Name That Tune Meme

This is one of those things that you just have to ask yourself, "Do I really want to waste my time doing this?" And I guess my answer is "Why not?". It's past ten, I drained all of my energy at dance class (ooh, that sounds so cool to say!), and we're watching (technically I'm partially listening to) recorded American Idol, but no one I've seen really excites me (and just for the sake of adding another paranthetical comment, I missed the beginning, so maybe one of those contestants did good--I came home during Jorge). Hey, there's someone that I like on now--Alexis. I hope she does good. . . (After performance)Hmmm, one of these days maybe she'll pick a song that I like.

Speaking of songs (what a great, unplanned segue) , I found this very fun meme where you (all five or so of you) get to figure out what some songs on my "music player" are. Here's the details:

Step 1: Put your music player on shuffle.
Step 2: Post the first line from the 1st 25 songs no matter how embarrassing
Step 3: Strike through once someone guesses both the artist and the track correctly.
Step 4: For those who are guessing, looking up the lyrics is CHEATING.
Step 5: If you like the game post your own. (Come on, don't let me be the only one using her time unwisely!)

So here goes:

1. It's never easy and you never know, what leaves you crying and what makes you whole.
2. Find a way to my heart, and I will always be with you. (Love, love, love this song!) (Lorena)
3. She's got you wrapped up in her satin and lace, tied around her little finger. (Oh, my!) (Sara)
4. Love is a stranger in an open car, to tempt you in and drive you far away. (Lorena)
5. We go waiting for the stars to come showering down, from Moscow to Mars, universe falling down. (I'm dancing in my computer chair now--this one gives me an adrenaline rush.)
6. Lay a whisper on my pillow, leave the winter on the ground. (Now I need Kleenex.)(Lara)
7. I should warn you things you're feeling aren't normal now.
8. We'll do it all, everything, on our own. We don't need anything, or anyone.(Scouts honor--I am doing this randomly out of over a thousand songs) (Lara)
9. I've been trying for so long, to let you know, let you know how I feel. (This one has the swaying effect, but maybe only because it's past my bedtime.)
10. I just died in your arms tonight. (A no-brainer, and oh, so romantic?)(Lara)
11. I've been driving for an hour, just talking to the rain. You say I've been driving you crazy, and it's keeping you away.
12. All is quiet on New Year's Day. A world in white gets underway. (Lara)
13. In the days when we were singing from the trees, I was a monkey stealing honey from a swarm of bees. (Don't you remember those days?)
14. I find a map and draw a straight line over rivers, farms and state lines.
15. Where is love? Does it fall from skies above? (Lara)
16. I hear you had a good offer down on Third Avenue. You tell me that was the reason for what you're gonna do. (Big song from my childhood. I still don't know what the "offer" was)
17. You don't like the sound of the truth coming from my mouth. You say that I lack the proof, well baby that might be so. (This is a knee-slapping sort of song, but I bet that doesn't help.)
18. Don't you want to go for a ride, just keep you hands inside, and make the most out of life--now don't you take it for granted.
19. Something in the moonlight catches my eye, the shadow of a lover goes dancing by. (This is one of my faves of all time, if you know this one you will be my BFF.)
20. That's great it starts with an earthquake, birds and snakes, an aeroplane... (Lara)
21. When it started we had high hopes. Now my back's on the line, my backs on the ropes.
22. I don't want you to hold me tight, until your mine to hold. And I don't even want you to stay all night, just until the moon turns cold. (One of my earlier memories of playing a song over and over and over again--if anyone knows this without looking it up, I will pay of your mortgage.)
23. I think I'm gonna be sad--I think it's today, yeah. The girl that's driving me mad is going away, yeah. (Lara)
24. Haven't seen you in quite a while, I was down the hole just passing time. Last time we met was a low-lit room, we were as close together as a bride and groom.
25. Just because I'm losing, doesn't mean I'm lost. Doesn't mean I'll stop. Doesn't mean I will cross.

Okay, so there it is. It took me much longer than I thought it would, partly because I have five or six audio books on my player that shuffle through too, and partly because some songs I wanted to listen to more of.

If you know any, leave a comment, and I'll start crossing off!!

#9 - don't know the artist, but isn't it called "I Died Your Arms Tonight"?
#12 - U2, "New Year's Day"?
#20 - REM - "The End of the World"
#23 - I know this! It's on the tip of my brain! I'll have to think about it and get back to you...
