I listen to many different types of music: R&B, rap, folk, rock, and more. I could see many of these titles creating wonderful songs in all sorts of different genres. Which musical genres would you put them into?
1. Temple of a Thousand Faces by John Shors
2. Crooked Little Heart by Anne Lamott
3. Hello, I Love You by Katie M. Stout
4. The Rattle-Rat by Janwillem van de Wetering
5. The Noise of Infinite Longing by Luisita López Torregrosa
6. The Bagel Sandwich Bang by Oliver Clozov
7. I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb
8. A Crack in the Edge of the World by Simon Winchester
9. The Day Lincoln Was Shot by Jim Bishop
10. The Song of Kahunsha by Anosh Irani
The Bagel Sandwich Bang is such a fun, unique title. I can definitely see it being a quirky song title.
Thank you!
You’ve got me humming: Hello I Love You Won’t You Tell Me You’re Name by the Doors. Good choices. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/11/ttt-111020.html
Heh, thanks. I left a comment on your post one minute ago!
Thanks
Great list! I particularly love No. 5, it feels to me like it’d make a beautiful title track of a movie soundtrack (probably a movie of the same name!)
I hear you there. 🙂
I think these titles would definitely fit a wide range of genres 😃 I can see some punk, some alternative, some pop, some eclectic sounds… I would definitely give some of these a listen! Lol great list, Lydia 🙂
Heh, thank you!
These would all be such fun song titles! I can see The Bagel Sandwich Bang being a fun pop-punk song, and The Noise of Infinite Longing would be such a nice indie song, like I can already hear someone like Bon Iver singing it 🙂
Awesome! And agreed about Bon Iver singing that one.
Fab choices!
Thank you.
I like all of those titles actually! Some of them are so quirky?? I don’t know how to explain it but I really dig it.
Thank you very much. 🙂
A Crack in the Edge of the World and Temple of a Thousand Faces would both make awesome song titles! I would definitely listen to those if they were songs. Great TTT. 😊
Thank you!
Hello I Love You is a song by The Doors, they did a cover of it on Glee I think! The Bagel Sandwich Bang is such a cool title 🙂
My TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2020/11/10/top-ten-tuesday-289/
I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know.
This is really going to show my age, but Roxette had a song called Joyride and it opened with “Hello, you fool, I love you.” I immediately started singing it when I read that title. Ha! Great list!
Oh, that’s so cool!
Excellent thought-provoking titles. Temple of a Thousand Faces for something epic. Crooked Little Heart for something sad but also funny. The Noise of Infinite Longing and I Know This Much when pining for love.
Thank you! And agreed.
Great picks! And I love that picture of the singing bird you included. That’s a very happy picture.
Aww, thanks. I’m glad you liked it.
OMG! I’m laughing my socks off at some of those choices, Lydia! I mean, come on, The Bagel Sandwich Bang? That would be great as a US-blues number, right?
Yes, absolutely! I’m glad I amused you.
Ha – are there any other responses but Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’ to I Know This Much is True?
Probably not! LOL.
The Noise of Infinite Longing sounds like a song the would be either angsty or really relaxing. Great picks!
I agree. And thanks.
What a great list! Crooked Little Heart and A Crack in the Edge of the World would make amazing song titles.
Thank you!
The Noise of Infinite Longing sounds like it would be a haunting ballad. Happy TTT!
Thank you! I’m glad you think so.
Great list! Crooked Little Heart sounds like a country song.
🙂
The Bagel Sandwich Bang?! *laughs forever* However did you find out about that one?
The Day Lincoln Was Shot sounds like Lumineers song, and Crooked Little Hearts makes me think of Tori Amos. Great choices, as per usual!
Heh, it took a ton of searching online to find.
And thanks.
I KNow This Much Is True reminded me of True by Spandau Ballet.
Oh, neat!
Cool picks! “Crooked Little Heart” by Anne Lamott is giving me a Paramore vibe. The Bagel Sandwich Bang’s music video would probably go viral.
Thank you. And I’m sure that video would go viral.
Crooked Little Heart and Hello, I love you have just been added to my list of to read. Nice list and the do all sound like good song titles.
Thank you. Happy reading!
I think A Crack In The Edge Of The World would make a great indie rock song!
Agreed!
“Hello, I love you” is a song by The Doors. (“Hello, I love you, won’t you tell me your name?”)
Here’s my TTT list this week.
Oh, I had no idea. How lovely. 🙂
I hear Bagel Sandwich Bang like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEtbfzMLVWU [Stray Cat Strut] But, now I have the Doors in my mind….lol “Hello, I Love You” blasted from my brother’s bedroom for a year at least! lol
Heh, that’s awesome! And, yeah, it would totally have that sort of feel.
Lots of great choices here and for some reason I can vividly imagine them as falling into the alternative rock category.
Thank you. I like the way you think.
These are definitely unique titles – for books and songs! I think Crooked Little Heart is my fave.
Happy TTT!

Thanks. Happy TTT to you as well!
There’s a whole lotta of punk rock feelings coming off your chosen titles. I love it!
Heh, thanks.
Temple of a Thousand Faces and A Crack in the Edge of the World would make amazing song titles for sure! Darn, now I’m going to have Spandau Ballet in my head all day…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR8D2yqgQ1U
Awesome!
I can hear Crooked Little Heart as a companion song to Pretty Little Head by Eliza Rickman. 🙂
Cool!
I totally feel like I can hear so many of these. Great list!
Thank you!
Crooked Little Heart would be areally good song title. 😍 I’ll check out these books too, they sound really interesting.
Happy reading! And thanks.
Temple of a Thousand Faces would make a great title. Would have been one for David Bowie.
I have also read I know this much is true, brilliant book as anything by href=”http://momobookblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Author%3A%20Wally%20Lamb”>Wally Lamb/a>. I’ll check out your review. Alwyas nice to talk about books we read.
Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.
By the way, the link you left, doesn’t work.
Thanks for letting me know. I feel like the link I left on your last TTT post didn’t work either? (Or maybe I’ve mixed you up with someone else?) Either way, I’ll do my best to get to the bottom of it.
I’m glad you liked I Know This Much Is True.
Loving the list! I really need Lin-Manual Miranda to do a song for The Day Lincoln was Shot.
That would be awesome. And thanks.
These would make some really interesting song choices. Have a great week.
Thanks! You, too.
I’m getting punk rock vibes from The Day Lincoln Was Shot. Great choices, Lydia!
Thank you!
Those titles sound so good as song titles. It made me hum just reading the titles.
Yay!
These all would be wonderful songs!
Thank you.
These are all really good picks and are definitely songs I’d listen to. Rattle Rat sounds like it would have been some 15 minute 70’s rock opus from a band like Jefferson Airplane.
Thank you very much.
The Rattle-Rat is such a great title—I’d love to hear that song!
So glad you thought so!
Wow, you’ve got a lot of great choices here! I love them all. I think my favorites, though, are Temple of a Thousand Faces and A Crack in the Edge of the World. Talk about titles that grab you!
Aww, thanks.
