I think it would be fun if we played a little "name that tune" sort of a game. Ill post a line from one of LM's songs and whoever knows the name of the song should post the answer along with a new line for someone to guess. Let's see if anyone wants to give it a try... (I'm bored at work, haha)

Ill start with an easy one:

"Standing on the bridge that crosses The river that goes out to the sea The wind is full of a thousand voices They pass by the bridge and me"

I went hunting Wink and stumbled across the song "Searching for Lambs":
2nd verse: What makes you rise so soon, my dear,
Your journey to pursue?
Your pretty little feet they tread so neat,
Strike off the morning dew.

What about these words:
A soul can hear

That's from Skellig:

"Oh light the candle John
The daylight has almost gone
The birds have sung their last
The bells call all to mass"

That'd be The Dark Night of the Soul, as Lizjul guessed, but ALSO Penelope's Song

The closing line of Let Us the Infant Greet!

...yes everyone, I'm still alive! Uni's been very busy...

Next line (hint: you will need to go YouTube hunting!):
"What makes you rise so soon, my dear
Your journey to pursue?"

Hi Loreenya,

I have never played this game before but it sounds like a lot of fun. Is the song The Dark Night of The Soul?

I have one. But I think it might be an easy one: And He will give us our wages due, A crown of purest gold. Smiler

Guess you need "breaking" a hint... Wink


All I can think of is a strange mash-up of The Bonny Swans and The Wind that Shakes the Barley:

"I sat within a valley green
hey-ho, and a bonny oh
my heart it stove to choose between
the swans swim so bonny oh"

...yeah that's totally wrong...


Quite right Jesse! You're totally wrong! But love you still though Big Grin

Ramona and Semaspa, you are right Smiler

(Sorry, but have no suggestion yet to Semaspa's line... Frowner )

I believe the answer is BREAKING THE SILENCE from PARALLEL DREAMS, a great song, Loreena is a genius.

Next: into the forest


That's another one from Parallel Dreams! "And if I heard the owl's cry, into the forest I would fly" from Samain Night.
New quote: "gone the birds". Good luck!

Hi Jesse,

The line "army from the west" comes from the song "On A Bright May Morning", I guess.

"And I wish the Queen would call home her army From the West Indies, Amerikay and Spain"


So here's the next one:

so far away the night
