And, @Cynder, I loved your game! Song lyrics are very important for me as well. I have a suggestion for another game, if you'd be interested: I, particularly, have the habit of collecting links between songs, even though they don't have real connections. But noticing a line in a song that answers perfectly a line in another song, or the feeling in general.
Like, the other day, a colleague send me Black - Pearl Jam:
"All the pictures have, all been washed in black,
tattooed everything...
All the love gone bad
Turned my world to black
Tattooed all I see, all that I am and all that I'll be... yeah..."
And I immediately remembered a song by Adam Levine (from Maroon 5) - Lost Stars, that goes like this:
"Don't you dare
Let our best memories bring you sorrow
Yesterday, I saw a lion kiss a deer
Turn the page
Maybe we'll find a brand new ending
When we're dancing in our tears"
So the idea for the game would be something like the above. Someone would post a piece of a lyric and someone else would post another piece of another song lyrics that sounds like a real reply. I understand if you're not interested, it's just a suggestion!
"Stay golden
Stay broken
Miserably happy in the lives we've chosen."
- Paradise Fears, Back to Life
Pretty much my life in a nutshell. Also, Outsiders reference. How could I not.
Are you serious?! Aaaaaa, YES! They're songs are so good!
I'm glad you liked my idea! I like to connect music with other things too, movies, series, books. It kind of adds meaning to everything, I think.
Explaining a little bit better about the idea, it could be something as simple as this:
Person 1 posts What's Up - 4 Non Blondes:
"And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's going on?"
Person 2 posts Torn - Natalie Imbruglia/Ednaswap:
"There's nothing where he used to lie
My inspiration has run dry
That's what's goin' on
Nothing's right I'm torn"
And so on... Or something like that connection I posted on my previous comment between Pearl Jam's song and Adam Levine's. According to a quora user, the Pearl Jam song: "[...] is about how someone was everything to another at some point of time, but now it`s just faded memories and painful dreams. How they both gave all that they had in this, but now it doesn`t even matter as it`s all over." So as the person's memories have gone bad, "tattooing everything", making him think about that everywhere he looked and feel sad, I thought about Lost Stars' "Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow". Does that make sense?
And I apologize for flooding your thread. Yes, I did like your game! It's always very nice to get to know different musics with good lyrics and this is a nice way to do so.
Sanctuary, Back to Life, and Battle Scars are personal favorites. I just really enjoy hopeful sounding songs.
I think I sort of get it? Kiiind of? I'm a bit slow today because of rain and distraction from homework, so sincerest apologies. Either way, I support this for a forum game. And don't apologize for "flooding my thread", I always welcome the conversation and an opportunity to meet/befriend new people!
There were three men came out of the west, their fortunes for to try
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn must die
They've plowed, they've sown, they've harrowed him in
Threw clods upon his head
And these three men made a solemn vow
John Barleycorn was dead
They've let him lie for a very long time, 'til the rains from heaven did fall
And little Sir John sprung up his head and so amazed them all
They've let him stand 'til midsummer's day 'til he looked both pale and wan
And little Sir John's grown a long long beard and so become a man
They've hired men with their scythes so sharp to cut him off at the knee
They've rolled him and tied him by the way, serving him most barbarously
They've hired men with their sharp pitchforks who've pricked him to the heart
And the loader he has served him worse than that
For he's bound him to the cart
They've wheeled him around and around a field 'til they came onto a pond
And there they made a solemn oath on poor John Barleycorn
They've hired men with their crabtree sticks to cut him skin from bone
And the miller he has served him worse than that
For he's ground him between two stones
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl and his brandy in the glass
And little Sir John and the nut brown bowl proved the strongest man at last
The huntsman he can't hunt the fox nor so loudly to blow his horn
And the tinker he can't mend kettle or pots without a little barleycorn
That's ok, I understand! There's also no need to apologize for that. And I'm glad as I feel the same way. I stumbled upon your thread randomly, but it was a pleasant surprise. Listening right now:
Crosses - José González
"The streets outside your window overflooded
People staring, they know you've been broken"
