Q206 ....may go

well i dunno if the dot dot works here for my guess at the tune i was just listening to earlier - songbook track2...always love the tinkly piano:)

yeah, i thought dot dots had been defined as being at end of sentences rather than lines...i guess it's hard to differentiate the two in poetry...i could be off track or this could be an ambiguous answer

song - it's too late he wins (actually, has jessi jo done so yet?)

lyric - the days may come and the days 'may go' like dreams of love we shared so long ago

i've taken to the listening to actual tracks to rip lyrics when one has a hunch as to the song reference...ok. this is not the same as going my pure memory but as rm can attest to, it's not cheating

gotta love this tune and it's feel...it's similar to putting a message in a bottle and hoping the tide will deliver it to a loved one...or sending a note along with a pigeon and hoping your love received it, and free of poop hopefully...yeah, imo, the tune is right up there with 'always on the bright side' on the obsurity gauge

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
steve's on a real songbook rarities roll, i'm playing a cd i compiled of just the songbook new releases...ok, released some 7 years ago now but still to me as i've played them about 1,000x less than the rest of the GL catalogue

212 - these chains

lyric - remove these chains and set me free

tune - forgive me lord

this one, dedicated to sarah palin ;)

'BIZ':

Clue/Q206- not submitted, but inferred from quoted 'may go' in lyrics..song - it's too late he wins (actually, has jessi jo done so yet?)
lyric - the days may come and the days 'may go' like dreams of love we shared so long ago

In short, JJ, you are correct with a little help in decipherin' some minor requuisite parts... and your Q on dots versus prose/poetry - the dots in the song as I showed in the clue are correct - only in so far as are held datum for the game is... 'Wayne's World' Lightfoot! - the lyrics per Wayne Francis are:
The days may come, the days may go
Like the dreams of love that we shared so long ago - and to answer the specific dot question, for interest's sake - I did long ago define the dots as pertinent to clue word(s) positioning in terms of whole lines of verse, as opposed to what so often ( I agree) appear as two 'sentences' - in one line of verse, which , in this case, the 'verse' line, does in deed end with the appropriate clue words in correct correspondence with the 4 dots as illustrated in the opening clue...in any event - you GOT IT !

CONGRATULATIONS!

Now, lets post your winning clue and Char's in one update to the Big X list.

HERE ARE 10 NEW ONES! All "STUDIO RELEASES = '65 - 2008' ALL RECORDED
- POSTED 4:15 PM SAT. 11/08/08-

NOTE: In response to jj's comment - how he is listening to his old UA period more to stoke, I'd add that, since he seemed unsure, listening to music is absolutely defined in this game as a totally good way to get answers, 'no doubt about it'. Its readin lyrics that is steppin over the informal 'rules' of how we've chosen to have fun in here, thats all. Listen away ! That's how I get clue's ! However - for accuracy QC/QA - I still do check Wayne's Word AFTER I've listend for clues, to check for accuracy - and as Char revealed - it is not always perfect ! Close...

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Hi guys ! Say uhm....is it time ? Are ya gently tellin me I should lay ole'' lyric down to her peace.....out of her pain.....

Seriously, have you guys had your fill ? I notice we havn't had a response in......well it has been only 2 days..oops..lol... thank you Jesse Joe, and Joveski you to as well...... and jj on the 9th.... I'll giver 'er some more oxygen , and see if the ole hangdog comes back to chasin sticks n such lol......

All good things must end too, I only wondered if it was the time in all your guys and gals opinion......

If not....

HEY WE'VE GOT SEVEN GOOD Q's left up there..... :clap: :clap: :headbang: :headbang:

geodeticman.5 11-14-2008 09:31 AM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Hi guys...I forgot to mention - if u didn't see the answer to jj's question (or jj if u did not c it in the pkanes trains etc thread in the middle of one of my longer blabberty posts...the answer to your q) - jj asked roughly how many songs were left to go in lyrics ? I had posted an answer in one of his threads -= and then thought this moring all players might like to know.....

We've had a lot of duplication on songs until I caught that fact around Q100 ! so we definately have not had as many songs as clue....my check on the tabular database puts it at 169 songs successfuly answered, or revealed. This would leave, per Sir John Bt. estimate given to Stone wall studios of 300+/- a few by best estimate of available info of recorded songs only . would leave aprox 131 songs to go. So if yer still havin fun, I'm ready to run 'er...

If you check in and see this post, please drop me a line in here, whoever you are, regular player or not, and could you let me know if you'd like to see the game remain in operation or not. Seems to be kinda down to Joveski, jj, Ron, Jeesse Joe, Char here and there, and then occassionally good to see formerlylavender playing,
Oh,Linda since she's back so far havn't seen her, and a few names that are offf and on semiregulars - I'm forgetting. - Sundreme, SheryKat maybe....anyway we seem to run mostly on around a half dozen regulars. - and a good lot at that to work with :biggrin::headbang:

......2 days is no gauge, but interest does seem down...hard to say....I'm hapy to wait and see posted opinions as to crank 'er up again - Ron I now you been working on your fastball in the UA period..., jj has been getting more sleep since Q154 was put to sleep lol...and 7 remaning Q's await in the present list. So, should we keep her up and runnin, or put her to sleep humanely.....or send her to a zoo street circus in Indonesia to ride a mini bicycle or something...lol..... 'ts up to you guys...

