1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.
2. List (and upload) 5-10 songs you love that begin with that letter.
3. Post them to your journal with these instructions.
My first meme. Please feel free to play along!
The rather difficult letter 'L' was given to me by
mustbethursday3. I struggled to find songs that I like that start with this letter.

Lai Lai Hei - Ensiferum [x2]
Hän katsoi maan reunalta tähteä putoavaa
Nyt kauniit kasvot neitosen peittää karu maa
Jokaisen täytyy katsoa silmiin totuuden
Sillä aika ompi voittoisa, mut' tämä maa on ikuinen
[English translation]
He gazed the falling star from the edge of the world
Now the face of the maiden are covered by rough land
Everyone has to look in the eyes of the truth
Because the time is victorious, but this land is eternal
There's a place in the North, far far away
Home for the wandering man
Dreaming fields with skies so pale
Calm is the glorious land
Flames will send the sign to the sky
That we have come to feast tonight
The lakes are echoing with our song
Shadows are dancing on the forrest wall
Shadows are dancing on the forrest wall!
Enchantment of the fire and moon
Lost in the whispering night
The raven's magic enthralls the woods
Crawling in the sweet starlight
We have gathered in this distant land
Full of wisdom, secrets and tales
The morning will never rise again
Roaming wolves are howling for the dead
Roaming wolves are howling for the dead!
Oh yea!
LAI LAI HEI!
Hän katsoi maan reunalta tähteä putoavaa
Nyt kauniit kasvot neitosen peittää karu maa
Jokaisen täytyy katsoa silmiin totuuden
Sillä aika ompi voittoisa, mut' tämä maa on ikuinen
[English translation]
He watched a falling star, at the edge of the world
Now the maiden's beautiful face is covered in barren earth
Everyone has to look into the eyes of the thruth,
For time is victorious, but this land will always stay true
LAI LAI HEI!

Lateralus - Tool Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn beyond the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must
Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy.
red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me.
lets me see there is so much more
and beckons me to look through to these infinite possibilities.
As below, so above and beyond, I imagine
drawn outside the lines of reason.
Push the envelope. Watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind.
Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line.
Reaching out to embrace the random.
Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to
feel the rhythm, to feel connected
enough to step aside and weep like a widow
to feel inspired, to fathom the power,
to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain,
to swing on the spiral
of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I lose myself
between the sounds and open wide to suck it in.
I feel it move across my skin.
I'm reaching up and reaching out.
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.
Spiral out. Keep going...

Leeds United - Amanda Palmer We watch you your expert double Xs
It's just like you to paint those whiter fences
It's so polite, it's so polite
It's offensive, it's offensive
It's so unright, it's so unright
It's a technical, accept it
But who needs love when there's law and order
And who needs love when there's Southern Comfort
And who needs love at all
We stalk you your expert double Xs
We oxidize you in your sleep
There's no exit, there's no exit
You're on a roll, you're on a roll
No one gets it, no one gets it
Your honor, no, your honor
Can't you protect us, protect us
But who needs love when there's law and order
And who needs love when there's Southern Comfort
And who needs love
When the sandwiches are wicked
And they know you at the Mac store
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
I'm so excited
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
The blacks and beat kids
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
I'm getting frightened
Uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh
Someday, someday, Leeds United
Bugsy Malone came to carry you home
And they're taking you all to the doctor
Burberry vices, all sugary spices
It's nice but it's not what I'm after
Sure, I admire you
Sure, you inspire me, but you've been not getting back so
I'll wait at the Sainbury's
Countin' my change making bank on the upcoming roster
And we'll stop you your expert double Xs
Oh yeah, a big stock holder extra cold with two Xs
That never talking thing you do
Is effective, it's effective
Your shoulder's icy colder, oh
Than a death wish, than a death wish
But who needs love when there's law and order
And who needs love when there's Dukes of Hazard
And who needs love
When the sandwiches are wicked
And they know you at the Mac store
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
I'm so excited
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
The blacks and beat kids
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
They're so excited
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
When I think about Leeds United
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
I'm getting frightened
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
The blacks, the blacks, the blacks, and beat kids
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
It's so exciting
Uh uh uh uh oh oh oh oh oh uh oh
Someday, someday, someday, someday, someday, someday
Leeds United

Little Acorns - The White Stripes Take all your problems
And rip 'em apart
Carry them off
In a shopping cart
And another thing
You should've known from the start
The problems in hand
Are lighter than at heart
Be like the squirrel, girl
Be like the squirrel
Give it a whirl, girl
Be like the squirrel
And another thing
You have to know in this world
Cut up your hair
Straighten your curls
Well, your problems
Hide in your curls

Lucky - Radiohead I'm on a roll,
I'm on a roll this time
I feel my luck could change.
Kill me Sarah,
Kill me again with love,
It's gonna be a glorious day.
Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
'Cause I'm your superhero,
We are standing on the edge.
The head of state has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him.
It's gonna be a glorious day.
I feel my luck could change.
Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the lake,
'Cause I'm your superhero,
We are standing on the edge.
We are standing on the edge.
BONUS SONG Edit: How could I forget to add 'Little Lion Man'?
Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons Weep for yourself, my man,
you'll never be what is in your heart
weep little lion man,
you're not as brave as you were at the start
rate yourself and rake yourself,
take all the courage you have left
wasted on fixing all the problems
that you made in your own head
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my...
tremble for yourself, my man,
you know that you have seen this all before
tremble little lion man,
you'll never settle for any of your scores
your grace is wasted in your face,
your boldness stands alone among the wreck
learn from your mother or else spend your days biting your own neck
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my dear?
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
but it was not your fault but mine
and it was your heart on the line
I really fucked it up this time
didn't I, my dear?
didn't I, my dear?
