This was lots of fun. iPod (or music player of your choice) meme, gacked from
copperbadge:
Put your iPod (or whatever) on shuffle, and answer the following questions with the titles of the songs as they come up. Quote from the song if it helps answer the question. I cheated just a bit by fast-forwarding though the tons of Mozart and New Age songs that came up, as they don't have words.
1. How does the world see me?
Hark! the Herald Angels Sing!--Bryan Duncan
Joyful all ye nations rise, join the triumph of the skies!
Well, that can't be too bad, right?
2. Will I have a happy life?
Blue Skies--Bryan Duncan
Saw a clearing in the clouds today/much to my surprise
Things are looking up, maybe?
3. What do my friends really think of me?
Not My Will But Thine--Acappella
Jesus prayed in the garden, he prayed/Not my will but thine
Hmm. Either my friends think I am very spiritual, or they think I am very bossy. Big decision there...
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
One By One--Enya
And now you know why/There's no moon in her sky
Um....no, apparently not. :(
5. How can I make myself happy?
Not to Us, O Lord--Imperials
Not to us, O Lord/But to thy name give glory/To thy name give praise
....the 'Pod is preaching.
6. What should I do with my life?
Take My Breath Away--Berlin
Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
I should write fantasy novels. Well, duh.
7. Will I ever have children?
Sweet Young Thing--Monkees
I know that something very strange has happened to my brain
I'm either feeling very good or else I am insane.
That would be, "Yes, I already do." :)
8. What is some good advice for me?
Fear Not My Child--Carman
Sheesh, pass the plate and have an altar call already! I'm going to quote lots from this, because it is awesome advice for anyone:
He said my child don't look behind
Discouragement is all you'll find
Don't watch the waves that roll the sea
Just focus your eyes on me
And I will make you strong and then
Your shattered courage I will mend
And if you fall and should get hurt
Remember these eternal words
Fear not my child
I'm with you always
I feel every pain
And every tear I see
Fear not my child
I'm with you always
I know how to care
For what belongs to me
9. How will I be remembered?
Magic Carpet Ride--Steppenwolf
I like to dream yes, yes, right between my sound machine
On a cloud of sound I drift in the night
I will be remembered as a dreamer who likes music? There's a shocker.
10. What is my signature dancing song?
Heaven to Earth--Michael English
In your light now I am standing/Filled with hope and unafraid
Signature song, sure. Dancing, no. You can't dance to this. Not unless you're on a "praise dancing" team in a more charismatic church.
11. What do I think my current theme song is?
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds--Beatles
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes/And she’s gone.
Yeah...I take that to mean more that the sun in her eyes is gone. I need to work on getting that back.
12. What does everyone else think my theme song is?
A Time Such As This--Phillips, Craig & Dean
And we will rise and face the darkness/We will shine His holy light
I don't think that's what everyone else thinks my theme song is. But maybe that's what it ought to be.
13. What song will play at my funeral?
That's All Right--Elvis Presley
I'm leaving town, baby/I'm leaving town for sure
Heh!
14. What type of man do I like? (It was "woman", but change it to suit your own personal preference.)
A Kind of Magic--Queen
No mortal man can win this day
I'm hard to please? No! *gasp*
15. What is my day going to be like?
One Good Song--Gaither Vocal Band
Jesus in my heart, and a place to belong/A few close friends, and one good song
Sounds like a winner to me!
