I guess this could be considered a game, of sorts, but F&G a.)terrifies me because everything leads to sex and b.)moves way too fast for me to keep up with on a day-to-day.

So, I'll start by posting a video of a song (with lyrics, even!), hopefully, next person who responds will post a video link to a song that my song reminds them of by some association (artist, words, genre, sound, memory, etc.) The goal is that we all get to experience different music and kind of get a feel for what other people listen to.. and this is way easier (and more interesting) than posting random links to music.

And secretly, my ulterior motive is to discover new music.

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I&list=RDMMghb6eDopW8I

Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as I sleep,
It's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can't even trust myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey! Hey! Hey!
There's an old voice in my head
That's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will all be over, and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don't know if I am wrong or right.
Your mind is playing tricks on you my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
You're gone, gone, gone away,
I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
there's nothing we can do,
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
this ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

I happen to like AiH, so the association is the group; different song:

Architecture in Helsinki - The Owls Go:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQL9JaVl7ns

Don't hide the treasures you've found in a hole in the ground,
How 'bout the tree back your house where the owls go,
Or in between the attic and the basement somewhere where it's not dark,
Dark, dark, dark. Attic in a basement with a knife serrated I'll protect you.
Don't hide the pleasures you've found in your rolling around
Where all the leaves have been swept and the flowers grow.
And don't go finding a replacement I promise I'll show heart heart heart heart.
Finding a replacement with a heart sedated I'll forget you.
And you won't make a sound or be nervous around piles of pictures
So old that it feels like it is ending.
It's not too late now to change your mind.
The grass gets greener when you get to the finish line,
An attic in a basement, An attic in a basement, An attic in a basement,
An attic in a basement, An attic in a basement, An attic in a basement.
And you won't make a sound or be nervous around
Piles of pictures so old that it feels like it is ending, it shouldn't feel like it is ending.

This song (Little Talks) reminds me of my cousins funeral (not in a bad way), my aunt kept playing it.

I was obsessed with this song at the time and still adore it and her
https://youtu.be/5_GED2JgVV0

In my bones I feel a chill more than ever before
Winters followed me back home, it's waiting at my door

They say any day now it will come the snow will begin to fall
I will hide here and wait for nature. to come down and erase it all

I hid the mess in the woods where no one should ever find
They'll be searching for the answer that's only in my mind

I saw your shadow moving faster, closer to my life
But you deserved it so don't try to. haunt me every day and night

When I saw you hurting me in a prophecy
It had to come down to me or you so
Honestly. wudya think I'd do

I feel the guilt in my soul more than ever before
My conscience followed me back home it's waiting at my door

I grew tired of playing the victim fed up with all the hurt
So how come when I switch roles... I can't find a part that works

When I saw you hurting me in a prophecy
It had to come down to me or you so
Honestly. wudya think I'd do

The snow has melted and turned to ice til everything is clear
Try to keep hiding but I keep sliding crashing into fears

People like you get what they want or so I always thought
But I tried it and I despise it... waiting til the day I'm cought

It had to come down to me or you so
Honestly. wudya think I'd do

Now my post reminds me of Kandle's new song...here you go...its awesome

https://youtu.be/XB4uUI1RDoQ

Don't agree totally with the transcript of lyrics, but whatever

Ain't got no home
Up on the road
Where will I go
When I grow old
And does my soul
Have what it takes
To be alone
When my body breaks

Good lord
What have I done
I spent my whole life running

From everyone I was raised
In many towns
I never stayed long enough for them
To want me around
I'm not brave
I'm just afraid
I let my worries wear me out
Back to my grave

Ain't got no home
Up on the road
And does my soul
Have what it takes
To be alone
When my body breaks

These days
I cannot sleep

" ????"found someone I know
Found someone I know
I want to keep, here I am
Chasing the sun
Do you think he will wait
Until I'm done

Ain't got no home
Up on the road
Where will I go
When I grow old
And does my soul
Have what it takes
To be alone
When my body breaks

I was raised all alone
Raised all alone

No one ever told me what we were running from

Raised all alone
Raised all alone
No one ever told me what we were running from
We were running from
We were running from

Ain't got no home
Up on the road
Where will I go
When I grow old
Back to my grave

Never heard "back to my grave" personally

This is proving difficult for me. Female crooners are not my specialty. Saw her at a festival...

