Music Meme

Music Meme gakked from rusty_halo:

So here's that music meme
I couldn't resist this one. Even if no one guesses, I had fun doing it.

Anyway, music meme!

The rules:

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly


1) "Here I am expecting just a little too much from the wounded." "Three Libras" A Perfect Circle

2) "Sometimes the last thing you want comes first. Sometimes the first thing you want never comes." "Strange and Beautiful" by Aqualung

3) "I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liar's chair, full of broken thoughts I cannot repair..." "Hurt" Originally by Nine Inch Nails (however, in this case I was actually listening to the Johnny Cash cover of the song)

4) "And I wasn't all the things I tried to make believe I was. I wouldn't be the one to kneel before the dreams I wanted..."

5) "I have found that all that shimmers in this world is sure to fade..." "Shimmer" by Fuel

6) "I can forgive and I am not ashamed to be the person that I am today..." "So Far Away" by Staind

7) "I won't go. I won't sleep. I can't breathe until you're resting here with me..." "Here With Me by Dido

8) "Through this world I stumbled, so many times betrayed. Trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved..." "Possession" by Sarah McLachlan

9) "I am a wolf but I like to wear sheep's clothing..." "Temptation Waits by Garbage

10) "The sky is breaking. It's deeper than love..." "The Sky is Broken" by Moby

11) "I can't find the words to say, and I don't know why..."

12) "And not to pull your halo down, around your neck and tug you off your cloud, but I'm more than just a little curious how you're planning to go about making your amends..." "The Noose" by A Perfect Circle

13) "Whenever I'm alone you with you, you make feel like I'm home again. Whenever I'm alone with you, you make me feel like I'm whole again. . ." "Love Song" by The Cure (well, technically, I was listening to Tori Amos cover "Love Song" by The Cure, but how is someone supposed to guess THAT?!)

14) "Even though I know, I don't wanna know. Yeah, I guess I know. I just hate how it sounds. . ." "One Thing" by Finger 11

15) "The arrogant build kingdoms made of the different ones. Breaking them down then becomes just another crown..." "Simon" by Lifehouse

16) "Her heart is breaking in front of me..." "This Love" by Maroon 5

17) "It's just another day in the life of apes with ego trips..."

18) "What I really meant to say is that I'm sorry for the way I am..."

19) "When did Motley Crue become 'classic rock,' and when did Ozzie become an actor? Please, make it stop..." "1985" by Bowling for Soup

20) "I don't know why I instigate and say what I don't mean..." "Breaking the Habit" by Linkin Park

LOL! Don't be weirded out. Most of the songs didn't (and don't) get radio play. Many of them are tracks from CDs that were never singles in the first place. And I listen to Alt_Rock anyway so with only a few exceptions, most wouldn't be top 40.


"The sky is breaking. It's deeper than love..."

It's (heh) "The Sky is Broken" by Moby. It was used in the X-Files episode "Small Things"... the one where Fate led Scully back to Mulder.

Lyrics:

See, the storm is breaking
in the middle of the night
nothing left here for me
it's washed away

The rain pushes
the buildings aside
the sky turns black
...the sky

Wash it far
push it out to sea
there's nothing left here
...for me

I watch it lift up to the sky
I watch it crush us
And then I die

Speak to me, baby
in the middle of the night
pull your mouth close to mine

I can see the wind coming down
...like black night

So speak to me
like the winds outside
It's broken up, pushing us

Hear the rain fall
see the wind come to my eyes
see the storm is breaking
...now nothing

Speak to me, baby
in the middle of the night
speak to me
hold your mouth to mine


'cause the sky is breaking
it's deeper than love
I know the way you feel
like the rain outside

...Speak to me

Actually, if you listened to top 40 I wouldn't expect to recognize them. I suppose this is my age showing, however. On my own list you'd find mostly Sting, plus classic rock and a sprinkling of new wave. This newfangled stuff - I'll leave it to you young whippersnappers. ;-)

I have been meaning to get some Moby, though.

Heh. Not so young. I just like Alt_rock (and hey, I also have Sting and the Police somewhere in my mp3s)
