Shamelessly snagged from undoreverse: thank you. ^^

Song Number 1: La Cabane Du Pêcheur by Francis Cabrel
Your favourite lyric from this song: Ummmmm…. "le mélange des couleurs."
Does this song have bad memories attached? No, nothing but good. :)
What genre is this? Chanson francaise? It means 'French song' and seems way too general, but that's the most popular tag. (?)

Song Number 2: You'll Accomp'ny Me by Bob Seger
What's the last line of this song? "You'll accompany me." Suprising, no?
Have you ever seen this artist live? No. Is he…

This is completely subjective and quite possibly unintelligible - I know nothing at all about music, only what I like.

1. Gordon Lightfoot
There's a reason he's my most played artist. ^^ I love, love, love his voice - it sounds like contentment to me. This guy is why I have such a soft spot for eastern Canadian and north-eastern US accents.

Minstrel of the Dawn - listen here.

2. 예성 (Yesung of Super Junior)
Just to be repetitive, there are lots of reasons why my Super Junior play counts have shot through the stratosphere lately - and a…

I've known of Super Junior for… three weeks, maybe. I've been a fan for two weeks and six days. My play count must have hit the roof by now - past 500 without a doubt, and still soaring (through my mp3 player, which being much cheaper than an iPod doesn't record scrobbles, Mum's computer, my iTunes with the scrobble thing turned off… :P). Before them, pop music to me was the blandest of genres - but now, I remember why I used to like it. It's so much fun! So much fun!!!

Now, to set the scene. It was a…

Every so often, I have something to do and I don't want to do it. Have run out of tv shows to watch, don't want to leave computer to read, so my option for procrastinating: this! Yay. :-)

1. What's your favorite song by 15?
Jason Mraz - First off, The Remedy (I Won't Worry) (I remember loving it as a kid), but recently I'm Yours because it's so damn sweet. You can't fight that!

2. How did you get into 20?
John Hiatt - either by getting the CD out from the library or through last.fm, I forget which.…

The Ultimate Music Survey

Tadaa! Motivation: too much study, both already done and still to do. *headdesk*

Let’s start with the good stuff.

What is your favorite genre of music?
Okay. I'm consciously squashing the 'impossible question' response… What about 'singer-songwriter'? Yes?

Why?
Because it's open enough (but accurate if you go by last.fm tags), and because I love the idea of music as self-expression.

Name your favorite band(s).
Runrig, because of my dad. Lots of power and positivity, lots of guitar, and just a little bit of almost-preachy social commentary. All good stuff. :-)

What is your favorite…

… because I'm procrastinating (if I don't start packing, they won't make me leave!), and because switching the brain off sometimes can't be too bad a thing.

1. What are you listening to right now?

Status Quo - In the Army Now

2. What song makes you sad?

The brass band version of 'Concierto de Aranjuez', because it was played at my grandfather's funeral. I remember my English teacher playing this for me once at school, and it hit right to my heart… He was a generous, strong and inspiring man, and I can't think of another song that could…

You have to love the form-filling aspects of these things: a brilliant way to eat up time while listening!

1. How did you get into 29? (Johnny Cash)
Mum and Dad. Blame them. ^^

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22? (Harry Gregson-Williams)
The Battle - it's part of the soundtrack to Narnia, and showed up out of the blue in my library. I quite like it.

3. How many albums by 13 do you own? (Frank Sinatra)
None, unfortunately.

4. What is your favourite song by 15? (Lenny…

You know the drill, iTunes on shuffle, each song answers the question, no cheating.

Opening Credits: Small Town - John Mellencamp
Well, yes. Spent my first years of life on a farm in a beautiful part of NZ. :)

Waking Up: Not Only Human - Heather Nova
Awh! That almost sentimentally fits.
