Brother Bird ft. Manchester Orchestra - Before Dark

 
In the arms of a lover
Is an army of stone
With the touch of a mother
God sends radical sun

Please just be home before dark
I've given you all that I've got

There's a flame in the kitchen
A reflection of you
I keep it burning through the evening
Watch the wax drip all over my shoes

Please just be home before dark
I've given you all that I've got

Please come home

On a long desert highway
I can feel him slipping right through my hands
I don't know if heaven hears me
But I'm screaming as loud as I can
Screaming as loud as I can
I'm screaming

Please just be home before dark
I've given you all that I've got
Please just be home before dark

SYML - Wildfire

 
Darling please take my hand
Please get up, rise to stand

I can't be the one to sing your song
Cause I believe it's not your fault
Don't be scared you are my rock
Nothing's gonna hold you down for long

Sometimes we break so beautiful
And you know you're not the only one
I breathe you in so sweet and powerful
Like a wildfire burning up inside my lungs
I'm burning up

I'm burning up

I'm burning up

In good time, you'll come to know
When you release, when you let go
You can find yourself where you belong
You're not a curse, you're not too much
You are needed here, you are enough
And nothing's gonna hold you down for long

Sometimes we break so beautiful
And you know you're not the only one
I breathe you in so sweet and powerful
Like a wildfire burning up inside my lungs
I'm burning up

I'm burning up

I'm burning up

Darling please, don't give up
Drop your hate and sing for love
And let me be the one who sings along

Sometimes we break so beautiful
And you know you're not the only one
I breathe you in so sweet and powerful
Like a wildfire burning up inside my lungs
I'm burning up 

 

Sons Of The East - Undone

 
Heaven help you
If you ever lose
Lay your head down
Nothing else to do

If you stumble it's a long way down
You'd be coming up for air right now
Heaven help you
If you ever lose

There's only so long you can keep me on the run
No sitting on the fence
You're not so innocent at all
Has everything we had finally come undone?
I know it don't seem real
I'm not your even keel no more

Heaven help you
If you can't come down
Outta your head
Feet above the ground

Never really know the reasons why
Before you jump you better know how high
Heaven help you
If you can't come down

There's only so long you can keep me on the run
No sitting on the fence
You're not so innocent at all
Has everything we had finally come undone?
I know it don't seem real
I'm not your even keel no more

Heaven help you
If you can't come down
Outta your head
Feet above the ground

Outta your head
Feet above the ground 

 

Amber Run - I Dare You

 
I know I won't live forever
May only get this feeling once
I want to show you my devotion
A worship not taught at church

I Dare You
To jump into that sweet unknown
With me

Love has always been so lonely
So forgetful and unkind
But with you it feels holy
When we bloom in the dead of night

I Dare You
I Dare You
To jump into that sweet unknown
With me

I dare you, jump into the sky
And float in the blue
I dare you, take a bite out the sun
And fall in the gloom

I dare you, jump into the sky
And float in the blue
I dare you, take a bite out the sun
And fall through the gloom

'Cause I Dare You
'Cause I Dare You
To jump into that sweet unknown
With me
With me

So it must be
So it must be
A comfort in times like these
So it must be
A comfort in times like these 

 

Peter Gabriel - Family Snapshot

 
The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different, today is not the same
Today I make the action, take snapshot into the light
Snapshot into the light, I'm shooting into the light

Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
Driving into the sun
If I worked it out right, they won't see me or the gun
Two miles to go, they're clearing the road
And the cheering has really begun
I've got my radio, I can hear what's going on

I've been waiting for this
I've been waiting for this
All you people in TV land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells
'Cause I'm alive

They're coming around the corner with the bikers at the front
I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes
It's a matter of time, a matter of will
And the governor's car is not far behind, he's not the one I've got in mind
'Cause there he is, the man of the hour, standing in the limousine

I don't really hate you, I don't care what you do
We were made for each other, me and you
I want to be somebody, you were like that too
If you don't get given you learn to take
And I will take you
Holding my breath
Release the catch
And I let the bullet fly

All turned quiet, I have been here before
A lonely boy hiding behind the front door
Friends have all gone home
There's my toy gun on the floor
Come back, Mum and Dad
You're growing apart, you know that I'm growing up sad
I need some attention
I shoot into the light 

 

Foreigner - Juke Box Hero

 
Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream

He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day
Bought a beat up six string in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure

That one guitar, felt good in his hands
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was one way ticket, only one way to go

So he started rockin'
Ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
Someday he's gonna make it to the top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero
He took one guitar, juke box hero, stars in his eyes
Juke box hero, he'll come alive tonight

In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar made his whole life change

Now he needs to keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
With that one guitar he'll come alive
Come alive tonight

Yeah, he's gotta keep rockin'
He just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin'
That boy has got to stay on top

And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Just one guitar, put stars in his eyes
He's just a juke box hero, aah aah aah
Juke box hero, juke box hero, he's got stars in his eyes
Stars in his eyes 

 

Gérard Depardieu - Cyrano de Bergerac (d'après Edmond Rostand)

 
Roxane, se relevant pour appeler.

