[Alan Stallion]

"Hello?
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?"

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

 

[Alan Stallion]

"We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun, where the hot springs flow"

Immigrant Song - Led Zeppelin

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Wait, wait
I never had a chance to love you
Now I only want to say I love you one more time

 

[Auld Phart]

When?

11pm

 

[Alan Stallion]

"Bangkok, Oriental setting
But the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brenner"

One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head

 

[Alan Stallion]

"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality..."

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

There's no time for us
There's no place for us
What is this thing that builds our dreams, yet slips away from us

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

"Bangkok, Oriental setting
But the city don't know what the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world
In a show with everything but Yul Brenner"

One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head

I don't see you guys rating
The kind of mate I'm contemplating

 

[leftwinger]

I was a little too tall, could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points, hardly renowned
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points of her own, sittin' way up high

 

[leftwinger]

"Well, I woke up Sunday morning / With no way to hold my head that didn't hurt"

 

[leftwinger]

"Hello, walls / How'd things go for you today?"

 

[leftwinger]

WINNER!

He said, 'I'll love you 'til I die'

 

[JOSweetHeart]

"She put him out
Like the burning end of a midnight cigarette
She broke his heart
He spent his whole life trying to forget..."

Whiskey Lullaby - Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss

I second this. My big question is what song is Brad covering at the 22:15 mark of this clip? I believe that what we hear him sing is the opening line of the song. I just can't remember the name of the song or who sings it.



God bless you and Brad always!!!

Holly (a day one fan of him)

P.S. The only thing that I remember about the song is that it is from the late 80s/early 90s and that it was done by a male singer.

"You don't have to be old to be wise
A bird doesn't wait 'til it dies to fly
Emptiness is not for me
Fill me up and spill over me"

Iwoya - Angelique Kidjo featuring Dave Matthews

 

[Alan Stallion]

"I was lying on the grass of Sunday morning of last week, indulging in my self-defeat..."

Steal My Sunshine - LEN

 

[Alan Stallion]

"Welcome to your life
There's no turning back
Even while we sleep
We will find you..."

Everybody Wants To Rule The World - Tears For Fears
