Guess the Song.

[BarraMarra]

Thought I'd start a fun Music thread. Think of a few lines from a well known song and not something obscure members try to think of the song and the title.

I will start off with this.  " And when your Cold and Tired its nice to warm your bones beside the Fire ".

[CharlieH]

A cryptic clue, what you might receive on a postcard from someones holidays.

My immediate thought too.

Breathe is slightly different to what was quoted in the OP.

That was too easy ... try this ...

 

"No one likes us
I don't know why
We may not be perfect
But heaven knows we try
But all around
Even our old friends put us down
Let's drop the big one
And see what happens"

[degrub]

Have to forbid use of search…….. otherwise no challenge 🤔

[gamb00ler]

I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you

 

I had to do a search to find the lyrics as it is quite an old song (45-55 years).  During the search I can across an interview with the co-creator of the song and was surprised by his explanation of the song creation.  I'll post a link to that after the dust settles.

Straight out of junior high - American Woman

here’s another

 

”

Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me

But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose

”

Heres one...

 

I would  have liked you to have been deep frozen too.

 and waiting, still as fresh in the flesh for my return to earth.

but your father refused to sign the forms to freeze you...

 

 Lets see, you'd be about sixty now. And long dead by the time that I return to earth...

QUESTION, Moody Blues.

Time will not wait for me, time is my destiny

Why change the part of me that wants to be free.

Great thread 👍

 

one of my all-time favourite song verses/lines

 

never wait, or hesitate.   Get in kid before it's too late - You may never get another chance.

Cos youth's a mask, but it don't last. Live it long and live it fast 

[G Rex]

and another one...

 

Shadows grow so long before my eyes

And they're moving across the page

Suddenly trhe day turns into night..

I think you may be missing the thread title its meant to be massive hits and well known songs. Such as " We skipped the Lights fandango turned some cartwheels across the floor.

I paid the price with solitude,

but at least I'm outta debt.

 

Sorry, maybe too obscure even though it's from a very well known artist.

No, it's a Bob Dylan song called Dirge.

[BarraMarra]

The idea giddyup is to guess a familiar hit not a favorite.

Dam this thread would have been fun if it had been a quiz or something similar!!!

[BarraMarra]

I dont know how to set up a quiz on here or i would of so this is the best option at the moment. If how ever we could have a proper format for a music quiz im sure it would be well used with a leader board for fun.
