In case anyone hasn't been able to tell, I think a lot. And I love things like quotes or songs that me think and get inspired/excited. Today I'm going to write some of my favorite lines from some of my favorite songs and you guys see how many you can name the song or artist.
If I had money to burn, I would offer some kind of prize, like a gift certificate or something, but unfortunately I don't have money to burn so your motivation is how happy you'll make me by commenting.
1. This is 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, 50% pain, and 100% reason to remember the name. (for those of you who know this one, don't worry, I listen to the clean version)
2. Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet, just a man and his will to survive.
3. Join in the fight, that will give you the right to be free.
4. Lift me up so high that I cannot fall.
5. You've got me stealin' your love away, 'cause you never give it.
6. I don't know what it is, but I have to laugh when she reveals me.
7. Did you think that I would cry on the phone?
8. It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time.
9. We should get jerseys, 'cause we make a good team.
10. I think sometimes you forget where the heart is.
(I am really enjoying this, so I'm going to do 5 more)
11. Reaching ever upward to the light, no growth for them has come with ease.
12. I'm your only friend, I'm not your only friend, but I'm a little glowing friend, but really I'm not actually your friend, but I am.
13. Move like a jellyfish, rhythm is nothing, you go with the flow, you don't stop.
14. What will it take till you believe in me, the way that I believe in you?
15. Have you ever heard the sounds in the shadows of a song?
After silence that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.
-Aldous Huxley
P.S. Sorry, I didn't think about how you will all be able to see what other people guessed, so just write the ones you know (i.e. I know 3 for sure, and I'm pretty sure about 12, 4, and 8) and tomorrow I will reveal the answers.

Wow! I couldn't even come close to Matt. But I did get the two Billy Joel songs (surprise, surprise) and the Eye of the Tiger.
That was fun!
Ok I know number 1 is Fort Minor-Remember the Name aaaand I'm not sure but is 7 Swing Swing?
I am not looking at what everyone else has written.
#2 is Eye of the Tiger.
#6 Billy Joel from Cold Spring Harbor
#8 One of Jesse's songs from his acoustic stuff
#11 Another one of Jesse's songs from his acoustic stuff.

I don't think I've ever been quoted before, so that's cool. James, #8 is not mine, but I have played it before.
