Music Survey ganked from Brandi.
Feb. 6th, 2005 12:59 pmStep 1: Get your playlist together, put it on random, and play!
Step 2: Pick your favorite lines from the first 25 songs that play! (Make sure they don't include the title of the song)
Step 3: Post and let everyone you know guess what song the lines come from!
1. … around, the brilliant stars you ride, and you are speaking to me like very word you say can break apart something real.
2. Fingernails, they scratch outside/In the attic is where I’ll hide
3. Grapes of wrath are fruits of passion/Fulsome hands don’t feel repentance
4. Re-awaken me, entranced by flesh and names. Her beauty haunts me, an encompassing embrace.
5. Words are weak, as I am proof: That fools use words to speak the truth
(I alone stand not so tall. I block out one, I block out all – I can’t pick between the two)
6. Ostrich and Egret and Peacock had very small dreams/Thinking of them just reminds me of calendar scenes/Nobody’s laughing when everyone’s weeping, it seems.
7. How can I believe this miracle/Where the wind blows dry/Through the force of a man/Undenied by his eye.
8. Shall I call on you to guide me well/to see our hopes and dreams fulfilled? On this day of our ascention/on this day we praise the fallen.
9. Tell me night falls/Tell me love calls/Tell me anything at all
10. Hell is an empty house/haunted by a child’s voice
11. Have you tried anything, everything, all to no avail?
12. I know you’re wrong/But I can’t change a single thing. It’s like it’s meant to be.
13. Can I, hold you, in pages, adore you, in words that cast this power over me. Can I know you in pages enthrall you, with words that hold power over me.
14. Etiolation emphasized by merry thoughts once broken by moonlight/Oh brighter to have never loved than gather ghosts, of the blinding relentless sun idealized in you.
15. All legs and wings/Strange sandy eyes.
16. If I kissed you one more time to help you face the nightmare.
17. Blood is thicker than water/Rain of blood, rain of blood/From below, comes your voice/Tears of blood, tears of blood.
18. I’m seeing ghosts (I’m drinking old) red water, red water, red water chase them away.
19. …bitterkeit mein dunkles herz umspült (SO GOTH!!!)
20. … I fit quite well her feline saunter. Rings and echoes called we two, a sing-song court it beckoned her.
21. … öffne das Tor den schwarzen Legionen …
22. I can’t forget/Having to see/The words that knocked the wind right out of me/It’s not enough/I’ve come undone/Trying to find sense where there is none.
23. And all my words come back to me, in shades of mediocrity. Like emptiness and Harmony, I need someone to comfort me.
24. A fading night, I feel the light, a day that dawns in grey.
25. Am I here, in your breath? Remnants of where you were, I am. Lost and how I wait for you. Holding on…
Nobody is going to manage this. I HAVE HOPE FOR NONE OF YOU. Don't cheat. I'll post answers next week some time. It won't count toward your grade.

An interesting experiment.
Feb. 6th, 2005 01:35 pmI was playing with the dictation softward the came, unbeknownst to me all these years, with my computer. I was narrating Conrad Aiken poetry into it, and this is what it came up with:
once again for driver
among the best
and bring the world brightness the is
in this moment when all is well
as when heaven and hell bargain for the glory
over the fence and
holds barred
sings to serious
and the wave of all that the server rates
on all in the. The
'all is well, as when heaven and hell bargain for the glory'
That's cool.
