(no subject)
Well, since no one else seems to be taking the bait, here are the rest of the answers. If you feel like guessing on the previous post, I'll take your word that you didn't click the link below:
1. There were two sisters of County Clare -- "The Wind and the Rain," sung by Gillian Welch, off the soundtrack to the movie Songcatcher.
2. Let me take your hand and we'll walk along together, over the river and under the trees -- Shortcut Through the Fields, sung by Tommy Sands on the album Song of the Green Linnet. Sorry, can't find any audio for you!
3. Je joue un rôle, et j'aime ça -- "Dans ta vraie vie," Yelle
5. Dos gardenias para tí, con ellas quiero decir, te quiero, te adoro, mi vida -- "Dos Gardenias," Buena Vista Social Club (Ibrahim Ferrer)
6. To my beloved, who breaks my heart -- "Village Wedding," Chanticleer
7. It was a slow day, and the sun was beating on the soldiers by the side of the road -- This one surprised me! "Boy in the Bubble," Paul Simon
10. I feel your fingers cold on my shoulder
12. Why don't you ask if he's gonna stay? "Tusk," Fleetwood Mac (song starts around 0:57)
13. I like cream in my coffee, and I like to sleep late on Sunday -- "Nobody Knows Me," Lyle Lovett
15. Twas in and about the Martinmas time, when the green leaves were a-fallin' -- "Barbara Allen," my version sung by the Irish Tenors (not, I hasten to add, my favorite version of the song!). It doesn't appear to be online.
16. My young love said to me, my mother won't mind ... -- "She moved through the fair," my version sung by Van Morrison and the Chieftains.
17. You are subject to inspections; those are not your lips -- "The Skins," Scissor Sisters
18. It fell about the Lammastide, when moor men win their hay -- "The Battle of Otterburn," my version sung by June Tabor
Anyway, I best be off; Aled's dissertation defense is in 15 minutes (woo!). Good vibes, please! (And I'd like to reserve some good mojo for this time next week, too, when Matthieu has his!)
Mach à seo!
