There’s a lot of action at Houndstooth Hall on this Wednesday, and it will be noisy, so I may have to be gone for a while to preserve my sanity. Someone I follow on social media posted snippets from a meme. You’re supposed to shuffle your music library and write down the song that matches each category below. Pretty sure you can find all of these on YouTube if you’re curious about any you don’t recognize.
1 This song will play at your wedding
Beatles: If I Fell (wedding was long ago, but it’s perfect, because I have an entire unwritten novel’s love story based around this song, lol)
2 This song best describes how you die
Gregg Allman: These Days (apparently I’m going to die of guilt for how I mistreated a lost love)
3 This song will play at your funeral
Lenka: Trouble Is a Friend (trouble must have been TOO good a friend)
4 This song is your theme song
Taio Cruz: Dynamite (hell, yeah, I’m gonna rock this club, I’m gonna light it up like it’s dynamite)
5 This song will play when you think of someone you love
Mr. Mister: Broken Wings (this song always makes me think of Paul McCartney, and I DO love him; it’s true)
6 This song will play when you think of someone you dislike
The Alan Parsons Project: I Wouldn’t Want to Be Like You (damn, my iTunes library is psychic)
7 This song will play when you get something you want
Portugal. The Man: Feel It Still (hmm, the first time I ever heard this song, it played on a TV show while two girls were shoplifting)
8 Add “with a lighter and matches” to the end of this song
Gary Jules: Mad World (with a lighter and matches) (it works!)
9 This song best describes your week ahead
Don Henley: The Boys of Summer (don’t look back, you can never look back)
10 This song will make you fall asleep
Fleetwood Mac: Sara (possibly, but there are other likelier candidates)
Trouble is a friend is on the all about Marika playlist
You’re the one who gave me the song.
My fall asleep song is “Chasing Pirates” by Norah Jones even though I think it’s about worry over imaginary things keeping her from falling asleep.
I’ll have to listen to it and see if it helps me fall asleep. =)
I listened to the song (because what keeps me up is worrying OR writing in my head) and then I watched the video, which was really cool, and now I think when I can’t sleep I’ll probably be thinking about that video and its story and all the stories that I can make from it. So… I still won’t sleep.
The only one of those that I know is Mad World!
I’m pretty shocked you don’t know the Beatles’s “If I Fell” or Fleetwood Mac’s “Sara.” They get so much radio play even now (depending on the station, and I know nothing about British radio).
