Song Posting Game

[MadmanOnWheels]

I just thought of a new game. 

Post your favorite songs, or just songs that you just like that have lyrics.

Rules:

• The second poster and each one after that has to post his or her favorite lyrics of the previous song, in order to post a song. Yes, this means that you actually have to listen to the (whole) song.
• All songs must not be indecent in lyrics, the title, band name, or album art. (I reserve the right to delete any indecent post) I'm pretty sure that I won't need to, knowing which people normally play these games.
• All songs must be in English
• Don't just post the title of the song, just because it's in the song lyrics. It has to be more than a short phrase. It needs to be long enough that it shows that you actually cared about posting those lyrics, because you liked them.
• If you're not into that song, wait for the next song, to see if you like it enough to post lyrics from it, in order to post your own favorite song (in the same post, below).
• Artists may post their own songs, as their favorites, but there should be no advertising of any kind, with it.
• Posters may explain why they like the song that they're posting, or some like that, but don't make it a huge post.
• One song per post
• Songs posted must always be accompanied by the previously posted song's lyrics.

Don't worry, you don't have to listen to all the songs in this game. You only have to listen to the song that you want to post your favorite lyrics to, in order to post a song. Although, you're obviously free to listen to any song in the game. And having the lyrics posted will possibly tell you if you will like a song. That may promt you to listen to those songs that you haven't heard.

Well, I hope you all have fun with this. Maybe everyone will discover some songs that they like.

I'll go ahead and start it off.

This song is is pretty much an anthem of what we love that's motivating and encouraging. "The song gets it."

My fav lyrics from that song is this

"Music is worth living for
Music makes life worth living"

Heres the next song:

Hey, K-I-M

My intent is to show the meaningful or otherwise interesting lyrics, and for people to actually listen to the songs. That's why I posted this as a rule.

• Don't just post the title of the song, just because it's in the song lyrics. It has to be more than a short phrase. It needs to be long enough that it shows that you actually cared about posting those lyrics, because you liked them.

You posted the song title, which is fine, if it's accompanied with more than just a short phrase. I thought there were some pretty good lyrics in this song, and I thought others might have brought those out.

... :')

From that James TW track I noticed this line:
"Staring in your navy eyes as we hold each other, dancing through the night"

Not often I see such color description for eyes. : )

(I would have linked to "the 90's" instead but that has lots of cursewords...)

My favorite lyrics from the Robbie Williams song are:

“I believe in the senses that I sound
I have always been too loud
Won't you help me drown it out”

Here’s another track:

My favorite lyrics in the Phish song are:

"Sometimes people build you up, just so they can knock you down."

Here's one of ths songs that got me through, during a certain time in my life. It's can be very motivational, too.

Really enjoyed that Iron Maiden track! Fittingly enough, I can imagine running to this. 

Favourite lyrics were the opening lines:

"Tough of the track,
With the wind,
And the rain that's beating down on your back"  

Here's my pick from the right honourable Swamp Dogg

I didn't know what this song was going to be like. It had some interesting lyrics and a nice classic sound. My favorite lyrics are:

"The word immitation is goin cross the nation
What's real has become a freak
Someone's tryin' to make me weak.
Strange initials to keep me blind."

To me, they mean that being fake is gaining popularity, while what's normal, right, or of good quality is becoming ostracized. The third line, to me, means how people are putting things in food to mess with male testosterone levels in order to make them more feminine. And the 4th one is how people make up stuff, like in text messaging (which they aren't even making initials, leaving out the periods, but the idea is there), while expecting educated people to understand what they meant, instead of spelling it out.

This one is in Memory of someone who I lost 3 years ago.

Love the song lyrics to that song, this was my fav line, I can connect o this song, as I have lost somebody recently which I was close to

"I'll always be in your memories.
I will always be with you when i'm gone."

Uhh slightly tricky since I don't really click with any of it 😅 but I guess the following line, partly:

 "You know we'll never act our age
So we might as well be what they say
Two kids in love"
Just because I don't feel like a grownup at all. : )

 my fav line from that song is

"Disposable darling
Can't throw you away now
Immortal and life size"

cool keep it up!

Hey, Sebasty

If you aren't really into a song, if you "don't really click with any of it", don't feel an obligation to post any of the lyrics. Just wait for another song that you do like lyrics of to come along, then post your song.

• "If you're not into that song, wait for the next song, to see if you like it enough to post lyrics from it, in order to post your own favorite song (in the same post, below)."

Part of the point of the game is for you to connect with the songs, but nobody will connect with every song.

I like the speed of this game. It's slower, but consistent and getting people to actually listen to the songs that are posted, instead of a hurried game, where we post songs as quickly as we can, without listening to them. That defeats the purpose of the songs. This last section wasn't directed to you, Sebasty. I was just letting everyone know that I kind of like how this game is going for the most part.
