stolen from multiple folk:
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:
How does the world see me?
Summerlite- Dave Mulcahy:
“In this big/small world, we all live our lives, and snow fall down in a blink of an eye, but it makes no sense when you’re only 14…”
i’m not sure how to take this, I mean its a love song, saying that he’ll be there forever… perhaps the world thinks i’ll be around forever?
Will I have a happy life?
Stereolab- People do it all the time
well………. heh
What do my friends really think of me?
Fiona Apple- Carrion
“And All I Want Is To Save You, Honey, or The Strength To Walk Away…
Won’t Do No Good To Go No Distance, the Space Between Us Is As Boundless As The Dark
Won’t Do No Good To Throw No Fist, you Can’t Intimidate Me Back Into Your Arms”
uhh…. maybe this is something to do with the distance between myself and my good friends who mostly have moved away from new zealand.
Do people secretly lust after me?
The K1500- The Sunday Song
its an instrumental… so I guess I’m not to know.
How can I make myself happy?
Carole King- You’ve got a Friend
“You just call out my name,And you know wherever I am, i’ll come running to see you again,
Winter, spring, summer or fall all you have to do is call and I’ll be there
You’ve got a friend”
I guess this means I can make myself happy by either being a good friend, or taking good care of good friends.
What should I do with my life?
Ben Harper- Welcome to the Cruel World
” Yes it is a cruel world, when you’re tryin’ to get by, it’s a cruel world, when you’ve seen the look in their eye
makes life hard living, but I’m so scared to die.”
apparently my life isn’t going to be much fun, and hard work… although very non specific.
Will I ever have children?
Billie Holliday – Those Foolish Things
“A fair ground painted swings, These foolish things remind me of you.”
thats the only thing that sounds like a children reference… but it seems i’m going to have a good time remembering things about someone…perhaps children
What is some good advice for me?
The Flying Lizards- Money
heh…. money thats what I want…. yep… perhaps this is to do with me getting a nice paying architecture job to pay my bills.
How will I be remembered?
The Nuggets- Louie Louie
Oh man, I’m going to be remembered by a song that is really a theme song for frat boy movies… (animal house, people!)
What is my signature dancing song?
Superette- Waves
“waves, I don’t want to live today, ocean blue take me away, and I might see you, tomorrow.”
I love this song, and would sway to it anytime, but I don’t know about busting a move to a song about killing.
What is my current theme song?
Mercury Rev- A drop in time
“Her words profane, her mouth divine, I tried to sympathize with both sides
But I was caught, like a fleeting thought, Stuck inside Leonard Cohen’s mind.”
I’ve only really listened to the lyrics now… its a pretty weird song…. I always liked the tune… although now looking at the lyrics this is somewhat appropriate.
What do others think my current theme song is?
Dave Brubeck Quartet- Take five
ooh another instrumental, a well known tune, and upbeat… I can deal with that.
What song will play at my funeral?
Nick Drake -Thoughts of Mary Jane
“Who can know the reasons for her smile, What are her dreams when they’ve journeyed for a mile
The way she sings and her brightly coloured rings, Make her the princess of the sky.”
This is a very pretty song, so I could deal with it being at my funeral
What type of men and women do I like?
Beck- He’s a mighty good leader
I know its like a gospel song but I’ll go for the fact I like strong willed men.
What is my day going to be like tomorrow?
The Beatles- Norweigan wood
apparently I’m going to have a dodgy night out.
