Portishead's remix of their song "Scorn" from their album Trip Hop Reconstruction.

 

 

Best heard through a set of headphones for the subtlety.

” Distant Early Warning”

Rush

 

 

 

“ Distant Early Warning”

 

An ill wind comes arising

Across the cities of the plain

There's no swimming in the heavy water

No singing in the acid rain

Red alert

Red alert

It's so hard to stay together

Passing through revolving doors

We need someone to talk to

And someone to sweep the floors

Incomplete

Incomplete

The world weighs on my shoulders

But what am I to do?

You sometimes drive me crazy

But I worry about you

I know it makes no difference

To what you're going through

But I see the tip of the iceberg

And I worry about you

Cruising under your radar

Watching from satellites

Take a page from the red book

And keep them in your sights

Red alert

Red alert

Left and rights of passage

Black and whites of youth

Who can face the knowledge

That the truth is not the truth

Obsolete

Absolute, yeah

Ohh

The world weighs on my shoulders

But what am I to do?

You sometimes drive me crazy

But I worry about you

I know it makes no difference

To what you're going through

But I see the tip of the iceberg

And I worry about you

The world weighs on my shoulders

But what am I to do?

You sometimes drive me crazy

But I worry about you

I know it makes no difference

To what you're going through

But I see the tip of the iceberg

And I worry about you

”Warm Shadow”

Fink

 

 

“Warm Shadow”

 

What you got goin' on

Behind those eyes closed, holdin' on

I don't want another day to break

Take our, steal our night away

Warm shadow

Warm shadow

Won't you cast yourself on me

What you got in store for me

Keep those eyes closed, next to me

I don't want another day to break

Take our, steal our night away

Warm shadow

Warm shadow

Won't you cast yourself on me

Warm shadow

Warm shadow

Won't you cast yourself on me

Won't you stop breakin' in

Red sky, red light, awakenin'

I don't want another day to break

Take our, steal our night away

Take our, steal our night away

Take our, steal our night away

Take our, steal our night away

Take our, steal our night away

”Keep It Hid”

Robert Plant

 

 

“Keep It Hid”

 

What you gonna do when it's cold outside?

And who'll keep you warm when the sun don't shine?

And who you gonna call when the day is done?

And who you gonna rock when your man is gone?

Now baby take the wine from the lovin' cone

Come on and take your time, don't you spill a drop

Find a little moment, let it be your kid

Keep it to yourself, baby keep it hid

To yourself, baby keep it hid

Keep it yourself, baby keep it hid

To yourself, baby keep it hid

Baby takes her time, like to warm out the sea

See, you've got some trouble in my life in the monarchy

At the edge of the world, when the sun comes up

There's a silver king and a golden cup

Silver key in a golden cup

Silver key in a golden cup

Silver key in a golden cup

Silver king and a gold, oh

” Violin”

Amos Lee

 

 

“ Violin”

 

Lately I,

Ive been heading for a breakdown

Every time I leave my house

Well It feels just like a shake down

Between the street sweepers and the pushers are the lawyers

Who may as well be butchers

Between the small timing hustlers who all seem to feed upon each other

Oh, God, why you been

Hanging out in that ol violin

While Ive been waiting for you,

to pull me through?

Lately I,

Every time I try to lie down

Well my mind just gets away

I cant even close my eyes now

Between the big fish ambition, and the lovers

Using words as ammunition

Between wood planks Ive been pacing endless

Impossible dream that Ive been chasing

Oh God why you been

Hanging out in that ol violin

While Ive been waiting for you,

to pull me through?

Oh, God

Oh, God

Oh, God, why you been

Hanging out in that ol violin

While Ive been waiting for you,

to pull me through?

Oh, God

Oh, God

Oh, God

” Another Year Has Gone By”

Celine Dion

 

 

“ Another Year Has Gone By”

 

So many twenty fifths of December

Just as many fourth of July's

And we're still holdin' it together

It only comes down to you and I

I know that you can still remember

Things we said right from the start

When we said that this could be special

I'm keepin' those words deep down in my heart

Another year has gone by

And I'm still the one by your side

After everything that's gone by

There's still no one saying goodbye

Though another year has gone by

I never been much for occasions

But you never let another birthday go by

Without announcing how much you love me

But the truth was always there, right there in your eyes

And were still holding hands when were walkin'

Actin' like we've only just met

But how could that be when there's so much history

I guess that's how true lovers can get

Another year has gone by

And I'm still the one by your side

After everything that's gone by

There's still no one saying goodbye

Though another year has gone by

Another year has gone by

And I'm still the one by your side

After everything that's gone by

There's still no one saying goodbye

Though another year has gone by

"Falling Or Flying"

Grace Potter And The Nocturnals

 

We got lost again

Drove to the end of a road

And a red-faced man

Taught us to do what we're told

 

And on the twenty-third night

Things ain't bad

But things ain't right

 

Are we falling or flying

Are we falling or flying

Are we living or dying

I guess we'll never know

 

The air's so heavy

It could drown a butterfly

If it flew too high

 

And I get the feeling

That the truck driver ain't shy

Cause he's looking at me

But nowhere near my eyes

 

