Q331 Sometimes .... = 'Sometimes I Don't Mind' ? = yes! Correct. And, in fact the intended song to boot ! Time for mead and merriment !

Thanks for playing oh noble, wise, yet humble Knight. Your jouney has fortuitously included a stop in our humble village. You engaged us in a game of lyrical jousting, and you won. Once again, we see that the word and the pen art mightier than the shword. We call our humble village Chancealot, repleat with a 2-star restaurant and AAA-rated rooms with mini-bars and straw beds that shake for a quarter ! Doth your Quest permit a lay-over ?

Please stay for the dance of fair maidens around the bonfire, or perhaps try your hand at the Gauntlet. The first man who makes it through wins a kiss from the Queen. Only problem, we do not have a Queen, Or a King. In fact, we are a lawless bunch of anarchists. Give us you money, your shword, and your steed. Then be on your way until you come back and we shall Welcome You as a King ! ...I'll post your X Mende, thanks for playing !

Q333 Nothing.......

Song : Too Late For Prayin'

Lyric : Nothing here but grains of sand

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Hi oTJ, your very workable 'ambig' - (a song that works, is not the intended song in steve's notes, but would win the clue, if it were the first submission) was a hair after joveski's. So joveski wins it by timing. The fact that his song was the intended song makes no diffference over yours, he just submitted a working song first. Sorry oTJ :(

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Q333 Nothing....... = Too Late For Prayin' ? - yup ees correct ! I'll post the x-files now that alll entries are in for this round....

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Thanks Lynn.

uh-oh, I am having a blabberty-fit on a philosophical approach to the game being just for fun, with non competitiveness. If you want to by-pass my brain-sneeze, simply drop down this post to the good ole' Yellow BACK TO BIZ below ! ...lol

How are you today Lynn ? You're well on your way to a majority victory in this list. whoops - I caught myself...this a only a game for fun w/o winners or losers. But... I remind myself, as a group we do not want to try and engender a competitive situation, and the all-too-common unfortunate ends it can take. I speak only of my view point; I think I ought to simply speak out in my oft mini - blah-blah's and at times BIIIG bla-blahs,(sorry Lynn) we are here to have fun first and foremost ! so I choose to mid-course self-correct to speaking much less with cloying sports analogies and cliche'd competitive rousting locker-room motivational speaches.....

In turn then, speak of what I read into Lightfoot's philosophy via my own attempt at interpreting his via his lyrics; complicated thought it may be, he speaks more of simply happiness and sadness, joy and sorrow, and the occassional in-between ethereal purely philosophical or spiritually-focused songs, (to name a few), which he has far more the eloquence than I in. Nor would it be as a group norm reccomended to go into the three things we are taught to avoid talking of in social settings. The third becomes ambiguous in many families. In mine I'll simply state the most common fist two frequently taught: I'll avoid politics &religion, and add avoiding a competitive mentality, as I have mildly been pushing in the blah-blah block area above x-files.

Rather, I'll avoid those land-mine strewn and innappropriate-for-this-thread subjects, and sports cliches, and lame tired old motivational rah-rahs I caught myself slippping into (the latter two). I will speak enthusiastically of simply having ....a breather...a good time w/o consequences. Put simply... while the thread does hit the gas pedal on heavy thinking, it is for simply having fun; no winners, no loosers, just fun gaming and mild escapism, all admirable and I hope no down-side - pure intelligent fun. This all pertains again simply to me catching myself on rolling down the wrong tracks -rah-rah sports metaphors and sense of competitiveness in my talkety block areas, and here in the unfortunate recipient of my ex-cogitations in what could be a simply be a 'yes !', or 'no...sorry response' - to your submission oTJ. Sorry about this; I had to get it out of my system. I saw my blah-blah blocks between 'UPDATE' and the x-file block getting strewn with cliches and non germane discourse to...just..having...fun.. I have to do this periodically oTJ, or I suffer a mind implosion, and all who suffer in a ten-minute radiius !..lol..

