Tom Walker - Fly Away With Me

 
I'm strumming on the corner
About to catch last the train home
I'll have to jump the barriers
So can you spare a penny for my thoughts
I've been praised upon the pavements
Passers by don't pay much
Chased away by neighbours
Seen things you couldn't make up
If these streets could talk
They'd tell a story or two
I'll paint a picture for you

I can tell you what it feels like
To lose your home on a cold night
Can you see the blood in my red eyes
Have another toke, we'll forget life

So come and fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be
We can bottle up our fear
Brew a taste so sweet
Knock us off our feet
And we'll
Burn our troubles
Inhale them all
Paint the future on a fractured wall
So come and fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be

Still in the station when I wake up
I missed the last train home
Jump back over the barriers
No one's got a penny for my flaws
I'm asleep upon the pavement
Passersby don't say much, tutted at by strangers
Dreamt things you'd never dream of
If these streets could talk they'd tell a story or two
I'll paint a picture for you

I can tell you what it feels like
To lose something you love on a cold night
As the cars roll by under the street lights
There's only one way I can forget life

So come and fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be
We can bottle up our fear
Brew a taste so sweet
Knock us off our feet
And we'll
Burn our troubles
Inhale them all
Paint the future on a fractured wall
So come and fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be

We could be anyone we wanna be
We could be anyone we wanna be

These streets I'm walking
They've started talking to me
Can't you see?
There's only one way outta here
We have to face the things we fear
And we could be anyone we wanna be
Yeah we could be anyone we wanna be

So come and fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be
We can bottle up our fear
Brew a taste so sweet
Knock us off our feet
And we'll
Burn our troubles
Inhale them all
Paint the future on a fractured wall
So come and fly away with me
To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be

We could be anyone we wanna be
We could be anyone we wanna be
 

 

Arromanches (Calvados)


 

Shakespears Sister - Stay (Acoustic version)

 
If this world is wearing thin
And you're thinking of escape
I'll go anywhere with you
Just wrap me up in chains
But if you try to go alone
Don't think I'll understand

Stay with me, stay with me

In the silence of your room
In the darkness of your dreams
You must only think of me
There can be no in between
When your pride is on the floor
I'll make you beg for more

Stay with me, stay with me

You'd better hope and pray
That you'll make it safe
Back to your own world
You'd better hope and pray
That you'll wake one day
In your own world

'Cause when you sleep at night
They don't hear you cries in your own world
Only time will tell if you can break the spell
Back in your own world

Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me...
 

 

Marillion - You're Gone

 
You're gone. As suddenly as you came to me
Like nightfall followed dawn without a day between
You're gone and suddenly I can't see
I'm in the shadow of you
I'm in the shadow of you
I can see you in my minds rose-tinted eye..
Somewhere you're drifting by
Your heels rolling sparks on the lucky street

While here am I, left behind
Stunned and blind
But I can see you from here
I can see you so clear

You are the light
You are the light
You have the day
I have the night
But we have the early hours together

You're gone, and heaven cries.
A thunderstorm breaks from the northern sky
Chasing you back to the daily grind

You're gone. And where am I?
A haunted life
The ghost of your laughter
The half-empty glass
The half-empty glass

And I wait
'til midnight tolls
Two souls almost touching in the dark
I'll be allright

You are the light
You are the light
You have the day
I have the night
But we have the early hours
We have the early hours
We have the early hours together 

 

Niykee Heaton - Lullaby (Up!)

 
Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something
Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something
Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something

Red cup chilling with my hands up
Killing it, I can't stop
Sinning, but I'm winning, so lifted
I'mma take you there
I'mma take you there
Lips so pretty when I lay low
Pull up in your city with my bass low
Can't go with me
Imma take you there
Imma take you there

Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something
Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something

Can't fuck with me, got my lane closed, shifting
Wearing plain clothes, shitting on you lame hoes
Simply tryna take you there
Let me take you there
Hold up, hold up
Can't fuck with another
Can't touch, only wanna make you love
Baby, let me break you off
Tell me, let me take you there
Let me take you there

Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something
Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something

So, baby turn the lights off
Let me get inside your mind
Hit the right spot
Swear to god
Oh, baby turn the lights off
Let me get inside your mind
Hit the right spot
Swear to god

Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something
Let me sing you a lullaby
Promise I won't stay the night
I just wanna make you feel something, something

Imagine Dragons - Birds (Up!)

 
Two hearts, one valve
Pumpin' the blood, we were the flood
We were the body and
Two lives, one life
Stickin' it out, lettin' you down
Makin' it right

Seasons, they will change
Life will make you grow
Dreams will make you cry, cry, cry
Everything is temporary
Everything will slide
Love will never die, die, die

I know that
Ooh, birds fly in different directions
Ooh, I hope to see you again

Sunsets, sunrises
Livin' the dream, watchin' the leaves
Changin' the seasons
Some nights I think of you
Relivin' the past, wishin' it'd last
Wishin' and dreamin'

Seasons, they will change
Life will make you grow
Death can make you hard, hard, hard
Everything is temporary
Everything will slide
Love will never die, die, die

I know that
Ooh, birds fly in different directions
Ooh, I hope to see you again
Ooh, birds fly in different directions
Ooh, so fly high, so fly high

When the moon is lookin' down
Shinin' light up on your ground
I'm flyin' up to let you see
That the shadow cast is me

