Picked up from the internet!
The instructions were to put my music player on "shuffle" , ask the question and then push "play" to see what comes up.
1. How does the world see you?
Salut! Demeure chaste et pure (from Gounod's Faust)
2. Will I have a happy life?
3. What do my friends really think of me?
Mein lieber Hippolyte (from Struass's Rosenkavalier)
Hippolyte was queen of the Amazons, a tribe of women warriors
4. Do people secretly lust after me?
5. How can I make myself happy?
Bella figlia dell'amore (from Verdi's Rigoletto)
Well, I wouldn't over-analyse the libretto, but listening to music as superbly beautiful as this will at least lift the spirits, if not guarantee everlasting happiness.
6. What should I do with my life?
7. Will I ever have children?
Somedays I See the Point - Billy Bragg
It's not a helpful answer to this question, but a fabulous anthem for life:
Never saw a meaningful tv advert, I dont think shopping is a metaphor for life
Dont waste my time at the gym in the morning, try to keep trim by living my life
Every day and in every way Billy speaks to me.
8. What is some good advice for me?
Wild is the Wind - David Bowie
You touch me, I hear the sound of mandolins
You kiss me
With your kiss my life begins
You're spring to me, all things to me
Don't you know, you're life itself!
9. How will I be remembered?
Never high, rarely dry...
10. What is my signature dancing song?
Voulez Vous - Abba
11. What do I think my current theme song is?
The Housatonic at Stockbridge - Charles Ives
12. What does everyone else think my current theme song is?
North Sea Bubble - Billy Bragg
13. What song will play at my funeral?
O Come Everyone That Thirsteth - from Mendelssohn's Elijah
14. What type of women / men do you like?
Pursue thy Conquest (from Purcell's Dido & Aeneas
15. What is my day going to be like?
Art Thou Troubled? (from Handel's Rodelinda)
Art thou troubled? Music will calm thee
Art thou weary? Rest shall be thine
Music, source of all gladness heals thy sadness at her shrine.
Music, music ever divine.
Music, music calleth with voice divine.
When the welcome spring is smiling,
all the earth with flow'rs beguiling after winter's dreary reign,
sweetest music doth attend her,
heavenly harmonies doth lend her,
chanting praises in her train.
Fabulous
I don't tag people and when I'm tagged I have a mental block, but the challenge is yours, should you wish to take it!
* I currently have about half of my collection on Zerlina