Back to BIZ:
ok:
1st:Q330 Reminds... = 'Bells of the Evening' ? Yes, it sure does !
"Reminds me of the redwoods and moss covered ground"

2nd - Q335 .... woodland, water .... = Pussywillows, Cat Tails ? Yep !
"Rainpools in the woodland, water to my knees"

two more 'REMAINS UNANSWERED' - down, 2 to go !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Steve,

The last 2 you gave me credit for weren't mine...they were from my LTT teammate, Lynn! I won't say any more right now... :-)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

oTJ didn't give me the answers! Honest!! LOL

Now, I'm not sure about this one, because the one I think it could be might have been capitalized and had .... after it. It depends on who's transcribing the lyrics. Another one of my vistories.

Q327 .... at dawn
Miguel
Like a shadowy ghost at dawn he came and he went

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Thank you for the tip on my significant duhhhness...lol I DO know Lynn is 4Lane, and you, oTJ, are from TomCat . I guess I had a brain-sneeze. We may never know. I'm good to go, all systems go for the next etymological entrant. I'll fix the x-files to reflect Lynn, and oTJ, hats off to you in your honesty. Somehow, I get the feeling that the loss of two Big-X'es of yours is not a major blow. But......if you get real down in the dumps, I'm here for the whole team, in times of trial and tribulation. So if you get to where you feel life is not worth living due to this......please feel free to PM me, or call my people, leave a voice mail or something, uh ? lol....j/k around - we're here for ya. Ciao :cool:

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Hi Lynn ! I made the differentiation correctly, so I thought I would tastefully indicate this, discretely so that no undue attention is drawn to the fact that I forgot for one post you are 4Lane, and oTJ is TomCat !
I'm good now. So a, oTJ says YOU (snicker) got this answer w/o his help (a hahaha) OK, I'm buyin', I'm wit ya. Hit me with it. I'm a I'm all ears, you dig ?
OK tseeer,
Q327 .... at dawn = Miguel ?
OK Lynn I'lll drop the phony 'deal-cutter' from Die-Hard 1 :cool: the guy that thought he'd 'cut a deal with the Euro-somethings in the Nakamichi Tower. I hope that got a laugh out of you, dispite how obtuse it was. So - here is the way its Shown in our datum of reference - Lightfoot.ca:
"Like a shadowy ghost at dawn he came and he went"
Since the dot rules say .... at dawn , with no dots after players are to assume that it must be found at the end of a verse line (sentence).
In this case, there are more lyrics after 'at Dawn' so... I am sorry Lynn, the
boyz, they'll breaka my legs if I give you dis one capiche ? lol - I am sorry Lynn. But its the same way everyone else picked up the finer points of the dot rules which I've managed to condense to this:
Q997 ....cool words .... - means there have to be lyrics on both sides.
Q998 .... cool words - means the words given are at the END of the verse
Q999 Cool words.... - means the words given have to be the start of verse.

So your case - Q327....at dawn fits the Q997 model, at dawn would have to be at the end of the verse. It would have to read like this to work:
Like a shadowy ghost he came and he went at dawn " w/ dawn at end. . Sorry about that, Lynn. Don't feel bad - everybody learned them that way. You've picked up everything so fast - I'm amazed you went so far without a learning oops'er. Tell oTJ it didn't work - lol j/k ! :biggrin:

I also understand about 'who's transcribing' - because a LOT of Gords verse go like this: Cool words cool words, Cool words cool words.

And almost everyone at one point or another assumed the comma in the middle, as in the verse from Miguel, ws the end of a verse, especially when just listening (the admirable way) - but looking up in lightfoot.ca to checjk your answer is now considered absolutely fine to do. I know a lot of his songs sound like a verse end where Lightfoot.ca shows commas. Anyway - if another 'offical EMP release of lyrics or something like that shows them stacked narrrow and tall, with commas at the end, it;d work. But for now, we gotta go with Lightfoot.ca. One time Char caught an error in Lightfoot.ca - in the RobinHood song everyone is embarrassed by ( men in tights) - the song clearly said when heard: with suits the shade of evergreen. But lightfoot.ca said it was the 'sheen' of everbreen. So its been disproved once to my knowledge. hEY oH WELL another clue.... you'll get it. for Q327, I'll give
everyone who reads this the 2nd clue on Q327:
- The intended song is one of Gord's 'most ethereal songs' by his words, and Kefara found it very interesting - with Gordon using a literary tool to indicate relationships love lostas ghosts - that appear in so many songs, he also said the song had very cool chords in it, and this song had chords Lightfoot had 'never used before, very cool, very cool' . One last hint - moss-covered ( ). Happy hunting Lynn. :)

could #327 be "Is there anyone home?"

