Now for the questions...
What was the first song you ever heard by 6? -- "Friends"
What is your favorite album of 8? -- Probably Under the Table and Dreaming
What is your favorite lyric that 5 has sung?Hmmm...hard to say. I think probably from "A Wink and A Smile" which was featured in the movie Sleepless In Seattle:
"I remember the days of just keeping time
Of hangin' around in sleepy towns forever
Back roads empty for miles.
Well you can't have a dream
And cut it to fit
But when I saw you, I knew
We'd go together
Like a wink and a smile."
How many times have you seen 4 live? -- Never but that's because they're an older group and they'd quit touring by the time I got to concert-going age.
What's your favorite song of 7? -- "Your Song" -- I like Sir Elton's version but I really love the version Ewan McGregor did in the movie Moulin Rouge
What is a good memory you have considering the music of 10? -- *smiles* His song "Fly Me To the Moon" is mine and my DH's song in a manner of speaking. We had watched the entirety of Neon Genesis Evangelion on VHS and at the end of each episode, the end credits are a version of that song. That was back when we were first dating. So whenever I hear it, I think of those happy days.
Is there a song of 3 that makes you sad? -- No, most of their songs are pretty upbeat.
What is your favorite lyric that 2 has sung? -- The beginning lyrics from second verse of the song "The Distance":
"No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine,
He's haunted by something he cannot define.
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse,
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force."
What is your favorite song by 9? -- "Have I Told You Lately" and "Forever Young" -- it's between those two
How did you get into 3? -- I heard the song "If I Had $1,000,000" on the radio among several others and when I checked out their album, I found that I really liked their style. They kick boo-T in concert!
What was the first song you heard by 1? -- "Ice Cream"
What is your favorite song by 4? -- Gosh that's hard. I *heart* TMBG! If I absolutely have to pick though it'll have to be "Doctor Worm"
How many time have you seen 9 live? -- Never, although I wouldn't mind seeing him sometime.
What is a good memory you have concerning 2? -- My honeymoon! Eric and I bought their album Fashion Nugget just outside Atlanta the day after our wedding and listened to it (among other cds) while driving to DisneyWorld and while we were in the car in Orlando and coming home too. Great memories!
Is there a song of 8 that makes you sad? -- Gray Street as it makes me think of my first cousin Sara and the horror she went through following a car accident she was in when I was in college. It claimed the life of her best friend and roommate who was driving the car they were in when a pair of cars street racing on the other side of the highway crossed lanes and hit them head on and t-boned the driver's side. Sara is -- thanks be to God! -- alive and well today, but the emotional toll that took on her was tremendous and this song really spoke to her during that time.
What is your favorite lyric that 3 has sung? -- Heeheehee...there are SO many! Definitely a perennial favourite is from their song, "Alcohol":
"I thought that Alcohol was just for those with
nothing else to do
I thought that drinking just to get drunk
was a waste of precious booze
But now I know that there's a time
and there's a place where I can choose
To walk the fine line between
self-control and self-abuse
I love you more than I did the week before
I discovered alcohol
Would you please ignore that you
found me on the floor
Trying on your camisole?
O Alcohol, would you please forgive me?
For while I cannot love myself
I'll use something else
What is your favorite song of 1? -- "Angel" -- It made a profound impact on me during a time in my life when my faith in God was next to nothing, my confidence in myself was zero, and I was beyond desperate to find a way to end my pain. It gave me a new perspective on how I was feeling and hope that God was still with me even though I felt farther from Him than I'd ever felt in my life.
