Meme Before Bed

Via sovay:


Go to your music player of choice and put it on shuffle. Say the following questions aloud, and press play. Use the song title as the answer to the question..

(I've stuck in some lyrics too, because I'm like that. And killed one question, because it was stupid.)

What does next year have in store for me?
Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong, "Summertime"
(One of these mornings, you're gonna wake up singing, spread your wings and take to the sky)

What does your love life look like?
Coldplay, "Trouble"
(...and I lost my head, and thought of all the stupid things I said.
--and I never meant to cause you trouble. I never meant to do you wrong.)

What do I say when life gets hard?
Loreena McKennitt, "The Lady of Shalott"
(I'm half sick of shadows, she said.)

What do I think when I get up in the morning?
Paul Simon, "You Can Call Me Al"
(I want a shot at redemption. Don't want to end up a cartoon in a cartoon graveyard.)

What song will I dance to at my wedding?
Matthew Good, "In A World Called Catastrophe."
(In a world called catastrophe, my native tongue is blasphemy so that's the one I'll write)

What do you want as a career?
Hayden, "Tell Me Why"
(Sailing heart-ships through broken harbors, out on the waves in the night; still the searcher must ride the dark horse racing alone in his fright. Tell me why, tell me why is it hard to make arrangements with yourself, when you're old enough to repay but young enough to sell?)

Your favorite saying?
Josh Ritter, "Girl in the War (live)"
(If they can't find a way to help, they can go to Hell)

Favorite place?
The Sisters of Mercy, "Flood I"
(And her hallway moves like the ocean moves)

What do you think of your parents?
The Verve Pipe, "The Freshman"
(For the life of me I cannot remember what made us think that we were wise and we'd never compromise)

Where would you go on a first date?
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "Sweetheart Come"
(Walk with me now under the stars for it's a clear and easy pleasure; and be happy in my company for I love you without measure)

Drug of choice?
Sarah McLachlan, "Ice Cream"
(Your love is better than ice cream, better than anything else that I've tried) I swear I didn't cheat this one!

Describe yourself:
Finger Eleven, "For the Ocean"
(Without it I'm failing; my heart waits in the wings alone. The stages I go through keep coming time and time and time again. Do you wonder how I stay so complacent?)

What is the thing I like doing most?
Counting Crows, "Colorblind"
(I am folded and unfolded and unfolding.)

What is my state of mind like at the moment?
The Tragically Hip, "Courage"
(There's no simple explanation for anything important any of us do.)

How will I die?
Arcade Fire, "Windowsill"
(World war three, when are you coming for me? Been kicking up sparks to set the flames free. The windows are locked now, so what'll it be? A house on fire or rising sea? Why is the night so still? why did I take the pill? Because I don't want to see it at my windowsill)

What's your deepest, darkest secret?
Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, "Don't Give Up"
(No fight left or so it seems: I am a man whose dreams have all deserted. I've changed my face, I've changed my name, but no one wants you when you lose.)

What am I doing right now?
Smashing Pumpkins (cover), "Isolation"
(Mother I tried please believe me, I'm doing the best that I can.)


I think I got the post-apocalyptic version...
