Name that tune!

[littleginsu]

Someone above you will post lyrics to a song and the goal is to guess the song title and artist..! Let's all play fair.. no Googling or visiting lyric websites!!!!!

[littleginsu]

weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

[KayJay]

clueless.

[littleginsu]

Oy! Maybe I picked on that's too hard!?!

[KayJay]

mmm.
I'll try my kids tomorrow.
My DS is a lyrics boy.

[~Cathi~]

No clue here either, and I just asked my 16yo daughter and she has no clue either hehe

You stumped us!

[Bec]

ooooh you've got me singing now ' Starry, Starry Night' Don McLean?
I did art history at Uni and that one always sticks in my mind because of the Van Gogh connection.
How you suffered for your sanity.

[littleginsu]

You got half of it Bec... the title is not Starry Starry Night.. but oh so close!

[littleginsu]

Okay.. well this one bombed..!

The song is Vincent by Don McLean:

Starry
starry night
paint your palette blue and grey

look out on a summer's day
with eyes that know the
darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
sketch the trees and the daffodils

catch the breeze and the winter chills

in colors on the snowy linen land.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they did not know how

perhaps they'll listen now.

Starry
starry night
flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
Colors changing hue
morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces lined in pain
are soothed beneath the artist's
loving hand.
And now I understand what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity
how you tried to set them free.
perhaps they'll listen now.

For they could not love you
but still your love was true

and when no hope was left in sight on that starry
starry night.
You took your life
as lovers often do;
But I could have told you
Vincent
this world was never
meant for one
as beautiful as you.

Starry
starry night
portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls
with eyes
that watch the world and can't forget.
Like the stranger that you've met

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloddy rose
lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow.
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me

how you suffered for your sanity

how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
they're not
list'ning still
perhaps they never will.

[littleginsu]

Let's try this one!

You take the grey skies out of my way
You make the sun shine brighter than Doris Day
Turned a bright spark into a flame
My beats per minute never been the same

[KayJay]

mmm...something from Beatles

and sure, I recognize that 1st song once you put the title and artist on there.
I know I have heard that Doris Day line before...

[scrappinmint]

oohooh, I know this one! WHAM, or was is just George Micheal with this one? Anyway, it's Wake Me Up Before You Go Go

Oh great now I got that song stuck in my head.

[littleginsu]

Awesome Job, scrappinmint!

[littleginsu]

Anyone else wanna give us some lyrics to guess?

[Ellie]

Ooh, fun! I got one!

you wear sandals in the snow
and a smile that won't wash away
can you look out the window
without your shadow getting in the way
oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms

[proverbswoman]

Oooh, that's Sarah McClachlan's "Building a Mystery". I love that one!

[Ellie]

Yes! Me, too!

You were fast!

[Sine]

And all she wants is to dance
That's why you'll find her on the floor
But you don't have a chance
Unless you move the way that she likes

[littleginsu]

omg! I know this one.. but I don't!

[Sine]

It's not that hard.. ;) I'm pretty sure that everyone knows it.. Or at least the chorus.. ;)

[littleginsu]

She's a Maniac... or Maniac... ummm.. dunno who it's by...?

[Sine]

LOL I'm not telling.. But right now you're WAY off..

[Sine]

... it's perfect for booty shakin'.. :D

[littleginsu]

ARGH!!!

[~Cathi~]

Oh boy... I'm thinking! But coming up blank ..

[Ellie]

It's Justin Timberlake, but I can't think of the name of the song!!!

[Sine]

Ellie is on the track.. :D I'll give you half an hour then I'll tell the title..

[Sine]

And all she wants is to dance
That's why you'll find her on the floor
But you don't have a chance
Unless you move the way that she likes
That's why she's goin' home with me tonight

Those flashing lights come from everywhere
The way they hit her I just stop and stare
(oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
She's got me love stoned
Man I swear she's bad and she knows
I think that she knows


Justin - Lovestoned! *still booty shakin'* ;)

[Kami]

omg, i'm so gonna rock this game! i knew both of mel's and ellie's but i didn't want to ruin the fun.....

ok i've got one (one of my all time favorite parts of my all time favorite songs):

It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift

[~Cathi~]

I know I know!!!!!! Well, I know the song, but I don't know the artist, but I know the movie its in cause its one of my favourites too!!!

Hallelujah from the movie Shrek!!

[Becky {B~Creative Designs}]

That's by Rufus Wainright.:thumbup:

[Sine]

Or Leonard Cohen.. Or that Castro guy from AI.. ;)


Here's an easy one.. :D

Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll take to the sky

[littleginsu]

Okay, Sine.. I give up?! Man I suck at this game!

[KayJay]

I do, too Mel.

And I love music, too.

[littleginsu]

While we wait for Sine to give us the name of the tune.. here's another, super easy, one!

Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you

[Sine]

Arh come on.. Who doesn't know Summertime..???

That slipping and sliding does ring a bell.. Hmm.. *thinking*

[littleginsu]

Okay.. I'll give you another verse:

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you

[Sine]

Sorry Mel.. I just had to google it.. It wasn't the one I was thinking about but still soo sweet.. :D

[jaye]

I am so not good at this! LOL

[scrappinmint]

Ooooh, Van Morrison- Brown Eyed Girl!
Love Van Morrison!!

[she's_crafty]

This is an absolutely beautiful song!!!

