Guowei told me to do this! It's a relatively fun game, with wacky and unexpected results. Hmm.
The Rules:
1. Put your music player on shuffle.
2. Press forward each question.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question even if it doesn't make sense.
4. Comment on it.
1. How are you feeling today?
Britney Spears - Sometimes (Soul Solution Mid Tempo Mix)
Haha. Really? Everyone knows this song I assume. So I'm feeling... sometimes? Perhaps unsure of myself, but ready to try...
2. Will you get far in life?
Jack Johnson - While We Wait
Okay this is a one-minute song, so I can copy the whole song's lyrics:
It feels right
It feels wrong
Feels like when you have it
Then it’s gone
I want more
More and more
And if you steal the fire
Give me some
Cause the sun
Dissipates
While it waits
For a friend
To arrive
From the past
While it pulls us around and around
While we wait
Hmm... I sure hope it's not all about just waiting for things to happen to me and not doing anything. To me the song talks about people always wanting more, but also about things being transient. Woo Romanticism and nature.
3. What's your best friend's theme song?
Morcheeba - Never An Easy Way
I think I slip the net,
But I cut myself free,
I'm not losing yet,
So don't forget me.
I'll say it, replay it, and try tomorrow
I'll say it, replay it, and live with sorrow.
You'd think I learn by now,
There's never an easy way,
I get through somehow,
I'm on my knees to pray.
Never an easy way with my best friend? I'll bet. With all the years and history, I think we've made it easy by working through the hard and difficult times. Well, the song is kinda too sad, so I think it's not the best song to answer the question.
4. What is the story of your life?
Amy Winehouse - Monkey Man
Okay I can't find lyrics that entirely match what I'm hearing on the iPod, so I'm just gonna not paste any, 'cause the title says it all. Or does it? For real? Monkey man?! So I'm now some kind of clown? Hmm. It'd better not be.
5. What was high school like?
Jet - Bruises (Demo)
Can't live inside of a dream
I can't live inside of a dream
I'm changing my mind next week
I'm changing my mind next week
Bruises up my arms and strange love
Who the hell am I?
I want to tell you everything
I can't make up my mind
I can't make up my mind... whether high school equals secondary school or junior college over here. But either way, the song can symbolise the period of time when I was searching quite desperately for my identity... *shrugs* Not to say I'm not still searching right now.
6. How can you get ahead in life?
Coldplay - In My Place
And yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Yeah, how long must you pay for it?
Yeah, how long must you wait for it?
Oh, for it
Oh no, another song about waiting! Getting ahead by questioning how long can I wait, and if I can even wait. Being impatient enough to want more.
7. What's the best thing about your friends?
Amy Adams - Happy Working Song
HAHAHA. Does this mean the best thing about my friends is that they sing, or that they're vermin? Hehe. But I think it's 'We're a happy working throng' that represents our friendship.
8. Describe your grandparents.
Anastacia - Love is a Crime
If love is a crime baby
I'll do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
Okay... Such a strange song to represent my grandparents! Well. You get what the song is supposed to mean, besides the slightly odd and 'witty' metaphor.
9. How's your life going?
孙燕姿 － 爱情的花样
Oh a Chinese song... hmm. If my Chinese does not fail me, it's about how even with the frills love is said to come with, it's still love after all. Maybe... I'm realising that love is not as pretty as it may appear, but it is as people say, the one thing that you need in your life.
10. What will be played at your funeral?
Bono, Gavin Friday, Maurice Seezer - Children of the Revolution
Well you can bump and grind
If it's good for your mind
Well you can twist and shout
Let it all hang out
But you won't fool the
Children of the revolution
No you won't fool the
Children of the revolution
No no
Phwoar. So I'm a child of the Revolution? Haha. I really have no idea what to make of this. Cool song to play at a funeral though.
11. Will you have a happy life?
Damien Rice - I Remember
My life is about remembering? This song is hard to wrap my head around, 'cause it seems to be made up of two 'sub-songs', maybe my life will be a double life, or schizophrenic. Hmm...
12. What do your friends really think of you?
Chris Elliott - Your Song (Instrumental)
This version of the song has no lyrics. So, they think I have no voice? I sure hope not. Thinking about the lyrics in the original, where Elton John sings 'My gift is my song', and perhaps this is what they think of me?
13. Do people secretly lust after you?
Evanescence - Good Enough
Under your spell again.
I can't say no to you.
Crave my heart and it's bleeding in your hand.
I can't say no to you.
Erm. I don't know...
14. How do you make yourself happy?
Carpenters - There's a Kind of Hush
There's a kind of hush
All over the world tonight
All over the world
You can hear the sound of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us
And nobody else in sight
There's nobody else and I'm feelin good
Just holding you tight
That's how I make myself happy... by making another happy... I hope.
15. Will you ever have children?
Nicholas Hooper - Darkness Takes Over
What the hell does this mean? That when I have children, darkness will take over my life? Haha. The piece is creepy though... is it the scene when dementors come in? *shudders*
16. What song will you strip to?
Madonna - Beautiful Stranger (William Orbit Radio Edit)
Haha... I got lucky. This song is kinda... strippable. Compared to someone else's result. Haha. This is a nice song... and no I'm not getting too comfortable!
17. What does your mom think of you?
Nicole Kidman, Jim Broadbent, Caroline O'Connor, Natalie Mendoza and Lara Mulcahy - The Show Must Go On (Original Film Version)
Okay, no need the lyrics, the title says it all. Good hor. 'The show must go on'... what does that mean?
18. What is your deep dark secret?
The Fray - Trust Me
We're only taking turns
Holding this world
It's how it's always been
When you're older you will understand
And then again maybe you don't
And then again maybe you won't
My secret is that we're taking turns to hold the world, that if anyone lets go...
19. What is your enemy's theme song?
Kylie Minogue, Robbie Williams - Kids
And we'll paint by numbers
Till something sticks
Don't mind doing it for the kids
So come on
Jump on board
Take a ride, yeah
(You'll be doin' it alright)
Jump on board
Feel the high, yeah
'Cause the kids are alright
So my enemy will behave like a kid? Painting by numbers and taking rides... Well I'm like a kid too. So that's how we do battle.
20. What's your personality like?
孙燕姿 － 一样的夏天
Another Stefanie song! If you're wondering why both Chinese songs are by Stefanie, it's 'cause I only have Stefanie haha. This song is laidback and romantic and sings of summer. I like summer. Hot and balmy, yes, but when the warm sun shines in on a lazy afternoon... Mmm...
21. What will be played at your wedding?
Outkast - Ghettomusick
Find a way to get out, wit out, hit out
You dig in, dig out, you get out
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
Find a way to get in, the fit in the ghetto
You get out, wit out a dime
Ghettomusick, ghettomusick
I just want you to know, how I feel
Feeling good, feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
I just want you to know, how I feel
Feeling good feeling great
Feeling great, feeling good, how are you?
Haha quirky song to have at a wedding. This will be when the party begins! Okay lah, not a big fan of Outkast but it's fun haha.
Well... this was a cool way to get me to listen to songs I haven't heard in a while heh. Hmm. Will think more later on. Somehow my brain is not focusing... Eating cake now...
read my mind
Got a Craving?
