fun with your favorite musicians

[chestnutcurls]

In this fun quiz, you have to choose an band or artist, and answer the questions using only their lyrics. This is challenging, and can result in almost Mad Libs-esque answers. I have chosen the Cranberries, whose songs have been etched into the soundtrack of my life. :)

1. Are you male or female?
I wanted to be the mother of your child, and now it's just farewell ("I Can't Be With You")
2. Describe yourself.
Oh, my life is changing every day
In every possible way
And all my dreams, it's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems ("Dreams")
3. How do others feel about you?
And people everywhere think something better than I am ("Ode to My Family")
4. How do you feel about yourself?
What I am now is what I was then
I am not more acceptable then them ("The Rebels")
5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend. (well, not my boyfriend...)
You're spinning me around, my feet are off the ground
I don't know where I stand- do you have to hold my hand?
You mystify me, you mystify me, you mystify me ("Sunday")
6. What would you rather be doing?
Dreaming my dreams with you
I'll be dreaming my dreams with you
And there's no other place that I'd lay down my face
Than dreaming my dreams with you ("Dreaming My Dreams")
7. Describe where you live.
Oh this land in which we live
Where people love and are meant to forgive ("Put Me Down")
8. Describe how you love.
Now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
Totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind
You're everything to me ("Dreams")
9. Share a few words of wisdom.
Salvation, salvation, salvation is free. ("Salvation")

1. Are you male or female?
And I'm the wrong man for the job ("Wrong Man")

Save me I am perishing
In this grey of faith and form
Arise rebuke my content and my peace
Make my calm, Your storm
("My Calm, Your Storm")

3. How do others feel about you?
I just don't want coffee tonight
("I Just Don't Want Coffee")
(side note: blech... coffee)

4. How do you feel about yourself?
Looking back it is clear to me
That a man is more than the sum of his deeds
And how you've made good of this mess I've made
Is a profound mystery
("Lead of Love")

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend. (I'm single.. so how about a hypothetical GF)
But maybe you're the dream i'm waking from
'Cause I see you everywhere I go
Darlin' you are such a mystery to me, you know
("Love is Different")

6. What would you rather be doing?
Thank God I'm back in my car
And driving home
("Center Aisle")

7. Describe where you live.
But this is where i live, here
("Dance")
(note: The rest of that line is "in this old folks dormitory", but it doesn't fit)

8. Describe how you love.
'Cause love is different than you'd think
It's never in a song or on a TV screen
And love is harder than a word
Said at the right time and everything's alright
Love is different than you think
("Love is Different")

9. Share a few words of wisdom.
Prepare ye the way for the Lord
("Prepare Ye the Way")

Very nice. I especially liked #2... LOL. The other day a friend and I were singing that, and I couldn't remember Gaston's name. I said to Evan, "Do you remember the name of that really big guy in Beauty and the Beast?" He was like, "Ummm... the Beast?" :)

Okay, I really need to stop leaving a story in response to everything everybody says... :)

I'm using two artists because it's too hard with one. :) So here is Jennifer Knapp and Steven Curtis Chapman. Don't mind the fact that some of my answers are kind of a stretch. :)

1. Are you male or female?
And if He answers and I fall again, can I still be His daughter, can I still depend on Him? (His Grace Is Sufficient - JK)

2. Describe yourself.
For all the sin that lives in me it took a nail to set me free still what I do I don't want to do and so goes the story. (A Little More - JK)

3. How do others feel about you?
If the truth was known and a light was shown on every hidden part of my soul
Some would turn away, shake their heads and say [S]he still has such a long way to go
If the truth was known you'd see that the only good in me is Jesus (Miracle of Mercy - SCC)

4. How do you feel about yourself?
He died to save a wretch like me (Trinity - JK)

5. Describe your girlfriend/boyfriend. (hypothetical, and obviously not an accurate answer to the question but oh well)
'Cause what I really want to say
Is what the sun would say to the sky
For giving it a place to come alive....
I will spend my whole life
looking for a way somehow
To let You know just how
precious You are to me (What I Really Want to Say - SCC)

What would you rather be doing?
I wanna build a house upon this mountain
Way up high where the peaceful waters flow
To quench my thirsty soul
Upon the mountain (The Mountain - SCC)

7. Describe where you live.
So, as I go down to the valley (The Mountain - SCC)

8. Describe how you love. (Ideally)
I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone
And fill it up with you, make all your joy and pain my own
No matter how deep a valley you go through
I will go there with you
I will give myself to love, the way love gave itself for me
And climb the highest mountain, or swim a raging sea
To the place, where one heart is made from two
I will go there with you (Go There With You - SCC)

9. Share a few words of wisdom.
Be still and know that He is God (Be Still and Know - SCC)
