I was tagged by the lovely Anne @ Inked Brownies to list 12 (of my 70) songs on my phone.
Here are the rules:
#1 List the first 10 12 songs that come on shuffle (no skipsies)
#2 Then write your favorite lyric (or verse) from that song *if it’s worth to mention*
#3 Tag others
(I added links to Youtube videos with the song titles)
* * *
I had no idea but now that I took a good look at my playlist I realise that I’m a big fan of movie music. I have Back in Time (Men In Black), In The Air Tonight (Miami Vice), It is You (Shrek) and a few others.
I’d say my taste is mostly pop/commercial music, and I like upbeat party music too. I have a thing for repetitive lines and a returning beat. Don’t be mistaken because I love Latin music too (Bailar by Deorro is also on my phone but with only two of those songs they were not chosen) and I even have a few Dutch songs and a French song in my listing, plus a few slows (Something Stupid by Robbie Williams).
But here are the selected songs:
#1
Well if you told me you were drowning, I would not lend a hand
I’ve seen your face before my friend, but I don’t know if you know who I am
Well I was there and I saw what you did, I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been
It’s all been a pack of lies
#2
#3
Take a trip in the air
To a tropical beach
On an island to reach
A new territory
For an intimate story
A lagoon “par la mer”
It’s a foreign affair
#4
Meet Me Halfway – Black Eyed Peas
#5
Hate It or Love It – The Game, 50 Cent
Hate it or love it the underdog’s on top
And I’m gonna shine homie until my heart stop
#6
Right from the start
You were a thief
You stole my heart
And I your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me
That weren’t all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
#7
When I’m Gone – Anna Kendrick (the cups song)
#8
Just Can’t Get Enough – Depeche Mode
#9
The Blower’s Daughter – Damien Rice
And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
most of the time
And so it is the shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her sky
#10
#11
One of my absolute favourite songs !
I’ve become so numb, I can’t feel you there
Become so tired, so much more aware
By becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
#12
James Brown is Dead – L.A. Style

So there you go, I think this gives a good idea about my taste in music. Maybe a bit boring or too commercial for some, but this is ‘all of me’ (yep John Legend too).
I invite the following bloggers to do this tag because I’d really love to know their taste in music but feel free to ignore if you don’t feel like doing it:
- Danielle @ Books, Vertigo and Tea
- Amanda @ hangingwithamanda
- Emma @ afterbutterflyrain
- Chrissie @ Bloggin’ and Writing
- Megan @ BookslayerReads
Interesting tunes you got there 🙂
I used to, years and years ago, love Linkin Park but got rather disappointed by their newer stuff…

It’s the only song I have of them 🙂 because I like the lyrics so much. I have sung those lyrics so many times!I always love ‘songs’ but I don’t have a whole album or anything from any artist.

Ha, interesting… I’m a huge music fan but if you asked me some of my fav bands’ member names I wouldn’t know how to answer cause band’s personal details are irrelevant to me…
The Linkin Park album Numb is off of, is their best album actually, well, for me 😀

I like seeing all of the different tastes in music. Thanks for the tag! This looks fun.
I have not heard Nonpoint or LP in a while. The rest of these I am familiar with but normally do not listen to 😉
Hopefully I can remember to get to this soon. I usually hace a folder to save them in, but not on my silly phone 😂

Fantastic Inge!! I love every single one of these songs :D. I’ve just been listening to an L.A. Style playlist on YouTube and was surprised I could still sing and rap along :’). And then there was the counter song to it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zYN-K6aesE. Which wasn’t as good as the original one if ya ask me. And https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOqo3CQeVsU of course. Party like it’s 1992 \õ/. So there weren’t any inspiring lyrics from the Pitbull song were there? 😉
Again, loved this!! 🙂 Thank you for taking up the tag!

I have to admit, it was an ‘easy’ and fun tag. I didn’t know there was a James Brown is alive, haha! I believe it was party like it’s 1999. I might not know anything about today’s top 5 but I know all the classics and can belt them out like a pro 😉

Praise for Nothing Else Matters.😀 Linkin Park are or at least were Nu-Metal and Nonpoint are definitely a Nu-Metal band even though they covered that Phil Collins song.😀

Drew I love you even more now. I might be pushing it but one of my all fav songs that fits me like a hand in a glove is Behind Blue Eyes from Limpbizkit (because duh I have blue eyes and always feel that it’s about me). Is that nu-Metal too, and approved by the big Drewmeister?

Well Limp Bizkit are Nu-Metal, I’m not a big fan of them as such but a few of their songs including that one are OK.😀
