Stung by Sting: Answering questions using title songs
I tag all of you! Please do try it. It is fun!
This is a tag.Apparently, the exercise came from Facebook. I saw it from the site of Wits and Nuts and I thought it's a fun thing to do.

20. My motto:

Postscript:
One of my most favorite of Sting's songs is Why Should I Cry For You from his Soul Cages album.
Says an article I found on the web: "Soul Cages is dark, wintry, and by far the saddest album of music that Sting ever wrote. None of the songs on this album went on to become the iconic hits that marked Sting's earlier career, but almost every song on the album is a masterpiece. And the heartbreaking Why Should I Cry For You is no exception. It tells a tale of missed opportunities...the poetic lyrics show Sting reaching deeper than before..."
A portion of Why... is below:
Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North, north west, the stones of Faroe
Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
All colors bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean's bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my days remaining
But would north be true?
Why should I?
Why should I cry for you?
Dark angels follow me
Over a godless sea
Mountains of endless falling,
For all my days remaining.
hmmm.. mahirap nga 'to Tito.
as in the question will remain as it is? walang baguhan ng tanong... yan na yan??? pagisipan ko nga kung papatulan ko yang tag mo! lolz!
pero napatawa mo ako sa #..... wag na nga! hahahahaha!
Your #17 is creeepy! I considered other artists before doing this tag, for the song "Here comes the sun" and "Island in the Streams" as responses for #5. I'm now curious to check the lyrics of other songs of Sting.
hell yeah! i made one! posted na po! hahahahaha! kakahawa ka Uncle! lolz!
Congrats Azel. And I hope others would follow suit dahil it really is a very interesting tag and for some reason, it tells a lot about ourselves.
Witsandnuts: Was it really? I was thinking of hanging my head on my shoulders (not hanging my head with a rope!). Nyay! I believe in the Almighty and I'm constantly praying that, if I happen to lose everything, let not hope be one of them. Please do check Sting. He's one wonderful artist and his songs addicting.
Nebz parang ang hirap naman ng tag na ito, pag-iisipan ko hahaha, ano ba yan wala yata akong alam na kanta ng sting na yan hehehe but this is fun, hmmmm bahala na si batman kung makagawa ko ng tag na to hehehe, busy kasi e
This is interesting, subukan ko sa susunod kong post hehehehe. But this seems difficult, but I'll try.
tempting pero mukhang mahirap nga. hindi ko kasi alam yung ibang mga kanta ng gusto kong singer. minsan iilan lang ang alam ko. nakaka-excite mabasa yung mga gagawa nito :)
