"Superman" - Rachel Platten

If I could break away

Half of all your pain

I'd take the worst of it

And carry you like you carry me

 

You say that you're alright

When tears are in your eyes

We're strong enough for this

And I need you

It's okay that you need me

 

So put your armor on the ground tonight

Cause everyone's got to come down sometimes

 

[CHORUS:]

You don't have to be Superman

You don't have to be Superman

You don't have to hold the world in your hands

You've already shown me that you can

Don't have to be Superman

 

I know I've been gone too much

We talk about me too much

I'm selfish and distracted

But I'm here

I'm here and I'm listening

 

And It's just you and me

And these four walls

And we are only human after all

 

[CHORUS]

 

Rest your eyes now

Take my hand

Even heroes fall down now and then

You can let it go

 

You don't have to be Superman

You don't have to be Superman

You don't have to hold the world in your hands

You've already shown me that you can

Don't have to be Superman

 

You don't have to be Superman

"To The Grave" - The Pierces

 

Is it any wonder, cue the thunder

It's raining on me

This is getting frightening

There's the lightning

Striking the trees

Fire in the sky

 

Please, before they take me

Come and shake me out of this dream

Find myself alone

And chilled to the bones inside of me

Fire in the sky

 

[CHORUS:]

And our hearts beat on like a drum

Death will inevitably come

We are all helpless to the song

Marching us all to our graves

Marching us all to the grave

 

I knew it was coming

Now it's running faster than me

I cannot avoid this

There is one kiss waiting on me

Fire in the sky

 

[CHORUS]

(x2)

 

It is all just a mystery

Who knows what will become of me

Death will come inevitably

Marching us all to our graves

Marching us all to the grave

Marching us all to our graves

 

Some people call it tragic

But it's magic waiting on me

"Mountain at My Gates" - Foals

 

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

What I give, it takes away

Whether I go or when I stay

 

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

I see a fire out by the lake

I'll drive my car without the brakes

 

I see a mountain in my way

It's looming larger by the day

I see a darkness in my fate

I'll drive my car without the brakes

 

Oh, give me some time

Show me the foothold

From which I can climb

Yeah, when I feel low

You show me the signpost

For where I should go

 

I see a mountain at my gates

I see it more and more each day

And my desire wears a dark dress

But each day I see you less

 

Oh, give me some time

Show me the foothold

From which I can climb

Yeah, when I feel low

You show me the signpost

For where I should go

 

Through lanes and stone rows

Black granite, wind blows

Fire lake and far flame

Go now but come again

Dark clouds gather round

Will I run or stand my ground

 

Oh, when I come to climb

Show me the mountain so far behind

Yeah, it's farther away

Its shadow gets smaller day after day

 

Yeah, give me my way

Give me my love

Give me my choice

You keep me coming around

 

Give me my fate

Give me my lungs

Give me my voice

You keep me coming around

 

Give me my lungs

Give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my

Give me my, give me my, give me my, give me my

Give me my way

 

Give me my fate

Give me my lungs

Give me my choice

You keep me coming around

"Pretty Bird "- Jhené Aiko

 

Yes

This is all I have left in me

 

Said she had just self expressed

Herself to death

Now nothing's left

Nothingness

She finessed it

She the best

 

And I said

And I said

Pretty bird

And I said

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Sounds so pretty when you cry

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

You're so pretty

But why I never see you fly

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Please don't die

Please don't die

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

I know you're hurting

Well so am I

So am I

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Please don't cry

You can fly

 

And there's a blinding light inside of you

There's a blinding light inside of you

And they cannot deny you

They cannot deny you

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Please don't die

Please don't die

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Please don't die

Please don't die

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Sounds so pretty when you cry

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

I know you're hurting

Well so am I

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird

Please don't die

Please don't cry

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

We need your life

We need your life

 

The city heard

The sounds of a pretty bird

Yelling from Slauson to 53rd

What happens if you holla and can't be heard

For the birds and the drama

I paint these words

 

They say through the pain is how we learn

You landed on the window of pain

Simple and plain

It's hard for you to fly in the rain

The way love goes is not the way that it came

Come fly

Un-die

Be born again

 

