Woot. I never win music things.

Could I perhaps get Amos Lee - Sweet pea, Mat Kearney - Chicago, and Johnny Cash - One? Thanks!

Looks like you do now! :D

Amos Lee - Sweet pea
Mat Kearney - Chicago (acoustic)
Johnny Cash - One

Sorry it took me so long.

Thaaaank you!

*headesk* HOW COULD I NOT FREAKING GET LIFEHOUSE?!?!?! Or Black Lab for that matter :( (if it's the same Black Lab I worship the ground they walk on).

*goes back to review her comment*

Oh, well, "Amie" - Damien Rice. No wonder that was a "vague memory" in the back of my head. I've only been playing it over and over with the other songs from "O" repeatedly in the past 2-3 weeks!!! LOL

And no I didn't know the Hanson song. Oops :$ But there was SOOO many there I should have known. I mean, c'mon, why did Daughtry's "It's not over" click with me when that first line is like my favourite line in that whole song??? *kicks her own musical ass*

I so wanna do this to my f-list now *snickers* AND thank you muchly for correcting my error cause I did not realise til now I put down the wrong number for The Killers song *rolls eyes* but you worked that one out so thank you! *hugz*

*-) I kinda wanna play again :$

Aww, well, it happens! And it has to be the same Black Lab because I, too, worship the ground they walk on! ^^

It's just so much trickier placing a song with just the words, when OF COURSE you'd get it right with maybe just the first 5 seconds of music.

And please, by all means, feel free to start a new round of this in your journal! I'd love to play! :D