The Big X Saloon awaits with clean glasses, 30 yr old single malt scotch, some of them new-fangled 'lime-barley-pop" flavoured beers..... whats that one David Letterman used to burn all the time / He just liked saying the name.....??/ - ZIMA ! We can stock that if you want. Me, I just want a cold diet pepsi lime , so I can process your replies with a clear head.

geodeticman.5 11-14-2008 09:46 AM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Char I stand corrected on something, Earlier yesterday in the SFAWN York Women's Choir cover vodeo, where Tim was asking for help on thumbs up, Ron repklied to my comment he'd asked a brilliant question...... which it is..
andhe says that oughta be good for SOME KIND OF PRIZE !! - -sigh-., and you camr thru with a cheerer upper for him !.

Then me, kidding around, sayng - heck I poured and researched my head out on my thread, and how I NEVER get kind word from you or atta' boys...then sure enough I see in here 'Good clues Steveo' !! (humbled and corrected,happier someone was nice to me and said something to one of my posts that was not an ascerbic zinger..lol... so now, embarrassed, I am sitting in a corner, in a stone house..no one is home..but I hear stirrin....rocking back and forth, hummin single note endlessly, one of the miner 7's from Beautiful, lol... huh n nnnn nuh n uh nuh nnnnn (Lightfoot scat) - I invented it a mont hor so ago....primarily for when you are singing to the radio and you can't remember the lyrics and you have a friend that does with you and you gotta cover....when both of you would reallt prefer to hear Girdon than each of our near-dead donkey's (heyyy - that 'd make a great new band name anymore - 'The Near-Dead Donkey's' - makes as much sense as smashin pumpkins, or all-of-a-sudden the joke of the industry - 'The Red-Hot Chili-Peppers' - who were kinda catchy, and that one woman's hips made you forget how bad they are anyway....lol.....its liek all of a sudden everyone is usoing them as a something to beat with a sticjk in the media.....

oh well


Thank you Char - I appreciate the compliment I overlooked - steve and geo combined = Steveo - I like that ! lol

Jesse Joe 11-14-2008 10:45 AM

2nd THIS is a coola nut....this...is an un-coolanut a hahahahah
Seven -up yaw Man ... ahahahahaha

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
And thanks for the 'thumbs up' Jesse Joe on keepin the post up.

And, while I like ppl calling me geo.....it is taking hold and I cannot go against the grain of all these good ppl calling me steveo....jj started it maybe 6 days ago......now char, and others are using it ! thars cool ....n/p !


Here,,might be a clue or 2....

and a little hint,,, you know the song 'I did it my way' - in it is sung "I just gotta be me'.... well, what if the 1st person were changed to the 2nd person...and you'll find him by the bayou..... and you may have to take it by stealth again.... hope thats helpful for everyone....

Anyone who feels they mised out on a clue....I'll provide them one for any Q of their choice. :)

Oh, Linda 11-14-2008 12:15 PM

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Hi geo Steve....I'm still here and interested in playing. Just came down with over a week-long bug that wiped me out completely. Feeling better and catching up on the many threads/posts I've missed, but started here and saw the new clues.

The current batch of clues seem a step-up in difficulty for me, although I could easily attribute that to my present state of just beginning to feel better. But I must say your last little hint there (I just gotta be me) triggered the song I believe to be correct, another song of unrequited love, as follows:

Q223: Thinking wicked....

From You Just Gotta Be

You'll find me by the bayou
Thinking wicked thoughts of you ~ GL

Q222 - At shades
Song - If There's A Reason (love the mood/tempo of this song)
Lyric -
If you should need me deep in the night
At shades of twilight
If there's a reason for living without me
Just let me know and I'll go on living

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 
Q-224
...ember
Song-Anything For Love (ya know - I like this song - even with the Foster fooling around stuff)
Lyric
Not long ago as I remember
Once upon a dark and windy day
When love looked like a dying ember
Before you came to call
The beauty of it all I thought I'd lost and yet

Thought it might be: Ecstasy Made Easy but ember is plural.. both songs with similar lyric are on East of Midnight album

Ecstasy I ask you, are you a name
Or just another patron with a smile
Let me analyze you, are you a flame
Or just the dying embers
Of a kiss run wild

And there never was a man who was born with a gunner's hand
Who ever took a pan to big blue.