And on the thirty-fifth morning

Things ain't good

But things ain't boring

 

Are we falling or flying

Are we falling or flying

Are we living or dying

I guess we'll never know

 

Striking rock

Or hitting gold

 

Sometimes it's hard to tell

If there's a life behind a song

But I know tomorrow

Today won't feel so long

 

Cause on the forty-second night

The room was dark

But the stage was bright

 

Are we falling or flying

Are we falling or flying

Are we living

Are we dying

 

Cause, my friend, this too shall pass

So play every show like it's your last

"U.F.O" - Coldplay

 

Lord, I don't know

Which way I am going

Which way the river's going to flow

 

It just seems

That upstream I keep rowing

Still got such a long way to go

Still got such a long way to go

 

And that light hits your eyes

I know I swear we'll find somewhere

The streets are paved with gold

 

Bullets fly

Split the sky

But that's alright

Sometimes sunlight

Comes streaming through the holes

"Thousand"

Rosie Carney Ft. Lisa Hannigan

 

She sings sweet things

To the ones that take her home

After the laughter

She's left stuck on her own

 

I know dust grows

Even when there is a breeze

Can't move, can't grow

When you've fallen on your knees

 

She talks at night

When nobody is there

Asking for signs

To show they really care

:(

 

Love please surround me

I know I've got more to give

There are reasons to leave

But a thousand more to live

 

Will it be this way tomorrow

After all that's been today

Will it be this way tomorrow

I don't know but I won't fade

 

Love please surround me

I know I've got more to give

There are reasons to leave

But a thousand more to live

But a thousand more to live

"When I Look At The World"

Lucinda Williams

 

I've been out of luck

I've been talked about

I've been locked up

I've been shut out

 

I've had some bad dreams

I've been filled with regret

I've made a mess of things

I've been a total wreck

 

I've been disrespected

Been taken for a ride

I've been rejected

And had my patience tried

 

[CHORUS:]

But then I look at the world

And all its glory

I look at the world

And it's a different story

Each time I look at the world

 

I've been used

And I've been blue

I've been abused

I've been lied to

 

I've been left behind

I've been misunderstood,

I've been out of my mind

And not feeling good

 

I've been lost

I've been turned away

I've paid the cost

And there's been hell to pay :'(

 

[CHORUS]

 

I've been unforgiven

I've been let down

I've had the truth hidden

I've been kicked around

 

I've been wasted

I've been on the brink

I've had my faith tested

And my spirit sink

 

I've been unwelcome

I've been unloved

I've been cheated on

And made a fool of

 

But then I look at the world

And all its glory

I look at the world

And it's a different story

Each time I look at the world

 

In all its glory

I look at the world

And it's a different story

Each time I look at the world

Each time I look at the world

Each time I look at the world

"Nothing Like A Friend"

Richard Hawley

 

http://www.bingwallpaperhd.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/KissingPandas.jpg

 

And in the end

The things that hold you in

Are gossamer thin

Disappeared with the wind

 

Will these city streets remember us

We walked them long ago

Blown apart by a bitter wind

That took us far from home

 

And in the end

It's gossamer thin

 

Ah, but then again

There's nothing like a friend

Who can drive you round the bend  :heybabe:

We'll be lovers till the end

 

Will these city streets remember us

We walked them long ago

Blown apart by a bitter wind

That took us far from home

 

And in the end

It's gossamer thin

And in the end

There's nothing like a friend

:-*

 

Will these city streets remember us

We walked them long ago

Blown apart by a bitter wind

That took us far from home

 

And in the end

It's gossamer thin

And in the end

There's nothing like a friend

" Cage The Songbird"

 

Elton John

 

Kiki Dee :thumbsup:

 

Sober in the morning light

Things look so much different

To how they looked last night

A pale face pressed to an unmade bed

Like flags of many nations

Flying high above her head

 

The cellophane still on the flowers

The telegram still in her hand

As whispers circulate all day

Their back-stage baby princess

Passed away

 

[CHORUS:]

And you can cage the songbird

But you can't make her sing

You can trap the free bird

But you'll have to clip her wings

Cause she'll soar like a hawk

When she flies

But she'll dive like an eagle

When she dies

 

Promises of no more lies

Fell flat upon an empty stage

Before the audience arrived

A return in time to the cheaper seats

She never knew what lay beneath

Just a dated handbill

Found between the sheets

 

Let down before the final curtain

A shallow heart that left her cold

She left in rouge upon the mirror

A circled kiss

To the faithful fans who'd miss her

 

And you can cage the songbird

But you can't make her sing

You can trap the free bird

But you'll have to clip her wings

Cause she'll soar like a hawk

When she flies

But she'll dive like an eagle

When she dies

"Save My Soul" - RIVVRS

 

I've gone on too long

Carrying the weight

Of this heart of stone

Just let me go

Just let me go

 

Who will save my soul

After all the things

That I've done wrong

I don't belong

I don't belong

 

Save my soul

Save my soul

Save my soul

Save my soul

 

I feel it in my bones

In my veins

My blood is running cold

Just lead me home

Just lead me home

 

Save my soul

Save my soul

Save my soul

Save my soul

 

