Music, Music, Music.
1: A song you like with a color in the title "Big Yellow Taxi" by Joni Mitchell. Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?
2: A song you like with a number in the title "The One After 909" from the Let It Be CD. One of the first songs Paul and John wrote together, one of the last they performed live together.
3: A song that reminds you of summertime "Somebody's Baby" by Jackson Browne
4: A song that needs to be played LOUD "Stoney End" by Barbra Streisand. When "the fury of the broken thunder comes," I want to hear the fury!
5: A song that makes you want to dance "September" by Earth, Wind and Fire
6: A song to drive to Sorry, but I don't drive
7: A song about drugs or alcohol "Wasting away again in Margaritaville ..."
8: A song that makes you happy OK, since I'm thinking of Buffett, "Fins to the left, fins to the right, and you're the only girl in town ..."
9: A song that makes you sad "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt
10: A song that you never get tired of "Tears Dry on Their Own" by Amy Winehouse
11: A song from your preteen years "Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves" by Cher
12: One of your favorite 80’s songs "Starting Over" by John Lennon
13: One of your favorite classical songs I got nothin'
14: A song that you would sing a duet with someone on karaoke Joan Jett's "I Love Rock and Roll" because there is very little actual singing involved
15: A song from the year that you were born "Jailhouse Rock" was #1 while my mom was pregnant. I think it explains by affinity for Elvis.
16: A song that makes you think about life "The Way We Were." How accurate are our memories? Does it matter? Would we do it again, if we knew how it would end?
17: A song that you think everybody should listen to "In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning" by Sinatra. Frank shows us that pain is a great equalizer. He knows how you feel.

19: A song by an artist no longer living "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go." Yeah, it's a goofy song. But George Michael sounds so energetic and hopeful. It's poignant to think of where his life would take him.
20: A song that breaks your heart "Touch Me in the Morning" by Diana Ross
21: A song by an artist with a voice that you love "Kentucky Rain" by Elvis
So many great songs! I'm loving this week's questions. Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go had just come out the summer before my senior year when I was working with the Youth Conservation Corps up in the Poconos and all of us kids would sing it at the top of our lungs while working out in the woods. It will always be the song that brings back those memories.
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Touch Me in the Morning. That one is a killer to the heart.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful song set. Every one a classic and 15- well sure, I believe on those things learned from the womb. ;o)
