First song you heard by #6?
it's so hard to say, but probably "with or without you"... although the first album I ever bought of U2 was "all that you can't leave behind"... thankfully, due to my U2-obsessed boyfriend and all-around awareness of all things that are wonderful about Bono and the boys, I have almost all of their music.
Favorite album by #8?
"abbey road". there's nothing like how the songs all blend into each other, especially from "mean mr. mustard" to the end of the album.
Favorite lyric of #5?
tough tough... probably the end of "amsterdam"...
you can say what you mean
but it won’t change a thing
I’m sick of the secrets
stood on the edge, tied to a noose
you came along and you cut me loose
you came along and you cut me loose
you came along and you cut me loose
Amount of times I’ve seen #4 live?
honestly probably about seven or eight times easy... actually I'd probably say ten or more... at least four-six shows at pine knob, one here at msu, once at the 89x show, once for their christmas concert at the masonic, and a good few at the palace...
Favorite song by #7?
"come downstairs and say hello"
Any sad song by #3?
haha... I'd say there are a few... I think "both sides now" just always seems sad after seeing "love actually"
Favorite lyric of #1?
"you have made me smile again, in fact I may be sore from it, it's been awhile"
or "when all words fail she speaks, her mixtape's a masterpiece, walks through the garden so the roses can see..."
Favorite song by #9?
I love "all I really want" because it brings me back to fifth grade/middle school times, especially with the whole harmonica... I remember seeing her for the first time in concert opening up for barenaked ladies a couple summers ago and I was with ilyse and as soon as that song started and she busted out the harmonica it was like time traveling...
I also love, love, love the end of the alternate "you oughta know"... the hidden track part. when my mom and I went to see alanis at masonic temple, she opened up the show singing the song acapella like it is on the album.... I had never listened to it before or realized it was even on that album until doing some searching when I got home... it's so emotional and powerful...
How did you get into #3?
I bought the "blue" album at some point in the middle of high school, and would listen to it every day after school while doing my homework... it was one of those albums that music stores and places like borders would have up front with the other classic albums... I'm not really sure what prompted me to buy it other than that... I'm just glad I did.
Favorite song by #4?
"call and answer", "I'll be that girl"
How many times have I seen #9 live?
twice. the first time opening up for barenaked summer 2004, and then again with jason mraz I believe the winter of 2004. I think the first time was even more fantastic because it was outside and summertime and every song was full band, and the second time was after the re-release of "jagged little pill" came out where everything was acoustic, so it was a bit more mellow. either way, she's amazing.
Good memory concerning #2?
finally getting to see him play the summer of 2004 with ben folds and guster... he was one of the only singers that I loved who I had never seen live, and it was just a wonderful experience... he sang this great version of "hallelujah". rufus also makes me think of cranbrook friends.
Song by #8 that makes you sad?
there's not really a beatles song that makes me sad that I can think of... I think as a rule they make me happy.
Favorite song of #1?
"don't change your plans", "not the same"
How did I become a fan of #10?
my cousins and my older brother and andrea... I think the first song I really remember loving was "satellite". andrea made me love "recently", but specifically the version from live at the red rocks...
I am so looking forward to being home for the summer.
I'm working at cranbrook camp, with nolan no less!
so many friends are going to be in town.
zack will be working but will be coming over on the weekends.
I'm so excited.
how is everyone?
