Liviania at In Bed With Books tagged me for this one, which was totally fun because I love infusing what song my iPod chooses with meaning. (Violet plays "The Song Game" in my books to determine how guys feel about her, which is what I used to do...okay, still do sometimes. It's a sickness).I'll link to videos for the songs I can find on youtube, in case you're curious. Also, after doing this, I feel like I just had a therapy session. Not sure if that's good or bad. Phew, music is really powerful! Here goes. 1. Put your iTunes, Windows Media Player, Minamp, etc on shuffle. 2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer. 3. YOU MUST WRITE THAT SONG NAME DOWN NO MATTER HOW SILLY IT SOUNDS. 4. Put the artist after a dash following the song name. 5. Put any comments in brackets. 6. Tag some lucky people to spread the disease. a. How would you describe yourself? Dream a Little Dream - The Mamas and the Papas [Ooh, this one is romantic and gorgeous! I love this game so far. Play this video while you read the rest if you want a treat: ] b. How do you feel today? Virginia Woolf - Indigo Girls [Wow. Kind of sad! Not really accurate, though I have been reading a lot today so maybe my iPod is picking up on that.] c. What is your life's purpose? Across the Great Divide - The Band [This song is adventurous and about the journey of life--I'm into it.] d. What is your motto? Girl Can't Help It - Journey [Um, hilarious. I don't think I can explain this one. It's weird. But I do heart Journey forever.] e. What do you think about very often? Ice Cream - Sarah McLaughlin [Oh man! I'm not cheating, I swear. Very accurate.] I'm gonna make you jump for more, because this meme is long (but fun!)....
f. What is your life story? Little Fat Babies - Sparklehorse [Okay, what?! No kids yet, but maybe someday. And I guess they might be chunky. (Kidding--this song is actually very sweet and about someone's life, so it fits.)] g. What do you want to be when you grow up? Goin' Back - The Byrds [I've always been completely nostalgic, and this song reflects that. So maybe when I grow up I want to remember who I've always been.] h. What will you dance to at your wedding? People as Places - Modest Mouse [No way will this happen. I love MM, but it's just not the dance song. Sorry.] i. What will they play at your funeral? Norwegian Wood - The Beatles [I do love this song, but beyond the opening line it's about pyromania, right? So, take note, and just that first part: "I once had a girl... or should I say, she once had me?"] j. What is your hobby/interest? Underwear - The Magnetic Fields [This just makes me seem totally weird.] k. If you could do anything right now, what would it be? http://video.aol.com/video/princepurple-rain/1799330">Purple Rain - Prince [I do believe that at any moment in time I'd love to see people laughing in the Purple Rain. So, right on.] j. What do you want most of all? Sit on the Sun - Keren Ann [A really sweet song, also incredibly nostalgic (um, okay, my iPod is a nostalgia box), so this fits. I want my memories always.] k. What is your greatest fear? Nobody Girl - Ryan Adams [Scarily accurate. I always fear I'm just plain no one, and this song nails that.] l. What is your darkest secret? This Time Around - Luna [Hmm... this could play into my darkest secret, which isn't really a secret, but isn't something I talk or think much about. Yeah, this fits. But no, I'm not telling.] m. What is your favorite thing in the world? The Long Day is Over - Norah Jones [I suppose this could mean home is my favorite thing after a long day, which it is!] n. If you could have one wish, what would you wish for? Crazy for This Girl - Evan & Jaron [What the--?! How did this song get on here? I mean, I was only obsessed with it for months in 2001... but... okay, I like this song. I admit it. And I guess it could mean I would wish for crazy love (which I think I have).] o. What is your theme song? Preachin' Prayin' Singin' - Flatt & Scruggs Oh, this sucks! I wanted a good theme song but this is on the bluegrass album that's for when I'm driving on country roads. Okay, I like bluegrass, but this is so not my theme song!! p. The next time you hear this song (aside from now, that is), you must dance. Cold Day in July - Dixie Chicks [Such a sad song! Not a dance song! I will not dance to this song.] What will you post this as? Gotta give it to Purple Rain. This meme was pretty fun, so I recommend it to anyone who's curious and who loves The Song Game... I know some of you have your own versions of that! One Rule: Let me know if you play--I want to see!
