Music meme time!
A music game stolen from labellementeuse. The rules:
Step 1: Set your primary playlist to random and shuffle it.
Step 2: Post the first line from the first 20 songs that play (or more, if you like!), no matter how embarrassing the song.
Step 3: Anyone is allowed to guess the answers.
Step 4: Strike through and add the artist and title below the lyric when someone gets one right.
Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is cheating. Please don't.
I left out New Zealand artists, songs not in English, and any artists that came up more than once. Some songs are rather obscure, while others should be ridiculously easy. Have fun!
Edit: thanks for playing, everyone :) Only 2 remained unguessed, so I've added the correct answers behind the cut.
Guess the song:
1. The future teaches you to be alone, the present to be afraid and cold
"If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next" by Manic Street Preachers
2. I caught a glimpse, but it's been forgotten
"So here we are" by Bloc Party
3. Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
"Zombie" by The Cranberries
4. I looked out this morning and the sun was gone, turned on some music to start my day
"More than a feeling" by Boston
5. Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
"Weather with you" by Crowded House
6. Sleep, sleep tonight, and may your dreams be realised
"MLK" by U2
7. I got up feeling so down, I got off being sold out
= "Outshined" by Soundgarden
8. We know a place where no planes go
"No cars go" by Arcade Fire
9. Spend all your time waiting for that second chance, for a break that would make it okay
"Angel" by Sarah McLachlan
10. Sell the kids for food, weather changes moods
"In Bloom" by Nirvana
11. I'm a stitch away from making it and a scar away from falling apart
"The (After) Life Of The Party" by Fall Out Boy
12. When I think of heaven deliver me in a black-winged bird
"Rain King" by Counting Crows
13. It's true that all the men you knew were dealers who said they were through with dealing
"The Stranger Song" by Leonard Cohen
14. I get up, and nothing gets me down
"Jump" by Van Halen
15. Look at these people - amazing how sheep'll show up for the slaughter
"Slipping" from Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog
16. You can't resist her, she's in your bones
"Only in dreams" by Weezer
17. It'll all click when the mortgage clears, all our fears will disappear
= "Cells" by The Servant
18. This is what we want, we want to be made
"Our Daughters Will Never Be Free" by The Indelicates
19. Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand
