Tis another survey! I have energy to fill out a pointless survey! YAY!
Music That...

1. Reminds me of an ex-friend:
Hmm, I’ve never actually associated music with friends before, but I guess “Hiiru no Tsuki” from Outlaw Star sort of makes me think of one person, the only true ex-friend I have.

2. Makes me cry:
“Fields of Gold” by The Police. It’s a beautiful song. If you’ve read my definition of beautiful, you’ll understand.

3. Makes me laugh:
“Clint Eastwood” by the Gorillaz. It’s like having sunshine in a bag.

4. Makes me wanna dance:
"Roxanne” from Moulin Rouge – though my idea of dancing isn’t the party dancing. This would be a great song to choreograph to. One day I shall be inspired to actually come up with something for Dancer’s Symposium.

5. Makes me wan run & jump:
"Shout” by Tears for Fears – it’s just very upbeat, as most of Tears for Fears is. It’s great to listen to them while walking around, makes me feel confident.

6. Reminds me of the one I love:
I don't love.

7. The song I wish I wrote:
“Glycerine” by Bush. Bush has a lot of good songs that I wish I wrote, the more enigmatic the better. It’s all like poetry set to music.

8. The song I want to get married to:
Marriage? Commitment? O_o Er..well, I guess if I actually “love” anyone enough for that, I would like “Pachelbel’s Canon in D major.” I wish I could come up with something more unique, but it does seem very appropriate for the occasion.

9. Reminds me of my teenaged years:
“Crash and Burn” by Savage Garden. Hey, no laughing, I like Savage Garden, I adored them in middle school, like an obsession. I was very depressed all through then and high school and it’s a hopeful song that made me feel better.

10. Song to wake up to:
“Sonne” by Rammstein. Nice and loud, sonorous. And “sonner” in French is “to ring” so it just seems all the more appropriate.

11. From my parents record collection:
“How Deep is Your Love” by the Beegees. I like music that makes me a little sad, and it has a nicer sad tone to it that a lot of disco doesn’t.

12. Song I love that I wouldn't know if not for a friend:
“Never There” by Cake. Thank you, Danny. I don’t think I’d have even heard of Cake had you not been so obsessed last semester.

13. Like the video more than the song:
“Me Against the Music” by Britney Spears. I hate Britney’s voice, I hate her music, I can’t stand her. However, that is about the best dancing I’ve seen on tv in a long while, so there.

14. Makes me think of my first crush:
O my first crush…As I say, I don’t really associate people with music, but I think I could sum up the day I met him in the song, it would be..”Until I Wake Up” by Dishwalla.

15. Makes me think of one of my favourite movies:
I don’t know what the song is called, but I like the trumpet theme from “Castle in the Sky”

16. Reminds me of the sun:
“Fields of Gold” by the Police. I know, I know, it’s a repeat, but it works. The imagery of the lyrics are perfect.

17. Reminds me of the stars:
“Tonight, tonight” by the Smashing Pumpkins.

18. Reminds me of the moon:
“Caribbean Blue” by Enya. The sound quality just makes me think of darkness and the moon shining on an ocean.

19. Reminds me of sex:
“Stitches” by Orgy. Kinky, very kinky. And Jay Gordon is hot, and he says “F***ing.”

20. Reminds me of being alone:
“Candleburn” by Dishwalla. I’ve been listening to Dishwalla a lot. The lyrics mention a shrine where candles burn, and Vineland, and my mind connects it to what Tyler Durden says in Fight Club – “In the world I see – you are stalking elk through the damp canyon forest around the ruins of Rockefeller Center. You wear leather clothes that will last you the rest of your life. You’ll climb the wrist-thick kudzu vines that wrap the Sears Tower. And when you look down, you’ll see tiny figures pounding corn, laying strips of venison on the empty car pool lane of some abandoned superhighway.” That was the best scene in the movie and one day, I’ll read the book.

21. Reminds me of my family:
“I’m Only Happy When It Rains” by Garbage. We’re a negative family, yes we are.

22. Reminds me of home:
“The Long and Winding Road” by the Beatles. I associate home with the way I approach it, which for many years was walking down the street from the high school, enjoying the sun shining on the trees that were all along the road.

23. Song that I wouldn't mind being played in my head for the rest of my life:
I don’t think I like any song that much, but I’ve listened to Bruch’s first violin concerto enough to know that I still enjoy it after 5 years, so I suppose that will do.

24. Makes me feel really badass:
“Battle Without Honor or Humanity” from the Kill Bill Soundtrack. Very badass feeling.