Ma sœur ! ma sœur ! Venez !

Cyrano, la retenant.

Non ! non ! n’appelez personne :
Qu'elles aillent prier, puisque leurs cloches sonnent !

Roxane.

J’ai fait votre malheur ! moi ! moi !

Cyrano.
Vous ?… au contraire !
J’ignorais la douceur féminine. Ma mère
Ne m’a pas trouvé beau. Je n’ai pas eu de sœur.
Plus tard, j’ai redouté l’amante à l’œil moqueur.
Je vous dois d’avoir eu, tout au moins, une amie.
Grâce à vous une robe a passé dans ma vie.

Roxane.

Je vous aime, vivez !

Cyrano.

Il est trop tard, cousine.
Je vais monter là-haut,
Dans la lune opaline.
Plus d’une âme que j’aime y doit être exilée,
Et je retrouverai Socrate et Galilée !

Philosophe, physicien,
Rimeur, bretteur, musicien,
Et voyageur aérien,
Grand riposteur du tac au tac,
Amant aussi — pas pour son bien ! —
Ci-gît Hercule-Savinien
De Cyrano de Bergerac
Qui fut tout, et qui ne fut rien.

… Mais je m’en vais, pardon, je ne peux faire attendre
Vous voyez, le rayon de lune vient me prendre !

— Ne me soutenez pas ! — Non, rien ! 

Rien que les arbres !

Elle vient. Je me sens déjà botté de marbre,
— Ganté de plomb !

(Il se raidit.)

Oh ! mais !… puisqu’elle est en chemin,
J'irai à sa rencontre,

(Il tire l’épée.)

et l’épée à la main !

(Il lève son épée.)

Que dites-vous ?… C’est inutile ?… Je le sais !
Mais on ne se bat pas dans l’espoir du succès !
Non ! non, c’est bien plus beau lorsque c’est inutile !
— Qu’est-ce que c’est que tous ceux-là ! – Vous êtes mille ?
Ah ! je vous reconnais, tous mes vieux ennemis !
Le Mensonge, les Lâchetés, les Compromis,

(Il frappe de son épée le vide.)

— Je sais bien qu’à la fin vous me mettrez à bas ;
N’importe : je me bats ! je me bats ! je me bats !

(Il fait des moulinets immenses et s’arrête haletant.)

Oui, vous m’arrachez tout, le laurier et la rose !
Arrachez ! Il y a malgré vous quelque chose
Que j’emporte, et ce soir, quand j’entrerai chez Dieu,
Mon salut balaiera largement le seuil bleu,
Quelque chose que sans un pli, sans une tache,
J’emporte malgré vous,

et c’est…

Roxane, se penchant sur lui et lui baisant le front.

C’est ?…

Cyrano, rouvre les yeux, la reconnaît et dit en souriant.

Mon panache. 

On se croirait presque obligé de se justifier de rendre hommage à cet immense artiste, livré en pâture à la vindicte de la foule, condamné avant même d'avoir été jugé, mais, au-delà de ses innombrables outrances, il demeure l'inoubliable interprète de ce Cyrano - un rôle que l'on aurait pu croire taillé sur mesure pour lui.
Que les frustrés de tout poil qui jugent sans connaître, qui n'ont jamais rien fait de leur vie (j'en suis !) s'occupent donc de leur cul avant de jeter l'anathème sur cet énorme artiste franco-russe ! ^^

The Cure - Pictures Of You

 
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering you
Standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you
Running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering you
Fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering you
How you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you 

 

Killing Joke - Twilight Of The Mortal (Chris Kimsey Mix)

 
The days I wonder, the nights I ponder, and time is running out.
I saw restrictions of mortal lifespan, and hurled the lance beyond.

The stone that's bleeding, the rock that's breathing, the war that's in our blood.
Rapid formations, and celebrations, my Universe shall march.

Through love of a labor, one law to follow, until the day is done
We take our places amongst the mortals, but soon the day is done. 

 

Joe Cocker & Jennifer Warnes - Up Where We Belong

 
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long, there are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong

M83 ft. Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion (Up!)