I've seen the strongest of them be torn from men

Ripped apart and get put back together

Them the ones with the most beautiful feathers

Let's flock together, rock together, Nirvana

A birds persona to be free and honor the sky

That's when you really most high

Unafraid of the unknown and now we know why

 

Pretty bird, pretty bird

Pretty bird

"What a Day" - Greg Laswell

 

What a day to be alive

What a day to realize I'm not dead

What a day to save a dime

What a day to die trying

 

What a way to say goodbye

What a wonderful life, now all a lie

What a way that you survive

What a day to say goodnight

 

Bring on the evening hours, I cry

Bring on the evidence of my life

 

What a day to give a damn

What a day for Gone With The Wind

And what a day to start again

What a day to give up

 

Bring on the evening hours, I cry

Bring on the evidence of my life

Bring on the evening hours, I cry

Bring on the evidence of my life

 

Where to go

Where to go from here

I don't know

Where to go

Where to go from here

I don't know

I don't know

 

What a day to visit Seattle

What a day for San Francisco

What a day, holy Toledo

What a day to get in the air and go

 

What a day to give up smoking

What a day to absorb Jim Beam

And what a day to welcome a baby

And to begin breathing

 

To begin breathing

"Stop The Bus"

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals

 

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSAVn-3aKx11Y8cVIy81ozYds1hGJ7nAIOMPz4waHVbASURANQP

 

We've been driving since the winter

The destination doesn't change

You know I can still remember

The day you asked me for my name

 

You are the rock on the riverbed

Growing smoother every year

You are the voice inside my head

I can't believe that you got me here

 

Stop the bus and turn the radio up high

And grab the first guitar you see

And get out the old flare gun

And throw it to the sky

Tonight you're sleeping next to me

 

You give me something to remember

Each time you look into my eyes

You see through my trouble and my temper

And you call me out on every lie

 

Stop the bus and turn the radio up high

And grab the first guitar you see

And get out the old flare gun

And throw it to the sky

Tonight you're sleeping next to me

"Waiting For Nothing" - Sparklehorse

 

Stayed up all night

Lightning bugs were bright

And the air turned cold and black

A turtle trapped on its back

 

And waiting for nothing

Waiting for nothing

I'm waiting for nothing

I'm waiting for nothing

 

Rising from the earth

Measuring my worth

And the fog gets thick and wet

Gonna get worse I bet

 

I'm waiting for nothing

I'm waiting for nothing

I'm waiting for nothing

"Most of the Time" - Josh Canova

 

Well, if I knew then what I know now

Things would be different

But what can I say

It happens like this most of the time for me

 

If I could be sure things would go well

Just like the people in movies

I would go home and I would wash up

And I would come over to your house

 

But most of the time

I'm walking with cement shoes

And most of the time

You're walking too close to me

And most of the time

I'm counting the rest of this year

There's nowhere to go

So why can't I get there from here

 

There's nothing to say

There's nothing to win

It's just the way it is

I'd like to be brave

I'd like to make up

I just can't do it again

 

If I could be sure that we would have trust

Just like two people in Kansas

I would go home and I would wash up

And I would come over to your house

 

But most of the time

I'm walking with cement shoes

And most of the time

You're walking right next to me

And most of the time

I'm counting the rest of this year

There's nowhere to go

So why can't I get there from here

 

So why can't I get there from here

 

But what can I say

It happens like this most of the time for me

 

And most of the time

I'm walking with cement shoes

And most of the time

I'm counting the rest of this year

 

There's nowhere to go

So why can't I get there from here

Why can't I get there from here

 

Why can't I get there from here

"Magpie to the Morning" - Neko Case

 

Magpie comes a-calling

Drops a marble from the sky

Tin roof sounds alarming

Wake up, child

 

"Let this be a warning"

Says the magpie to the morning

"Don't let this fading summer pass you by

"Don't let this fading summer pass you by"

 

Black hands held so high

The vulture wheels and dives

Something on the thermals

Yanked his chain

 

