"Broken Parts" - The Maine

 

Well, it isn't getting easier

We are shattered everywhere

No, it isn't getting easier now

But we're not beyond repair

 

And we are brittle, beware

We crack, we tear

Handle with care

Half done entirely

We fall apart

Rebuild, restart

Right where we are

Found wanting everything

 

Fractured in fragments

Us fragile things

Falling to pieces

But we're all the same broken

Fractions and halves

Of some greater thing

Falling to pieces

But we're all the same broken parts

 

But we're all the same broken parts

But we're all the same

 

You can't fall any further

Any further from the floor

So gather up yourself now, love

Just as you were before

 

And we are brittle, beware

We crack, we tear

Handle with care

Half done entirely

We fall apart

Rebuild, restart

Right where we are

Found wanting everything

 

Fractured in fragments

Us fragile things

Falling to pieces

But we're all the same broken

Fractions and halves

Of some greater thing

Falling to pieces

But we're all the same broken parts

 

But we're all the same broken parts

But we're all the same broken parts

 

We fall apart

Rebuild, restart

Right where we are

Found wanting everything

 

Fractured in fragments

Us fragile things

Falling to pieces

But we're all the same broken

Fractions and halves

Of some greater thing

Falling to pieces

But we're all the same broken parts

 

But we're all the same broken parts

But we're all the same broken parts

"Broken Wing" - LeAnn Rimes

 

Today I watched a robin in our front yard

I thought by now that they should all be gone

With winter around the corner and snow on its way

Surely there must be something wrong

 

Then in that old oak tree I finally saw her

Where she sat gazing down upon her mate

And the song that she was singing

Seemed to say "I'll be right here"

"I'd like to go, but your love's made me wait"

 

He's got a broken wing

And that's why he can't fly

She just can't leave him there

So she stays by his side

They're just like you and me

Oh, you should've heard her sing

They won't give up

It's just a broken wing

 

I wish we all could learn what they seem to have found

To love our family when trouble comes around

I'll bet that God saw fit to show them unto me

Him on the ground, her in that tree

 

He's got a broken wing

And that's why he can't fly

She just can't leave him there

So she stays by his side

They're just like you and me

Oh, you should've heard her sing

They won't give up

We won't give up

They won't give up

It's just a broken wing

 

Ooh, it's just a broken wing

"To the Sea"

Seafret ft. Rosie Carney

 

 

A twist, a tale

A rip through my sail

And we're made to watch

The walls fall down

Cause goodbye's too strong

Too strong a word

 

And I'm weak from everything that I'm told

Yes, I'm weak from everything that I'm told

And I'm weak from all the things that I know

 

Do you think of me

When you look to the sea

I know it's hard to grow

When you're pushed to your knees

I know time will pass

Your love it will last

Darling, we will never break

 

A sound, a light

That rips through the night

Now too far away

But when I follow my heart

It leads me to you

 

And I'm weak from everything that I'm told

Yes, I'm weak from everything that I'm told

And I'm weak from all the things that I know

 

Do you think of me

When you look to the sea

I know it's hard to grow

When you're pushed to your knees

I know time will pass

Your love it will last

Darling, we will never break

Never break, Darling

 

Do you think of me

When you look to the sea

I know it's hard to grow

When you're pushed to your knees

I know time will pass

Your love it will last

Darling, we will never break

Darling, we will never break

"Hard Times"

Big Will & The Bluesmen

 

Early this morning

Walking down the road

Rain pouring down on me

My body feels cold

 

Early in the morning

Oh, walking down the road

Well the rain pouring down on me

My body feels so cold

 

There's nobody out here

Point of no return

Just a desolated man

My poor heart burned

 

Nobody out here

At a point of no return

I'm just a desolated man

My poor heart burned

 

Seems that everybody left me

But a devil by my side

Never felt so broken down

Ain't got no place to hide

 

Everybody left me

But a devil by my side

Well I never felt so broken down

I ain't got no place to hide

 

Was up early this morning

I'm walking down the road

Rain pouring down on me

My body feels cold

 

Early in the morning

Walking down the road

Well the rain pouring down on me

My body feels so cold

"The Divide"

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals

 

I'm looking out across the coast

I can’t find the divide

Maybe the ocean is a ghost

Living in the horizon

 

And my heart beats fast

As I count the miles

From the city line

No, I’m not running

Oh, I’m just stealing time

 