 
Since I was young, I knew I'd find you
But our love was a song sung by a dying swan
And in the night, you hear me calling
You hear me calling
And in your dreams you see me falling, falling

Breathe in the light
I'll stay here in the shadow
Waiting for a sign, as the tide grows
Higher, and higher, and higher

And when the nights are long
All those stars recall your goodbye, your goodbye

And in the night you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams you'll see us falling, falling
And in the night you'll hear me calling
You'll hear me calling
And in your dreams you'll see us falling, falling

Breathe in the light and say goodbye
Breathe in the light and say goodbye 


 

The Steel Woods - The Man From Everywhere

 
I know how I got here
But I can't tell you why
And if I could
Neither one of us have got the time

I blame it on my habit
Blame my habit on the road
But my girl of 30 years
Said I'm just reaping what I've sowed

This old town is full of money
It's been pretty good to me
But by now the ground is gettin' kinda warm beneath my feet

No, I ain't in trouble
Not as far as I can tell
It's just the longer I sit still
The closer I can feel to hell

So I run and I hide
I see what I can find
But I'm never satisfied
Maybe I'm just bad at chasing dreams
All the good I've ever had's a memory
I can't pack it up so I just up and leave it there
The man from everywhere

Well, I started out in Georgia
It seemed like a pretty good place to leave
Everywhere I've been ever since then seems like it's leaving me

Oh, the sun will always find me
When I'm wakin' up with the moon
Singing yesterday's wine
Like tomorrow's lonely tune

And I'll run and I'll hide
I see what I can find
But I'm never satisfied
Maybe I'm just bad at chasing dreams
All the good I've ever had's a memory
I can't pack it up so I just up and leave it there
The man from everywhere

So I'll run and I'll hide
I see what I can find
But I'm never satisfied
Maybe I'm just bad at chasing dreams
All the good I've ever had's a memory
I can't pack it up so I just up and leave it there
The man from everywhere

Chris Stapleton - White Horse

 
This love is getting kinda dangerous
Feels like it's a loaded gun
My mind. It's turning like a cloud of dust
My heart always wants to run

Oh, oh, oh
If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that's the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there yet
No, I ain't there yet
No, I ain't there yet

White horse

Someday, maybe you could have your way
Right now's just not the time
Some things a man's just got to do
I wish you could change my mind

Oh, oh, oh
If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that's the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there yet
No, I ain't there yet
No, I ain't there yet

White horse

If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that's the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there

If you want a cowboy on a white horse
Riding off into the sunset
If that's the kinda love you wanna wait for
Hold on tight, girl, I ain't there yet
No, I ain't there yet
No, I ain't there yet

White horse

Zakk Wylde - Throwin' It All Away

 

You couldn't feel the sunlight upon your face
Your little world, a little out of place
You couldn't hear the ocean,
You couldn't hear the waves
I know you meant to come back,
I know you meant to stay

An' all you touch... An' all you knew...
An' all you love... yeah

Oh I can see you smile, can you see my tears?
I reach to hold you, but you ain't there
You left a hole so big, Lord, beyond repair
I try to find forgiveness,
In talkin' what we'll never share

An' all you touch... An' all you knew...
An' all you love...
You just left 'em with nothing to say

Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohh
You're just throwin' it all away
Oh-oh, No you didn't care to see the light of day
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohh
You're just throwin' it all away
Like the sand upon the shore
Your crashing waves came took you away

An' all you touch... An' all you knew...
An' all you love...
You just left 'em with nothing to say

 h-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohh
You're just throwin' it all away
Oh-oh, No you didn't care to see the light of day
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohh
You're just throwin' it all away
Like the sand upon the shore
Your crashing waves came took you away

h-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohh
You're just throwin' it all away
Oh-oh, No you didn't care to see the light of day
Oh-oh, Oh-oh-oh-ohh
You're just throwin' it all away
Like the sand upon the shore
Your crashing waves came took you away

 

Apocalyptica ft. Lacey - Broken Pieces

 
Too late - this is not the answer
I need to pack it in
I can't pull your heart together with just my voice alone
A thousand shards of glass I came to meet you in
You cut the piece out of me

And as you ripped it all apart
That's when I turned to watch you
And as the light in you went dark
I saw you turn to shadow
If you would salvage some part of you that once knew love
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you

Oh I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

It's too late now to stop the process
This was your choice - you let it in
This double life you lead is eating you up from within
A thousand shards of glass you pushed beneath my skin
And left me lying there to bleed