(Thanks for the tune, Vikka. Listened to it a few times over... it moved me.)

Reminds me of Kate https://youtu.be/YstMxTcxRPs
Love and Anger
Kate Bush
It lay buried here, it lay deep inside me
It's so deep I don't think that I can speak about it
It could take me all of my life
But it would only take a moment to

Tell you what I'm feeling
But I don't know if I'm ready yet
You come walking into this room
Like you're walking into my arms
What would I do without you?

Take away the love and the anger
And a little piece of hope holding us together
Looking for a moment that'll never happen
Living in the gap between past and future
Take away the stone and the timber
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together

If you can't tell your sister
If you can't tell a priest
'Cause it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
To anyone
And you tell it to your heart?
Can you find it in your heart

To let go of these feelings
Like a bell to a Southerly wind?
We could be like two strings beating
Speaking in sympathy
What would we do without you?

Two strings speak in sympathy

Take away the love and the anger
And a little piece of hope holding us together
Looking for a moment that'll never happen
Living in the gap between past and future
Take away the stone and the timber
And a little piece of rope won't hold it together
We're building a house of the future together
(What would we do without you?)

Well, if it's so deep you don't think that you can speak about it
Just remember to reach out and touch the past and the future
Well, if it's so deep you don't think you can speak about it
Don't ever think that you can't change the past and the future

You might not, not think so now
But just you wait and see, someone will come to help you

You want, you take
You need and you receive
I can't follow my bliss
Can't go on, can't go on
Always feeling like this now

So, my love
There's a postcard that I'll send

It's from the ocean, it's from the ocean
The ocean at the end

I can't blame this game
All my cards have been dealt
I'm trumped, I've been tamed
And lately now, lately now
I don't even feel like myself

So, my love
There's a postcard that I'll send

It's from the ocean, it's from the ocean
The ocean at the end

Lately now I don't feel like myself

So, my love
There's a postcard that I'll send

It's from the ocean, it's from the ocean
It's from the ocean, it's from the ocean

See those starlit skies, I'm so alone
I hear those angels cry, please take me home
See those starlit skies, fly so alone
'Cause I, I remember, please take me home
Take me home
Please take me home

Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea -> The Space Between
https://youtu.be/uiVav5nBmOE

I didn't know what you were going through
I thought that you were fine
Why did you have to hide?
I didn't want to let you down
But the truth is out
It's tearing me apart, not listening to my heart

I really had to go
And I would never stop you
Even though it changed
Nothing has to change

And you can find me in the space between

I feel like Dave Matthews was influenced by Colin Hay.

End of The Ocean -> Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea
https://youtu.be/xfaHZXWV0g8

I'm coming up for air
Come and share my last breath
Save it for a time when I'm here no more
We're diving in the deep end
We can't turn back again
The battle never ends but you won the war

Oh, you'll find me, between
The devil and the deep blue sea
And I'm going under
Oh, you'll find me, between
The devil and the deep blue sea
And I'm going under

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2pSFd-K4uU

Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Drank further away from the shore
And deeper into the drink
Sat on the bottom of the ocean,
A stern and stubborn rock
'Cause your songs remind me of swimming,
But somehow I forgot
I was sinking, but now I'm sunk
And I was drinking, and now I'm drunk
Your songs remind me of swimming
But somehow I forgot
I tried to remember the chorus
I can't remember the verse
Cause that song that sent me swimming
Is now the life jacket that burst
Rotting like a wreck on the ocean floor
Sinking like a siren that can't swim anymore
Your songs remind me of swimming
But I can't swim any more
Pull me out the water, cold and blue
I open my eyes and I see that it's you
So I dive straight back in the ocean
So I dive straight back in the ocean
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
Take a deep breath, suck the water in my chest
And cross my fingers, and hope for the best
Then all of a sudden, I heard a note
It started in my chest and ended in my throat
Then I realized, then I realized, then I realized
I was swimming, yes, I was swimming
And now I'm swimming, yes, I am swimming
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
Oh, your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started
Your songs remind me of swimming
Which I forgot when I started to sink
