. (overcraft)

20. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me, callin me all the time

21. Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort.
Papa Roach, Last Resort. (emma_daisy)

22. Invite me to a party, hang some colour on the walls. It makes me feel like eighteen, I’m gonna change things for us all.

23. Guess who just got back today? Them wild-eyed boys that had been away.
Thin Lizzy, The Boys Are Back In Town(expastic)

24. I only wanna say things that are pure: now I won't be talking anymore.
Nada Surf, Bad Best Friend. (overcraft)

25. If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I'd like to do... is to save every day 'til eternity passes away, just to spend them with you.
Jim Croce, Time in a Bottle. (overcraft)

26. Skipping beats, blushing cheeks, I am struggling, daydreaming, bed scenes in the corner café.
Imogen Heap, Say goodnight and go. (thevelvetsun)

27. Lovely, never never change, keep that breathless charm...
Mel Thormé (covering Frank Sinatra), The Way You Look Tonight. (rwrockdj)

28. People talkin' tryin' to break us up, why won't they let us be? Bricks and stones may break my bones, but talk don't bother me.
Ray Charles, Sticks and Stones. (overcraft)

29. People will know when they see this show, the kind of a guy I am.
Rufus Wainwright, One Man Guy. (shadesofbrixton)

30. I think... it's getting to the point where I can be myself again... it's getting to the point where we have almost made amends.
Barenaked Ladies, Call and Answer. (wields_a_pen)

Of course you'd also be a Kane fan. *BEAMS*

No time to go icon-frenzy on J today. It's very sad, having a life. A friend and I drank to Jennifer and Vince yesterday, seeing as we could've been stalking them that very moment.

[littlegothsin.livejournal.com]

17. Here we are, born to be kings, we're [title of the track].

Princes of the Universe, Queen

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Hee! Queen and/or Highlander fan?

[817.livejournal.com]

27. The Way You Look Tonight, Frank Sinatra or some random cover ;)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Not so random as brilliant. Don't ask me why, but I'm in love with Mel Thormé's version. Sped up quite a bit. Lovely. :)

*prods* I was so relying on you to find the one random Robbie song, mate.

[wields-a-pen.livejournal.com]

1. Bright Eyes - Lover I Don't Have to Love ... ohhhh did this song do wonders for me whenever I was angsty!

30. Barenaked Ladies - Call & Answer

I need to do this meme! :D

I adore this song. It's simply brilliant. And I was expecting you or B to get 30, yay!

[jade-plume.livejournal.com]

#5 : I want it all, Depeche Mode
I think #3 is a Chris Isaak one... Which I don't remember the title ^^
And I guess #13 comes from a fan version of "Ballad of Jaynestown" ?
Our love for him now, ain't hard to explain,
the hero of canton , the man they call Jayne !

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

6, yes, not 5. And it is, indeedn, Chris Isaak. Come on, I'm sure you can do it.
Indeed, it's the Ballad of Joss by the Bedlam Bards. Great filk!

[twixou.livejournal.com]

I couldn't help it:

13. Ballad of Joss, Bedlam Bards.

Btw, more pictures of the con, by a jedi chef: http://www.planet-zhadum.com/convs/rendezvous3/index.html
And picture n°14? So thought about you when I saw it. ;)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

*SQUEES!* I just sent the link to Brix. Oh, god. These two. And yes. And thank you!

[the-grynne.livejournal.com]

11. Redeemer - Marilyn Manson
12. System - Chester Bennington
15. Eulogy - Tool

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

So somebody else has actually seen this movie and not repressed the whole experience? I was tempted to do just that, given, well, the movie, but I like the OST too much. And there are some amazing shots. So much potential, wasted away. Hmpf.

[expastic.livejournal.com]

Oooh, 14 is Precious by Depeche Mode.

\o/

[expastic.livejournal.com]

23 is also The Boys Are Back In Town by Thin Lizzy.

[thevelvetsun.livejournal.com]

26 is Imogen Heap "Goodnight and Go". I can sing #4 in my head cause I know the song but the name is escaping me. :(

[thevelvetsun.livejournal.com]

Okay, after humming #4 in my head over and over I realized it's Green Day. Give me a minute to remember the song name.

[honeyfitz.livejournal.com]

#20 is me talking to Jonathan M Woodward.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

*cracks the fuck up*

Yes, well. You and me both, actually.

[overcraft.livejournal.com]

le 7 c'est M : je dis aime... enfin je crois.
le 25 c'est time in a bottle... mais par contre je sais plus c'est quoi le nom de mec...
le 24 c'est nada surf... mais je sais pas quel chanson.

28 Ray charles... brick and stones?? (la c'est de la reconstitution de souvenir lointain)

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

C'est M, mais c'est pas celle-là.
...j'en reviens pas, quelqu'un d'autre que moi connaît cette chanson !
Yuh-huh... allez, allez, un p'tit effort !

Sticks and stones, je te l'accorde !

Je suis sur le point de poster un truc au sujet de la Fête de la Musique, après on s'organisera selon. :)

[shadesofbrixton.livejournal.com]

29. One Man Guy, Rufus Wainwright.

Of course. :D

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

*paws at Chiana* So pretty. Can it be Serenity Cubed time already?

And of course! I can't believe it showed up again, I think it showed up last time I did this meme already? Or maybe I'm just imagining it. And! Somebody else, and somebody French, knew the Jim Croce song. I'm amazed.

[overcraft.livejournal.com]

I knew it!!!! ok... I knew it at the moment I read the title! :(