Who will save my soul

After all the things

That I've done wrong

Who will save my soul

"Take A Walk"

The Head And The Heart

 

Take a walk, try to relax

It's not as bad as you think

Brush it off, she'll call in the morning

It's not as bad as you think

 

Is it a sign blowing through my mind

Or is it just dust on the road

Lost and found, turned around

It's just us on the road

 

[CHORUS:]

Why's it so hard to find a peace of mind

In a world where you're given all of the time

Just to find out

Yeah, to find out

(x2)

 

Your heart should know

 

In the morning

My head is spinning from the evening

I try to erase you every morning

 

Why's it so hard to find a peace of mind

In a world where you're given all of the time

Just to find out

Yeah, to find out

(X2)

 

Your heart should know

Should know, know when it's time

Your heart should know

Should know when it's time

 

Is it a sign

Blowing through my mind

Or is it just dust on the road

"Who Knows

(What Tomorrow May Bring)"

Gary Moore

 

Gonna put some distance

Between me and the bad times

There'll be no resistance

Say goodbye to the sad times

 

Who knows what tomorrow will bring

Who knows what's around every corner

Who knows what tomorrow will bring

 

Gonna find the reason

To move on from the sad times

Gonna come a season

Bring an end to the bad times

 

Who knows what tomorrow will bring

Who knows what's around every corner

Who knows what tomorrow will bring

 

Maybe the dreams of yesterday

The broken dreams of yesterday

 

Who knows what tomorrow will bring

Who knows what's around every corner

Who knows what tomorrow will bring

 

Maybe the dreams of yesterday

The broken dreams of yesterday

Maybe the dreams of yesterday

"Girl" - SYML

 

PandaCubs_2.jpg?cb=c0ba5270404e6f59159fa8bdeac3a424

 

Girl

Perfectly her

Broken and hurt

Soft and asleep in the morning gray

Shake off the night and don't hide your face

The sun lights the world with a single flame

I want you to see this

I want you to see this

 

Today

And all of your days

I'll wear your pain

Heal what I can in your troubled mind

Sometimes our bodies will hurt for some time >:(

And the beauty in that can be hard to find

I want you to find it

I want you to see this

I want you to see this

 

So run

Wake up and run

Run, little one

I wanna tear down these walls that can't hold you inside

And rip out the cords and uncover your eyes

We'll make our escape in the dark of night

I need you to see this

 

Girl

You'll see the world

And you'll come to learn

That falling in love is a strange work of art

All of your battles will shape who you are

And know that your scars are my favorite part

I want you to know this

"The Greatest" - Sia

https://youtu.be/JwDO7VUZ8Fc

 

Uh-oh, runnin' out of breath, but I

Oh, I, I got stamina

Uh-oh, running now, I close my eyes

Well, oh, I got stamina

And uh-oh, I see another mountain to climb

But I, I, I got stamina

Uh-oh, I need another lover, be mine

Cause I, I, I got stamina

 

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no no no

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no no no

 

[Chorus:]

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest

The greatest, the greatest alive

The greatest, the greatest alive

 

Well, uh-oh, runnin' out of breath, but I

Oh, I, I got stamina

Uh-oh, runnin' now, I close my eyes

But, oh, I got stamina

And oh yeah, runnin' through the waves of love

But I, I got stamina

And oh yeah, I'm runnin' and I've just enough

And uh-oh, I got stamina

 

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no no no

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no no no

 

[Chorus:]

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest

The greatest, the greatest alive

The greatest, the greatest alive

 

Oh-oh, I got stamina

Oh-oh, I got stamina

Oh-oh, I got stamina

Oh-oh, I got stamina

 

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

Ayy, I am the truth

Ayy, I am the wisdom of the fallen; I'm the youth

Ayy, I am the greatest

Ayy, this is the proof

Ayy, I work hard, pray hard, pay dues, ayy

I transform with pressure - I'm hands-on with effort

I fell twice before, my bounce back was special

Letdowns'll get you, and the critics will test you

But the strong'll survive, another scar may bless you, ah

 

Don't give up (no no), I won't give up (no no)

Don't give up, no no no (nah)

Don't give up, I won't give up

Don't give up, no no no

 

[Chorus:]

I'm free to be the greatest, I'm alive

I'm free to be the greatest here tonight, the greatest

The greatest, the greatest alive

(Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up, no no no)

(Repeat)

"The Song Of The Sparrow"

SayWeCanFly

 

Like a sparrow, I can fly

But I cannot touch the sky

Like a flower, I can grow

But I cannot grow alone

 

[CHORUS:]

Someday

I would like to know

That when I die

I will find my soul

And when I'm gone

And my skin is cold

Will I care

Where my body goes

Where my body goes

 

Like a season, I can leave

But you cannot follow me

Like a mountain, I am tall

You can climb me until you fall

 

[CHORUS}

 

I have ripped the beating heart

Out of my chest for you

Bleeding as I fall apart

I've torn my wings in two

[x2]

 

And someday

I would like to know

That when I die

I will find my soul

And when I'm gone

And my skin is cold

Will I care

Where my body goes

Where my body goes

:(
