I'm home for the weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday. We had a big party and open house, and it went well. My aunt and grandma threw a very good party, and now I get to reap the benefits of taking leftovers back with me. :-)

Emily did this activity, and I decided to do it as well. I often get comments about my weird collection of music, and I am curious to see if anyone recognizes any of the songs. :-) I have excluded the classical and foreign language music. :-) I am putting my ipod on shuffle, and I will write at least the first line of a song and you please identify the title and artist. If it is a common song, the artist may vary. So, here goes.

1. Lord I wish I could praise you with adequate words, but you leave me speechless.

2. Slow down, you move too fast, you've got to make the morning last. 59th Bridge Street Song (Feelin' Groovy) Simon and Garfunkle

6. I hear the drizzle on the road, like the memory it falls. For Emily, Wherever I May Find Her, Simon and Garfunkle

13. Oh what a parish, a terrible parish, oh what a parish is that of Dunkeld.

14. This is me, for forever, one of the lost ones.

15. Bleeding in the darkness, the cell was cold and black, driven to unconsciousness by the stripes upon his back. I Will Praise the Lord, (not sure of artist, mime song)

16. Fire and lightning from heaven fall.

17. A mile from Glencagen (sp?) on the road to the sea, stands a yew tree a thousand years old.

18. You girls and you brothers, you won't reach where we're going. No intimidation than to show that you care.

29. I'm walkin', I'm talkin' about you and me, I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me.

30. In the early morning rain, with a dollar in my hand.

I didn't want to stop at 25, so I did an even 30. Some artists' albums come up a lot. And I skipped a lot of classical, instrumental, and non-English language. Also, I don't necessarily listen to all of these songs often, but they're in my library. Give what info you can. Have fun!

So, yes, the songs didn't shuffle real well. Notice the plethora of Veggie Tales songs. :-) There are actually a good amount of recognizable songs. Not as many obscure ones as I thought there would be. Keep guessing. :-) I'm filling in the info as they are guessed, so you know which one are left.