And if I don’t go

How will I ever know

What’s on the other side

I can’t tell the wheel from the road

Or the sea from the sky

 

I've gotta find

I've gotta find

Find the divide

 

I drove a lonely distance

Till the road turned to fire

The night’s moving in around me

But I’m not tired

 

Yeah, my heart beats fast

Shadows win the fight against the east

The lines are blurring now

And I can’t tell the lion from the beast

 

Oh, if I don’t go

Then how will I ever know

What’s on the other side

And I can’t tell the wheel from the road

Or the sea from the sky

 

I've gotta find

I've gotta find

Find the divide

 

Oh, and if I don’t go

How will I ever know

What’s on the other side

And I can’t tell the wheel from the road

Or the sea from the sky

 

I've gotta find

I've gotta find

Find the divide

"Seagulls" - The Coral

 

Tighten up your bootlace

And hit the sand hills by the sea

And as the mist fills the canyons

Oh, what could lie ahead for you and me

 

See seagulls fly so high

Hear how they cry

 

What lies behind the sand hills

What lies behind the sea

Are the subtleties of manhood

Forever chasing me

 

Sea forever chasing me

Forever chasing me

Forever chasing me

Forever chasing me

"Believer" - Imagine Dragons

 

First things first

I'm a say all the words inside my head

I'm fired up and tired

Of the way that things have been

The way that things have been

 

Second things second

Don't you tell me what you think that I could be

I'm the one at the sail

I'm the master of my sea

The master of my sea

 

I was broken from a young age

Taking my sulking to the masses

Writing my poems for the few

That look at me, took to me, shook to me, feeling me

Singing from heartache from the pain

Taking my message from the veins

Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty through the ...

 

[CHORUS:]

Pain

You made me a, you made me a

Believer, believer

Pain

You break me down and build me up

Believer, believer

Pain

Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain

My life, my love, my drive, it came from

Pain

You made me a, you made me a

Believer, believer

 

Third things third

Send a prayer to the ones up above

All the hate that you've heard

Has turned your spirit to a dove

Your spirit up above

 

I was choking in the crowd

Building my rain up in the cloud

Falling like ashes to the ground

Hoping my feelings, they would drown

But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing

Inhibited, limited

Till it broke open and it rained down

It rained down like ...

 

[CHORUS]

 

Last things last

By the grace of the fire and the flames

You're the face of the future

The blood in my veins

The blood in my veins

But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing

Inhibited, limited

Till it broke open and it rained down

It rained down like ...

 

Pain

You made me a, you made me a

Believer, believer

Pain

You break me down and build me up

Believer, believer

Pain

Oh let the bullets fly, oh let them rain

My life, my love, my drive, it came from

Pain

You made me a, you made me a

Believer, believer

"Circle Round the Sun"

 

James Taylor

 

B J Thomas 

 

 

Now I love my baby

And she's bound to love me some

Yes, I love my baby

And she's bound to love me some

Now she throws her arms around me

Just like a circle around the sun

 

I lay down last night, Lord

Just to try and take my rest

Yes, I lay down last night, Lord

I was trying to take my rest

But my thoughts they just kept wandering

Like them wild geese in the west

 

Now I know that sunrise, sunrise

It's gonna shine in my back yard someday

I said I know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise

It's gonna shine in my back yard someday

And that winds just bound to rise up

Gonna blow, blow all my blues away

 

Hey, I love my baby

And she's bound to love me some

Hear me say that I love my baby

And she's bound to love me some

Now, she throws her arms around me

Just like a circle around the sun

Still Corners - Black Lagoon

 

 

Turning back into the tide

Watching the beach from the other side

We swim with the moon

To an island in the black lagoon

 

Dreaming as the hours fade away

Watching as the sunlight does the same

Everything we are is on the line

Let's pretend it's not us tonight

 

Can’t get away

Can’t get away

Can’t get away

Can’t get away

 

Running back into the tide

Sapphire eyes up the southern night

We swim with the moon

To an island in the black lagoon

 

Can’t get away

Can’t get away

Can’t get away

Can’t get away

 

An island in the black lagoon

To an island in the black lagoon

To an island in the black, black

To an island in the black, black

 

Can’t get away (x12)

RIDE - Future Love (FULL AUDIO)

 

 

I see you

Are we drunk on morning dew?