He smelled your boring apex

Rotting on the train tracks

He laughed under his breath

Because you thought that you could outrun sorrow

 

Take your own advice

This thundering and lightning gets you rain

You run an airtight mission, a Cousteau expedition

To find a diamond at the bottom of the drain

A diamond at the bottom of the drain

 

Mockingbird sings

In the middle of the night

All his songs are stolen

So he hides

 

He stole them out from whippoorwills

And screaming car alarms

He sings them for you special

He knows you're afraid of the dark

 

Come on, sorrow, take your own advice

Hide under the bed, turn out the light

Stars this night in the sky are ringing out

You can almost hear them saying

 

Close your eyes now, kid

Close your eyes now, kid

Morning's teeth are lit

They are waiting

Waiting

 

They are waiting

"What You've Been Looking For"

Rosie Carney

 

No one knows what lies ahead

Don't try too hard to see

Close your eyes and go with it

And try to let it be

 

You will find what you've been looking for

You will find what you've been looking for

It won't hide, it won't hide anymore

You will find what you've been looking for

 

"Be yourself", she said to me

"Make sure your voice is heard

"Be as free as you want to be"

And I'll always stand by those words

 

And I will find what I've been looking for

I will find what I've been looking for

It won't hide, it won't hide anymore

I will find what I've been looking for

"Like a Road Leading Home"

 

Albert King

https://youtu.be/tyEfMew61Qo

 

Jerry Garcia Band

 

C4-mwOUUcAIZc0N.jpg

 

When the road gets too long

And you run all out of song

And the pain gets too much

For you to bear

 

[CHORUS:]

Turn around, turn around

Turn around

And I'll be there

Like a road

Like a road leading home

 

When the storm cloud starts to blow

And you got no place to go

And you need some company

Who really cares

 

[CHORUS]

 

When the days have passed and gone

And that road you're traveling on

Just don't seem to be going

Anywhere

 

Turn around, turn around

Turn around

And I'll be there

Like a road

Like a road leading home

 

Like a road

Like a road leading home

"Move" - Bonnie Tyler

https://youtu.be/F8C-tVdvRuo

 

Move

We've got to move

Time to make a change

We've got to move

Time to rearrange

We've got to move right now

I can't stay in this place

We've got to move

I wanna join the human race

 

We've got to move

I can't stay in this house

We've got to move

Makes me feel like a tiny little mouse

We've got to move right now

Get on outta here

We've got to move

Oh, it drives me to despair

 

Move

Move

Move

Move

 

Well I don't need no interior designer

To may me feel at home

And I don't need no leather back recliner

To lay my body down

Lay my body down

Lay my body down

I need to lay my body down

Lay my body down

 

Tear down the curtains

Kick in the door

Smash up the windows

Dig up the floor

Let's take the roof off

Because I can't stand the smell

It's time to get out

Before it all comes tumbling down

We've got to move

 

We've got to move

It drives me to despair

It drives me crazy

It drives me crazy

It drives me crazy

 

Move

I wanna move

Move

Move

 

We've got to move

It drives me to despair

"I Never Wanted" - Josh Krajcik

 

You're leaving now

With the chips laid out

You know you're everything

You're holding now

But you just wanna lay down and die

 

I never wanted this for you

I never wanted this for you

 

You're hanging now

When the frost line goes

You know you're on your own

To leave it now

To just drink one down and die

 

I never wanted this for you

I never wanted this for you

 

I never wanted this for you

I never wanted this for you

I never wanted this for you

I never wanted this for you

 

:'( :'( :'(

"Trains and Winter Rains" - Enya

 

City streets passing by

Underneath stormy skies

Neon signs in the night

Red and blue city lights

Cargo trains rolling by

Once again someone cries

 

Trains and winter rains

No going back

No going home

Trains across the plains

And in the sky

A star alone

 

Every time it's the same

One more night

One more train

Everywhere empty roads

Where they go

No-one knows

 

Trains and winter rains

No going back

No going home

Trains across the plains

And in the sky

A star alone

"Everybody Wants to Find a Bluebird"

Randy Edelman

 

