More on those favorites – and television – and deserted islands…

Here are some more answers to some of those random questions you asked me a few weeks ago! I thought I’d compile a few for you today:

Samantha Choate: Since you have been writing songs which is your favorite and why?

Easy. Forty More Falls – hands down. I worked on that song for nearly five months – refusing to give up on it. I followed a lot of the rules of songwriting and it shows. This song was a huge challenge because I so deeply believe in its message and wanted to write in a way that would melodically and lyrically represented that sentiment.

Steph: What’s your favorite thing about Drew?

His eyes. No. Wait… His personality. Yes. His personality… He’s got that charming funny smart handsome captivating thing going. And it keeps me going. You know – like the type of guy that Matthew McConaughey always ends up playing? That’s Drew.

Groovewoman: WHY is Christy Nockels one of your favorite artists? You said she’s your favorite artist, but why? What is it about her that makes you rank her into your favorite category?

Her heart. I don’t claim to know much about her life, but I do know that she’s got a voice of sweet syrup and a heart to worship God. She’s humble. She’s honest. She’s genuine. She’s not the “performance” type that shows off – she just gets up there and pours her heart out to God. That’s something of value. And it inspires me deeply.

Oh! And I have a question for you. Hmmm… If you were flying to Tahiti, and the plane had to make an emergency landing on the water near some random deserted island (which we know is possible – thanks to the Hudson River Runway scene), and all of you had to live on the island for a few years (can you tell I’m going through LOST withdrawals), and you had an infinite battery in your laptop, and you had a DVD player on your laptop, which television series would you wish-upon-a-thousand-stars you could find tucked away in the luggage of the plane?

Tell me WHY it’s your favorite

Most of us, barring those who have puzzling aversions to favorites, have a favorite song. Or at least, have a ready list of 2 to 5 songs that we would call our “favorites.”

What is your favorite song (or songs) and why?

And before you go giving me a bullet pointed list of songs, I want to know WHY. That tiny little three-letter word can be SO significant when a songwriter asks the question.

WHY is it your favorite?? And, if there’s a list, is there something that collection has in common?

Answer all. Answer some. Answer none. Whatever you wanna do… No rules here. Just a fun way to get to know one another. (guess that means if you don’t answer, we won’t get to know you – HI LURKER READERS! :) )

OH!!! AND!!!! I know that some of you don’t like this sort of thing. So I give you permission to list your top three’s, instead of picking just one… Will that work?

I’ll go first in the comments. okie?

only one: memory

apparently, that SORRY society is a governmental brainwashing experiment (ever seen “Conspiracy Theory”?)…..

anyway, the government is using this society as a guise to recruit members for fictitious memory studies – to finally discover if our brains can distinguish the real from the false – the dreams from the memories, etc. this is obviously important in the psychology of memory recovery, but is BIG business for the government with regards to eye-witness testimonies, war prisoners, and the Jack Bauer-esque torturing/questioning.

where do you come in? you’re up for the last phase of membership promotion. the final stage, “elite grand superior master” membership, means they remove all fictitious recollections by having your memory wiped clean. unfortunately, this means that you will also lose all your real-life memories as well. (except one – they have found a crazy psychological way to keep ONE memory)……

i know, its shocking to find this out after being an exemplary member for ten years. but, it explains why all the elite members have a glazed-over look when they returned from the “elite retreat.”

…and you thought PRISON was tough!

there’s no question about it – you WILL undergo this crazy experimental brain surgery which fries your memory, but rest assured – you’ll be allowed to keep ONE memory, so what memory would you choose to keep?
