"Human" - Daughter

 

Woken up like an animal

Teeth ready for sinking

My mind's lost in the bleak visions

I've tried to escape but keep sinking

 

Limbs lost to a dead-weight stake

Skull cage like a prison

And he's lost faith he'll ever see again

There's some way he once thought of me then

 

Underneath the skin there's a human

Buried deep within there's a human

Despite everything I'm still human

But I think I'm dying here

 

Woken up like an animal

I'm all ready for healing

My mind is lost with nightmares streaming

Woken up kicking and screaming

 

Oh, take me out

Of this place I'm in

Oh, break me out

Of this shell-like case I'm in

 

Underneath this skin there's a human

Buried deep within there's a human

Despite everything I'm still human

 

I think that I'm still human

I think that I'm still human

I think that I'm still human

 

Underneath this skin there's a human

Buried deep within there's a human

And despite everything I'm still human

 

But I think I'm dying here

"Holes In The Sky" - M83

 

Arms to the ground

Far from the rivers

Grace in our tears

High on a fever

 

Somebody heal me from my pain

I'm reaching closer

My stars dive lower

Filling up lost memories

 

Holes in the sky

Pierced by the fire

Somebody tell me this is real

 

Hands to the sky

I am a dreamer

We build the hope

We are believers

 

Somebody free me from my chains

I'm reaching closer

My stars dive lower

Filling up my memories

 

Holes in the sky

Pierced by the fire

Somebody pull me from the dark

 

Arms to the ground

Far from the rivers

Somebody heal me from my pain

 

Hands to the sky

I am a dreamer

Somebody free me from my chains

"Along The Road" - Dan Fogelberg

 

Joy at the start

Fear in the journey

Joy in the coming home

A part of the heart

Gets lost in the learning

Somewhere along the road

 

Along the road

Your path may wander

A pilgrim's faith may fail

Absence makes the heart grow fonder

Darkness obscures the trail

 

Cursing the quest

Courting disaster

Measureless nights forebode

Moments of rest

Glimpses of laughter

Are treasured along the road

 

Along the road

Your steps may stumble

Your thoughts may start to stray

But through it all a heart held humble

Levels and lights your way

 

Joy at the start

Fear in the journey

Joy in the coming home

A part of the heart

Gets lost in the learning

Somewhere along the road

 

Somewhere along the road

Somewhere along the road

"The Best And The Worst" - Leona Lewis

 

It's been one too many days wondering what I did wrong

One too many days hoping to hear the phone

One too many days feeling all alone

Maybe it's time for me to move on

 

So I'm taking the hurt, the bruises and wounds

The stones from the wreckage to build something new

Sometimes a lie makes you search for the truth

Sometimes the worst brings the best out of you

Ooh, sometimes the worst brings the best out of you

 

All this emptiness is space for me to breathe again

Loneliness is finding my own freedom

Through the shame I taught myself to walk with grace

One day you'll regret those heartless things you said

 

So I'm taking the hurt, the bruises and wounds

Tearing it down, down to build something new

Sometimes a lie makes you search for the truth

Sometimes the worst brings the best out of you

 

I won't look back, I'll wish you well

Oh, I lost my way but found myself

 

I'm taking the hurt, the bruises and wounds

Tearing it down to build something new

Sometimes a lie makes you search for the truth

Sometimes the worst brings the best out of you

Ooh, sometimes the worst brings the best out of you

 

Ooh, sometimes the worst brings the best out of you

"White Birds" - The Waterboys

 

 

I would that we were, My Beloved

White birds on the foam of the sea

Far from the rose and the lily

And the threat of the flames would we be

 

For the flame of the blue star of twilight

Hung low on the rim of the sky

Has a-waked in our hearts, My Beloved

A sadness that may never die

A sadness that may never die

 

A weariness comes from those dreamers

Dew-dabbled the lily and the rose

Oh, dream of them not, My Beloved

The flame of the meteor that glows

 

