" Long & Lost"

Florence + The Machine

 

 

 

"Long & Lost"

 

Lost in the fog, these hollow hills

Blood running hot, night chills

Without your love I'll be

So long and lost, are you missing me?

 

Is it too late to come on home?

Are all those bridges now old stone?

Is it too late to come on home?

Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song

 

I need the clouds to cover me

Pulling them down, surround me

Without your love I'll be

So long and lost, are you missing me?

 

Is it too late to come on home?

Are all those bridges now old stone?

Is it too late to come on home?

Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song

 

It's been so long between the words we spoke

Will you be there up on the shore, I hope

You wonder why it is that I came home

I figured out where I belong

 

But it's too late to come on home

Are all those bridges now old stone?

But it's too late to come on home

Can the city forgive? I hear its sad song

" I Always Fall Apart"

Sharon Van Etten

 

 

"I Always Fall Apart"

 

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

I've covered the streets

Recovered into everlasting leaps

 

You know it's always been my heart

You know I always fall apart

It's not my fault, it's just my flaw

It's who I am

You know it's always been my heart

You know I always fall apart

It's not my fault, it's just my flaw

It's who I am

 

You turn me in to a museum

You kept me from the growing weeds

When all you wanted was the best

From me, that is the test

Can you keep me from?

You can't explain me

 

You know it's always been my heart

You know I always fall apart

It's not my fault, it's just my flaw

It's who I am

 

I can't believe the way I've been

I've been resentful and I've sinned

I need you now just as a friend

I need a hand held, not a pushing

I need a way to help me to stand only to crash

I know who I am and what I've done

Don't know what I'd do but when

I look to my side I'll be a friend

Where have you been?

" Fallen Angel"

Molly Svrcina

 

 

" Fallen Angel"

 

I'm just an angel that's

Fallen from

Grace

In a weak moment

In doubt of my

Faith

I danced with the devil

And I'm so

Ashamed

He never mentioned that

I'd have to

Pay

Beautiful fiction

He made me

Believe

Love and affection from

Him would come

Cheap

But I'm in the red

And now I'm on the

Run

I wanna go home

I don't know what I've

Done

Heaven help us

Be my compass

Out of

Darkness

Because I'm a fallen angel

Finding my way back

Home

I'm just an angel

That's fatally

Lost

I tried to be something

I know that I'm not

I danced with the devil

And I'm so

Ashamed

Too far down a road

To go back where I

Came

Heaven help us

Be my compass

Out of

Darkness

Because I'm a fallen angel

Finding my way back

Home

I'm just an angel

That's fallen from

Grace

In a weak moment in doubt of my

Faith

I danced with the devil

And I'm so

Ashamed

He never mentioned

That I'd have to

Pay

"Another Day In Paradise"

 

Phil Collins

 

Brandy and Ray J

https://youtu.be/35BJWm2wtbw

 

She calls out to the man on the street

'"Sir, can you help me?

It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,

Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

 

He walks on, doesn't look back

He pretends he can't hear her

Starts to whistle as he crosses the street

Seems embarrassed to be there

 

[CHORUS:]

Oh think twice

It's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh think twice

Cause it's just another day for you,

You and me in paradise

Think about it

 

She calls out to the man on the street

He can see she's been crying

She's got blisters on the soles of her feet

She can't walk but she's trying

 

[CHORUS]

 

Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do

Oh Lord, there must be something you can say

 

You can tell from the lines on her face

You can see that she's been there

She's probably been moved on from every place

Cause she didn't fit in there

 

Oh think twice

It's another day for you and me in paradise

Oh think twice

Cause it's just another day for you,

You and me in paradise

Just think about it

Just think about it

This one's for the lonely, the one's that seek and find

Only to be let down time after time

This one's for the torn down, the experts at the fall

Come on friends, get up now, you're not alone at all

 

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

 

And this part was for her

And this part was for her

This part was for her

Does she remember?

 

It comes and goes in waves

 

This one's for the faithless, the ones that are surprised

They're only where they are now regardless of their fight

This one's for believing if only for it's sake

Come on friends get up now love is to be made

 

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

 

And this part was for her

And this part was for her

This part was for her

Does she remember?

