August Lyrically Speaking Day 5: Pandora Friday

August Lyrically Speaking Day 5 – Pandora Friday

Another idea ripped off from lb13. I love Pandora radio. It’s the perfect compromise between playing only the music I want and a random radio station. I give it an artist or song or two as a “seed” and then it plays similar music for as long as I want it to. The following 25 song lyrics (it’s a weekend, right? So you get extra songs to play with until Monday) represent about 4 hours of Pandora listening from last weekend. The seed artist was Jason Mraz, and I eliminated all the artist repeats (I think there were 5 songs by one artist during that time.) There’s at least one instance here where the same artist could be used twice, but on Pandora it was a cover artist who sang one of the songs more associated with the more famous singer. 1 point for each artist and title. Anyway have fun with it!

1. Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad

2. I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom

3. I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid

4. And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

5. And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

6. She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief

7. I'm a phoenix in the water
A fish that's learnt to fly I've always been a daughter
But feathers are meant for the sky
So I'm wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

8. Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,

9. When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble

10. Whenever this world gets the best of me
And it all goes wrong
I count down the hours till the time we meet
And I move along
'Cause I know that when I see you I will be

11. And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

12. Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find

13. Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words "I love you"
And you're beautiful

14. As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

15. And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl

16. Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is...

17. I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

18. It's not the same,
No, it's never the same
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me halfway,
If you would meet me halfway,
It could be the same for you.

19. I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain...

20. If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.

21. Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me

22. Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

23. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.

24. See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forget the topical regrets

25. I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

4. And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (Never cared for this song at all...)

8. Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,
Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars (The song that made me quit listening to my variety station for an entire year.... seriously, that's how much I hate this song.)

12. Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
Collide - Howie Day (I think I know the theme to this game... I only know every fourth song, and they're all songs I absolutely can't stand!)

15. And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl
This is a Mecca song from one of the recent CD's... but obviously not one I cared for since I can't remember which one.... and the beat goes on....

17. I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
She Will Be Loved - Maroon 5 (Not a song I hate, but probably one of my least favorite M5 songs....)

20. If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.
Gone Gone Gone - Philip Phillips (Finally one I like! "I'll be your crotch when your legs stop moving...")

23. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
I'm pretty sure this is a song, and possibly even artist that I detest... and obviously repressed from my memory.

24. See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forget the topical regrets
I'm sure I know this one as well, but I'm thinking it may be a song I actually like. Why in the hell am I answering this game like mini!?!?

11. Fix You/Coldplay

(THREE Cold Case closing songs!)

21. Come Home/One Republic
(FOUR Cold Case closing songs!)

[littlebeast13]

Postgame thoughts...

Wow... looking up the ones I knew I'd heard before, and some of frank's answers, it looks like this game was indeed full of songs I don't like (Which brings new meaning to the myth of Pandora). I guess that's no surprise since I'm no Jason Mraz fan (outside of "The Remedy") but geez, I like to think I can get to like just about any kind of music. I guess even I have my limits...

Boy was I so right on #15.... that may be the worst song in the whole damn game!

On #23... Ingrid!!! After I had praised you on my blog for "Be OK", now I find out you did that piece of crap song!?!? Oh well, we all make mistakes...

I figured #24 was a Mecca song, and I was right.. and one I even looked up before. And it's even funnier, because it totally has that Mraz sound to it. Had you used the "Fifty dollar cover charge" line, I'd have recognized exactly which song it was, though I'd since forgotten both the artist and title. And my hunch was also correct in that I do like that song, so that makes two for this game...

There’s at least one instance here where the same artist could be used twice, but on Pandora it was a cover artist who sang one of the songs more associated with the more famous singer. 1 point for each artist and title. Anyway have fun with it!

1. Give me more loving from the very start
Piece me back together when I fall apart
Tell me things you never even tell your closest friends
Make it feel good when it hurts so bad

2. I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom

"Breakeven" - The Script

3. I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid

4. And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

"Iris" - Goo Goo Dolls

5. And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

6. She's got a fine sense of humor when I'm feeling low down
And when I come to her when the sun goes down
Takes away my trouble, takes away my grief
Takes away my heartache in the night like a thief

7. I'm a phoenix in the water
A fish that's learnt to fly I've always been a daughter
But feathers are meant for the sky
So I'm wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

8. Oh you know, you know, you know
I'd never ask you to change
If perfect's what you're searching for
Then just stay the same
So don't even bother asking if you look okay
You know I'll say,

"Just the Way You Are" - Bruno Mars

9. When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
For those who don't remember me
Well let me introduce you to my style
I try to keep a jumble
And the lyrics never mumble

10. Whenever this world gets the best of me
And it all goes wrong
I count down the hours till the time we meet
And I move along
'Cause I know that when I see you I will be

11. And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

12. Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find

13. Together can never be close enough for me
To feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words "I love you"
And you're beautiful

14. As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

15. And I am feeling so small
It was over my head
I know nothing at all
And I will stumble and fall
I'm still learning to love
Just starting to crawl

16. Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is...

17. I don't mind spending every day
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile

"She Will Be Loved" - Maroon 5

18. It's not the same,
No, it's never the same
If you don't feel it too.
If you meet me halfway,
If you would meet me halfway,
It could be the same for you.

19. I think I'll start a new life,
I think I'll start it over, where no one knows my name,
I'll get out of California, I'm tired of the weather,
I think I'll get a lover and fly him out to Spain...

20. If you need help, if you need help.
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well.

21. Hello world
Hope you're listening
Forgive me if I’m young
For speaking out of turn
There’s someone I’ve been missing
I think that they could be
The better half of me

22. Blue as the sky, sunburnt and lonely,
Sipping tea in a bar by the roadside,
(just relax, just relax)
Don't you let those other boys fool you,
Got to love that afro hair do.

23. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.

24. See her heavy make up and cut t-shirt
Every girl out wants to be her
But they look the same already why adjust
Reading the magazine secrets
Forget the topical regrets

25. I miss the years that were erased
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they'd mean everything to me

For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

Home -- Jasmine Thompson The version I heard on Pandora is a cover of Gabrielle Aplin's version, which I looked up while researching this game. Verra nice.

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

And you'll begin to wonder why you came

How To Save A Life-The Fray Still remember my oldest singing this when he was first starting to find his voice.

It was over my head

23. I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.
Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.

The Way I Am -- Ingrid Michaelson Didn't know Ms. Michaelson, but I'm going to have to check out more of her. I was going to use a different section of lyric, but this one jumped out at me at the last minute. Kind of a female Paul Simon approach, IMHO.

Reading the magazine secrets
Forget the topical regrets

3. I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid

Apologize-Timbaland did the version on Pandora. I know it's been done by others.

Holy crap! The version by One Republic was also a Cold Case closing song! That makes 5 out of 25.

I should have gotten it. (I recognized the opening lines of the same song when they appeared in the last edition of LS.) The odds are if I recognize any songs that came out after 1990, it's because I heard them on Cold Case.

4. And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

Iris-Goo Goo Dolls Wow! Apparently the most popular modern song ever amongst trivia fans.

Not really -- but that "bleed just to know you're alive" phrase is very compelling, so I listen to the title/artist too, if RadioDude says them. The rest of them, not so much.
