I asked the mean questions, I know. I always want to know the hardest questions. I’ll do better next time *pinky swear*

haha nah it’s ok i just feel bad when i’m answering them bc i’m like wow this is really bringing down the mood. but i guess you wouldn’t ask about crying if you wanted a light cheery mood anyway

Lyric Music Challenge

Rules: put your music on shuffle, write the first 10 songs that come on and your favorite lyrics from them.

Entire library shuffle ~

1) Ian Moore // Revelations

Silent charade you're a master of thought Indiscretion mounting as you gather your loss Undercover darkness was your veil Words were stolen, love for sale

2) Depeche Mode // A Question of Time

I've got to get to you first Before they do It's just a question of time Before they lay their hands on you And make you just like the rest

3) David Bowie // Sound and Vision

Pale blinds drawn all day Nothing to do, nothing to say Blue, blue

4) No Diggity // Blackstreet

She's got class and style Street knowledge by the pound, Baby never act wild Very low key on the profile

(note: this has been in my library well over 10 years; that Pitch Perfect scene made me super happy)

5) Melanie C // I Turn To You

When my insides are wracked with anxiety. You have the touch that will quiet me

6) Gimmee the Light // Sean Paul

Seriously? This is purely to dance to. I can’t understand half the lyrics, and I don’t care at all

7) Rolling Stones // Paint It Black

I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door I must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

8) Rainbow // Stone Cold

Searching in the darkness Fading out of sight Love was here and gone like a thief in the night... Stone Cold... and I thought I knew you so well

9) Alphaville // Forever Young

Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies Hoping for the best but expecting the worst Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Let us die young or let us live forever We don't have the power but we never say never Sitting in a sandpit, life is a short trip The music's for the sad men

Can you imagine when this race is won Turn our golden faces into the sun Praising our leaders, we're getting in tune The music's played by the, the mad men

Some are like water, some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later, they all will be gone Why don't they stay young?

It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth's like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever

So many adventures couldn't happen today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams swinging out of the blue We let them come true

(all of them okay? All the lyrics  are my favorite. Always sing along to this)

10) Come To Me // France Joli

Come to me When your world is empty and cold Come to me When you need someone you want to hold 

(it’s disco ok?)

Not really fully representative of my music taste, but it does make clear that my song selections aren’t particularly cerebral - I think this kind of thing works better for people who are deeply involved in their song lyrics. I mainly just like a good melody and sometimes a good dance beat. And rocking out to classic rock, also. But really, I don’t actually connect with song lyrics very often, and while I do like clever lyrics a la They Might Be Giants, I really mostly choose songs based on their feel. (As a not-paticularly-invested-in-labels-but-nonetheless-basically-allochorosexual person pretty much all relationship/love songs are just pretty melodies to me.) 

(FWIW I’m listening to Cuts You Up by Peter Murphy as I write this, which is like a perfect October song)

Tagging anyone that feels like it. Tag me if you do because I’m kinda curious. I bet there’s not a lot of overlap with anybody that follows me ;).