Very good Oh Linda, with that last clue that Geo Steve gaved I would have got it, but you beat me to it. :clap:


I was thinking of Shadows before coming on line, It's a wicked wind. But that was not it, the word wicked was very confusing. :confused:


Good for you Linda hope your feeling better ! :)

Q-224...ember
Song-Anything For Love (ya know - I like this song - even with the Foster fooling around stuff)
Lyric
Not long ago as I remember
Once upon a dark and windy day
When love looked like a dying ember
Before you came to call
The beauty of it all I thought I'd lost and yet
So:Q-224 ...ember -right
Song:Anything For Love ~ gl -right !
lyrics:
Not long ago as I remember
Once upon a dark and windy day
When love looked like a dying
ember
Before you came to call
The beauty of it all I thought I'd lost and yet

- you are right Char, the more I think about this song, and all the lyrics you posted; it makes me aware of how good a song it is.... to he88 with the pundits and ballyhooeing over Foster. When I saw on a You Tube the video for Northern Lights, he struck me as very talented and affable.
I can picture Kristoferson lookin at him work, and sayin to himself ' The guys never sweat a day in his life....never strung fence, never dug a ditch in a rain storm in a hurry, he's soft.... untested, thats why HIS songs seem like plastic to Lightfoot's Rawhide...and my, .....my STEEL lol....in a way its not far off, but so what, the kid is talented. He brought out a different side of Gord I didn't mind seeing for a song. Know what I mean ?

Quote:

Thought it might be: Ecstasy Made Easy but ember is plural.. both songs with similar lyric are on East of Midnight album
Ecstasy I ask you, are you a name
Or just another patron with a smile
Let me analyze you, are you a flame
Or just the dying embers
Of a kiss run wild
Interesting coincidence... same,album - , and I too, despite critique of 'over-producing' also like them both.

Well congats again Char - I'll post 'em all in a few minutes... :clap: :headbang: :headbang: :headbang:

When you wrote "no one will ever know, what I know so (too) well..." jogged Miguel right out of my head.

And yes, feeling much better (bad cold/flu, thanks for askin') and I was on vacation for a week--went to an Italian cooking school in eastern Tuscany...something I've always wanted to do and finally did it with a group of friends.

Q219 .....costs eight

Song : Does Your Mother Know

Lyrics :

Just tell her, they tell her
That you've got ten dollars and your rent costs eight

(Q221 is tough. Lightfoot uses 'if ' a lot)

Oh, Linda 11-18-2008 10:46 PM

Status as of 11:25 PM 11/26/08 Hi guys ! You got 'em all ! except one, Q217 ....smilin' - hint - Our great friend in England Bru absolutely loves the song - that'll just about give 'er away..lol.. but I will now leave it up for you experts - the regular players to chew over that one- or whomever wishes to to take a crack at it...and go ahead and post TEN NEW CLUES FOR THE HOLIDAY - while you are lettin the belts out a notch, and grow weary of Turkey sandwiches - these ten new ones will be here for ya. Thanks for your patience, I'll not trouble you with my goings on...I'll simply say I am glad to be back among the walking :biggrin:

I'll make the 'you're correct !' short and....short here to get right to the ten new ones after posting below the 2 of 3 you got since last 'X' files.

Q219 ....costs eight - Ron nailed it with 'Does You Mother Know' ~gl
Q221 Now if .... Oh,Linda! Nailed it with 'Long River' ~gl

Congrats to you both,Ron and Linda !

I'm glad you are back among the living again, Linda, and domestic Terra- Firma. Wow!- is all I can say on the Tuscan(y) Italian trip with friends to Haute Cuisine School ! - cool ! can I come over ? sumpin' smells good....lol..... I have heard many such top-drawer fine cuisine cooking schools are considered graduate-level work, was this a week of non-credit enrichment cramming or in pursuit of a(nother?) sheepskin ? ....I do hope you and your friends watched the presumed-to-be-obligatory 'Under the Tuscan Sun' DVD with Dianne Lane - just about my favourite actress, before you went.

Linda have you seen her in 'Indian Summer' ? -its a really good movie - sort of 'Big Chill' meets 'Camp Hava30-Supai-something-crisis' ! Its very atmospheric, beautiful autumn scenery - all filmed on an Island in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario, if I remember right......it IS worth seeing if you liked Big Chill or like Dianne Lane or the ensemble cast that filmed on location.

Ron - good that you and I are both out of hibernation..... lol.. unique characteristic of our species homosapiencheesepuffsnbeerdaBears when we take our near-annual respit if we are of sufficiently at the ....'food level stored up adequately' state as Winter is setting in...lol.
Ron I really did like your Q posed in your thread on Lightfoot is to Canada, as ( ) is to the USA. Very astute question. My answer was el-stupido - (not THE answer to THE Q,... simply my response.....-phew-....and about 100 years off, but whats a century or two among friends ? lol

OK so we leave Q217 to chew over when your bored, next the provisional/ -final X-files chart -pending Q217's solution- followed by the seperate post for the 10 new Q's,226-235
