Write down the first 10 songs that come up on shuffle - no skipping, no cheating. Quote a favorite lyric from each song. And at the end, tag 5 people.
Thank you Maya for tagging me! It was fun!! I share spotify with my family so I cheated a bit – i shuffled until i got “my songs”. I also skipped the swedish songs. Also, I apologize for quoting so many men... I should probably try to actively listen to more music by women. Or not. Anyway. I tag: bill-holmes, norasnora, miminour, snazzycicada, and sweet-liestogetmeby, ryanvoid and anybody who wants to do it!
1. Dust Bowl Dance - Mumford & Sons
How can you love what it is you have got
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor?
2. Teachers - Leonard Cohen
One morning I woke up alone,
the hospitals and the nurses gone.
Have I carved enough my Lord?
3. Crazy Love - Paul Simon
Somebody could walk into this room
And say your life is on fire
It’s all over the evening news
All about the fire in your life
4. Down the Highway - Bob Dylan
So, I'm walkin' down your highway
Just as far my poor eyes can see
Yes, I'm a-walkin' down your highway
Just as far my eyes can see
From the Golden Gate Bridge
All the way to the Statue of Liberty.
5. On The Radio - Regina Spektor (this one is lovely)
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
Pumping someone else's blood
You hope it don't get harmed
You'll just do it all again
6. Absolutely Sweet Marie - Bob Dylan (i have saved all of dylan on my spotify so it always comes up when i shuffle...)
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously
But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately
[...] Well I got the fever, down in my pockets
7. Man On The Moon - R.E.M.
Here's a little agit for the never-believer yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a little ghost for the offering yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Here's a truck stop instead of Saint Peter's yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Mister Andy Kaufman's gone wrestling yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
8. We Go Together - Grease (these lyrics are the best tho) :’)
Like rama lamma lamma ka dinga da dinga dong
As shoobop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom
Chang chang changitty chang shoobop
That's the way it should be, wha ooohhhh, yeah
9. It’s The Hard-Knock Life - Annie (Quvenzhane Wallis!!!)
10. Make Your Own Kind Of Music - Mama Cass
There's only one song worth singin'
To see someone like you
But you've gotta make your own kind of music
Sing your own special song
Make your own kind of music
Even if nobody else sings along
