What is your favorite lyric that 5 has sung? Lyrics from "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press"
"And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue
Swear to shake it up, and you swear to listen
Oh, we're still so young, desperate for attention
I aim to be your eyes, trophy boys, trophy wives
Applause, applause, no wait wait
Dear studio audience, I've an announcement to make:
It seems the artists these days are not who you think
So we'll pick back up on that on another page
And I believe this may call for a proper introduction, and well
Don't you see, I'm the narrator and this is just the prologue..."
How many times have you seen 4 live? Never.. and they were in town on my birthday but I didn't wanna go alone cause no one else around here I know likes them. >.<
What's your favorite song of 7? A bit cliche.. but "Master and Servant".. though I love SO many of theirs!
What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10? My high school years! I LOVED "grunge" - it was my life! It reminds me of all the happy and the bittersweet times.
Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad? "Hard Candy" - it's full of memories and longing, bittersweet. But at the same time, it is uplifting and makes me feel happy and warm. That's the power they have. I love them so much. :D
What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung? This song was written by Bono and sung at his father's funeral. It's by far one of their most honest, most touching songs (and that's saying a LOT, cause I think they are freaking brilliant). He wasn't going to record it until the Edge convinced him to. I think the theme is universal. So, anyway, here are the lyrics from "Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own":
"We fight all the time
You and I, that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need, I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
In sick of it all
Can you hear me when I sing
You are the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me
Well, hey now
Still got to let you know
A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone..."
What is your favorite song by 9? "These Are Days"
How did you get into 3? Oh, goodness. I guess it was back in 1994 or 1995.. whenever "August and Everything After" was released. I heard "Mr. Jones" on the radio and was hooked.
What was the first song you heard by 1? "Tear You Apart"
What is your favorite song by 4? "Helena"
How many time have you seen 9 live? Once, we had 4th row center seats and got to talk to Natalie Merchant - it was heaven!! :D
What is a good memory you have concerning 2? Getting to go see them in concert on my 16th birthday. We (Anne and I - for those of you that went to Huntingdon) were down on the field and got to stand right by the stage. It was their Achtung Baby tour and it remains one of the best nights of my life!
Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad? "Cathedrals" - it's all about the overshadowing of the past, of history, by the modern world. How it leaves us wondering who we are, what meaning our lives have, and how we are so distant now from faith and religion.
What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung? from "Hard Candy":
"Time expands and then contracts
When you are spinning
In the grips of someone
Who is not an ordinary girl
When you sleep
You find your mother in the night
But she stays just out of sight
So there isn't any sweetness in the dreaming
And when you wake the morning covers you with light
And it makes you feel alright
But it's just the same hard candy
You're remembering again
You send your lover off to China
Then you wait for her to call
You put your girl up on a pedestal
Then you wait for her to fall
I put my summers back in a letter
And I hide it from the world
All the regrets you can't forget
Are somehow pressed upon a picture
In the face of such an ordinary girl..."
