Q379 - ...mind...
Song - Rainy Day People
Lyric -
Rainy day lovers don't lie when they tell you
They've been down there too
Rainy day people don't mind if you cry a tear or two

Q383 - ...think...
Song - Now and Then
lyric -
I think this time
You've said enough to make me want to leave this place
Still I keep coming back for more of the same to fan the dying flame
Here inside these walls that seem to move a little closer every day
There must be a way out of this crazy game we play out to the end
Let us just pretend a while
Think about the good things now and then

'think' and 'I think' are used a lot in this song!!

and with that 'thought' and Lightfoot music in my head I am off to sleep!
;)

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

HI Jenney - got your six-shooter ?lol

I don't think anybody got the fact that Ron's win on Lazy MoRning read:

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

-----------------------------------------------------------------

'tseeer:Q383 - ...think...
Song - Now and Then

sorry Char - right above yours is Jenney's - she beat you to it. But you got it right ! Thanks for playing Char.

Missed it by THAT MUCH (Maxwell Smart humour - smash hit movie)40 minutes or so - sorry - but congrats for getting the right one !

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

Hey Char.....Nyah, Nyah!!!!

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

oh darn..i was so busy listening to the music i didn't refresh my page to see your answer sparky!

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

Q379 ... mind ...

Song: Minstrel of the Dawn

Lyric: Across the room into your mind they go

(or did I miss someone's post?)

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

Now playing on my GordPod : Minstrel of the Dawn

(Yes, you can call me Ann - a victim of his minstrelsy)

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

You got it Ann ! Thank God somebody read my clues ! lol (and refreshed their screen) ;)

This turned out to be a mind-bending trip through how Gord uses words you would associate with certain songs imediately, in other songs...know what I mean ? Like, when I hear 'chains' - I immediately think of IYCRMM
That sort of thing... KNOWN KNOCK KNOCK everbuddy - you a.. know wadeye mean uh ?

Like 'rain' in 'Beautiful' ? Not 'Looking at the Rain' ?
'deck' in 'Circle of Steel' - not 'High and Dry' ?
'dawn' in 'Softly' ? not 'Minstrel of the Dawn' ?
'chains' in 'All the Lovely Ladies' ? not IYCRMM ?

and etcetera ..... of course we know all the above, but I just think its interesting how he has prevalent , if not 'favoured' atmospheric words in many more songs than you would expect... chains, rain, softly, I could go on and on - appear all over....I guess thats part of the 'Lightfoot' feeling ..think ? oh -and above I mean 'instead of' vs 'not' in... of course they are in the song you'f expect them in...but I imbedded another 'secret' in this list - words you'd associate with other songs than the first one you'd expect. Hope you enjoyed it. :)

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

geosteve,

Personally I found the "intended song" idea to be quite challenging. Do you realize how difficult it is to answer the question "I wonder what geosteve was thinking" ?

I also found it enjoyable. Thanks

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

ok Ron - you owe me a new keyboard - I just sprayed water all over the place!
lolol

WWGS do?

lolol

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

Ron, Thank you. At first - of no surprise to you I'm sure - I wrote a long rambling, non-sequiter tome on what I think about...then I remembered - naw - Ron is a bottom-line ,boil it down, non-verbose person - at least on-line lol.. So I trimmed down my reply from rambling thoughts on what all things do I think about -from the divergant patterns of thought that led to my friends giving me a t-shirt in the 70's that said 'Don't bother me now - I'm on 'auto-pilot'...lol.. and then same friends 30 years later gave me a hat that reads - like the movie title, but not LIKE the MOVIE lol - 'Hard to Kill, part 4' - lol - no need for me to delve into the wilderness and medical origins of that, so , I've trimmed-down to what I think of when I pick out word clues aka what you WANTED to know, not what you didn't ...lol.

I tried hard to make this last ten an interesting twist with about 4 bends in it. I'm glad you found it...challenging... main thing though - as long as its fun......as you say, you found it enjoyable, thats what makes it worthwhile for me.

I've definately been thinking a LOT about lifting the 'chains' of mine - that oddly come from good memories, then a loss, etc.... but game thoughts OK.. hmmm

I allways seem to sneak 2 -3 favourite songs in a list ! - So I've been trying to diversify on the songs - and jump around 60's - 70's - 80's-2000's etc songs... lately I've been using words one would associate quickly with certain songs of Gord's - but interestingly are found in many other songs - I have yet to determine the number of how many songs have 'rain', 'chains' etc - as above post that I mention it in. So if any one game-related predictable thought pattern I have been doing lately- is using frequently-used words of his - in the least likely songs (on the surface anyway).

And thanks - for telling me it was enjoyable this last ten.... and I only want the game to be challenging enough to be interesting, not to see if I can stump you guys - not at all... my main goal is that we all have fun...so by what you said - I think I'm getting closer to a balance of 'challenging on the edge of stumping' - vs 'so easy its a walk in the park'... - which isn't such a bad thing - but I 'spect the balance is most fun huh ? ...............