'Cause I can't say your name

But you've got me going

Yeah, you've got me going

 

Skies are blue

And I can do anything

And the days seem so long

Now you've got me going

Yeah, you've got me going

 

You had me from the start

Pulling all the stops out

On the down low, secretly

But I think you knew

Your psychology was working on me

 

Infatuated

And doing this all wrong

You've got my number and my name

And you've got me going

Yeah, you've got me going

 

Can I see you every day?

Do you love me like I love you?

Ah, you've got me going

Yeah, you've got me going

 

Ah, oh a future love can never fail

Ah, oh a future love can never fail

 

You've got me going

You've got me going

 

You've got me going

You've got me going

You've got me going

You've got me going

"The Day I Die" - ISLAND

 

Tell my baby I've got to go

Oh, I won't say goodbye

Tell my mother I love her so

Cause this is the day I die

 

The day I die

 

Yeah, I'm ready to see that light

Oh, I won't waste time

Straight to Heaven or Hell

I don't mind

Oh, it's all paradise

 

The day I die

 

You say

I'm never gonna go that way, that way

I say

I'm already on my way today

(x3)

 

I say

I'm already on my way to die

 

The day I die

"Crashing Down" - Beth Hart

 

Hell is on to me

This desert wants a she

Black fire becomes the road

 

Diving down the dark

Gold inside my heart

Black fire begins to blow

 

[CHORUS:]

Yeah, I'm crashing down

And there's no one for miles around

Crashing down

On the road, on the road

On the quiet side of the road

 

I begin to run

Begging for someone

Bring mercy for my soul

 

Too damn tired to breathe

I'm too damn scared to scream

And my will begins to slow

 

[CHORUS]

 

I guess that I just don't know better

Or I'd change my ways

I'd change everything

 

But we all can't live forever

So I'll take my fate

And swallow whole

 

I can hear his heels

The scratching of his tail

He's coming for my gold

 

On his chest it reads

Liars, tramps, and thieves

And my name is big and bold

 

Yeah, I'm crashing down

And there's no one for miles around

Crashing down

On the road, on the road

On the quiet side of the road

 

Say yeah

Say yeah

Say yeah

Yeah

"Our Light Miles" - Iron & Wine

 

What will become of us

Tall trees blow there

In the bone white snow

 

Nothing but night for songs

Old miles still sucking

The warm milk of summer

 

Love in this breath so long

Thrown against stone

We're hard to get happy

 

What will become of us

Salt water knows leaving

Hearts bleed, they're changing

 

Lightning's alive cause it disappears

Feel every tear as it falls away

Falls away, falls away

 

No one looks wrong in rain

Hope builds a house

Too much prayer to tear down

 

Cloud comes our way, so white

Over the hill

Must be light miles of promise

 

What will become of us

"Don't Slip Away" - Kaz Hawkins

 

When you walk this road alone

You've got to hold on to your own

And be yourself

And who you want to be

 

When you're standing face to face

Looking in the mirror

Where there's dead space

Hold on tight

It's not who you really are

 

You're somewhere

Somewhere deep inside

And I know you're hanging on for your life

Yes, I know only too well

You'll fight and get by

 

So don't slip away

Don't slip away

Why?

You're the reason why

 

Oh, this darkness that you feel

Stealing your light like a lightning thief

And running away

And leaving you here alone

 

This is the time to remember when

You once felt like a human among your friends

There's always one of us

To carry your burden through

 

We believe you're somewhere

You're somewhere deep inside

And we know you're fighting for your life

Yes, we know only too well

You'll fight and get by

 

So don't slip away

Don't slip away

Why?

You're the reason why

 

Dn't slip away

Don't slip away

Why?

You're the reason why

 

Dn't slip away

Don't slip away

Why?

You're the reason why

"Redbird" - Warren Barfield

 

 

You don't have to worry

In your time of trouble

I'll be at your window there

Singing this song

 

And I will comfort you

With this love I have for you

I will never leave you alone

 

When your sky trades warmer blues

For colder grey

And everybody that you thought was true

Has flown away

Yea, I'm gonna be your redbird

 

When everything keeps changing

Without any notice

It's hard to know what is

And isn't yours

 

In a weird world

You need a touch of normal

You need to know one thing is sure

 

When your sky trades warmer blues

For colder greys

And everybody that you thought was true

Has flown away

Yea, I'm gonna be your redbird

Your redbird

Your redbird

 

When your sky trades warmer blues

For cold, cold and grey

And everybody that you thought was true

Has flown away

Hey, I'm gonna be your redbird

Yes, I'm gonna be your redbird

Redbird