Oh, the flame of the blue star that lingers

Hung low in the fall of the dew

For I would we were changed, My Beloved

To white birds on the foam

I and you

Two white birds on the foam

I and you

 

Bend low that I may crown you

Flower of the branch

Silver fish my hands have taken

From the running stream

 

Morning star

Trembling in the heavens

Like a white fawn

On the borders of the wood

 

Bend that I may crown you

That I may crown you

For the flame of the blue star of twilight

Hung low on the rim of the sky

Has a-waked in our hearts, My Beloved

A sadness that may never die

 

And far from the rose and the lily

And the threat of the flames would we be

Were we only white birds, My Beloved

White birds on the foam of the sea

 

White birds on the foam of the sea

A Northern Chorus  - "Watershed Divide (instrumental)"

 

[[Lo...]]

A Northern Chorus - Canadian Shield

 

 

Don't focus on the static distraction

Or how it pulls you into its arms

Just give me some kind of reaction

Before it freezes both our hearts

We're standing behind the Canadian shield

Basking in the half-light

We'll try to conjure a peace that remains concealed

And keep on fighting the good fight

 

Then it's all broken up by the dawn

Splintered into majesty and torn into awe

Awakened by the timelessness of it all

And how the night just succumbs to universal law

"Whisper" - A Fine Frenzy

Running the race

Like a mouse in a cage

Getting nowhere but I'm trying

Forging ahead

But I'm stuck in the bed that I made

So I'm lying

 

But if you keep real close

Yeah, you stay real close

I will reach you

 

[CHORUS]

I'm down to a whisper

In a daydream on a hill

Shut down to a whisper

Can you hear me still

 

Eager to please

Trying to be what they need

But I'm so very tired

I've stopped trying to find

Any peace in my mind

Because it tangles the wires

 

But if you keep real close

Yeah, you stay real close

I will reach you

 

[CHORUS]

 

The sound tires on my lips

To fade away into forgetting

 

I'm down to a whisper

In a daydream on a hill

Shut down to a whisper

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

 

I'm down to a whisper

In a daydream on a hill

Shut down to a whisper

Can you hear me

Can you hear me still

"Lost Bird" - Syd Matters

 

Small lies, tiny heart

Your journey has worn you out

I see nothing but shame in your smile

A lost bird's flying high

 

Old face, tired ears

Wrong turnings and souvenirs

I see hundreds of memories when you sigh

A lost bird remembers

 

Come on, choose a day

To say what you have to say

To ask me to come and play in the clouds

I'm a lost bird in a clear sky

 

Slow down, need a rest

We'll settle around your nest

I thought I could be your guest

For a while

 

I've had my wings for rent

I fly by accident

I've never been a saint

It's a lie

 

Come on, give a hand

Welcome me as a friend

Free to come back again anytime

I'm a lost bird in a clear sky

"Far Across The Land" - Eurielle

 

Far across the land

There I'll find my home

If you'll take my hand

Guide me as I roam

 

I have walked a thousand miles

To find where I belong

Searched the world and all its isles

But still I wander on

 

Far across the land

Waiting there for me

All I ever planned

Just as I had dreamed

I've been lost for far too long

I need to find my way

Trying hard to carry on

But still feel far away

 

Far across the land

There I'll find my home

If you'll take my hand

Guide me as I roam

 

Far across the land

Waiting there for me

All I ever planned

Just as I had dreamed

 

Give me strength to believe

When I'm losing faith

Help me past the darkness

In my mind

 

Far across the land

There I'll find my home

If you'll take my hand

Guide me as I roam

 

Far across the land

Waiting there for me

All I ever planned

Just as I had dreamed

"When It All Falls Down"

Nikitch Ft. Andreya Triana

 

I'm going round in circles cause I'm chasing dreams

These runaway fantasies are in my head

Trying to break free

They're knocking down my heart

Pushing at my feet

 

