So here's that music meme

[rusty_halo]

I couldn't resist this one. Even if no one guesses, I had fun doing it.

Anyway, music meme!

The rules:

Step 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 20 songs that play
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from
Step 4: Cross out the songs when someone guesses correctly

Most of these are pretty easy, actually. There are only a couple of obscure/underground songs here (and also one song that I'm horribly embarrassed about--guess which!).

1. The grabbing hands grab all they can / All for themselves / After all it's a competitive world
(bogwitch - Depeche Mode, Everything Counts)

2. Repentance won't alter the course / There's no escape from myself

3. Minutes slowly turn to hours / Another moment passes by / Seconds of eternity / I wonder if it's time to say goodbye

4. I want to fly / I want to run / I want to hide from you / Then I want to crawl back and lie down and hold on to you
(cluegirl - Tapping the Vein, The Ledge)

5. The killer in me is the killer in you / My love I send this smile over to you
(This is sort of a trick, because it's a goth/industrial cover of a mainstream song)
(bogwitch - Disarm - this was originally by the Smashing Pumpkins, but the version on my playlist is a cover by 16 Volt vs. Spahn Ranch)

6. Each day I can feel it swallow, inside something took from me
(chenanceou - Korn, Got the Life)

7. You may think that I'm out of hand / That I'm naive, I'll understand / On this occasion, it's not true / Look at me, I'm not you
(judithiscariot - New Order, Regret)

8. Got a gun, fact I got two / That's okay, man, 'cause I love god
(pickinguproses - Glorified G, Pearl Jam)

9. A fool could see just how much you adore me / Get down on your knees and do anything for me
(This is another cover of a famous song by a goth/industrial band.)
(buffyx - I Touch Myself - originally by The DiVinyls, covered by the Genitorturers)

10. This is the noise that keeps me awake / My head explodes and my body aches
(amerella - Garbage, Push It)

11. When summer fades to silence / When winter's still a dream

12. Am I wrong? / Have I run too far too get home? / Have I gone and left you here alone?
(doyle_sb4 - Alice in Chains, Would?)

13. You know nothing about me / I know all about you

14. And I don't want to be part of your world / And I don't want to see the things you see

15. Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart / Easily and elegantly tear my world apart
(voodoo_in_tx - Depeche Mode, Surrender)

16. The sweat in your eyes the blood in your veins are listening to me / Well I want to wrap it up and swim in it until I drown
(cluegirl - Nine Inch Nails, The Only Time)

17. Be a good girl like you're supposed to / Dominate your fears

18. It's all ending / I gotta stop pretending who we are
(kbk - No Doubt, Don't Speak)

19. Walks on his own, with thoughts he can't help thinking / Future's above, but in the past he's slow and sinking
(pickinguproses - Nothingman, Pearl Jam)

20. Fail to see the tragic, turn it into magic / My big top tricks will always make you happy / But we all know the hat is wearing me
(bogwitch - Marilyn Manson, Dope Hat)

12. Alice in Chains, Would

[amerella.livejournal.com]

I'm horrible at these. Some of them look farmiliar, but I can't quite... Grr. At least I know one. #10. Garbage - Push It.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

#1 Depeche Mode Everything Counts

[cluegirl.livejournal.com]

4 -- Tapping the Vein -- Falling In
16 -- NIN -- The Only Time

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Yup, NIN.

Oh, so close! I didn't think anyone would guess Tapping the Vein at all. But that's not the song....

[cluegirl.livejournal.com]

Oh -- of course it isn't. It's "The Ledge". *facepalms*

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

#5 is Disarm, not sure who covered it though.
#20 Dope Hat Marilyn Manson

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Got 'em.

The Disarm cover is by 16 Volt Vs. Spahn Ranch. It's quite good.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Know them well. ::cough::

[buffyx.livejournal.com]

9. I Touch Myself -- The DiVinyls, though if it's the cover I'm going to guess the Jack Off Jill version? I personally love this song as done by The Scala Choir.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Got the song!

But it's the Genitorturers version, actually. I didn't even know Jack Off Jill covered it.

I'll have to check out the version you mention....

7. New Order - Regret

[kbk]

#18 - No Doubt - Don't Speak

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Got it.

That's the one I'm somewhat embarrassed about. I really can't stand No Doubt. But the emotion behind that song is so real....

[pickinguproses.livejournal.com]

Got a couple:

8. Glorified G, Pearl Jam

19. Nothingman, Pearl Jam

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Awesome, another Pearl Jam fan. :)

[txvoodoo.livejournal.com]

Dude. 15. Depeche Mode. Um.....um.....*racks brain*

Surrender?

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

You got it. :)

#6 Korn
Got a Life

Thanks to my Jo who is a fan. Big fan.

[rusty_halo.livejournal.com]

Go you. :)

I really liked Korn's first album, back when it first came out. But then they just kept making the same album over and over ... never seemed to grow as a band, got really repetitive.... And suddenly every rock band sounded just like them and it was really lame.... :(
