all that is good, five iron frenzy

i'm a copycat, yeah i know.

Apparently the rules are thus:
1. I go through 25 songs at random on my iTunes.
2. I write down the first line/coherent sentence of each song.
3. Using their collective musical knowledge my facebook (and other) friends guess the song title/artist by writing a comment on the note.
3.a. They do not use a google seach or something of that nature.
4. I update the note with songs that have already been correctly guessed written out.
5. I inevitably get embarrassed for having awful music in my iTunes.
Sounds about right. Onward!
P.S. If I tagged you it's because I believe that you should know the answer to at least one of these songs, so keep an eye out for one you recognize.

1. I can smell the death on the sheets

2. It's not unusual to be loved by anyone

3. It wasn't really sad the way they said goodbye

4. This is the song that runs under the credits

5. Word 2 the Father, Word 2 the Father

6. Hold it together, birds of a feather

7. You stand before me, now we stare eye to eye

8. If everybody had an ocean across the USA

9. Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me

10. Guess what, I'm done writing you songs

11. She thinks I'm much too thin, she asks me if I'm sick

12. I feel like I would like to be somewhere else doing something that matters

13. I have an evil plan to save the world for every man

14. If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity, we're taking on water and about to f@#$ing sink

15. You never walked away, you never left or let me down

16. Lately I'm not quite myself, maybe I do need some help

17. Build a bridge or maybe two, together held with footsteps she outgrew

18. There is a Redeemer, Jesus, God's own Son

19. Steve walks warily down the street with his brim pulled way down low

20. Was at the end of my rope, had nowhere to go

21. If I had a million dollars

22. So Marigold, my love, you've had too much to drink

23. So she said, "What's the problem, baby?"

24. In my mind I can see Your face

25. Wise men say only fools rush in

name that tune:
it went "zip" when it moved
and "bop" when it stopped
and "brrrrrr" when it stood still

how many five year olds can you take in a fight?

gotta start this off right

this actually occurred last night, but it was sufficiently cool to merit a repost here:

"so it's 3:30, and i'm going to bed. average bedtime, but not great. but, y'know, that's my problem, and i'll deal with that.

but as i go to bed, my itunes is going, and as i get into bed i notice what song is playing:
"i am the way;
follow me and take my hand.
i am the truth;
embrace me and you'll understand.
i am the life;
and for me you'll live again.
for i am love,
i am love,
i, i am love."

i might be in a miserable place right now, but god's there. i don't always seek, and i rarely listen. but he's there.

i think i needed that."

partially related -- complete and total high five to elliot for being a hero for me. because, y'know, he doesn't have enough on his plate already or anything. i heard somewhere that "sense is something you have when you have a choice, but it's also knowing when you don't." so i guess i have some sense now. thanks bro.

name that tune:
Where does the misunderstanding come from?
Demanding that we be outstanding and then some?
