Song Burst

[Hawkbit]

The point of Song Burst is to test your singing skills!  

Well, not really!  But close!  You post two lines of lyrics in a song, and the person guessing needs to state the song and singer.  IF by chance you post lyrics to a song that has been covered by more than one artist  (e.g. "Bright Eyes" has been covered by Stephen Gately, Art Garfunkel, Joseph McManners, etc.) as long as the cover artist can be verified, it is acceptable, even if it isn't whom the original poster thought of.


Let's give it a try...and don't mind my singing!  


"All the promises our teachers gave, if we work hard, if we behave."

[Myrkin]

Billy Joel - "Allentown"?

[Hawkbit]

^ Took a month for someone to figure that out.  Yes, that is the song.

[Myrkin]

I guess it is my turn then.

"To the soldier, the civillian, The martyr, the victim. This is war."

[Hawkbit]

Oh man, I thought I had it....on the Newsies soundtrack, there is a song called "Once and For All" and I thought that was the line.  Its not it, but very close.  I could google the line and cheat, but I don't think that's necessarily fair.

[Myrkin]

This is not a game with winners or losers, so I think you can use google if necessary.

30 Seconds to Mars - This is War  (never heard of it)

[Myrkin]

Correct. Nice piece of music, I dare to say.

[Hawkbit]

"Although you see the world different than me.  Sometimes I can touch upon the wonders that you see."

[Zenoah]

Child of Mine by Carole King

[Hawkbit]

That would be the singer and the song.  Your turn.

[Hawkbit]

No clue where Zen has gotten.  I'll post another.

"Little child, be not afraid.  The thunder explodes and lightning flash illuminates your tear-strained face...."

[Owsla-rah]

Lullabye For A Stormy Night by Vienna Teng.

[Hawkbit]

That would be the song.  Your turn.

[Owsla-rah]

"If you come to visit, you'll be bored to tears, We haven't even paid the phone bill in 300 years"
