70's
Been walkin’ my mind to an easy time
My back turned towards the sun
Lord knows, when the cold wind blows
It’ll turn your head around
Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
To talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground
What is "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor (1970)?

I never dreamed that I’d meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you
What is "Wicked Game" by Chris Isaak (1989)?
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea
And you became the light on the dark side of me
Love remained a drug that’s the high and not the pill
But did you know what when it snows
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can’t be seen?
What is "Kiss From a Rose" by Seal (1994)?
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes

Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand

What is "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot (1974)?

Blue eyes shine
This time I think that my lover
Understands me (understands me)

And I don’t remember why I came
What is "Voodoo" by Godsmack (1997)?
You called me strong, you called me weak

If not for me, then you’d be dead
I picked you up, put you back on solid ground
What is "Kryptonite" by Three Doors Down?
Accused and tried and told to hang
I was nowhere in sight when the church bells rang
Never was the kind to do as I was told
Gonna ride like the wind before I get old
It is the night, my body’s weak
I’m on the run, no time to sleep
I’ve got to run, ride like the wind, to be free again
Who is Christopher Cross (1979)?
On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine moanin’ out his one-note song
You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before
But your thoughts’ll soon be wanderin’ the way they always do
When you’re riding 16 hours and there’s nothin’ much to do
And you don’t feel much like ridin’, you just wish the trip was through
What is "Turn the Page" by Bob Seger (1976)?
They let you dream just to watch ‘em shatter
You’re just a step on the bossman’s ladder

In the same boat with a lot of your friends
Waitin’ for the day your ship’ll come in
And tide’s gonna turn and it’s all gonna roll you a-way
What is "9 to 5" by Dolly Parton (1980)?
RIP; she was called back home.
And I’m my own person, not like I need protection
It’s just that I wanna change and go in your direction
God, you’re a laser beam, you’re all my teen dreams
And if I knew you in school, you’d be too cool for me
Then I met you and my eyes changed
And now you’re in my eye range, I’m gunnin’ for you
You changed my heart in a big way
Now every day’s a celebration and I wanna say…
What is "Radio" by Bershy (2022)?

They’re really saying, “I love you.”
Who is Louis Armstrong (1967)?

Made me sad to think it was dead

What is "The Number of the Beast" by Iron Maiden (1982)?
It’s getting cold, picked up the pace
How our shoes make hard noises in this place

And ask many questions like children often do
Tell me all your thoughts on God
‘Cause I’d really like to meet her
And ask her why we’re who we are
What is "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla (1995)?
I’m goin’ to Wichita
Far from this opera forevermore

Right before the Lord
All the words are gonna bleed from me
And I will think no more
What is "Seven Nation Army" by The White Stripes (2003)?
Well if it rains, I don’t care
Don’t make no difference to me

She can rock you in the nighttime ‘til your skin turns red

Siam’s gonna be the witness to the ultimate test of cerebral fitness
This grips me more than would a muddy old river or reclining Buddha

I’d let you watch, I would invite you
But the queens we use would not excite you

Walkin’ tall machine-gun man

Oh God please, won’t you help me make it through?

You’ll know
What is "Dreams" by Fleetwood Mac (1977)
I'll give it to you if you know the artist because the title is not clear from the lyrics!
Have you ever went over a friend’s house to eat and the food just ain’t not good?
I mean the macaroni’s soggy, the peas are mushed, and the chicken tastes like wood
So you try to play it off like you think you can, by sayin’ that you’re full
And then your friend says, “momma, he just bein’ polite, he ain’t finished, nuh-uh, that’s bull!”
What is "Rapper's Delight" by the Sugarhill Gang (1980)?
All this time, I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years, it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don’t let me die here
There must be something more

Leave Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies
Who is Elton John (1971)?
