The songs, revealed
The sounds of birds seem to fill the wood/and when the fiddler plays/All their voices can be heard/long past their woodland days. -- The Mummer's Dance Loreena McKennit
Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick/And think of you/Caught up in circles confusion/Is nothing new -- Time after Time Cyndi Lauper (Guessed by lordjubatus)
They give you their bodies, but you never reach their minds/Well, they fill you up with lipstick lies/When they put you down some, don't ya be surprised/Is this the way it always is, here in Baltimore? -- Dance Hall Girls The Duhks
A townsman's life is even like the dust upon the road/Not changing with the seasons/Just fortune's fickle load -- The Road to Santiago Heather Dale
Go to Paris on private flights/I wanna have lovers by the score/Movie producers knocking down my door/This is the fate that is in store for me -- Famous The Lascivious Biddies
I want to be cool, tall, vulnerable and luscious/I would have it all if I'd only had this much/No need for Lucifer to fall if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut -- Perfect World Liz Phair
Albert's always sincere, he's the sensitive type/His intentions are clear, he wants to be well-liked/But if everything is nothing, then are we anything? -- Einstein on the Beach Counting Crows
She's babysitting and doing homework/A sudden phone call from the senior quarterback/She loves attention, she craves attention/He's got a present for her from her daddy's shack -- Splatter Splatter Moxy Fruvous
I already know the ending/It's the part that makes your face implode/I don't know what makes your face implode/But that's the way the movie ends -- Experimental Film They Might Be Giants
Compulsion has stained me/I'm nervously cradling our young love/Without known limits love/Like a butterfly cupped in my hands -- Simple Kind of Life No Doubt
This quiz wasn't exactly fair because I listen to a lot of smaller indie groups. And perhaps I made some of the lyrics selections too short or too arcane. That said, if phoenix_talon had read this I bet he would have guessed the first one.
For people who don't know them, I thoroughly recommend The Duhks ( http://www.duhks.com). The Lascivious Biddies ( www.biddyinfo.com), and Heather Dale ( www.heatherdale.com). The Duhks are a new group out of Canada that does a mix of folk, celtic and rock. The Lascivious Biddies are a female quartet that does a great mix of cocktail pop/jass/folk. They have a podcast at www.biddyblog.com where they showcase their music. Heather Dale does celtic/folk music and reminds me a bit of Loreena McKennit.
Another group you've probably never heard of that I love is a filk group out of Toronto called "Urban Tapestry", 3 ladies singing silly songs about sci-fi and fantasy and fun. Their website is www.electricpenguin.com/urbantapestry/ and you can download some of their songs for free at www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=83292
Enjoy!