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Q328 ... number
Borderstone
"I'm a name with no number"

It's a "pretty little town" with "the sound of the beans boiling".

Thanks Mende for nailing one of the last two. That leaves only Q328. :eek:

That means I gotta have ten new ones ready ! I'll post yours in the final board after I look at the next one: Q328,.... looks like we may be done !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Thanks Lynn ! You got it ! Was it the 2nd clue - the other 2nd clue, not the one in my long-winded reply to your recent shot at, uhn, which one I forget ! It was 327 ....at dawn I think. I wrote the long diatribe - then did a large font notification to all to make it fair of the '2nd clue' to 327. lol...

Anyhoo - you nailed 328 ! Q328 ... number = Borderstone correct ! Thanks for playing Lynn, and wrapping up the last of the ten ! Now we get ten new clues.... I'll shoot for your 50/50 idea again, which I tried to do here. Did it seem so ? I think it was more 70hard/30 easy myself, but what do I know. I just work here. Thats one of the dummest things I have ever heard an employee say in a store. Of course you work here, so go find my answer, or find someone who does know, and memorize it ! Then you'll get promoted if you do that a lot ! LOL..... But waddoo I know, I just work in this thread.... lol

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

OK HERE ARE TEN NEW CLUES, POSTED @ 3:55am.,Thurs.,FEB 5th, 2009 !

Round one - oTJ turns in one of the weidest words in Lightfoot's work - when taken out of context - .... insane .... from Stay Loose !

And speaking of out of context, extracting a 'left side word' with the 'right side word' if you know what I mean - clue .... man child song 'Mama Said'! - formerlyLavender nails this one I never would gotten myself.

And Jenney nails another , well, not so ODD a word as the ones above, but unusual word in a love song. I'd say 'Anything for Love' is a love song, wouldn't you ? Its more a song about love, than a love ballad ostensibly sung to a woman in the song, does that make sense ? Hard one, and Jenney nails it again. She's in the habit of doing 4 out of 10 !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Q345

...insane...

Stay Loose

To be insane beyond belief

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Indeed, in fact, it was the memory of the Stay Loose vistory that helped me with this one because I remember looking for a picture of a girl/woman/female that appeared to be "insane beyond belief".

I'll be starting on the Broken Dreams vistory in the next day or two...so, in the near future, don't choose any lyrics from that tune or I'll clear the board real quick :-)

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

Hi everyone - as usual on a blabberty-rich page, if you wish to view only game-consequential info, jump on down to the ole' 'BAK TO BIZ' :)

Howdy oTJ - are you up late like me or early to rise ? = Lessee here - you're in Eastern Std. - so its 7:45 am out there right ? You're no where near Easterly enough to be in the primarily Maritime Province-dominated Atlantic time Zone as I recall the "Time Zone Map" - while jagged for various reasons, hmm it essentially runs at change zone every 15 degrees of Longitude/Hour - and you are you are very roughly 30 degrees Easterly of me (I'm in Mtn. Std. Time Zone), and hence you should be in Eastern.

Then again there's common sense, which arrives at the same conclusion. But its more fun when I am bored to make it more complicated. Thats why when I consult I like to charge hourly ! j/k..!

I could pull up the map, but people would think I am obsessive about maps....well I am ( looking furtively in all directions to make sure no one hears) - not obsessive in the clinical sense, but 'enamoured of' in the most, er.....admirable way.

Here's the worst it gets. I deliberately open a 75 Year old Nat Geo atlas, or RandyMac gilt-edged pages, gold-stamped Title on the cover and binder edge, and when it opens, with low-wattage oblique lighting, the dust rises just so...and then (this is the worst part)... you know how love the aroma of your father's pipe-tobaco, or good new harness leather ? - And BTW - its best to read a good Atlas in a full-grain leather club chair, that adds the good leather aroma !

