At last, a meme I really like...

[eldritchhobbit]

Gacked shamelessly from llembas

The best meme ever:
I want to have a complete soundtrack with one song from each of my friends. Pick one song (or more if you want) you want me to associate with you, then comment. You don't have to upload it. Just give me the name and artist, and I will find it myself. It can be your favorite song in the whole world, a recent favorite or just a song that you think really identifies you.

Thank you!

You're gonna make me miss you when you go by Madeline Peyroux

[melissagay.livejournal.com]

One of my little boy's favorite songs is "Ain't Nobody Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone," by Ralph Stanley (or maybe the Stanley Brothers?), which is the opposite of your song on so many levels that it makes me giggle!

[melissagay.livejournal.com]

Wow! There's so much to choose from... you know, though, the one song that I've always felt identifies me on some sort of primal level is "One Vision" by Queen (on the A Kind of Magic album, with all the Highlander music).

This is an awesome meme!!!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

I can see perfectly how this fits you. I love that album! Thanks.

Got to be Meet on the Ledge by Fairport Convention.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely going to check that one out. Thank you!

Brendan can be either "Inner Smile" by Texas, from the Bend It Like Beckham soundtrack (a perennial favorite song), or as "Mitwa" from the Lagaan soundtrack (current obsessive favorite).

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

"Inner Smile" is so perfect for him - I can just see that! (Now I'll always think of Brendan when I hear it.) I have the album of greatest hits by Texas, and it includes that one. I'll admit, though, that I bought the album for this. *grin*

that is one gorgeous icon. and, once again, virginia becomes ever more embedded in my images of you. :)

couple of possibles for me (and this is the list that doesn't endanger you with The Proclaimers [lol]):

* "Throw your arms around me" by Hunters & Collectors (Oz band; not sure if you can easily find this but I can send it to you if you'd like. 1980s angsty ballad)

* "Miss America" by David Byrne

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This icon is from the generous sithdragn. You know, my ultimate plan is to take over the entire world and force all of its inhabitants to worship Virginia. It's so easy, though, I don't think anyone will mind. :)

Oooh, good David Byrne tune! Do you mind sending me the Hunters & Collectors song? I'm not seeming to find it very easily. Thanks so much!

And I don't mind the Proclaimers. In fact, I would walk a thousand.... No, better stop there. :)

Georgia, by my man Ray.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Ah, class all the way. :) Lovely!

[agentxpndble.livejournal.com]

Do 'Something Changed' by Pulp for me. One of my favorites and a good one for this particular mix - Not to mention, time of my life... ;-)

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Great choice! Will do. :) Thanks!

[goodnightlady.livejournal.com]

I Could Be So Good For You by Dennis Waterman. And I'll upload it if you need me to because wow, hard to find.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Would you mind uploading it? I'd definitely owe you one. It does seem to be rather hard to find. Thanks so much! I can't wait to hear it.

[beledibabe.livejournal.com]

Sting's Desert Rose for me, because I danced to it right after my dance teacher of 20 years died. I could give her no better tribute.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

I adore this song! And now I know the special significance it has for you, I'll akways think of you when I hear it. *huge hugs* I'm so sorry it's such a bittersweet story, but it does sound like the perfect tribute.

different from Sith's

Hogan's Thing - Simon Haseley
Have love will travel - the Sonics
Midnight Rider - Alan Tam Wing Lun

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Outstanding! And these are new to me, so I can't wait to check them out. Many thanks!

[terrylj.livejournal.com]

At the moment, it's "I Can Only Imagine" by MercyMe.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

That is such a beautiful song. Great choice. Now I'll think of you every time I hear it! :) Thanks for adding your pick! :) :)

[febobe.livejournal.com]

"Into the West" - Annie Lennox - ROTK soundtrack :)

For numerous reasons. Numerous numerous, and not only LOTR, but several personal ones.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

*huge hugs* Wonderful - thank you!

"God's Gallipoli", by Poi Dog Pondering

I feel this song captures why I make art. When I move my art-making space from one house to another, I always "bless" the new space by playing this song, first thing.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! That's fascinating. I'm off to find it now - I can't wait to hear it! Thanks.

[seemag.livejournal.com]

It feels so dishonest to repeat a song I posted somewhere else, but really "Moon River" is one of my favorite songs, because I just love the melody and there are a couple of lines that really get me, especially the one about having so much world to see :-).