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

Char - what is WWGS ? and here I thought I was a cognoscenti of Lightfoot acronyms, now I know I am duhhhhh lol

As far as the keyboard - turn it upside down asap and shut down everything....it that really happened -or did you mean it metaphorically - lole what Ron said -the thought...was so funny you sprayed what was in your mouth lol I'm glad thinking of what I am thinking about caused you to spray water all over..... 'Steve thinking - ha! lol ----spray-----

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

What Would GeoSteve do?
;)

not that steve's 'actually' thinking, but that WE have to figure out how to figure out what steve is thinking to get the right song..lol

lots of fun!

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

geosteve,

I hope you didn't find my remarks offensive. Yes, your mind is much more diverse than mine and it shows in many of your posts. The rules were challenging. And enjoyable (heck...I haven't been "buzzed" that many times since the '70s).

C'mon....it's fun....do another round of WWGT (what was geosteve thinking) quizzers.

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

I moved the new game to page 45 for your convenience :)

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

Ron, - NOT AT ALL ! I thought they were very friendly and positive - now I gotta look and see where I said something to make you think that ! - and.. I an flattered to have my own acronym in ...WWGT..OR WWST...There lol.......

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

LOL Oh I can guarantee I was not thinking...lol... I wrote a program that repeats at random frequent things I say - so it'll allways sound like me, but in different order.... !

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

Q388 ...guarantee
song-Alberta Bound
lyric-Oh the skyline of Toronto is something you'll get onto
But they say you've got to live there for a while
And if you got the money you can get yourself a honey
With a written guarantee to make you smile

Q390 - ...evergreen
Song - Song the Minstrel Sang
lyric - His aim was mean and his shot was clean
And his suit was the sheen of evergreen
The folks he knew hadn't naught to fear
When the sheriff was there they were over here

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

Q395 Oh Lord....

Song : Hangdog Hotel Room

Lyric : Oh Lord it feels so good to play a nighttime tune

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

Q388 - Yup you got it, Char ! - But I guarantee I wasn't thinking lol

Q390 - I forgot the "S' on evergreens - evergreens was for Borderstone - so you get it as a valid ambig ! Told ya I wasn't thinking !

WAIT JUST ONE MINUTE CHAR -lol 'sheen' - 'sheen' you about ripped my larnyx out when I said it was 'sheen' not 'shade' - you were ABSTOTUTLEY SURE...A HAH ! WWCT ?

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

One other thought, Ron - not only was I not offended (I thought it was kind) - but...

"Yes, your mind is much more diverse than mine" - no noo... I would never imply or state my mind is more diverse than someone elses or yours, what I meant was "divergant' - I think from the top down - most ppl think from the bottom up !
It was a huge obstacle when doing homework in high school and college - with predominantly convergant minds than my awkward and not so desirable divergant mind - (not diverse) - no, Ron, your thinking is very astute and (I envy this) succinct and to the point. I am a rambler, a day-dreamer , I sit up at 4 am and say 'Thats it !' - and write down a solution to something on paper and pencil by my bedside....no divergant thinking is weird - not so enviable lol.... - and in no way better than your thinking Ron.... lol

sorry - why do we keep thinking we offended each other , when I think we havn't lol.... ?

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

You got it Hoss ! See - how good your thinking is ? !

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

be back in an hour or two... 'WWST" lol

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

Q 389 - ...heavenly...
Song - Endless Wire
lyric: Deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you
Down in the black of a bottomless hole
There's a few good second hand scenes

Other than the line 'deep in the dark of a heavenly night with you' this is not one of my fave songs so can't imagine why i knew this..
;)

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

Ma'am,

That's not a happy song. (but, then again, I don't know what geosteve is thinking)

I submit :

Song : Bend In The Water

Lyric : With a heavenly sky and moonlight on the bay

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

well sir, that line alone makes me 'happy'/'dreamy'..
;)
maybe both lines together would be 'ecstatic' making.

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

'WWCT' ? lol happy tune ? There are some terrific songs on that album = Tattoo, Whispers of the North' - but you just gotta look at the album cover photo - thats wy I called it his 'pissed off' album - he looks angry on the cover !. Well anyway....You've got an ambiguous song vs the intended, but the theme I gotta stay consistent with - Happy songs. So -good guess Char - but I gotta hold to the theme, and not necessairly the intended,song - I'll take an ambiguous song, that is happy, but.....sorry Char - WWCT ? lol...

Thanks for playing... :)

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

You're on to my divergant mind path Ron. Its happening... are you suddenly growing a lot of neanderthal-like body hair, the final sigh is no beginning and no end, no upside and no downside, the Mobius path of thought. Visualize one end of the path, twisting it once, and re-attaching it. That is the one-side ribbon trail. You are on the jouney to divergant serenity, Ron. Next, you must learn to control chaos, and qauntify its fractal crenulations. Then, you are the start of the long jouney that leads nowhere but inward....and cheap incense. lol..

You got the song right Ron, like I said, you are able to emulate the 'wwgt' lol

Really Ron. you got it ! - Hangdog Hotel Room ! :cool:

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

oops got a little out of order there..Bend In The Water is the happy tune that works with Heavenly, Ron - congrats. Soon, grasshopper, you will be like drop of morning dew on blade of grass....serene.....then a riding law mower runs over you. I'll post your win. wwct ?
