Gakked from kitt:

1.- Choose 20 songs you like.
2.- Take a verse of each song.
3.- Write down those verses in a list in your journal.
4.- Ask your friends and whoever you want to guess which song is by that verse.
5.- Once someone gets one of the songs right, cross it and write down who ever guessed it and, obviously, the title.



1. Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable / And lightness has a call that's hard to hear / I wrap my fear around me like a blanket / I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it, I'm crawling on your shore. Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine, guessed by emony

2. Some people might say my life is in a rut, But I’m quite happy with what I got / People might say that I should strive for more, But I’m so happy I can’t see the point. The Jam - Going Underground, guessed by temeres

3. Come on it, electronic / A polyphonic prostitute, the motor's on fire / Messiah for the animals Kasabian - L.S.F., guessed by _trickster_

4. Sweep it into the corner / Or hide it under the bed / Say these things they go away / But they never do Keane - This Is the Last Time, guessed by nausica2

5. In the beginning, there were answers / Then they came along and changed / All these questions and their answers seem to change

6. First night of your life, curled up on your own / Looking at you now, you would never
know

7. Every whisper / Of every waking hour I'm / Choosing my confessions R.E.M. - Losing My Religion, guessed by emony

8. I have loved and I have waited / Been picked up and been sedated / Mental health is overrated Barenaked Ladies - This Is Where It Ends, guessed by rach74

9. Reaching for something in the distance / So close you can almost taste it / Release your inhibitions / Feel the rain on your skin Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten, guessed by emony

10. Does this mean we're through / Does this mean it's gone / Spent a day just to ponder the words / That I would write to you this day

11. Hey where did we go / Days when the rains came / Down in a hollow / Playin' a new game Van Morrison - Brown Eyed Girl, guessed by emony

12. Picture yourself / Sleeping on a plane / There's something ticking in the overhead /
And inside your brains

13. I'm walking down the line / That divides me somewhere in my mind / On the border line of the edge / And where I walk alone Green Day - Boulevard of Broken Dreams, guessed by emony

14. And if there's anybody left in here / That doesn't want to be out there

15. There's so many fish in the sea / That only rise up in a sweat of smoke like mercury / But they keep you hanging on / They say you're so young / Your mind is made up / But your mouth is undone

16. By the time I recognize this moment / This moment will be gone / But I will bend the light / Pretend that it somehow lingered on John Mayer - Clarity, guessed by nausica2

17. Another head aches, another heart breaks / I am so much older than I can take / And my affection, well it comes and goes / I need direction to perfection, no no no no The Killers - All These Things That I've Done, guessed by _trickster_

18. I wish I was the brakeman on a hurtling fevered train / Crashing a-headlong on into the heartland / like a cannon in the rain

19. Well looking back through time / You know it's clear that I've been blind / I've been a fool / To ever open up my heart / To all that jealousy, that bitterness, that ridicule David Gray - Babylon, guessed by _trickster_

20. You may not believe in me / But I believe in you / So I still take the trash out /
Does that make me too normal for you?

#2 is Going Underground by the Jam.

The only I recognise, as it happens.

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

19 is David Grey, Babylon.

I don't think I've ever heard any of those other songs. Must be British or something.

[rach74.livejournal.com]

b. Barenecked Ladies- This Is Where It Ends

[graculus.livejournal.com]

19. is indeed Babylon by David Gray, who's British, btw... ;)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

It is indeed. :)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

You know, I wondered if anyone would get the Kasabian track (though I have to check when I hear it that I haven't gone back in time because it reminds me so much of Stone Roses etc.). Correct on all counts!

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Correct! And one day I'm going to do an SG vid to it. ;)

[nausica2.livejournal.com]

4. Keane, this is the last time
16. John Mayer, Clarity

The rest I knew are already guessed. :)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

Yes and yes. :)

[nausica2.livejournal.com]

You know? It's amazing how many people in my flist, who don't have each other friended, have picked up similar songs. Very interesting, never thought about that.

[graculus.livejournal.com]

I've been on a bit of a male acoustic singer-songwriter bender recently, so I've been picking up stuff by John Mayer, Ari Hest, Ben Lee, Jason Mraz, Brendan Benson, Howie Day, Edwin McCain, Jack Johnson, Matt Nathanson... they're taking over! :P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_trickster_/]

ta =D w00t. I quite like Kasabian. They're nifty.

[rach74.livejournal.com]

Hee!

It'd be a great one to do!

[penfold-x.livejournal.com]

Damn foreigners. ;)

[graculus.livejournal.com]

They get everywhere, like roaches! :P

[nausica2.livejournal.com]

I like this kind of music, and only know John Mayer, so thank you so much for all the list! Will try all of them.

If you are interested in jazz with some hints of pop, doing verstions of classics along with own stuff, Jamie Cullum is my latest discovery.

I can burn you a cd if you like? Drop me a line with your snail mail address if you're interested. :)
