My world in music
So last week I was hopping around visiting friends’ blogs and I discovered that I had been tagged for a meme. I fully intended to do it, but then forgot whose blog it was on and just what exactly was in the mem. Tonight I got lucky and stumbled on that same post again! That happens when you have friends with great blogs that you visit pretty regularly.
It was Marisa who tagged me. Since I like to start my weekend early, and since it’s almost half-past midnight on a Friday morning, I give you the Weekend Music Meme. The idea is to answer each question below with lyrics from a song. I challenge each of you to see how many of the songs and artists you can identify. Drop your answers (or guesses!) in to a comment.
1.) Are you male or female?:
I am woman, hear me roar …
2.) Describe your neighborhood:
Ano`ai iä `oe e Wai`anae
Ka pi`ina i ka malu o ka ulu kuku`i
Ka `i`ini i ka maile pili aloha
Ke `ala mapuana i ka makani ahe
(A greeting to you o Waianae
The scent in the shade of the kukui groves
For the desire to gather maile, cherished and beloved
The fragrance that is carried on the soft breeze)
3.) How do you look?:
Her clothes are kinda funny
Her hair is kinda wild and free
4.) If you could say something to the person you like, what would it be?
How you brighten every moment
by the things you do and say
5.) Where do you wish you were right now?
Where the humhumunukunukuapuaa go swimming by
6.) What would you say to your best friend?
A lifetime’s not too long to live as friends
7.) Any words of wisdom:
Ho’olono, ho’olono, ho’olono i ka leo ka makani
Listen, listen, listen to the voice of the wind
8.) Describe yourself:
I know I’m searching for something
Something so undefined
9.) What do you think of drugs and alcohol?:
No-no, no, no, no, no-no-no, no, no-no, no, no-no
Na-no, no, na-no, no-no, na-no, no-no, no, no-no, no
10.) If you could say one thing to your enemy, what would it be?:
Don’t turn your back on me baby
11.) What do you usually do on Friday nights?
I read a good book, buy a pair of shoes
12.) Are you for world peace?
War! Huh! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing!
13.) What do you think about school?:
Dear old golden rule days
14.) How do you feel right now?:
I don’t need you to worry for me cause I’m alright
15.) Any closing words?:
’Ike Pono
See clearly. Know for sure.
Next up! I tag: Charlotte, Melissa and Leigh. Have fun!

This is going to be FUN! I’ll let you know when I am done.
I wish I could name these songs, but I am lyrically challanged.

Helen Reddy!
My favorite lines from that song:
Yes, I am wise,
but it’s wisdom borne of pain.
Yes I’ve paid the price
but look how much I’ve gained.
Great job!
