Put up a line or two from an 80s song for people to guess.

Starting you off with...

And wonder if you'll ever see the sun

Hope this is 70s, I think it is, and it’s just so awesome to risk!

Light in my head
You in my arms

Honeyroar · 05/06/2020 21:17

I meant hope it’s 80s!

lilgreen it's Big Country but I'm trying to remember the name of the song. I really liked it.

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 21:20

Fisherman’s blues! Waterboys.

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 21:21

@Honeyroar this is really spooky but before I saw your lyric I was downloading that song to my Spotify playlist. Shock

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 21:22

@RiftGibbon yes it’s Big Country. It’s such a beautiful song.

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 21:35

Hold!

I'm thinking of things I'd hoped to forget
I'm choking to death in a sun that never sets
I clogged up my mind with perpetual greed
And turned all of my friends into enemies

Honeyroar · 05/06/2020 21:40

@lilgreen very spooky, but a most wonderful song and on my playlist too.

One of my best friends died last year, she was my indie buddy and these threads have included half the tracks I’d put on a playlist for her, it’s spooky! I love sharing them with people again.

lilgreen · 05/06/2020 21:43

Ah how sad. She had great taste. Flowers

This next one(sounding like an seasoned DJHmm) was introduced to me by my older sister when I was a young teen and I’m still listening to it.
