Name That Tune

This has been making the rounds, and I’ve enjoyed guessing on other people’s, so I thought I’d do one of my own. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle
Step 2: Post lyrics from the first 30 songs, not matter what they are
Step 3: Strike out the songs when someone guesses both artist and track correctly

Now it’s your turn to guess. Don’t Google (or use any other search engine, for that matter) – that’s cheating! Only guess if you know the answer off the top of your head.

Here we go…

1. If my arms could reach around you I would never move. If my eyes could see you I’d have no faith left to prove

2. Now I was once a fool, it’s true. I played the game by all the rules. But now my world is deeper blue. I’m sadder, but I’m wiser too.

3. One question haunts and hurts too much, too much to mention: was I really seeking good or just seeking attention? No Good Deed – Wicked soundtrack (Stephanie)

4. You are the grace that covers my sin. You’re everything, beginning and end. You have my soul, my heart and my mind. You have my love and all of my life.

5. Stars when you shine, you know how I feel. Scent of the pine, you know I feel. Now freedom is mine, and you know how I feel. Feeling Good – Muse (Natalie)

6. Did you find a directing sign on the straight and narrow highway? Would you mind a reflecting sign? Just let it shine with in your mind and show you the colors that are real. Spinning Wheel – Blood, Sweat & Tears (Jeff)

7. Oh, and there we were all in one place, a generation lost in space with no time left to start again.

8. Unaware of popularity, unconcerned with dignity. You’ve made me free. That’s proof enough for me. Fool for You – Nichole Nordeman (Kelley)

9. After the rain has fallen, after the clouds all roll away, the sweetest name remains on my soul.

10. Too bad, but it’s the life you lead. You’re so ahead of yourself that you forgot what you need. Though you can see when you’re wrong, you know you can’t always see when you’re right.

11. For there is love that is as strong as death, jealousy demanding as the grave. Many waters cannot quench this love. You Won’t Relent – Misty Edwards (Betsy)

12. Longing for a father to call her daughter, she’s part of a generation longing for reconciliation. Girl America – Mat Kearney (Natalie)

13. He’ll build a little home just meant for two, from which I’ll never roam. Who would? Would you?

14. Nothing’s true and nothing’s right, so let me be alone tongiht. ‘Cause you can’t change the way I am.

15. Then you listen to the music and you like to sing along. You want to get the meaning out of each and every song. Then your find yourself a message and some words to call your own and take them home.

16. I’m not sure where I belong. I’m not sure where I should lay my head down, lay my head down to sleep. I’m not sure where I fit in. I’m not sure where I should plant my feet down, plant my feet down.

17. Imagine a beautiful castle and a beautiful king. He left the comfort of his throne to fight for victory. Dreamer – Bethany Dillon (Stephanie)

18. All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful. Grey is my favorite color. I felt so symbolic yesterday. Mr. Jones – Counting Crows (Natalie)

19. Tempreture is spicy with slight humidity. The wind plays tag with my cheeks, and I feel so carefree.

20. Je ne comprais pas Francais. So you’ll have to speak to me some other way.

21. Saw your face again today reflected in the world around me. Held your eyes with my own gaze.

22. But every time it matters, all my words desert me. So anyone can hurt me, and they can do. So what happens now?

23. I came along. I wrote a song for you and all the things you do. Yellow – Coldplay (Natalie)

24. I was happy in my harbor when you cut me loose, floating on an ocean and confused.

25. I could try to forget what you do when I let you get through to me, but then you do it over again.

26. So I lay my head back down, and I lift my eyes and pray. Only Yours – Switchfoot or Mandy Moore (Natalie)

27. I’d sacrifice anything come withat might for the sake of having you near, in spite of the warning voice that comes in the night and repeats and repeats in my ear. I’ve Got You Under My Skin – Diana Krall or Ella Fitzterald or Frank Sinatra (Jeff)

28. Just imagine someone waiting at the cottage door where two hearts become one. Who could ask for anything more?

29. It takes no time to fall in love, but it takes you years to know what love is. It takes some fears to make you trust. It takes those tears to make it rust. It takes the dust to have it polished.

30. God of my salvation, hope of righteousness, you paid the price of freedom. You took a lonely cross. You Saw Me – Hillsong (Natalie)

Some of those are pretty easy, but that’s what came up in the shuffle. Although, I have to admit skipping a few – orchestral tracks and things in foreign languages that I couldn’t begin to transcribe mostly. And sorry, I don’t have a prize like Natalie promised on her post. But winning is still winning! So guess away!
