Song Meme: Answers & More Fun

Happy Friday, everyone!

Remember last week when I had that song meme? Well, here are the lyrics again, this time with answers. And, followed in blue is what each song supposedly says about me (I combined KayO's meme of trivia with kspin's meme of random introspection.) For the record, I strongly disagree with most of the random conclusions.

Thanks again to all for playing. This was by far my most commented upon entry, so I'm guessing some of you had fun! Maybe we'll do this again sometime. It can't be all work, right? Note that, for some reason, kspin's meme only had 28 observations so I'll leave it to you to deduce what songs 29 and 30 say about me. Just be nice ...

1. Stay with it baby – and that’s all I ask of you. (You Are My Kind – Carlos Santana with Seal) What my alter ego is.

3. It's been a (TITLE) and there’s reason to believe maybe this year will be better than the last. (Long December –Counting Crows) What my day will be like
4. (TITLE), north and south and east and west of your life. (What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life? – Chris Botti with Sting) Somewhere in my wedding vows I will include this.
