Quick Music Quiz for a Friday Morning
April 27, 2007
Five questions about music:
- Has a song ever lifted you from sadness to joy?
- Has a song you’ve known forever ever taken on new meaning?
- Has anyone ever “ruined” a song for you?
- Has a song you heard for the first time ever spoken immediately to you?
- What is your theme song of the moment?
My answers after the jump:
- Sheryl Crow’s, “I’m Gonna Soak Up the Sun”
- Christina Aguilera’s “Keep on Singin’ My Song”
- I just got “Brown Eyed Girl” back
- The first time I heard “Soar”
- “Breakaway”
1. Guns N’ Roses “Sweet Child of Mine”. No matter what I am doing or how I am feeling, if I hear this song I have to sing and dance along. It is THAT good
2. The Beatles “Let it Be”
3. No, not yet…
4. The first time I heard “Breath Me” by Sia, I couldn’t stop crying (strange, I know). I guess it brought out all of these different emotions that I had deep inside me. I find it to be such a beautiful, poignant song.
5. “Party, Party, Join us, Join us” by Takashi Kimura
1. Rage Against the Machine - “Bulls on Parade”
2. Audioslave “Like a Stone”
3. No.
4. Yellowcard “Believe”
5. “Sandstorm” DJ Darude
1. ‘What a Wonderful World’ by Louis Armstrong
2. ‘Lightning Crashes’ by Live, or Taps; both for the same reason
3. I always liked the weird buzzing beat in ‘Intergalactic’ by the Beastie Boys, then someone told me it was a guy talking through a synthesizer, which is kind of lame.
4. ‘Homecoming’ by Green Day
5. ‘Shipping Up to Boston’ by Dropkick Murphy’s
1. “Man in the Mirror” by MJ or
“Loveshack” by the B52’s
2. “Blurry” by Puddle of Mud
3. Absolutely. My wife, every time she’s in my car.
4. “Don’t Know Why” by Norah Jones…The first time I heard that song it was raining outside my bedroom window, and as I woke up, I thought I was dreaming because you at the time, you just didn’t hear music like that on the popular air waves.
5. “Less Talk More Rokk” - Freezepop
