björk - hyperballad

we live on a mountain, right at the top. there’s a beautiful view from the top of the mountain. every morning I walk towards the edge, and throw little things off, like car parts, bottles and cutlery, or whatever I find lying around. it’s become a habit, a way to start the day

I go through all this before you wake up, so I can feel happier to be safe up here with you

it’s real early morning, no one is awake. I’m back at my cliff, still throwing things off. I listen to the sounds they make on their way down. I follow them with my eyes till they crash, imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks. when it lands, will my eyes be closed or open?

I go through all this before you wake up, so I can feel happier to be safe up here with you

jeff buckley - lover, you should’ve come over

and maybe I’m too young, to keep good love from going wrong. but tonight, you’re on my mind so you never know…

too young to hold on / too old to just break free and run

always

jimmy eat world - a praise chorus

things are never going to be quite what you want / even at twenty-five you got to start sometime

I’m on my feet / I’m on the floor / I’m good to go / now all I need is just to hear a song I know / I want to always feel like part of this was mine / I want to fall in love tonight

love how uplifting this song is, and a timely reminder of what’s really important. will always have a soft spot for Jimmy Eat World

st. vincent - laughing with a mouth of blood

just like an amnesiac / trying to get my senses back / laughing with a mouth of blood / from a little spill I took / see I traded my plot of land / for a plane to anywhere / and I can’t see the future / but I know it’s got big plans for me

all of my old friends aren’t so friendly / all of my old haunts are now all haunting me 

holed up at the Motel Ritz with a televangelist / at the bottom of a swimming pool / with all the water out of it / I‘m sending consolation prizes / to my next of kin, allies / and I can’t see the future / but I know it’s watching me

all of my old friends aren’t so friendly / all of my old haunts are now all haunting me

charlie lim - there is no love

there is no love / no future in nostalgia / no blessing in brokenness  / only feelings to be guilty of  / but I’m waiting for someone to prove me wrong 

had the good fortune to catch Charlie Lim and Gabriel Lynch at Mosaic… wonderful stuff.

gabriel lynch - such a funny thing

when it rains, these days it pours / and another disaster sharpens up its claws / I’m tired of feeling down / and I’ve not been better since you’ve been around 

and hope / it’s such a funny thing / it can make us strong or overwhelm us with its sting / but I know I’ll get through / now I’m singing to myself when I’m thinking about you 

you, you’re such a funny thing / you could tear me to pieces and leave me sobbing in a sling / but maybe, if I’m good to you / and if I only tell the truth / then maybe, just maybe what you’ll do / is start singing to yourself ‘cause you’re thinking about me too

m83 - midnight city

waiting in the car / waiting for a ride in the dark / at night the city grows / look at the horizon glow

waiting in the car / waiting for a ride in the dark / drinking in the lights / following the neon signs / waiting for a word / looking at the milky skyline / the city is my church / it wraps me in its blinding twilight

waiting in the car / waiting for a ride in the dark

laura marling - my friends

why don’t I see what it is you see? / why can’t I live and just be? / I’m full of guilt

I am full of guilt / you’re very tall / you’re very handsome / you have it all / your skin smells like man / and I

you’ll never know how I ache / you will never know how I ache
