I was hunting some music down yesterday and in the process of finding it, I found this music survey. I promptly posted it to Music Memoirs.

So to break the monotony of my posts, I'll do this little survey. It's based on tracks in Winamp/Windows Media Player/Itunes etc.

Too many. My winamp brings up 294 songs, of course some of those are as a result of an album with "love in the title"

Find "peace"; how many songs?
13 songs including What's So Funny (Bout Peace Love and Understanding) versions by Elvis Costello and by Nick Lowe, Pipes of Peace by Paul McCartney and George Harrison's Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth). Not to mention a bunch of Christmas songs.

Find "rain"; how many songs?
18 and oddly The Beatles song isn't on my hard drive, but the Madonna one is. Weird.

Find "sun"; how many songs?
About 25..closer to 40 if you include words like Sunday, Sunrise and Sunset.

If you want to hear any of the songs listed here, let me know and I'll update this post with You Send It download links.
