nekosenseiGuess song title and artist. No can Google!
1. Lyrics are arranged as complete sentences and are not separated by verse breaks.
2. Title does not appear in printed lyrics.
3. Clue is not the first line of the song. (With one exception).
3. No duplicate artists.
And yes, I geeked out and did more than 30 songs. Deal.
On to the songs:
1. "Suddenly I knew that you'd have to go. Your world was not mine, your eyes told me so. Yet it was there I felt the crossroads of time, and I wondered why."
First Few Lines: "The thundering waves are calling me home to you. The pounding sea is calling me home to you." ("The Old Ways" by Loreena McKennitt. Guessed by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ladyfox7oaks) I love love love this song!
2. "In the paper today, tales of war and of waste, but you turn right over to the t.v. page."
First Few Lines:There is freedom within, there is freedom without. Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup." ("Don't Dream It's Over" by Crowded House. Guessed bygindaisy)
6. "To think I might not see those eyes, makes it so hard not to cry. And as we say our long goodbye, I nearly do."
First Few Lines: I'll sing it one last time for you, then we really have to go. You've been the only thing that's right in all I've done."
10. "In the shadows of a golden age, a generation waits for dawn."
First Few Lines: Another night in any town. You can hear the thunder of their cry. Ahead of their time. They wonder why."
13. "Somehow I slept, I dream, I mean. I dreamt of nothing."
First Few Lines: I must have sneezed. On knees I freeze. I mean I just choked up."
18. "We spit into out hands, and breathe across the palms. Raising them up high, held open to the sun."
First Few Lines: Looking out the window, I see the red dust clear. High up on the red rock stands the shadow with the spear." ("The Rhythym of the Heat" by Peter Gabriel. Guessed byladyfox7oaks)
20. "Rain-dogs howl for the century, A million dollars a stake, As you search for your demi-god, and you fake with a saint."
First Few Lines: There must be something we can eat. Maybe find another lover. Should I fly to Los Angeles? Find my asshole brother." ("Everything Zen" by Bush. Guessed bynick_101)
23. "Mother used to say, 'If you want you'll find a way.' but mother never danced through fire showers."
First Few Lines: I don't feel a thing and I stopped remembering. The days are just like moments turned to hours."
26. "When you came in, the air went out." (I think this artist is obscure. Just give me the song title)
Big Hint: It's the opening of a TV show.
The clue above was already the opening of the song. Have another part of the song: "I'm the kind to sit up in his room. Heart sick an' eyes filled up with blue." ("Bad Things" by Jaycee Everett. Guessed bybkwrrm_tx. This is the theme song to "True Blood")
28. "Now all them things that seemed so important, well mister they vanished right into the air. Now I just act like I don't remember. Mary acts like she don't care."
First Few Lines: "I come from down in the valley, where mister when you're young, they bring you up to do like your daddy done." ("The River" by Bruce Springsteen. Guessed byangharad76)
Bonus Round: Songs in Spanish
34. "¿Qué cultura, qué cultura va a tener, un indio chumeca como Lorenzo Morales?
La primera parte de la canción: "Acórdate Moralito de aquel día que estuviste en Urumita y no quisiste hacer parranda."
El cantante de esta canción es de Colombia. Su estilo es vallenato pop.