Though I walk alone I've got to break away

I'm running up this road until my soles ache

One step forward, one step back

No turning corners

And there ain't no turning back

 

[CHORUS:]

I keep holding on

I will be strong

When the colors drown

The colors drown

I know it won’t be long

And I'm moving on

When it all falls down

It all falls down

 

Climbing mountains each and every day

Sure as the sun there must come rain

Dark clouds ahead, nothing stays the same

Time's moving forward

And there's beauty in the pain

 

When everything's uncertain and nothing's set in stone

I'm falling through the dark waiting for the glow

Holding on to visions, reaching for a hand

The voice within me saying

Try the best you can

 

Though dark shadows may follow

Tearing out my soul

I keep going till tomorrow

That's all I know

(x4)

 

I keep holding on

I will be strong

When the colors drown

The colors drown

I know it won’t be long

I'm moving on

When it all falls down

It all falls down

 

Though dark shadows may follow

Tearing out my soul

I keep going till tomorrow

That's all I know

 

That's all I know

All I know

"Two" - Sleeping At Last

 

 

Sweetheart, you look a little tired

When did you last eat

Come in and make yourself right at home

Stay as long as you need

 

Tell me, is something wrong

If something's wrong, you can count on me

You know I'll take my heart clean apart

If it helps yours beat

 

It's okay if you can't find the words

Let me take your coat

And this weight off of your shoulders

 

[CHORUS]

Like a force to be reckoned with

A mighty ocean or a gentle kiss

I will love you with every single thing I have

Like a tidal wave I'll make a mess

Or calm waters if that serves you best

I will love you without any strings attached

 

It's okay if you can't catch a breath

You can take the oxygen

Straight out of my own chest

 

I know exactly how the rule goes

Put my mask on first

No, I don't want to talk about myself

Tell me where it hurts

 

I just want to build you up

Build you up till you're good as new

And maybe one day

I will get around fixing myself too

 

I don't even know where to start

Already tired of trying

To recall when it all fell apart

 

I just want to love you,

To love you, to love you well

I just want to learn how

Somehow to be loved myself

 

Like a force to be reckoned with

A mighty ocean or a gentle kiss

I will love you without any strings attached

And what a privilege it is to love

A great honor to hold you up

 

Like a force to be reckoned with

A mighty ocean or a gentle kiss

I will love you with every single thing I have

Like a tidal wave I'll make a mess

Or calm waters if that serves you best

I will love you without any strings attached

 

I will love you

Without a single string attached

” Little Girl Blue”

Janis Joplin

 

 

"Little Girl Blue"

 

Sit there, hmm, count your fingers.

What else, what else is there to do ?

Oh and I know how you feel,

I know you feel that you're through.

Oh wah wah ah sit there, hmm, count,

Ah, count your little fingers,

My unhappy oh little girl, little girl blue, yeah.

 

Oh sit there, oh count those raindrops

Oh, feel 'em falling down, oh honey all around you.

Honey don't you know it's time,

I feel it's time,

Somebody told you 'cause you got to know

That all you ever gonna have to count on

Or gonna wanna lean on

It's gonna feel just like those raindrops do

When they're falling down, honey, all around you.

Oh, I know you're unhappy.

 

Oh sit there, ah go on, go on

And count your fingers.

I don't know what else, what else

Honey have you got to do.

And I know how you feel,

And I know you ain't got no reason to go on

And I know you feel that you must be through.

Oh honey, go on and sit right back down,

I want you to count, oh count your fingers,

Ah my unhappy, my unlucky

And my little, oh, girl blue.

I know you're unhappy,

Ooh ah, honey I know,

Baby I know just how you feel.