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

No, no, not dishonest at all - if that's the song, that's the song! Great choice, by the way. I heard a version of this by the late, great Sarah Vaughan that gave me shivers. Classy pick!

[theladyrose.livejournal.com]

Great idea for a meme! For me, I'd pick "The Windmills of Your Mind" as sung by Noel Harrison from the original The Thomas Crown Affair soundtrack or "Summer 78" as sung by Claire Pichet from the Goodbye, Lenin! soundtrack.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Wow! Would you believe that just this Tuesday I led a discussion of freshmen after showing Goodbye, Lenin! at school? Small world, isn't it? I love your song choices.

[sneezythesquid.livejournal.com]

Two songs:

Suddenly, Seymour - Rick Moranis, Ellen Green - Little Shop of Horrors Soundtrack. I've felt like Seymour Krelborn most of my life.

Little Conversations - Concrete Blonde - Free. These lines are my writing: You know I never could say anything/In twenty words or less.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

LOL! Awesome! Thank you!

[nakeisha.livejournal.com]

Eyes of Blue - Paul Carrack

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Wonderful! Thanks so much.

[galadhir.livejournal.com]

The Man who Sold the World by Bowie, because it reminds me of Hiperbunny's 'Bonds of Choice', which is my favourite Star Wars AU ever.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

What a great song! And I love the connection it makes for you. Great stuff. Many thanks!

[bellatook.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to be such a dork, but my all time favorite song to sing is
"Keep your hands to yourself" by Georgia Satellites...or "Ironic" by Alanis Morrisette.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Hey, those are fun songs! I can't even listen to "Keep Your Hands to Yourself" without bopping around. It's got a contagious feeling. Thanks so much!

Hey, G. Mine would be "Wake Me Up Inside" by Evanescence. Although I am also very fond of "What if God Was One of Us" (Joan Osborne), "Good to Go to Mexico" (Toby Keith), "Runaway Train" (Elton John and Eric Clapton) and "Unforgiven" (Metallica). Angst, spirituality, Party Toby, an outa control life and the search for redemption. Yup, that would be me, eh? And just in the breadth of the choosings, I think there's some kind of statement about being all over the frelling map. ;)

ROFlOL! You rule. I love this picks, and I love your description of them even more! Thanks!

[primsong.livejournal.com]

"The Color Green" by Rich Mullins on his "A Liturgy, A Legacy & a Ragamuffin Band" album - it is sheer poetry put to glorious music and speaks so much to my heart.

This is such a neat idea!

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I can't wait to here this. It sounds gorgeous! Thank you so much.

Depending on which personality is dominant at the time:

"Daydream Believer" by the Monkees
At heart, I'm a romantic. I want to believe the best about people I meet regardless of past experiences. Everything works out for the best, my life will eventually become the thing I dream it to be, I'll be surrounded by wonderful friends, family, and loved ones.

"Last Cup of Sorrow" by Faith No More
'Discovered' this song after a vicious falling out with a group of friends following a bad break-up. The song is all about how it's time to drink down that last cup of self-loathing and get on with your life. When I'm down about something and kicking myself because it's habitual for me, I listen to the song and begin the process of getting over it.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

These are both fantastic choices! Thank you for sharing them, and for telling the reason why. I'm a big Monkees fan, so now I'll always think of you when I hear this!

[saccage.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't remember its name at all, basically because its from their new album, "Ten Thousand Fists" ( That's still unreleased )but the radio stations have been tempting and teasing the fans by playing two of the songs.

The only thing I remember of it, is that its featured on TV as a ringtone and ... that ... voice. x_____x; If I had the CD, I could tell you it's proper name.

Hopefully someone has seen this said commerical I speak of. :/

I forgot to put the band's name:

[saccage.livejournal.com]

Disturbed.

and I think the song is "Guarded"

(( LJ needs an EDIT POST feature, badly. :/ ))

[estellye.livejournal.com]

Fun! I think for your soundtrack I will pick "Moon" by Rusted Root

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh, cool choice! Thanks so much.

[serpentcoils.livejournal.com]

t.a.t.u. - all about us. :) this is from their new album and i've been listening to it when i run. so catchy, like all their songs. also, it reminds me of the marauders. X)

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Oh wow - that's great! I love the beat. The chorus really grows on you, doesn't it? Thank you SO much for sharing!
