Week 34: Transience

A radio-controlled clock, about 10 years old, (with long-time exposure to blend the seconds, and a little post-processing to make it look old, of course) with the additional feature of a countdown (or increasing counter), by default set to 1/1/2000 – since then, over 75000 hours or over 3150 days have passed, and there’s even not enough space for displaying the seconds…

Welcome to the latest music quiz – like 2 weeks ago as initial letter riddle: I show the first letters of each word of titles or several lines from the lyrics, and you have to guess title and artist.

If you need examples, check out the quiz from 5 Aug

Here are all 10 right away – if needed, I’ll give hints from time to time (but in German, unless there actually is an English participant)… In case of doubt, I used the lyrics versions from LyricWiki.

Hail hail rock ’n’ roll, don’t leave me standing on the bleak
Don’t leave me stranded on the street
I see the light, I feel the heat

Here come Elvis, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee

T’Pau: Heart And Soul
Something in the moonlight catches my eye
The shadow of a lover goes dancing by
Looking for a little bit of love to grow, so
Give me love, give me heart and soul

der einzige nicht englische Titel heute … obwohl England aktuell doch irgendwie eine Rolle spielt;

Da gibt’s verschiedene Aufnahmen; die Sätze mögen unterschiedlich angeordnet sein.

Kid Rock: All Summer Long
We didn’t have no internet
But man I never will forget
The way the moonlight shined upon her hair

And we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love down by the lake to our favorite song

Sipping whiskey out the bottle
Not thinking ’bout tomorrow
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long
Singing “Sweet Home Alabama” all summer long
