Lyrically Speaking - 2/29/24
Posted: Thu Feb 29, 2024 3:13 am
For our final look back at the decades, we have the 2010's... with the allegedly random spinner landing on 2015. Yep, I asked a trusted random number generator to randomly pick a year in each of six decades, and each time it chose a number five or less. Maybe next year we'll satisfy those who prefer the later years of decades....
Anyway, 2015! The year I somehow turned 40. While I just missed my sweet spot year of the decade (2014), I was still nevertheless easily able to find twelve popular songs from that year that I recognized, though maybe not necessarily liked. Good luck! Some of you will need it...
1 point for the title, 1 point for the artist...
I got around the usual ISE issues by adding an extra T to the word that seems to always trigger the ISE's, so don't criticize my poor speling!
1. Stylin', wilin'
Livin' it up in the city
Got Chucks on with Saint Laurent
Gotta kiss myself
I'm so pretty
2. You're the fear, I don't care
'Cause I've never been so high
Follow me through the dark
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
3. It's been a long night here and a long night there
And these long, long legs are damn near everywhere
4. When my hair's all but gone and my memory fades
And the crowds don't remember my name
When my hands don't play the strings the same way, mm
I know you will still love me the same
5. I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be deep in your love
And it's killing me when you're away
Ooh, baby, 'cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta gett one little taste
6. Midnight
You come and pick me up, no headlights
Long drive
Could end in burning flames or paradise
7. And I know she'll be the death of me, at least we'll both be numb
And she'll always gett the best of me, the worst is yet to come
But at least we'll both be beautiful and stay forever young
This I know, yeah, this I know
8. Now, there's one in California who's been cursing my name
'Cause I found me a better lover in the UK
Hey, hey, until I made my getaway
9. Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves
Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
10. Long live the pioneers
Rebels and mutineers
Go forth and have no fear
Come close and lend an ear
11. We were victims of the night
The chemical, physical kryptonite
Helpless to the bass and the fading light
Oh, we were born to gett together
Born to gett together
12. I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet
To go over everything
They say that time's supposed to heal ya, but I ain't done much healing
Kroxquo Bonus: Name another song with artist that was released or on the charts in 2015 (or anything kinda close, really).
Image Bonus: If you remember the 2010's, you obviously didn't live through them...
