Twice - Little Dragon

Twice

"Twice I turn my back on you
I fell flat on my face but didn't loose
Tell me where would I go
Tell me what led you on I'd love to know

Was it the blue night
Gone fragile
Was it both men
In wonder steady gone under
Was it the light ways
So frightening
Was it two wills
One mirror holding us dearer now

Thought I had an answer once
But your random ways swept me along
Colossal signs so I got lost
With so many lovers singing soft"

That Moon Song - Gregory Alan Isakov

That Moon Song 

"and you came on strong like some running wave
and your beauty left me broke and hungry
left me begging to the birds for a bone or an offering
left me saying nothin, nothin, like i always say

and ahh that full bellied moon she's a shinin on me
yeah she pulls on this heart like she pulls on the sea

and those broken hearted lovers,
they got nothing on me"

What's the matter / Don't you give up on me - Milo Greene

Oh this man.. I have no words, it's always a pleasure to listen to his music, enjoy those two tracks.

What's The matter

"Oh, your love
Is never good enough
Oh, your love is lost on me
You don't know
You don't know
Oh, your love is lost on me

What's the matter?
What's the matter with you lately?
What's the matter?
What's the matter with you lately?

Dreamer, you will waste your time
Do you ever wonder why
We go on and on and on?
Love is gone and gone and gone"





"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go wherever you go 
and I will never leave without letting you know 

don't you give up on me 
don't you give up on me 

we're told, we're told, we're told we'll never get old so don't you ever show them, show them our bones 
we'll dig, we'll dig, we'll dig our own little hole, then put our walls around it and call it our home 

don't you give up on me. 
don't you give up on me. 

cause you're all I got 
and time won't stop.

I'll go, I'll go, I'll go wherever you go 
I'll go, I'll go, I'll go wherever you go"



Lovely Day - Bill Withers

Lovely Day

"When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind

Then I look at you
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be
A lovely day
Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day"


Up all night - Alex Clare

Heat Lightning - Icky Blossoms

Heat Lightning 

"Heat lightning struck the sky, could only think of you as it was flashing by

And I don't want to be afraid, I want to take you home
Where in the morning I can see your eyes"

Skin / Drive Darling / Little numbers - BOY

I couldn't choose, therefore you can discover 3 superb BOY's songs.

Skin 

"All day long she's waiting for the night to ask her out
To be somebody's dancer, to get lost inside a crowd
There's no need to talk, because the music is so loud,
Till a taxi drives her back into a morning full of doubts.

You can feel like a part of something if you're part of the scene
You can make your life look pretty add a little ice and gin,
Wash off the make-up and prepare the aspirin
Well you can get out of this party dress but you can't get out of this skin."



"And the rear view could picture
What we leave behind
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

Good morning freedom
Good night lullabies
Drive darling, drive darling,
Drive darling, drive darling, drive

And when we arrive
The hardest of goodbyes
You will dry my eyes
Somehow you're always by my side
The one who holds my kite
And watches over all my flights"



"Waited for your call, for the moon 
To release me from the longest afternoon
I've re-arranged parts of my living room
But time is hard to kill since I met you

Looking at the cars that drive on by
While spring is making promise outside
Red cars are quite rare I realize 
Then I wonder which colour you like

Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could do
Woo-oh, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Woo-oh, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you

Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
I can't think of another thing to do
And every song just makes me think of you
Because the singers sounds as if she was longing,
As if she was longing, too

Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart
They could make a change
Make a fire out of this flame

Woo-oh, oh-oh, all the pretty things that we could do
Woo-oh, oh-oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Woo-oh, oh-oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you

I read your name on every wall, on every wall - tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all - tell me
I read your name on every wall, on every wall - tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all"

Be be your love - Rachael Yamagata

Be be your love 


"And everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love, for real
Everybody's talking how I, can't, can't be your love
But I want, want, want to be your love
Want to be your love for real

Everything will be alright
If you just stay the night
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away
Please, sir, don't you walk away, don't you walk away, don't you walk away"

Clementine - Sarah Jaffe

Clementine

"50 states                                                           
50 lines
50 crying all the time's
50 boys
50 lies
50 I'm gonna change my mind's
I changed my mind
I changed my mind
Now I'm feeling different

We were young
We were young
We were young, we didn't care
Is it gone?
Is it gone?
Is it floating in the air?
I changed my mind
I changed my mind
Now I'm feeling different

All that time wasted
I wish I was a little more delicate
I wish my
I wish my
I wish my
I wish my
I wish my name was Clementine"

Heaven - The Walkmen

"Our children will always hear     
Romantic tales of distant years
Our guilty age may come and go
Our crooked dreams will always flow

Stick with me
Oh you're my best friend
All of my life
You've always been

Remember remember
All we fight for
Remember remember
All we fight for"

One day / Reckoning song (Wankelmut Remix) - Asaf Avidan & The Mojos

One day / Reckoning Song

"No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do – I wonder why

You have to go out of my door
And leave just like you did before
I know I said that I was sure
But rich men can't imagine poor.

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told"

Chained - The XX


Chained 

"Separate or combine
I ask you one last time
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

If a feeling appears
If your mind should sway
It's not a secret you should keep
I won't let you slip away

We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?

We used to be closer than this
We used to be closer than this
We used to get closer than this
Is it something you missed?

Winged or chained
I ask you would you have stayed
Did I hold you too tight?
Did I not let enough light in?"


Don't think twice, It's all right - Bob Dylan

Don't think twice, It's all right

Sweet Nothing - Florence Welch ft Calvin Harris

Sweet Nothing

Because sometimes even if it doesn't work, and it's doomed from the beginning: it's better to dance on it. (possibly on this beautiful and challenging track)

"It isn't easy for me to let it go

Cause
I've swallow every single word
And
Every whisper, every sigh
Eats away at this heart of mine
And there is a hollow in me now

So I put my faith in something unknown
I'm living on such sweet nothing
But I'm trying to hope with nothing to hold
I'm living on such sweet nothing
And it's hard to learn
And it's hard to love
When you're giving me such sweet nothing
Sweet nothing, sweet nothing
You're giving me such sweet nothing

And it's not enough
To tell me that you care
When, we both know the words are empty air"

Meteor City - Joe Purdy



Meteor City

"I knew a girl in Meteor City
We used to drive down on Crater Road
And I would hold her hand and she would look pretty
Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
Didn't worry about the things that we just didn't know
And I said oh, Sofia, where'd you get a name like that
Living in this dirt old town
She says "I think she was a movie star my father knew before I was born
But I really don't remember now, he left when I was so young
When I was so young"

The Fall - Rhye

The Fall 

"Uh, my love 
come home to me 
just for a while 
I'll leave this 
why can't you stay? 

Don't run away 
don't slip away my dear 
don't run away, don't slip away my dear 
don't run away 
the song is gone 
the fell into the fall 
but I don't want it this way 
why can't you stay 
Don't run away, don't slip away my dear 
don't run away, don't slip away my dear 
don't run away. 
Ohh ohh "