And as you showed me your scars
I only held you closer
But as the light in you went dark I saw you turn over
I wanted always to be there for you and close to you
But I'm losing this
And I'm losing you

Oh I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces

Maybe without me
You'll return to all the beauty I once knew
But if I stay I know
We will both be drowned by you holding onto me

Oh I've gotta turn and run
From faces that you never see
Oh I've gotta save my blood
From all that you've broken
And pack up these pieces of me

The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me
The broken pieces
Pack up these pieces of me 

 

Asking Alexandria - Into The Fire

 
Take him out back
Take him out back
Take him out back

I'm not too sure what I'm supposed to do with this
These hands, this mind, this instability
From a cage I created, to a hell that heaven made
Can't let go of the hatred cause I love the way it tastes

Take him out back

I wouldn't take back a moment
Not one miserable moment
I'll give it all 'til there's nothing
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire

I've come to terms with the fact I'll never change
And that's just fine, I find solace in the pain
I don't mind the darkness, it's easy on the eyes
I'm praying for something to make me feel alive

I wouldn't take back a moment
Not one miserable moment
I'll give it all 'til there's nothing
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
The fire

I'm a paranoid, sycophant
Masochistic dilettante...
Narcissistic elephant in the room
I'm the end of the world
Thinning the herd
The all around outta my mind, fucking absurd
I am gone
I am gone

I wouldn't take back a moment
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
I'd walk into the fire
Into the fire
Into the fire
Fire

Take him out back 

 

Halestorm ft. Ashley McBryde - Terrible Things

 
We are human, we are violent
We learn our lessons
Then defy them
We are heartless and immoral
We carry hatred
Like a bible

And there's a hole in my life
There's a blackness inside
That's eating me alive
Leaving me to decide
Do I live with this pain?
As the rain starts to fall from my eyes
Asking myself why

I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams I believe
We're not these
Terrible things, oh
Terrible things, oh

We are nothing without failure
But we have chosen ill behavior
With every scar we have learned
Not to heal, but to hurt
We've become something else
Even I cannot tell just why

I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams I believe
We're not these
Terrible things, oh
Terrible things, oh

If I fall
If I run
That's when I
Will become
Terrible things

I see terrible things
I see a sickness in a world on its knees
It will take what you love like a thief
But in my dreams I believe
We're not these
Look at me and you'll see
I'm not these
Terrible things, oh
Terrible things, oh 

 

Nate Smith - I Found You

 
What if I didn't sit down that night at the bar
What if I wasn't half-buzzed enough to take a shot in the dark
And say hello, what's your name
What if we didn't stay out so late
What if I let you be the one that got away

'Cause I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
Out on the loose, that was almost true
Then I found you

What if I didn't let the walls come down that night
What if I just went home instead of laying it all on the line
I took a chance, on the spot, asked you to dance in the parking lot
Oh, don't wanna think about, think about where I'd be now

'Cause I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
Out on the loose, that was almost true
Then I found you, baby

I wanna feel this feeling forever
Whoever I am, you're making me better

I was a train wreck in a dive bar, going nowhere in this town
I wasn't ready, wasn't looking for a reason to stick around
I thought this wild heart of mine was meant to run 'til the end of time
Out on the loose, that was almost true
Then I found you
I found you 

 

Sierra Eagleson - In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins acoustic cover)

 
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin,
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget,
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up,
No you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show
But the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you and me

And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
Well, I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord
But I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord, oh Lord 

 

SYML - Clean Eyes

 
Picture yourself in a room full of broken glass
Blood on the pieces, the pieces you can't put back
A little white light in a sea gone black
My head is the room and the room's full of broken glass

You can't change me, can you save me?

Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways and
No I don't mind, clean eyes (clean eyes)
Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains and
I don't know why, clean eyes (clean eyes)

I'm a cynic I told you I fear what I don't believe
I don't know what this is but this is a different beast
I check the lock on the door three times
Can't put my faith in what I can't describe
I'm a cynic, I told you, I don't believe

Can you save me?

Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways and
No I don't mind, clean eyes (clean eyes)
Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains and
I don't know why, clean eyes (clean eyes)

Take me home when I lost myself
Love me better than I love myself
Well my head is the room and the room's full of broken glass
Take me home when I lost myself
Well my head is the room and the room's full of broken glass
Blood on the pieces, the pieces I can't put back

Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways and
No I don't mind, clean eyes (clean eyes)
Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains and
I don't know why, clean eyes

Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart in all the right ways and
No I don't mind, clean eyes
Oh clean eyes
Breaking my heart and breaking my chains and
I don't know why, clean eyes (clean eyes)
