I know, I'm late, but I was getting distracted, so here we go finally...

Tagged from [livejournal.com profile] evil_trisha and I aim to please, but I have to confess, that I would have answered most questions with Ani DiFranco lyrics or David Usher and then the first initial reaction were mostly German lyrics, so I did include these here and old and silly ones at that matter, so I guess, you really have a emotional connection to your native tongue and your teen years.

Fill in your answers using only lines from songs.

1) Are you male or female?
I could be your sister, I could be your mother
We could be friends, I'd even be your brother
But I'd rather be your lover

(Madonna - Rather be your lover)

or

Komm doch mal rüber, Mann und setzt dich zu mir hin,
keine Widerrede, Mann, weil ich ja sowieso gewinn,
weil ich ein Mädchen bin.

(Lucilelectric - Weil ich ein Mädchen bin)


2) Describe your neighbourhood
Throw your hands in the air,
if you wanna get down,
zu dem Sound von New York bis Benztown, Baby.

(Michi Beck - Weltweit)

or

Von meiner Süßen aus'm Süden, mit dem Dialekt ~
Ich mag deinen Anblick und dass du viele Sprachen sprichst,
Lieb, dass du sowohl High Class als auch Straße bist.

(Max Herre - Erste Liebe ~ Die Liebeserklärung an Stuttgart)


3) Describe your personality
I am not a pretty girl that is not what I do.
I ain't no damsel in distress and I don't need to be rescued.
So put me down punk - wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair?
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere?

(Ani DiFranco - Not a pretty girl)

or

Ich glaube nicht an Lebensregeln,
denn das hab ich hinter mir.
Ich glaube absolut an gar nichts,
denn ich lebe Jetzt und Hier
und deshalb lauf, Hase lauf,
doch weil du verpennst,
dass du vorbei an offnen Türn gegen Wände rennst,
hast du den Brei in deinem Kopf
auch nur dir selber zuzuschreiben.
Manche Abdrücke sind Eindrücke die bleiben.

(Thomas D. - Die Welt ist Eins)


4) How do you look like?
Well I am pretending to be a free-bouncing lover.
I wear my defensive mask of optimism like a badge.
And ultimately. I am much to lazy to change.
I'm rather conditioned to my life of melodrama.

(Bif Naked - That's life)

or

Ich denk' zuviel an übermorgen, denk' zuviel an mich.
Hab' mir den Blick verstellt, auf jetzt und hier und dich
und was machst du?
Du blitzt mich an mit deinen Funkelperlenaugen,
das tut so gut, da ist so viel für mich drin.

(Pur - Funkelperlenaugen; yeah, ich wäre auch lieber mit einem sexy, sassy Text gegangen, aber meine Schwester sagt und diverse Freundinnen haben ihr zugestimmt, dass der Song perfekt meine Reaktion beschreibt, wenn sie sich bei mir ausheulen und mal wieder selbst im Weg stehen, aus einem kleinen, alltäglichen Eklat ein Weltuntergangsdrama machen und deshalb beschreibt er meinen 'Look' perfekt... *zuckt etwas ratlos die Schultern* Ich denke, man muss bei dem Gespräch unter Tequila-Einfluß dabeigewesen sein...)


5) If you could say one thing to the person you love, what would it be?
We get a little further from perfection
each year on the road -
I guess that's what they call character.
I guess that's just the way it goes.
Better to be dusty than polished
like some store window mannequin,
why don't you touch me where I'm rusty -
let me stain your hands.

(Ani DiFranco - Imperfectly)

or

Fühl mich bei dir geborgen,
setz mein Herz auf dich,
will jeden Moment genießen -
Dauer ewiglich.
Bei dir ist gut anlehnen,
Glück im Überfluss -
dir willenlos ergeben,
find ich bei dir Trost.

(Herbert Grönemeyer - Halt mich)


6) Where do you wish you were right now?
Down New Mexico way
something about
the open road.

(Tori Amos - A sorta fairytale)

Or

Du spürst die Lebensenergie, die durch dich durchfließt,
das Leben wie noch nie in Harmonie und genießt.
Es gibt nichts zu verbessern, nichts was noch besser wär,
außer dir im Jetzt und Hier und dem Tag am Meer.

(Die Fantastischen Vier - Tag am Meer)


7) What do you think about your best friends?
I've never seen this kind of love -
The kind that won't slip away.
Yes, I'm soaring through your heart,
Don't you know I could not survive
Without you in my life?