Well, in that healthy frame of mind, since I love maps, and my father taught me the love of maps, enough that I chose it as a career, and I love maps, and atlases... so I open the atlas, and, well, inhale the aroma of old linen-based, high-quality bond; high-poundage-guilt-edged paper....lol.... it smells like....once-in-a-lifetime-trips, open it to the center page - and Western Europe at the stitched center. And I flip through the pages, look at the map without reading the legend, and guess the projection based on techy-stuff I won't bore you with, er... I'm probably boring you now !

okkk guessing what the gatefold map will be - usually a 2-page Robinson Projection of the World, unless its made before about 1944 or so, have to double check but he was a Professor of Geodesy and Cartography at Univ. of Wisc., Madison. He was a WWII Bomber Navigator because of his background, and the Robinson Projection he derived to portray a more equitable map for geo-political reasons, as the grossly-over-used and ill-used Transverse Mercator Projection (its meant ONLY for navigation, as great-circle arcs are straight lines on it, but it comically and grotesquely distorts and enlarges land mass size, and consequentially makes the extreme Latitudes i.e. > 65 degrees N or S look like stretched out laundry hanging outside frozen stiff in its distortion so bad its funny.

It also for "political" reasons (Trans Mercator) had its std. parallels set at 40 N and 40 South, so scale would be exact running right through around Germany by memory, Gerardus Mercator's home country in any event.
Handy scale exact for them in central Europe, (and Boulder Colorado!), but
its so bad even ole Gerardus stopped at 85 degrees N and S, and thought - "hmm thats too bad up there and down there... and who cares about Siberia and Alaska in the arctic Circle, and that it makes Greenland look almost as big as Australia he he we'll make 'em create a polar map projection for 85 - 90 N and S - and ...er...about 200 years later we did...the Polar Stereographic Projection.

A good compromise on a equal-area map projection for general display of the world is either Robinson's, or Goode's Interrupted Homolisine Equal Area Conformal... - the one that looks like someone cut an orange peel running up and down on lines of longitude, but stopped cutting at the equivalent of 85 degrees...surprise.. and then flattened-out the whole thing to dry (a 'developed' map projection) ....but we don't get to cut em and smoosh them, we have to use pages and pages of math..... you gotta love it ! Well now surely I have bored you... if you were up late versus up early, this ought to have helped you get asleep lol......
================================================== =====
BACK TO BIZ !

'tseeer:

Q345 .... insane .... = Stay Loose ? It sure does ! Did a memory of a Vistory help you on this odd little one ? lol... Well Done :clap: :headbang: :biggrin: I'll post it...'BIG BAD 'X'

Well, regarding your morning's input

Thanks for playing Jenney !

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

formerlyLavender: I can't believe someone found this, the two words I cut out, out of context with 'man child' , like a man who never matured emotionally from boyhood - which its not about -its all in the journalist's trick in taking things out of context. But, I've learned to NEVER underestimate corfidites in the tiniest details we remember about the music we love, and of course the performer :biggrin: :headbang: OK lets put it in ink:

Q340 ...man child = Mama Said ? - yep, it does... I still can't believe someone found this one...wow...lol

I'll post your BIG - 'X' :clap:

I think I am amazed frequently of the UA period stuff you guys nail so quick in my estimation, seems that way to me because I could not answer them that quick myself, because, I think, I am not as found of the UA period, actually no where near as fond as the Warner years notably '70 - '82, and then once again starting with Painter and Harmony. I sure wish he could do just ONE more....

Hey Ronster , how are ya this morning ?

Q342 Hidden..... = Knotty Pine ? Yep ! You got 'er Ron. :cool:

I gotta admit - this one seems tough to me. But, I've been saying that about all of em ' 3 is all before this one. Maybe the other 6 will turn in fast, ?

Could you hear this one in your head ? Or did you use resources Ron ? I'm just curious cause I don't think I would have gotten it. Its cool if you did, you know we did dump the rule that looking up was cheating, so its even more casual to tell all - Enquiring minds want to know ! I like the vistory for this song - having sold that knotty pine panelling that house had inside -
8" On Center, shiplap, and in Colorado we were selling a LOT of Beetle-kill spruce, Aspen, and pine. And it went for top dollar ! Go figure.... worm eaten wood getting more than clear select ! Such a deal. Thanks for playing Ron.

Re: GL Lyrics fan(atics) fun quizzers and more !
 

I played it the way I do all the quizzers (unless I confess to cheating). I might have 4 or 5 song possibilities in mind, and then I go to Wayne Francis' site to confirm or reject. I certainly can't remember, or read through, all the lyrics to all the songs. In this case, it was the fourth attempt.
