Name the title and the artist of the song (either artist who wrote it, or the one most known for performing it). As Ivy03 said, I don't know how many of these people will know, so tried to choose interesting lyrics. (I honestly can't decide whether these are too easy or too hard...they make sense to me...)


1.I lost myself to him and laid my face upon my lover's breast
"The Dark Night of the Soul", Loreena McKennitt

5.Watched by empty silhouettes who close their eyes, but still can see
"Solsbury Hill", Peter Gabriel

6.Venus made me, Eros betrayed me, instead of an arrow he used a poison dart

7.Underneath a shady tree, a shadow sitting next to me

8.But it's written in the starlight and every line on your palm

9.Clark Kent reached the highest height with the help of Perry White

13.We've quips and quibbles heard in flocks
"When you had left our pirate fold", Pirates of Penzance, Gilbert & Sullivan

14.It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
"Hallelujah", Rufus Wainwright

15.Flying too high with some guy in the sky is my idea of nothing to do
"I Get A Kick Out of You", Cole Porter

16.And all the leaves on the trees are falling to the sound of the breezes that blow
"Moondance", Van Morrison

17.As your life spills into mine, changing with the seasons
"Since You've Asked", Judy Collins.

18.Haunted echo that surrounds the glen; the heather creeping through the burned out ruins

19.You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
"Proud Mary", Tina Turner

20.Now Mary and her mother gang an awful lot together,
In fact you hardly ever see the one without the other

(Mom, I'm going to be disappointed in you if you can't figure out at least four of these. I know you know six or seven at the minimum.)

1 is by Loreena McKennitt, I think. Don't know which one, tho. I've never been good at identifying songs. In band I'd have entire songs memorized without ever being able to identify their names.

Yes, it is Loreena McKennitt.