 

It comes and goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

It comes in goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

Why I, why I try

 

This is for the ones who stand

For the ones who try again

For the ones who need a hand

For the ones who think they can

 

It comes and goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

It comes and goes in waves, I

Am only led to wonder why

Why I, why, why I try

 

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

"Hymn For The Missing"

Red

 

 

"Hymn For The Missing"

 

I tried to walk together

But the night was growing dark

Thought you were beside me

But I reached and you were gone

Sometimes I hear you calling

From some lost and distant shore

I hear you crying softly for the way it was before

 

Where are you now?

Are you lost?

Will I find you again?

Are you alone?

Are you afraid?

Are you searching for me?

Why did you go? I had to stay

Now I'm reaching for you

Will you wait? will you wait?

Will I see you again?

 

You took it with you when you left

These scars are just a trace

Now it wanders lost and wounded

This heart that I misplaced

 

Where are you now?

Are you lost?

Will I find you again?

Are you alone?

Are you afraid?

Are you searching for me?

Why did you go? I had to stay

Now I'm reaching for you

Will you wait? will you wait?

Will I see you again?

" Various Storms & Saints"

Florence + The Machine

 

 

"Various Storms & Saints"

 

And the air was full

Of various storms and saints

Praying in the street

As the banks began to break

And I'm in the throes of it

Somewhere in the belly of the beast

But you took your toll on me

So I gave myself over willingly

You got a hold on me

And I don't know how I don't just stand outside and scream

I am teaching myself how to be free

 

The monument of a memory

You tear it down in your head

Don't make the mountain your enemy

Get out, get up there instead

You saw the stars out in front of you

Too tempting not to touch

But even though it shocked you

Something's electric in your blood

 

And people just untie themselves

Uncurling like flowers

If you could just forgive yourself

 

But still you stumble, feet give way

Outside the world seems a violent place

But you had to have him, and so you did

Some things you let go in order to live

While all around you, the buildings sway

You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"

I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay

Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe

Hold on to your heart, don't give it away

 

You'll find a rooftop to sing from

Or find a hallway to dance

You don't need no edge to cling from

Your heart is there, it's in your hands

I know it seems like forever

I know it seems like an age

But one day this will be over

I swear it's not so far away

 

And people just untie themselves

Uncurling like flowers

If you could just forgive yourself

 

But still you stumble, feet give way

Outside the world seems a violent place

But you had to have him, and so you did

Some things you let go in order to live

While all around you, the buildings sway

You sing it out loud, "who made us this way?"

I know you're bleeding, but you'll be okay

Hold on to your heart, you'll keep it safe

Hold on to your heart

" Into Dust"

Mazzy Star

 

https://youtu.be/IAENqEAIoAU

 

"Into Dust"

 

Still falling

Breathless and on again

Inside today

Beside me today

Around, broken in two

Till your eyes shed

Into dust

Like two strangers

Turning into dust

Till my hand shook

With the way I fear

 

I could possibly be fading

Or have something more to gain

I could feel myself growing colder

I could feel myself under your fate

Under your fate

 

It was you

Breathless and tall

I could feel my eyes turning into dust

And two strangers

Turning into dust

Turning into dust

 

❤️

"Lying To The Mirror" - Gabrielle Aplin

 

Can we believe all that we read, all that we tell you

What you perceive to be the truth and what is real

Leaving you scraping at the bottom of the barrel

Nothing is broken or forgotten that's the deal

 

And all your monsters in the night they come to life

So you embrace them in the hope that you'll survive

Intoxicated by the fear and the flames

There's paranoia in your veins

 

We're all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to the mirror

 

It is the beauty of our flaws that will define us

So don't hold on to all the things you never had

Just remember we're the good, the bad, the lovely

It is the sanity of life that makes us mad

 

So when the pain of your mistakes keeps you awake

And all your skeletons rattle in the chains

Intoxicated by the fear and the flames

There's paranoia in your veins

 

We're all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to the mirror

 

