Welcome To My Blog

We'll be talking about ... writing, and how it's not as easy as it looks ... reading, and how it would be easier if there were more hours in the day ... my four cats and how cute they are (apart from when they bring disgusting things into the house) ... anything else I think is worth a mention.

Please feel free to join in.

A Meme ...



... with a twist ...



I've seen this meme on a couple of people's blogs, so I've decided to steal it and give it a bit of a twist. I don't understand the whole random select i-pod thing - I can just about play a CD on the computer and that's my limit. So I've cheated and hand-picked tracks - and inspired by Lovely Lane's post today - I've only picked tracks by U2!


Anyway - these songs are ... the soundtrack to my life ...


Opening Credits – New Year’s Day

Waking Up - Elevation

First Day at School – Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own

Falling in Love – The Sweetest Thing

Fight Song – Where The Streets Have No Name

Breaking Up –With Or Without You

Prom/Dance/Ball - Angel of Harlem

Life's OK – Beautiful Day

Mental Breakdown – Elvis Presley And America

Flashback –Walk To The Water

Getting Back Together – In A Little While

Birth of Child -Grace

Wedding – I Will Follow

Final Battle – Pride

Funeral Song – Hallelujah Here She Comes

End Credits – All I Want Is You

(can anyone tell me why ‘All I Want Is You’ has to be the end credits song?)

Karen has the right answer! All is revealed in the comments box!

"For all the promises we make
From the cradle to the grave"
Love the twist and your picks!

Lane said...

Great songs. Don't know the funeral one - must look it up.

Your question?

Because it's romantic?
Because it talks about an untold story?
Because it's very personal to you?

Do tell!

HelenMH said...

Yvonne - my life would definitely have to have a U2 soundtrack!

Lane - 'Here she comes, all dressed in black, I know I'm not coming back, Hallelujah here she comes!' It's perfect.

Yvonne is close to the answer to the question in her quote of the lyric - but there's a bigger reason - and it's not personal to me, it's about U2!

good meme and nice answers... saw it at lane's blog earlier and will try it myself later...

thank you, keep well... :-))

Lane said...

It's the last song on the album?
It's about Bono's wife?
Aargh
You are a tease Ms H:-)

Hello? *Gives a little hippy wave*

You are all saying stuff wot I do not understand?

This U2. Is popular, yes?

(I am so uncool)

Caroline said...

'I've only picked tracks by U2' - you make me laugh! I would only pick tracks by Queen.

HelenMH said...

Bart - I look forward to reading yours!

Lane - if no one gets it by the end of tomorrow, I'll post an answer!

Jen - I believe they've had a modicum of success in recent years!

Caroline - obsession is everything! Thanks for understanding xxx

KAREN said...

Good songs! A little more relevant than my motley selection :o)

I can only think the answer to your question is that it's to do with funerals, or that the song plays through the end credits of their Rattle and Hum documentary??

HelenMH said...

Yey! Karen is absolutely right! 'All I Want Is You' is the song that plays over the end credits of 'Rattle And Hum'. I will never forget seeing that film for the first time in a tiny cinema in Swansea and being utterly transfixed by the song, which remains one of my all time favourites.

Lane said...

A-ha!! Now I get it!!:-)

KAREN said...

Blimey - I never get things right, usually :o))

HelenMH said...

Lane - it was so simple really :)

Karen - well done, you obviously saw the film as well!

Leigh said...

Very clever missis!
Everything by U2? I can see why you didn't want to use shuffle; you wouldn't have wanted any SClub sneaking its way into that lot! Ha ha ha!
Nice list. Don't know them all, and have never heard of Rattle and Hum. Have been broadened in the education department. Thank you!
