The Rules: Take 20 fairly standard and innocuous questions and answer them with music lyrics. (Bet you can't guess my favorite artist!)
1. Are you male or female?
Use to think that I would be so sad.
If you ever walked away.
Use to think I needed you so bad.
Did I say that I'd never leave you behind?
Well, just keep treating me unkind 'cause fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.
With a woman it's imperative you show her that you love her.
If you don't it's her prerogative to change like the weather.
I'm seeing the signs.
You know I use to think love was blind.
Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm bound to change my mind.
Fool, I'm a Woman- Sarah Evans
2. Who are you?
what will be left when I've drawn my last breath,
besides the folks i've met and the folks who know me,
will i discover a soul cleansing love,
or just the dirt above and below me,
i'm a doubting thomas,
i took a promise,
but i don't know what's safe,
oh me of little faith,
sometimes i pray for a slap in the face,
then i beg to be spared 'cause i'm a coward,
if there's a master of death i'll bet he's holding his breath,
as i show the blind and tell the deaf about his power,
i'm a doubting thomas,
i can't keep my promises,
'cause i don't know what's safe,
oh me of little faith
Doubting Thomas- Nickel Creek3. Describe your neighborhood.
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops
As they’re falling tell a story
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Imaginary- Eavanescence4. How do you look?
You don't run with the crowd
You go your own way
You don't play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful- Backstreet Boys (how embarrassing)
5. What is love?
Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings
I know the sky is calling
Angel, let me help you with your wings
When you're soarin' through the air
I'll be your solid ground
Take every chance you dare
I'll still be there
When you come back down
When You Come Back Down- Nickel Creek
6. If you could say one thing to the person you love, what would it be?
I didn't hear you say you're sorry.
The fault must be mine.
I wish you all the best of luck at finding somebody more like you.
You said you'd love me always truely.
I must have changed.
Because you don't need me like you used to.
I hope you find somebody more like you.
I hope you finally find someone,
someone that you trust and give him everything.
I hope you meet someone your hight so
you can see eye to eye with someone as small as you.
You came out of nowhere and made me smile.
Then tore me in two.
Sayin we're very different people so dear,
I hope you find somebody more like you.
I hope you find somebody more like you.
Somebody More Like You- Nickel Creek7. What's your secret?
Why don't you call me, I could save you.
Together we'll find a god we can pray to that will take you by the hand.
I hate to see a friend of mine,
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside,
but you've got your pride.
Staring down the stars, jelous of the moon
You wish you could fly.
But you're staying where you are
There's nothing you could do, if you're too scared to try
Jealous of the Moon- Nickel Creek8. Are you strong?
I'm frightened by what I see
but somehow I know that there's much more to come
immobilized by my fear
and soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
Whipser- Evanescence
9. Where do you wish you were right now?
I wish you out of the woods
And into a picture with me
I wish you over the moon
Come out of the question and be
Out of the Woods- Nickel Creek
10. What do you think about your friends?
You see the patterns in the big sky
Those constellations look like you and I
Just like the patterns in the big sky
We could be lost we could refuse to try
But we made it through in the dark night
Would those lucky guys turn out to be
But that unusual blend of my funny friend and me
My Funny Friend and Me- Sting11. Any words of advice?
Well, I've been deep down in that darkness,
I been down to my last match.
Felt a hundred different demons,
Breathin' fire down my back.
An' I knew that if I stumbled,
I'd fall right into the trap that they were layin', yeah.
But the good news is there's angels,
Everywhere out on the street.
Holdin' out a hand,
To pull you back up on your feet:
The one's that you been draggin' so long,
You're on your knees; you might as well be prayin'.
Guess what I'm sayin':
If you're goin' through hell,
Keep on goin'.
Don't slow down:
If you're scared don't show it.
You might get out,
'Fore the devil even knows you're there.
If You're Going Through Hell- Rodney Atkins
12. What do you wish you were doing right now?
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping
Hello, I'm still here
All that's left of Yesterday
Hello- Evanescence13. What do you think about drugs?
Her Daddy drank all day and Mommy did drugs
Never wanted to play
Or give kisses and hugs
She'd watch the TV and sit there on the couch
While her Mom fell asleep
And her Daddy went out
And the drinking and the fighting
Just got worse every night
Behind their couch she'd be hiding
Oh, what a sad little life
The Little Girl- John Michael Montgomery14. If you could say one thing to your enemy, what would it be?
Lonely, the life and dismal the view.
Closed is the road that leads to you.
Since better can be, as friends we'll agree,
Sabra girl, time will cure me
Sabra Girl- Nickel Creek15. What do you do on Friday nights?
Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me, I wanna be the one
I Will Remember You- Sarah McLachlan16. What would you do if you won a million dollars?
I love life, life loves me,
Let's take another trip to Disneyland,
Disneyland.
I Love Life- Melissa Lefton
17. How do you feel right now?
Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
Theres always one reason
To feel not good enough
And its hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memory seeps from my veins
Let me be empty
And weightless and maybe
Ill find some peace tonight
Angel- Sarah McLachlan18. Are you for world peace?
Can you hear the voice of the children softly pleading for silence in their shattered world?
Angry guns preach a gospel full of hate, blood of the innocent on their hands.
Crying, “Jesus, help me to feel the sun again upon my face.
For when darkness clears I know you're near, bringing peace again.”
Dali cuje te sve djecje molitve?
Can you hear the prayer of the children?
Prayer of the Children- Kurt Bestor19. Where were you born?
Down in Utah
The guys and I dig a city called Salt Lake
It's got the grooviest kids
That's why we never get tired of Salt Lake
And the way the kids talk so cool
Is an out of sight thing
And the number one radio station
Makes the town really swing yeah
Salt Lake City we'll be coming soon
Salt Lake City - Beach Boys
20. Any closing words?
Yeah for every price and every penance that I could think of
It’s better to have fallen in love
Than never to have fallen at all
Cuz when you live in a world
Well it gets in to who you thought you’d be
And now I laugh at how the world changed me
I think life chose me
After all
After All- Dar WilliamsBehold, the MuseLabels: music, Odds and Ends
