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

[RM]

Hibernation's over ? okay.....

Q220 .....pan.....

Song : Ode to Big Blue

Lyric :

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

[Jesse Joe]

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

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


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.


Good for you Linda hope your feeling better !

[geodeticman.5]

Oh, Linda - sorry to hear you've been sick !
re:some cut n paste from you post I extracted this to move it to pg 26-

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 ?

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...

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

[Oh, Linda]

Q221 "Now if...."


From the Long River

Now if only you could see,
The closing of the day ~ GL

[geodeticman.5]

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

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

[geodeticman.5]

Hey if you are really bored, and nobody is looking, play "The Auctioneer", and clap as loud as you dare to the rythm of the clapping Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly - they clap to almost the precise beat - they are 1/2 a syncopate off if I remember my drumming from High School Garage band days..lol...
here are the little guys....just pull up a copy of gord's The Auctioneer......and your good for at least 5 minutes if you have a long attention span like me................................................ .................................................. ..........lol......
clunk ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Hey Mende - hows it goin ? I am embarrassed you must have seen my clapping Auctioneer guys..lol...I feel like such a dork....

OK 'tseeer:

Q229 ....reminisce, do you.... - CLUE CHECK
Song: 'thank you for the promises' - CHECK
lyrics: err.....uhm....Mende ?....lol....err.....I hate it when I have to be a harda88 - can you supply a line or so for the 3-part submit ? sorry,man - I know you know it, but others will come down on me for equal application of the rule... help me out here with the 3-part submit - just a patch of lyrics for both - and I can BIG 'X' 'en both ! And THAT is exciting stuff ! Mende....wake up Mende....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ lol...... I'LL MARK EM BOTH PROVISIONAL 'X' if I know your gonna submit at least ONE LINE of lyrics for each one... I am so appreciative of your playing, and I do not want to lose you on a technicality - but a new member comes in and I tell 'em we play with 3 submission requirements,,, aw c;mon you know... .lol.....pUUUlleese ?

and

Q235 Two Engines.... - CHECK
Song - 'The Watchman's Gone' - CHECK
Lyrics- err...uhm.....Mende......a pattern is developing here...lol.......help me out buddy please...maybe 5 minutes therapy with the 'Clapping Auctioneer Uncle PennyBags men' - will get you pluckied-up for the three-part submissions...I don't sense a whole bunch of energy at your end...lol..... really how are you doin ? I DO appreciate you posting. You guys celebrate Thanksgiving same day we do - today - by the clock, anyway ?

[geodeticman.5]

Mende I am sorry...but I gotta maintain a semblance of some consistency - or I will viably be accused of inconsistent application of the (now) very minimal rules. They're fair game for anyone until you post some lyrics...its so eeeasy...c'mon man... I bet others'll give you a day to see this; I see you have logged out allready after posting. Leaves me in a bind to do anything else like give you full credit.....bummer....bummer.... lets give 'em a full 24 hours, actually maybe until friday eve to post the lyrics, cause of Thanksgiving, but we know he got 'em, i think he is just not to jazzed-up for the 3-part that basically everyone is doin now, it makes my job so much easier......OK Mende ? Maybe he will see this tomorrow....good job and congrats on the the songs.......now- just a tad of lyrics and you're on the X-files board !

[joveski]

no probs!

229: I'd like to reminisce, do you remember when?

235: Two engines on, 21 coaches long

[geodeticman.5]

Thank you Mende, you get the 'BIG-X' for them both now etched in stone ! I'll do a new chart about every 3 submits -or we will have...lol... 50 pages of my big X charts ! Congrats Joveski; and well done. You have 'officialy'..lol...nailed 'em both ! - Q229 & Q235

[formerlylavender]

I'll take the easiest one...thank you!

Q228 - "Take a hike"
Song - Welcome To Try
"Nothing can hurt me" a small voice said into a mike "Take a hike"

Happy Thanksgiving geo Steve...

[Oh, Linda]

Q230 ....dingy.....

From the song: The House You Live In

Beware of strange faces and dark dingy places ~GL

Had to think about that one for a bit before I got it. The rest....I'm gonna have to think about s'more.

P.S. The cooking vacation was not at the level of say graduate level chef school. It was still very organized but a lot less formal, a very Tuscan approach I must say. Plus lots of free time each day to buzz around the local cities and small towns, which we did, before heading back to start dinner prep at 3pm every day. I highly recommend it, even for the non-cooks.

[Jesse Joe]

Q231 ....change or exchange....

Song: Unsettled Ways


Lyrics: Forgive me the bad things I do
Don't ask me to change or exchange what I am

[Jesse Joe]

Q233 I climbed....

Song: Redwood Hill


Lyric: I climbed the Redwood Hill
Twas on a rainy day