(Jann Arden - I would die for you)

Or

Du bist nicht hart im Nehmen,
Du bist beruhigend weich -
dich nicht zu mögen
ist nicht leicht.
Du bist so herrlich schwach,
vertrau' mir und benutz' mich,
wozu sind denn schließlich Freunde da.

(Pur - Freunde)


8) Any words of advice?
Write your problems down in detail,
Take them to a higher place.
You've had your cry - no, I should say wail -
In the meantime hush your face.

(Supertramp - Bloody well right)

or

Sagtest du nicht mal jeder Gedanke zählt
Wenn der Kopf mit dem Herz durch Bewußtsein verbunden ist?
Doch jetzt in deiner Welt, in der das, was dich noch belebt, nur künstlich ist
Jeder Traum, der wertvoll war, dann auf einmal günstig ist.
Treibt jede Emotion tot mit dem Strom?

(Such a Surge- Koma 2002)


9) What do you wish you were doing right now?
So it's up the stairs,
And out of view. No prying eyes.
I poured some wine.

(Bettie Serveet - Lover I don't have to love)


10) What do you think about drugs and alcohol?
I got a flask inside my pocket,
we can share it on the train.
And if you promise to stay conscoius,
I will try and do the same.
Well we might die from medication
but we sure killed all the pain.
But what was normal in the evening
by the morning seems insane.

(Bright Eyes - Lua)


11) If you could say one thing to your enemy what would it be?
Hey, the closer we think we are,
Well, it only got us so far.
Now you got anything left to show?
No, no, I didn't think so.
Hey, the sooner we realize
We cover ourselves with lies,
But underneath we're not so tough,
Oh, love is not enough.

(NIN - Love is not enough)

or

Mich mit alten Zeiten geblendet,
Dein linkes Spiel gespielt -
Endlich nach Deinen Regeln -
Dich wie der König gefühlt.
In deinem Rausch übersehen,
für dich war´s ´ne Nummer zu groß.

(Herbert Grönemeyer - Kein Verlust)


12) What do you usually do on Friday nights?
So what I've got a short attention span,
a coke in my hand,
because i'd rather have the afternoon, relax and understand.

(Jason Mraz - Geek in the Pink)


13) Are you for World Peace?
Yeah, my blood’s so mad feels like coagulatin’,
I’m sitting here just contemplatin’ -
I can’t twist the truth, it knows no regulation.
Handful of senators don’t pass legislation
And marches alone can’t bring integration,
When human respect is disintegratin’ -
This whole crazy world is just too frustratin’.

(Barry McGuire - Eve of Destruction)

or

Ich tanze glühend auf dünnem Eis, dreh mich im Kreis,
Schraub' mich rein um allein zu sein.
Wer zahlt den Preis? - Viel Spaß,
Ihr seht viel besser aus durch meinen Himmel aus Glas.
Meine Helden wollen mich retten, kratzen in Panik an der Oberfläche -
Glaubt ihr nicht, dass es mir gut geht?

(Such a Surge - Unter Null)


14) What do you think about your school?
Oh when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Yeah, I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

(Brian Adams - Summer of '69, not my best days, but I sure as hell had alot of fun in school )


15) How do you feel right now?
And you might just be a shiny thing,
but you are the shiny thing I am pursuing.
And when I said "you talk too much"
it was cause there was stuff I’d rather you’d have been doing.

(Alix Olson - Checking my pulse, staring at my boyfriend and thinking about how uninterested I am in his latest computer purchase...)


16) Any closing words?
And it takes no time to fall in love,
but it takes you years to know what love is.
And it takes some fears to make you trust,
it takes those tears to make it rust,
it takes some dust to make it polished.

(Jason Mraz - Life is wonderful)


Upload 5 songs from your current playlist, which you think your friends should hear. Pass it on to 5 people on your flist.

1. Jason Mraz - Did you get my message?
2. Papa Roach - Tightrope
3. Bettie Serveert - Lover I Don't Have To Love, because I love this version so much more, than the Bright Eyes one.
4. Bif Naked - That's life
5. Such a Surge - Koma 2002, I loved the first version on their album 'Was Besonderes' so much, but the second one was even better and captured the changes in thinking perfectly during these years in between, less aggressive, less angry, still curious, one of my all time favourite songs.

*heart* thanks a lot :D I'll dl and can't wait.. cos I know you have a great taste in music ;)
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 02:33am on 05/08/2005
*hehe* I wouldn't say that I have a great taste in music, I just know what I like and don't care, if it's not cool... And about Pur, because I feel the need to explain: Their home town is 20 minutes away and I loved them when I was a child and some things never go away, I was surprised that I could quote so many songs, even when I didn't listen to their music in the last ten years.

