3: One Tree Hill, U2

[grue23.livejournal.com]

3) u2 - one tree hill

[grue23.livejournal.com]

a) DCfC - what sarah said

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Damn my having to listen to #6.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

*smug*

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

6: She's a Beauty, The Tubes

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

e. phil collins, take a look at me now

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, it's probably that. At least I had the artist right.

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

i believe the full title is "Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)" :)

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

nerd!

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

:D

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I have to second that "Nerd!". And be happy that I did get it right without any iTunes support.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

e: Against All Odds, Phil Collins

[grue23.livejournal.com]

what's that, Ms. Made-Fun-Of-Me-For-Having-Phil-Collins-mp3s?

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

See above.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

I'm going to have to delete that before I take the moral high-ground, aren't I.

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

e is phil collins, against all odds ;)

[grue23.livejournal.com]

b) peter gabriel - don't give up

[anzubird.livejournal.com]

b is peter gabriel, don't give up

I'm getting an inkling of the theme :(

[grue23.livejournal.com]

tie :)

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Nope. (If anyone ever gets the last two songs it will be more clear i think.) See my comment to peachespig.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

genesis - either former band members, or characters in the Bible book

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Not exactly, but close enough to give you shared credit. :)

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

the theme is loss, losing somebody?

[grue23.livejournal.com]

7) TMBG - It's Not My Birthday

[grue23.livejournal.com]

theme = be strong despite tragedy

[peachespig.livejournal.com]

theme's got peter gabriel and phil collins, which sounds like genesis - but i don't think any of the dtfc guys were in genesis :)

[grue23.livejournal.com]

soulful male singers? ;)

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

You are so close on the theme. You basically have it, but not why the DCfC song (and both unguessed songs, btw) fit.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

I'm wondering if the theme has something to do with side projects, etc. But DCfC makes even less sense then, since they are the main project.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

No, that's not it. peachespig's first guess is closer.

[grue23.livejournal.com]

This is probably not right given what you said to me, but:

songs that feature piano

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Nope. Now you are heading in a new wrong direction.

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

Okay, so Sarah is a character in the Bible book Genesis. So is it variations on the word Genesis? And one of the other songs will have something to do with creation?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Close enough. :) (But no, no song about creation. I totally should have done that, though.)

[luvmoose.livejournal.com]

1: Einstein on the Beach, Counting Crows

[sisyphus91.livejournal.com]

#5- Little Miss Can't Be Wrong ~ Spin Doctors

I love that song. :)

[i-iambe.livejournal.com]

I almost had that, but I could only get as far as the next line, then my brain would stick. I gave up and googled the next line 'cause it was driving me nuts. I have to do that sometimes if it's killing me, but of course I can't post then. I almost have c, but I'm not giving up just yet.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Don't give up. (Like Peter Gabriel says.) I'm not sure many people on my FL have that one.

Cute new kitty pic!

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

Number 8 is 'I'm so Tired' by The Beatles, and I want to take a stab at letter C- Is it 'Mercy in You' by Depeche Mode?

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

8 is right, C is wrong. The theme is guessed (it's "Genesis") - that may help.

[letters-to-ed.livejournal.com]

c. "Inside Out" Eve 6

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

AH! I knew what I guessed wasn't right. It's been bugging me all day. :)

[angeltaisha.livejournal.com]

Number 10 is 'Life and how to live it' by R.E.M

I've been tossing that phrase around for about an hour until it finally hit me. I'm actually disappointed in myself for not getting it right off the bat since they are only my favorite band since high school, lol.

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Isn't it funny how our brain works on these things? :) I highly doubt I could have gotten that one myself, not on the first line anyway!

[letters-to-ed.livejournal.com]

2. "Witness" Sarah McLachlan

[owlmoose.livejournal.com]

Yup. :)