Who you are is what you are

And what you are is beautiful

Who you are is what you are

And what you are is beautiful 

 

We're all lying to the mirror

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

 

We're all lying to the mirror,

Lying to ourselves

Hiding in the glitter

Lying to the mirror

" You + Me"

You and Me

 

 

 

"You And Me"

 

You and me were always with each other

Before we knew the other was ever there

You and me, we belong together

Just like a breath needs the air

 

I told you if you called I would come runnin'

Across the highs, the lows and the in-betweens

You and me we've got two minds that think as one

And our hearts march to the same beat

 

They say everything it happens for a reason

You can be flawed enough, but perfect for a person

Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart

Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark

 

Oh that's you and me

 

You and me we're searching for the same light

Desperate for a cure to this disease

Well some days are better than others

But I fear no thing as long as you're with me

 

They say everything it happens for a reason

You can be flawed enough, but perfect for a person

Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart

Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark

 

And they say everything it happens for a reason

You can be flawed enough, but perfect for a person

Someone who will be there when you start to fall apart

Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark

 

Oh that's you and me

That's you and me

 

❤️❤️❤️

"Here But I'm Gone" - Curtis Mayfield

 

[CHORUS:]

How did I get so far gone

Where do I belong

And where in the world did I ever go wrong

If I took the time to replace

What my mind erased

I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone

 

Perched up in a rocking chair

With my feet all bare

Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap

Live an adolescent mind

Never do take the time

Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept

 

[CHORUS]

 

Mama told me I was best

Argue and punch in the chest

Son, now be strong, let me take you home

I'd see in her eyes so sincere

Screaming, what got me here

Standing in the world with my mind all blown

 

[CHORUS]

x2

 

I do nothing but waste all my time

Leaving the world behind

Smoking my crack just to keep me high

Around the boys I play my part rough

Keep myself tough enough

Never to cry, don't really wanna die

 

How did I get so far gone

Where do I belong

And where in the world did I ever go wrong

If I took the time to replace

What my mind erased

I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone

"By The Grace Of God" - Katy Perry

 

I was twenty seven surviving my return to Saturn

A long vacation didn't sound so bad

Was full of secrets locked up tight like iron melting

Running on empty so out of gas

 

Thought I wasn't enough and I wasn't so tough

Laying on the bathroom floor

We were living on a fault line

And I felt the fault was all mine

Couldn't take it any more

 

[CHORUS:]

By the grace of God

(There was no other way)

I picked myself back up

(I knew I had to stay)

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay

Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way

 

I thank my sister for keeping my head above the water

When the truth was like swallowing sand

Now every morning

There is no more morning

Oh I can finally see myself again

 

I know I am enough

Possible to be loved

It was not about me

Now I have to rise above

Let the universe call the bluff

Yeah the truth will set you free

[CHORUS]

 

Not that way no

Not in the name of love

In the name of love

That way, no, that way, no

I am not giving up

 

By the grace of God

I picked myself back up

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror

Looked in the mirror

 

By the grace of God

(There was no other way)

I picked myself back up

(I knew I had to stay)

I put one foot in front of the other

And I looked in the mirror and decided to stay

Wasn't gonna let love take me out that way

"Hold On" - Kansas

 

Look in the mirror and tell me

Just what you see

What have the years of your life

Taught you to be

Innocence dying in so many ways

Things that you dream of are lost

Lost in the haze

 

[CHORUS:]

Hold on, Baby, hold on

Cause it's closer than you think

And you're standing on the brink

Hold on, Baby, hold on

Cause there's something on the way

Your tomorrow's not the same as today

 

Don't you recall what you felt

When you weren't alone

Someone who stood by your side

A face you have known

Where do you run when it's too much to bear

Who do you turn to in need

When nobody's there 

 

[CHORUS]

 

Outside your door he is waiting

Waiting for you

Sooner or later you know

He's got to come through

No hesitation and no holding back

Let it all go and you'll know

You're on the right track

 

Hold on, Baby, hold on

hold on to me, Baby

Cause it's closer than you think

And you're standing on the brink

Hold on, Baby, hold on

Yeah I need you by my side

Cause there's something on the way

Your tomorrow's not the same

 

