Place your mp3 player on shuffle. Name the first 20 songs and give 3 details about each.
I think this post is something of a cheat, but I also think it kind of reveals something about people to know what they listen to. And a little of what it means. I'm going to tell you straight up that I will probably skip some songs, because there are some on my mp3 player that are only on there because I haven't remembered to take them off, but I never listen to them. I figure those don't count.
Time to Pray - Sirusho, Elena & Boaz: This song is by Israeli artists, sung in Hebrew and English. It is a pop song. I am reminded of how much I would love to go to Israel when I hear it, or at least speak Hebrew fluently.
En Donde Estas Tu - Christian Castro: This is a romantic song. It is on my mp3 player because I received it as a gift. It is a song of sadness and hope.
You're the Only Place - Josh Groban: I love this song. It brings back many memories, namely from Santiago. One night it was part of the soundtrack to a beautiful walk in the rain.
Per Te - Josh Groban: The video to this song is sad to me. The lyrics are remarkably beautiful, though I do not speak Italian. It truly is random that two Groban songs would be side by side in a shuffle list.
Nights in White Satin... - Mario Frangoulis: There is a pretty musical introduction to the song. It is soothing. The artist is from Greece.
We Are - Deux: This is a song from a dance video game. I always see a dude with a 'fro in my mind when I hear it, probably from the video. This is one of the Mr.'s most fun to watch, when he goes more freestyle.
A Dios le Pido - Juanes: I tried to memorize the lyrics to this song, but I think I always had a hard time with the a couple of sections. The song was used in a teleserie while I lived in Santiago. It makes me wish I had dancing skills.
Battle Theme 1 - Yoko Shimomura: This is from Kingdom Hearts (Birth by Sleep)G. The composer is FREAKING AWESOME. I feel like I am in the middle of something monumentally important when it comes on while I drive.
See Through (I think) - Girly Berry: The song is in Thai. It was the intro song for a radio talk show in Santiago. I hear it, and I think of riding in a taxi to get to the subway on the way to work while sharing earphones to hear the show.
Everlasting Love - Akitaka Tohyama, ...: This is from We love Katamari. Only the title and parts of the song are in English, the rest is in Japanese. I hear it and I smile.
Ecuchame - Carlos Ponce: This is a song for lovers. "I am a perfectly failed clumsy fool, to show myself so stupidly in love, but it's impossible to deceive you with that look...." It seems like the perfect song for slow dancing.
Cu'Mme: Mario Frangoulis +: The female artist who accompanies him is only about 12 or 13, but seems quite a bit older with her voice. She sings in Spanish; he in Greek and Spanish. This song tells my hips that they need to move.
Anatevka - Fiddler on the Roof soundtrack: I have played this song on the flute. I have the version from the musical pictures in my wishlist from my last post. I enjoy the sad, lilting rhythm.
Deep Anxiety - Yoko Shimomura: You cannot stop me from peddling like a madwoman when this comes on during my workout. It is also from Kingdom Hearts. I seem to recall it coming from a travelling segment.
Molly Malone - Skully: I will blare this on the radio and sing along. It is a depressing sort of rendition to what is apparently a drinking song. I downloaded it (free, legally) as a part of background music for a St. Patrick's Day/Birthday party.
Pienso en ti - Carolina Nissen: The artist is Chilean. She plays many instruments, as well as composes her own music. I knew nothing of her until I left Chile.
Explosive - Bond: Three violins and a chelo. The video to the song depicts a revolution through music in an unnamed Latin American location. It is music that inspires movement.
Always - RyanDan: The singers are twins who harmonize well. They are Canadians living in London. This song is good, but I like "High" probably a little more.
Dark Comet's Reign - Luca Turilli: The artist is also part of a group. This music, as well as the music performed by the group, are of the same genre that I am unsure of how to name. The music is intense, but the lyrics are clean.
Runaway Train - Soul Asylum: I love this song but tend to skip it after only hearing a few bars since it is a bummer of a song. It remember it from Junior High/High School. I still enjoy the lyrics.
