Musical Monday #106

Welcome to the 106th edition of Musical Monday, the weekly quiz that Soccer Dad and I alternate hosting. As always, the challenge is to identify the title and artist of each song quote below, as well as the common theme of the entire set of songs.

If it were a couple of days ago, the obvious theme for this edition would be the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, but I'd guess by now, practically everyone has heard their share of Woodstock tunes and recollections on the radio and TV. So I went elsewhere, to a relevant, but quite a bit less obvious theme. Extra credit to whomever guesses my reason (or comes up with a better one again!) for using the theme this week.

1) "After all I'm forever in your debt"
2) "And you're afraid to let your eyes meet mine"
3) "But it's wisdom born of pain"
4) "Be back before it melts in the pan"
5) "I can sense your needs, like rain on to the seeds"
6) "Over night scenes, dinner and wine, Saturday girls"

10) "Is throw shadows at you"
11) "This is the only way that we should fly"
12) "Temptation falls in your path, no hesitation why you ask"
13) "Oh shucks, I'm just an average guy"
14) "You didn't have to leave me with that beer in my face"
15) "Yes, don't turn your back on me, baby"
16) "There's a hole in my head where the rain comes in"
17) "I can see me a tall dark stranger, giving you what you hadn't planned"
18) "Crazy laughter in another room"
19) "Pick up the pieces and go home"
20) "Sparkle someone else’s eyes"
21) "I don't want much, the good Lord's earth beneath my feet"
22) "Let’s change the mood from glad to sadness"
23) "Rising from the neon gloom, shining like a crazy moon"
24) "I look in your eyes, just like the rain"
25) "Like a country mornin', all snuggled in dew"
26) "I've been livin' on a dead-end street"
27) "Are you lonely just like me?"
28) "Sitting in a nest of bad men"
29) "When your conscience hits, you knock it back with pills"
30) "Time goes by and you're sharing an apartment"
31) "I know many fine feathered friends"
32) "Rags, the sailor's only daughter, a child of the water"
33) "There was a time when you needed someone to count on"
34) "But if they get a chance they'll end it for sure"
35) "I turn away from the wall, I stumble and fall"
36) "There's a band of gold that shines waiting"
37) "He'd give up all his comfort, sleep out in the rain"
38) "And every time it happens, it just convinces me more"
39) "Hear every thought, see every dream"

43) "Never runnin' in the streets, leavin' me alone"
44) "She can make the birds sing harmony"