” Words Are Dead”

Agnes Obel

 

 

"Words Are Dead"

 

I wanna buy you roses

'Cause the words are dead,

Follow in the blindness

On the arrow head

'Cause the words are dead

And you know it

Yeah the words are dead

Lower them down

 

Didn't know if you could

Deny the dead,

Leaving them in silence

On their mouldy bed

Oh I am numb

And over

Their kingdom come

Lower me down

 

They are dead, they are dead

Oh, don't cry for me,

Oh, don't cry for me,

Oh, don't cry for me,

Oh, don't you cry for me

 

Lower them down in the ground

Lower them down in the ground

” Yesterday”

Eva Cassidy

 

 

"Yesterday"

 

Oh yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

 

Suddenly, I'm not half the girl I used to be.

There is a shadow hanging over me

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.

 

Why he had to go, I don't know,

He wouldn't say.

Oh I said some things wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

 

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

 

Why he had to go, I don't know,

He wouldn't say.

I said some things wrong,

Now I long for yesterday.

 

Yesterday

Love was such an easy game to play.

Now I need a place to hide away.

Oh, I believe in yesterday.

” Up To The Mountain”

Patty Griffin

 

 

"Up To The Mountain”

 

I went up to the mountain

Because you asked me to

Up over the clouds

To where the sky was blue

I could see all around me

Everywhere

I could see all around me

Everywhere

 

Sometimes I feel like

I've never been nothing but tired

And I'll be walking

Till the day I expire

Sometimes I lay down

No more can I do

But then I go on again

Because you ask me to

 

Some days I look down

Afraid I will fall

And though the sun shines

I see nothing at all

Then I hear your sweet voice, oh

Oh, come and then go, come and then go

Telling me softly

You love me so

 

The peaceful valley

Just over the mountain

The peaceful valley

Few come to know

I may never get there

Ever in this lifetime

But sooner or later

It's there I will go

Sooner or later

It's there I will go

 

❤️❤️❤️

Air Formation - Suzanne (Moose Cover)

 

Moose - Suzanne BBC 1 Peel Session 1991

 

Moose - Suzanne (Live at the Marquee)

 

Moose - Suzanne (original)

 

Everytime I see Suzanne

She looks sweet, she looks sad

I run as far as I can go

Feeling so

 

To where I dug myself a hole

Pictures of her that I stole

There's no darkness I have found

She's all around

 

She walks all over me and

I can't take it from her

She goes where she knows to

Only seems that she don't know

 

She may come and she may go

She may sacrifice this clone

As the darkness has to sound

All around

 

Everytime I see Suzanne

She looks sweet, she looks sad

I run as far as I can go

Feeling so

 

She walks all over me and

I can't take it from her

She goes where she feels to

Only seems that she don't know

Issues - Julia Michaels

 

 

[Verse 1]

I'm jealous, I'm overzealous

When I'm down I get real down

When I'm high I don't come down

But I get angry, baby, believe me

I could love you just like that

And I can leave you just as fast

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

But you don't judge me

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

No, you don't judge me

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

 

[Chorus]

'Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too

So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you

Bask in the glory, of all our problems

'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues

And one of them is how bad I need you

 

[Verse 2]

You do shit on purpose

You get mad and you break things

Feel bad, try to fix things

But you're perfect, poorly wired circuit

And got hands like an ocean

Push you out, pull you back in

 

Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause you don't judge me

'Cause if you did, baby, I would judge you too

No, you don't judge me

'Cause you see it from the same point of view

 

[Chorus]

'Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too

So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you

Bask in the glory, of all our problems

'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues

And one of them is how bad I need you

 

[bridge]

I got issues, you got 'em too

And one of them is how bad I need you

I got issues, you got 'em too

 

[Chorus]

'Cause I got issues, but you got 'em too

So give 'em all to me and I'll give mine to you

Bask in the glory, of all our problems

'Cause we got the kind of love it takes to solve 'em

Yeah, I got issues (I got)

And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)

Yeah, I got issues (I got issues)

And one of them is how bad I need you (You got 'em too)

Yeah, I got issues (I got)

And one of them is how bad I need you

Trespassers William - Safe, Sound

 

 