And I hope you enjoy the songs, I surely loved yours and Charmax' collection...

hey, it was you who introduced me to such cool bands as "Poe", "Plum" or that woman who sings that "my skin" song.. *lol* forget her name *oops*

no need to explaine *lol* Pur is evil in my eyes, but if you like em.. they can't be that bad ;)
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 02:44am on 05/08/2005
Natalie Merchant - And you didn't know Poe before me? BAAD Trisha! *tsk*

And Pur is too fluffy and conform for my taste nowadays, like I said, I was a child back then, but I should upload my five favourite songs of them, they had some amazing lyrics for an eleven year old... *grin*

It's a huge meme isn't it! It took me most of the evening! lol

I know most of the songs on your playlist apart from 1 and 5. I've downloaded both. It's the first time I've heard of Jason Mraz - I love his voice! Just my thing. Thanks I'll have to get the rest of his album now. :D
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 02:35am on 05/08/2005
Just wait for the YSI-email, kay? And did you liked the fifth even without understanding the words?
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 02:40am on 05/08/2005
ohh your gonna send it? Thanks! :D Yes I enjoyed the fifth too. Though I couldn't understand the lyrics I like the vibe of it, they sound very cool. I have it saved to my desktop so I'm sure to listen to it again.

Yepp, Jason is on his way... *wink*

And cool that you like Koma 2002, Such a Surge is one of my favourite German bands, their style reminds me a bit of Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit sans the mainstream... Or international fame!
 
posted by [identity profile] charmax.livejournal.com at 03:11am on 05/08/2005
Yes I was thinking Linkin Park too! :D Are they quite a new band? I think they could go far.

Looking forward to more Jason he's voice is like velvet. *drool*
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 03:22am on 05/08/2005
Nope, they got together in 1992, I think and they are pretty successful in Germany, even when there was a time, when they hated it around 1999, but they survived the fame and live to tell the tale... So yeah, more old school and etablished!

And still uploading, 86 MB take time even with DSL... *wink*

well well, that was long. i got a bit amused by
"I got a flask inside my pocket,
we can share it on the train.
And if you promise to stay conscoius,
I will try and do the same."
ok, more than a bit. nice lyrics ;)

and i've been tagged! *gasp*
well, i guess i'll just have to take my time with that, i'm sure you'll understand :P
ummm i have an idea, i'll give my LJ partner to fill it! *evil grin* after all, it's his LJ too... unless you meant that i should fill it when you tagged me.

Zohar.

Yeah, the lyrics are amusing, but also true when you're out and about partying your life away for one evening... You don't want to stop drinking even when you had your fair share and the next morning with your poundering headache you wonder, what the hell were I thinking? *grin*

And actually I want you to fill it out, I know it's huge, but I love reading it so far on my friendslist, it really gives you an insight into a person and I want that with you, so pretty please, Zohar? Take all the time you want... *pleading eyes*
 
posted by [identity profile] bunnythenavia.livejournal.com at 07:34am on 05/08/2005
i guess there is truth in the lyrics, i wouldn't know, i'm such a good girl and never partied all night (well, depends how. not with alchohol, anyway).

oh - an insight into a person - i'm not sure i'm ready for this huge step in our relationship! but i will be ready soon enough, probably this afternoon or tomorrow :P (your reply made me giggle out loud).

Zohar.
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 07:56am on 05/08/2005
I never liked drinking till I was 18 or 19, losing control was too scary and watching the drunks too amusing to go down that road myself, so I know, what you mean about partying without alcohol. *makes her voice real deep and wise* But there comes a time in every human life, when you just don't care, nothing to lose, nothing to prove and you enjoy the feel of Tequila...

And I'm sure we're ready for this step in our relationship, I wouldn't have dared you, if I had my doubts! *kiss*

*feels faint* I've been tagged! What to do? What to do?
I'm gonna need time too, I went on a trip, I'm back, and still have yet to unpack, *stares at bag, as if expecting it to unpack itself* lol.

Not like anyone reads my journal anyways. *is boring*
 
posted by [identity profile] astartexx.livejournal.com at 10:28pm on 06/08/2005
I hope your trip was awesome and you had fun? Gonna read it soon enough, eh! And c'mon don't underestimate the power of your entires... You aren't boring in the slightest!

And take all the time you want!

I did, I did, I got my hair braided & I'll try to get pics asap.

Working on the meme.