Hold on, Baby, hold on

I got to talk to you, Baby

Cause it's closer than you think

And you're standing on the brink

Hold on, Baby, hold on

There's something around the corner

Cause there's something on the way

Your tomorrow's not the same

 

Hold on

"If That's What It Takes" - Céline Dion

You're the bravest of hearts, you're the strongest of souls

You're my light in the dark, you're the place I call home

You can say it's all right

But I know that you're breaking up inside

I see it in your eyes

Even you face the night afraid and alone

That's why I'll be there

 

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend

Every beat of my heart, every day without end

Every second I live that's the promise I make

Baby, that's what I'll give if that's what it takes

If that's what it takes

 

You can sleep in my arms, you don't have to explain

When your heart's crying out, Baby, whisper my name

Cause I've reached out for you

When the thunder is crashing up above

You've given me your love

And you smile like the sun that shines through the pain

That's why I'll be there

 

When the storm rises up, when the shadows descend

Every beat of my heart, every day without end

I will stand like a rock I will bend till I break

Till there's no more to give if that's what it takes

 

I will risk everything, I will fight, I will bleed

I will lay down my life, if that's what you need

Every second I live, that's the promise I make

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

 

Through the wind and the rain

Through the smoke and the fire

When the fear rises up

When the wave's ever higher

I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul

I will hold on all night and never let go

Every second I live, that's the promise I make

Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes

 

If that's what it takes

Every day

If that's what it takes

Every day

"Fairytale" - Cowboy Junkies

 

There's a rock and a field and a dirty sky

I'm still as a corpse, I'm content as a bride

Thoughts of you and those flying shoes

All around me

 

One wrong step and it's a long way down

So I triple check the hand holds, and stand on firmer ground

But it's not so easy when the whole mountain's

Coming down on you

 

So we wait for that morning when we'll stumble on the truth

Fail to recognize it as we're digging at its roots

The sorrow and the anger that we've sown

In the fields all around us

 

Hey little princess, hey little pea

Come down from your tower and dance with me

Yeah, you're the fairest one in the land

Try on this glass slipper and give me your hand

 

There's a rock and a field and a collapsing sky

I'm precious as a snowman, fragile as a lie

Thoughts of you and those flying shoes

All around me

 

I'm afraid of the anger of the hard twisted heart

That beats in the chests of those who are caught

In the ruins of the lives of those

All around them

I'm sick of the blood, I'm sick of the bleeding

The effort it takes just to keep on dreaming

Of better days and better ways

Of living

 

Hey little princess, hey little pea

Come down from your tower and dance with me

Yeah, you're the fairest one in the land

Try on this glass slipper and give me your hand

"To the Rescue" - The Divine Comedy

https://youtu.be/96naSRzkl2E

So many heartbreaks, so little time

Too many tragedies, too many crimes

Put on your body armor, prepare your alibis

Cause there is no one else

Gonna put it right

 

To the rescue

Down the streets and alleyways

Past the Chinese takeaways

Through the wind and driving rain

To the rescue, to the rescue

 

When the world won't understand

Government's got other plans

Take the law into your hands

To the rescue

 

Got a vigilante sleeping in my bed

I looked for Marilyn

I got Che instead

Yes I did

 

But I'll march behind you

Wherever you may go

And I'm more proud of you

Than you can ever know

 

To the rescue

Through the snow and freezing rain

Down deserted country lanes

Round the world and back again

To the rescue

 

Taking the forgotten ones

Big and small, the old and young

When nobody else will come

You'll come to the rescue

To the rescue

"Fly Away" - Poe

 

It makes sense

That it should happen this way

That the sky should break

And the earth should shake

As if to say, sure it all matters

But in such an unimportant way

 

As if to say

Fly away

Sweet bird of prey

Fly, fly away

Nothing can stand in your way

Sweet bird, if you knew the words

I know that you'd say

Fly, fly away

 

It makes sense

That it should hurt in this way

That my heart should break

And my hands should shake

As if to say, sure it don't matter

Except in the most important way

 