I forget, tell me again what do you want

You'll be close, not close enough

Not close enough for my kind of heart

You say words you can't take back used to be love

Now it's words hard to look at

Hard to look at with the lights on

In your head it must not sound so bad

Or why would you say it when you know I feel it

Whistles through my bones

Alone in a love

The one that we started

The one that you ended with some words

Why'd I start before you said

"I checked it out, it's safe and sound"

Like I showed you right away

All the things that eyes can say

Where you are it must not look so bad

Or why would you do it when you know I feel it

And my eyes are not afraid to cry their way

Through all you say

I think that we ended, I know that we started

I think that we ended

"How Many Lives To Go" - Chaka Khan

 

When darkness falls

And only madness remains

Will no one hear

The voice that cries in pain

 

How many lives to go

Before it's over

How can we stand

And watch again

 

Remember now

We've seen it all before

The sound of hate

The monstrous face of war

 

How many lives to go

Before it's over

Must we allow

One sorrow more

 

Say a prayer

That love will show

The heart of man

Which way to go

 

No heart no more

Nothing but dark despair

And empty words

Are not enough to wear

 

How many lives to go

Before it's over

 

What will it take

To lift the veil

And have to face the shame

We almost shared

"Help Me Through This" - Matchbox 20

 

I wanna stand on the tallest mountain

I wanna scream what I cannot name

But I don't really wanna be myself today

 

I wanna run on an open highway

I wanna walk in the desert wind

I wanna play like I know that I can win

 

I wanna run run away fast as I can

Straight to the edge and fall just a little bit

I'm so afraid I'll never win

I need someone to help me through this

 

So don't tell me this could be the best thing

Don't ask me what I think about it

Hold my hand and give me guidance

Help me through this

 

I wanna dance like there's no one watching

I wanna walk on the razor's edge

I wanna speak until you know just what I said

 

I wanna start at a new beginning

I wanna live like it never ends

And if I fail I wanna do it all again

 

I wanna run run away fast as I can

Straight to the edge and fall just a little bit

I'm so afraid, I'll never win

I need someone to help me through this

 

So don't tell me this could be the best thing

Don't ask me what I think about it

Hold my hand, give me guidance

Help me through this

 

Don't break me, I'm about to lose it

Don't make me, I get so confused

With all the empty conversation

Help me through this

 

So don't tell me this could be the best thing

Don't ask me what I think about it

Hold my hand, give me guidance

Help me through this life

Oh, this life

 

Won't you help me through this life

Come on and help me through this life

Won't you help me through this life

Come on and help me through this

Help me through this

"Magpie" - Beth Orton

 

Magpie, Magpie

I'm sitting here watching the world go by

I wonder do you ever question why

Oh Crow, oh Crow

I'm sitting here wondering what you know

You see more of the day than I could dream

 

And I do not know what to tell you

I do not know what to say to you

I do not know what will set you free

 

But it's a hard, hard fight, a hard, hard fight

And I'm turning this one in, I'm turning this one in

I won't turn back, I've seen the sign

I won't turn back not for anyone

I've seen the sign and I know what is mine

 

What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie

What a lie looks like

What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie

What a lie looks like

 

Bluejay, Bluejay

I don't think you mean quite what you say

I don't think you're the friend you claim to be

Oh Crow, oh Crow

Will you tell me please, tell me please what you know

You have seen more of the world than I could dream

 

I do not know what to tell you

I do not know what to say to you

I do not know what will set you free

 

But it's a hard, hard fight, a hard, hard fight

And I'm turning this one in, I'm turning this one in

I won't turn back, I've seen the sign

I won't turn back not for anyone

I've seen the sign and I know why I'm free

 

What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie

What a lie looks like

What a lie, what a lie, what a lie, what a lie

What a lie looks like

 

Silence me and I won't be here anymore

Silence me and I won't be here anymore

You silence me and I won't be here anymore

Silence me and I won't be here anymore

 

What a lie

What a lie

What a lie

What a lie
