Music meme
Tagged with a music meme by A.Ball.Of.Yarn, and although I'm in the throes of my exams, I decided to take a break after finishing my second last paper this afternoon. One last paper on Thursday, and I'll be a free bird. :)
I decided to change things a little, though, because the songs were making zero sense as answers to the meme questions. Here's a list of the songs that the random feature on WMP churned up, but I've listed snippets from the songs instead. So just for fun, see how many of these you can figure out -- without the help of search engines, of course! Leave a comment if you can guess any (or all!) of these song titles. (I think there was a similar meme on LJ some time ago.) Let's give it, say, a week? I'll post all the song titles and artistes then. :) Go nuts. For the person who can guess the most number of songs, your prize is... um, pride and satisfaction. That's enough, right? ;)
[Edit: Oof, didn't realise they were that difficult to guess, but my exams are finally over! So answers are up in bold! :) I have officially joined the ranks of the unemployed. Hur.]
If you really want the answers to those questions, you can go ahead and match them against the questions, but -- yeah, as I've mentioned, zero sense. I've tried to make sure that the titles of the songs don't appear (or not conspicuously anyway) in the lines posted. ;) #12 almost killed me because I had to read through the lyrics, ahem.
No tagging from me this time, but feel free to go ahead, with either the original meme or the modified one. :p In the meantime, this will probably keep me from piling any other entries on top of it, so that should ensure minimal blogging temptation. ;) See you guys after Thursday!

- Hey there Mr Songwriter
Come visit in my home
Then tell me about life being perfect
And a love that goes on and on and on
("Same Old Song" by Blake Shelton) - All the angels exalt You on high
What a kingdom to depart
But You left Your throne in the sky
Just to live inside my heart
("All the Heavens" by Third Day) - A crown of thorns, a crown of hate
For all You had
For all You gave
The king of all would rather serve than reign
("Many Crowns" by Jeff Deyo) - Not just a song
That I sing to You
And not just some motions
That I'm going through
("Be the Praise of my Heart" by Phillips, Craig & Dean) - Your ways are not my own
But I long for them to be
So this is what I pray
("Pray" by Rebecca St. James) - I am reaching for the highest goal
That I might receive the prize
Pressing onward, pushing every hindrance aside
Out of my way
("I Want to Know You More" by Sonicflood) - Through Your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
Through the power of Your hand
Turned the sea into dry land
("El-Shaddai" by Amy Grant) - I can't light no more of your darkness
All my pictures seem to fade to black and white
I'm growing tired, and time stands still before me
Frozen here on the ladder of my life
("Don't Let the Sun go Down on Me" by Elton John & Billy Joel) - She carries the act so convincingly
The fact is sometimes she believes it
That she can be happy the way things are
Be happy with the things she's done
("The Tower" by Vienna Teng) - How can I forget when each face that I see
Brings back memories
Of being with you
("You are Everything" by 98 Degrees) - Just because I'm sorry
Doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it at the time
You're the only thing that I love
It scares me more every day
("Chocolate" by Snow Patrol) - 爱你穿越时间
两行来自秋末的眼泪
让爱渗透了地面
我要的只是你在我身边
(<<枫>> by Jay Chou) - God, I admit I haven't changed
Playing cardhouses still covering my landscape
I never expected You to stay
When I'm grabbing for these crumbs and cold loose change
("Grace" by Jars of Clay) - Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love anyone could give
Your love is
("Better than Life" by Hillsong) - Your God will undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Your hope, your confidence -- let nothing shake
All now mysterious will be bright at last
("Be Still my Soul" by Rob Graves)
