Thanks Char, little doubt in your mind that, yes, you GOT IT ! LOL
I, if only for a moment, wish all songs could lend well to the kind of clues I gave to the two stragglers above, and this game could be played that way. Not all songs have a color name, or rivers and brightness in the clues, as these two stragglers did.

But you know what, if and when people wished to change this lyrics game, or grow tired of it as I am convinced from time to time they are, but 2 or 3 chime in and politely say ""I'd like to still play, if you please.....", and so I do/we do, and I still enjoy this thread. It makes me wonder if I should open another test thread with the above two colored clues format and take a stab at it for s's and g's..!

No matter, I'm open to that format and will start giving threads this way, if people would like me to open a thread that way or change this one; either way, this old thread-bare game is appproaching mid-life crisis it seems at times, if ony from uncertainty...lol... but it seems to have enough momentum that when I post ten new ones in a list, people pop out of the wood work and gobble up the clues ! That does make it all worthwhile every time.

I will be trying to get such a new list of ten clues up tonight (In North America anyway..lol..I've gotta start thinking globally, such as the time of Dave in Melbourne's submission to the next "story clue in color") and a summary list of x-files for the as-of-right-now complete existing list of ten up through Q235.

I know I have said that before for several days, and do not wish to make a fool of myself in saying I will try and have 'em up tonight..... as the reason for fading in and out from what I will not boar anyone with anymore..lol...., save to say for those I've explained it too out of common decency, as I'd promised new lists by 'this eve' so many times on the last several lists, I am cautious to say such now. But, to those I've explained it too, I keep 'poppin' in-and-out of the big "FREEZer" , and my apologies to all who have grown weary of waiting when they take the time to pop in and look.

That new idea of story clues in metaphor of the song, with color where pertinent, or other artifact or glyph still intrigues me, even if in another thread..simultaneous..hmmm....one thing though - if it were to do well simultaneously as this old horse thread keeps plodding along happily, a little thin at the ribs, but still on its feet.lol..shoud it be continued coincidentally with a new thread,- the coloured metaphorical or story-based clues idea, and would the two running concurrently be presumptuous or particularly if it were to do well, you never know on these threads, would it be to large a footprint to tromp on my Lighthead-brethren by doing so ? Thoughts ?

For all who would help me on this question - do you think the story '2nd clues' in purple and blue above format be a good seperate thread, or replace this one with ? - knowing that new method of clue in metaphor could be very difficult to apply to a number of songs, and likely even more difficult to decipher, subject to the veracity and clarity of the clue given.... -and be dealt just one-at-a-time one until ppl got it, then either pass-the-deal so to speak to 'who got it', and we rotate the clue giving ? Thoughts from all quizzer gamers and others who happen to 'view-only' this... - which combo, or one or the other, would be the right idea to go on with ? I welcome all opinions from everyone and anyone.

Well for now, CONGRATULATIONS!,CHAR, that leaves only the last clue - the deep blue '2nd clue' above, Q234 from Dave in Melbourne -'down under' to reply to at the end of the list of 10. Thanks Char, for responding to that out-of-kilter clue...lol