In our hearts we all have our dreams

And in our minds we all have our schemes

But no matter who you are

We all got our scars to live with

 

Look around and what do you find

Different faces, different minds

But no matter where you go

We're on the same plateau

We all wanna know

 

Where am I ever gonna find a bluebird

Where are we ever gonna find some love

Cause everybody wants to find a bluebird

So go on and look up above

 

Friday's gone, nowhere to go

The weekend's coming

But you don't wanna know

 

Come on, get something on

All hope's not gone

Cause you might find it

You know you might find it

 

You know you might find a bluebird

You know you might find some love

Cause everybody wants to find a bluebird

So go on and look up above

 

Everybody wants to find a bluebird

Everybody wants to find some love

Everybody wants to find a bluebird

So go on and look up above

 

Everybody wants to find a bluebird

Everybody wants to find some love

"Heroes" - David Cook

 

Panda-Bear-Game-For-the-Nintendo-DS-2.jpg

 

As the sun goes down in front of me

It reminds me of where I want to be

With you and you alone

Hold me in like you were made for me

I'm losing faith in gravity

And I just need to let you know

And I just need to let you know

 

[CHORUS:]

I'm not going to come down

Down off of these clouds

All these heroes come and go

But you're still standing

You teach me to rise up

To open my eyes up

All these heroes come and go

But you're still standing

:-*

You're still standing

 

And when the world's confusing

I don't care

I crawl into your atmosphere

I know you'll make it right

You're all I need to know

 

[CHORUS]

 

I believe that you can save me

And you'll never let me fall

I'm not going to come down

I believe in what you've shown me

There's a hero in us all

 

I'm not going to come down

Down off of these clouds

All these heroes come and go

You teach me to rise up

To open my eyes up

All these heroes come and go

But you're still standing

 

I'm not going to come down

I'm not going to come down

All these heroes come and go

All these heroes come and go

"Devil's Time" - Reuben And The Dark

 

Well it came from the water

With a black heart, oh my God

It fell like a sunset

And sank into a fever

 

Well it held my hand

Oh, it had me by the throat

We were coming down

When the sun was just coming up

 

Well, I went walking on the Devil’s time

With nothing but a shadow from the other side

 

[CHORUS:]

Now don’t save my soul

I’ll take my chances on these winding roads

I’ll go wherever the wild wind blows

Cause if I’m gonna die

I wanna die an old ghost

 

When they found me by the water

I was sick and shivering

It was howling in the hills

You could hear it in the wind

 

Well it held me by the hand

No, it had me by the throat

Oh, and we were coming down

As the stars they were just coming out

 

I went walking on the Devil’s time

Oh, with nothing but a shadow from the other side

 

[CHORUS]

(X2)

 

I went walking on the Devil’s time

With nothing but a shadow from the other side

 

Now don’t save my soul

I’ll take my chances on these winding roads

I’ll go wherever the wild wind blows

Cause if I’m gonna die

I wanna die an old ghost

(x2)

 

I went walking on the Devil’s time

With nothing but a warm breeze blowing by and by

"The Tide Will Rise" - Bruce Hornsby

 

Sometimes I get lucky

Most times I come up short

Got to pull up the lines

Oh got to move around the bend

 

They say it's a dying breed

They say it's going to disappear

Nothing I can do

Oh but pull up the load again

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh, the tide will rise

And the tide will fall

We'll be out on the water

Before the break of dawn

And oh, the tide will rise

And the tide will fall

Oh, we'll be working on the water

When the long, long day is gone

 

The full moon it was always best

Keep a little and you sell the rest

Living on hope

Oh, that the seed is sown again

 

Red sky in the evening

Better times are coming they say

Well, why do I feel like

It's all coming to an end

 

[CHORUS]

 

When the seed is broken

Nothing left to grow on

When you lose the seed

Oh, it's hard to bring it on back

 

Never bowed to no one

Always went my own way

Broke down, run around

But I won't run away

 

And the tide will rise

 

The tide will rise

And the tide will fall

We'll be out on the water

Before the break of dawn

The tide will rise

And the tide will fall

Oh, we'll be working on the water

When the long, long day is gone