[Kami]

well mel and i got plenty of tune time on our little adventure... ROFL

here's a must have for any road trip:

I been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money
We won't have to drive too far
Just 'cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs

[~Cathi~]

Oh oh oh.. Tracey Chapman, but I can't think of the name of the song?? I used to have her album! Yes, VINYL LOL

[jeepmama]

FAST CAR... woohoo!!!!

now I'll be singing it all day... LOL

[~Cathi~]

OMG that's it Jeepmama!!

You got a fast car..
is it fast enough so we can fly away
we gotta make a decision.. leave tonight
or live and die this way..

LOVE IT!!

[scrappinmint]

Okay, here's an easy one-

I loved you since I knew ya
I wouldn't talk down to ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't share you with another boy
I know my mind is made up
So put away your make up
Told you once I won't tell you again it's a bad way

[jeepmama]

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrooxanne...... you don't have to put on the red light....

Sting rocks!!!!

[jeepmama]

Ok... I guess I should post one now...
(Wanted to hit the reply button quick on the last one... LOL!!!!)

One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands....

Well I'm so far away
That each step that I take is on my way home
A king's ransom in dimes I'd give each night
Just to see through this payphone
Still I run out of time
Or it's hard to get through
Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you
I'll just close my eyes and whisper,
Baby blind love is true

[KeeMacKayMom]

Bed of Roses by Bon Jovi?

[KeeMacKayMom]

Oh, my love
my darling
I've hungered for your touch
a long lonely time
and time goes by so slowly
and time can do so much
are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love

[jeepmama]

Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.... great song!!!

[~Cathi~]

Ok, heres a REAL easy one.. and a hint.. its also found in the market! Bahah that gave it away already, didn't it??

Her hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by

[KayJay]

Gotta be Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses. =)

[scrappinmint]

Love Guns and Roses!!

here's one that's been stuck in my head for a couple days:

I've listened to preachers
I've listended to fools
I've watched all the dropouts
Who make their own rules
One person conditioned to rule and control
The media sells it and you live the role

[scrappinmint]

Oh come on ladies (and gents) someone has to know this! LOL

[KayJay]

I suck at lyrics - sorry Patti.

[scrappinmint]

BIG HINT!
think former MTV family

[jeepmama]

Oh come on ladies (and gents) someone has to know this! LOL

Got no clue...and the only MTV family I can think of is Ozzy's. It's been years (maybe a decade?) since I've watched MTV... pretty much stopped watching when they stopped playing Music...

[scrappinmint]

Got no clue...and the only MTV family I can think of is Ozzy's. It's been years (maybe a decade?) since I've watched MTV... pretty much stopped watching when they stopped playing Music...

haha, your'e closer to the answer than you think! LOL I haven't watched MTV in years either. Isn't it CRAZY how they've changed over the years.

[KayJay]

Meatloaf. Taking a stab here, Under the Dashboard Lights...suck at song titles, too.

It can't be Poison, can it? lol

[scrappinmint]

Nope, sorry Kathy, not Meatloaf or Poison. :smile:

[KeeMacKayMom]

Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne?

[jen_e]

I think it is Crazy Train by Ozzy as well.....love the Osbournes....lol

here is mine it is one of my fav. songs....would use my fave but it is tooo easy

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

[scrappinmint]

Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne?

Whew, I'm glad someone finally got that! :icon_rotate:

[~Cathi~]

Jen, that song is on the tip of my tongue :icon_blaugh: Can you see it???? Seriously, I just can't get the rest of it.. I have the tune and all, but can't get past that last line... arghhH! :eek2:

[littleginsu]

How to save a life... by umm...

[littleginsu]

The Fray!!

[littleginsu]

Have to catch an early train
Got to be to work by nine
And if I had an air-o-plane
I still couldn't make it on time
'Cause it takes me so long
Just to figure out what I'm gonna wear
Blame it on the train
But the boss is already there

[jemenifer22]

Manic Monday by The Bangles... Here's one, an older that I love:

Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

[jeepmama]

oooh oooh oooh.... Journey.... ummmmmmmm

Don't Stop Believin'!!

Great song...and they were just in concert in Charlotte, I think...

[jeepmama]

Forgot the next song...LOL! I'm getting jumpy with the "Post" button today!!

Here is one for country music fans....

I've traveled here and everywhere, following my job
I've seen the paintings from the air, brushed by the hand of God
The mountains and the canyons reach, from sea to shining sea
But I can't wait to get back home, to the one he made for me.

:smile:

[Jab]

No country music fans out there??? LOL

Lonestar- Front porch looking in

is that right??

Heres another country one...its easy though...maybe I should post 2 one country, one non?? Can I do that?

Here is the one for you non country fans :)-

When you want to give up
and your hearts about to break
remember that your perfect
God makes no mistakes


--And for you country fans :)


I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

[heb1976]

Country - Rascal Flatts - My Wish

Non-Country - Welcome To Wherever You Are - Bon Jovi

[heb1976]

Forgot to post this :

And I know just where to touch you
And I know just what to prove
I know when to pull you closer
And I know when to let you loose
And I know the night is fading
And I know the time's gonna fly
And I'm never gonna tell you
Everything I gotta tell you
But I know I gotta give it a try

And I know the roads to riches
And I know the ways to fame
I know all the rules
And I know how to break 'em
And I always know the name of the game