As if to say

Fly away

Sweet bird of prey

Fly, fly away

I won't stand in your way

Sweet bird, if you knew the words

I know that you'd say

Fly, fly away

 

It makes sense

That it should feel just this way

That you slowly fade

And yet still remain

As if to say, everything matters

In such an invisible way

 

As if to say

It's okay

Fly away

"Out Of The Darkness"

Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul

 

There's a sadness all around us

There are words we're too afraid to say

And the things I thought would last forever

Are changing every day

 

There's a hunger that can't be satisfied

And the streets are filled with rage

It's time to dig deep inside of us

And face the life we've made

 

Oh, it's gonna take the two of us

I can't do it all on my own

Yea, the days are getting brighter

Hold me a little bit tighter

 

Out of the darkness and hand in hand

Baby, together we will make our stand

Reach out and touch me

We can win somehow

I know there's nothing that can stop us now

Oh Baby, come with me out of the darkness

 

I've lived my life trapped with trouble

Now it's time to make a new start

I thought the only justice in this world

Came from an angry heart

 

Oh, now I know there's got to be love to protect us

But we can't wait for it to come

I know there's more to life than black and white

The sooner we learn, the sooner we win

 

  It's gonna take the two of us 

I can't make it all on my own

Oh, if you are a fighter

Hold me a little bit tighter

 

Oh, out of the darkness and hand in hand

Baby, together we will make our stand

Reach out and touch me

We can win somehow

I know there's nothing that can stop us now

Oh Baby, come with me out of the darkness

"Circle Song" - Jewel

If you see me speak without words

Know that I am speaking of the wind

And if you see my words like wind

Know that soft tongues cut through stone

And if you see my tongue like stone

Know its wisdom lies in silence

And if you see my wisdom in silence

Then with you I will always be

 

And if you doubt my true love is true

Just see how you have no chains upon your hands

And if you see you wear no chains

You are free like poor men

And if you see your freedom in being poor

How pleased you'll be with the treasure of your mind

And if you're pleased with the treasure of your mind

Then with you I will always be

 

So come closer my love to me

You are closer than you can ever see

You live in my heart

That's where you'll always be

 

And if you wonder how it is that I love

Just watch that sunset slip away

And as you watch that sun slip away

Know some things are better left unseen

And if you know some things go unseen

Then night shall carry you in her arms

And if you feel I carry you in my arms

Then with you I will always be

With you I will always be

"One To One" - Carole King

 

 

If I am the question you are the answer

If you are the music I am the dancer

Through all of the madness and all of the sadness

Of day-to-day living we gotta keep giving

 

One to one

Me to you

Pure and simple, sweet and true

One to one

You to me

Sending the love

So it's spreading out endlessly

 

Now there are those moments

When life loses meaning

And we lose our faith in

The dreams we've been dreaming

When people seem mindless

And plain human kindness

Appears to be dying

We gotta keep trying

 

One to one

Me to you

Pure and simple, sweet and true

One to one

You to me

Sending the love

So it's spreading out endlessly

 

I know this world needs changing

I know the shape we're in

But with all the confusion

I've reached the conclusion

There's only one place to begin

And that's

 

One to one

Me to you

Pure and simple, sweet and true

One to one

You to me

Sending the love

So it's spreading out endlessly

sHINEDOWN - sIMPLE MAN

 

SUCH AN AWSOME COVER, BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

 

 

 

 

Mama told me when I was young

"Come sit beside me, my only son

And listen closely to what I say

And if you do this it will help you some sunny day"

 

"Oh, take your time, don't live too fast

Troubles will come and they will pass

You'll find a woman and you'll find love

And don't forget, son, there is someone up above"

 

"And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

 

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold

All that you need is in your soul

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

 

"And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

 

Oh yes, I will

 

"Boy, don't you worry, you'll find yourself

Follow your heart and nothing else

And you can do this, oh baby, if you try

All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied"

 

"And be a simple kind of man

Oh, be something you love and understand

Baby be a simple kind of man

Oh, won't you do this for me, son, if you can"

 

Baby, be a simple, really simple man

Oh, be something you love and understand