I know that
Ooh, birds fly in different directions
Ooh, I hope to see you again
Ooh, birds fly in different directions
Ooh, so fly high, so fly high
Ooh, so fly high, so fly high
Ooh, so fly high, so fly high 


Борис Гребенщиков - Крестовый Поход Птиц

 
Крестовый поход птиц
Начался в чистый четверг
Едва уловимая рябь
Вдоль крыш
По слову пернатых святых
Проникновение вверх
Радость моя
Ты все равно спишь

Долго мы жили впотьмах
И там был потерян ключ
И нас замела круговерть
Сентября
И когда уже нечего ждать
Зеленый луч
Радость моя
Я знал, что не зря

Скажи мне как нам петь тебя
И когда меркнет свет
Пересвети
Зажги мне руки, чтобы я мог взять
Это небо как нож
И вырезать нас из сети
Вырезать нас из сети

Teddy Swims - You're Still The One (Shania Twain Cover)

 
Looks like we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby
We might've took the long way
We knew we'd get there someday

They said that I bet they'll never make it
But just look at us holdin' on
We're still together, still goin' strong

(You're still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(Still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

Ain't nothin' better
We beat the odds together
I'm glad we didn't listen
Look at what we would be missin'

They said "I bet they'll never make it"
But just look at us holdin' on
We're still together, still goin' strong

(Still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(Still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

Still the one
Still the one

Yeah (Still the one)
You're still the one I run to
The one that I belong to
You're still the one I want for life
(Still the one)
You're still the one I love
The only one I dream of
You're still the one I kiss goodnight

I'm so glad we made it
Look how far we've come, my baby 

 

Honfleur (Calvados)


 

Bruce Springsteen - The River

 
I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride

Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress

That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
Ah-yah

I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well, mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
And Mary acts like she don't care

But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse

That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Ah-yah-yah
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride
Ah-yah-ay

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh 

 

U2 - Song For Someone (Up!)

 
You got a face not spoiled by beauty
I have some scars from where I've been
You've got eyes that can see right through me
You're not afraid of anything they've seen

I was told that I would feel
Nothing the first time
I don't know how these cuts heal
But in you I found a rhyme

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

You let me in to a conversation
A conversation only we could make
You break and enter my imagination
Whatever's in there it's yours to take

I was told I'd feel
Nothing the first time
You were slow to heal
But this could be the night

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Within and without
And there is a light
Don't let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone

And I'm a long way
From your hill of Calvary
And I'm a long way
From where I was, where I need to be

If there is a light
You can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a kiss
I stole from your mouth
And there is a light
Don't let it go out 



Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow (Up!)

 
Fall

Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't want to change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

Open your eyes!

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive; paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

Fall! 


Wayne's World - I Will Not Bow to Any Sponsor

 
Benjamin: Wayne! Listen, we need to have a talk about Vanderhoff. The fact is he's the sponsor and you signed a contract guaranteeing him certain concessions, one of them being a spot on the show
 
Wayne Campbell: [holding a Pizza Hut box]  Well that's where I see things just a little differently. Contract or no, I will not bow to any sponsor.
 
BenjaminI'm sorry you feel that way, but basically it's the nature of the beast.

Wayne Campbell: [holding a bag of Doritos] Maybe I'm wrong on this one, but for me, the beast doesn't include selling out. Garth, you know what I'm talking about, right?

Garth Algar: [wearing Reebok wardrobe] It's like people only do these things because they can get paid. And that's just really sad.

Wayne Campbell: I can't talk about it anymore; it's giving me a headache.

Garth Algar: Here, take two of these!

[Dumps two Nuprin pills into Wayne's hand] 

Wayne Campbell: Ah, Nuprin. Little. Yellow. Different.

Benjamin: Look, you can stay here in the big leagues and play by the rules, or you can go back to the farm club in Aurora. It's your choice.

Wayne Campbell: [holding a can of Pepsi] Yes, and it's the choice of a new generation. 


 


Eivør Pálsdóttir & Margrét Eir - Heyr, Himna Smiður (Again & Again)

 
Heyr, himna smiður,
hvers skáldið biður.
Komi mjúk til mín
miskunnin þín.
Því heit eg á þig,
þú hefur skaptan mig.
Eg er þrællinn þinn,
þú ert drottinn minn.

Guð, heit eg á þig,
að þú græðir mig.
Minnst þú, mildingur, mín,
mest þurfum þín.
Ryð þú, röðla gramur,
ríklyndur og framur,
hölds hverri sorg
úr hjartaborg.

Gæt þú, mildingur, mín,
mest þurfum þín,
helzt hverja stund
á hölda grund.
Send þú, meyjar mögur,
málsefnin fögur,
öll er hjálp af þér,
í hjarta mér.

 

Ásgeir Trausti Einarsson - In Harmony

 
I am
A soul I float amongst the fjords
And I am
Creating fire which will find you
Your eyes
I see the ocean deep in your eyes
Now I
I know that nothing here can harm me now

I rest inside the hope of odds to come
Then end up in harmony

Always
Please tell me who will fall and who has fallen
Who hides and wants to be forgotten
My eyes
I see the path now clearly to you
Now I
I see the dream is now becoming true

This well, it overflows
My hope, my life
Then end up in harmony

I am
A soul I float amongst the fjords
And I am
Creating fire which will find you
My eyes
I see the path now clearly to you
Now I
I see the dream is now becoming true

This well, it overflows
My hope, my life
Then end up in harmony 

 

Morgan Wallen - Smile

 
I can't remember the last time
You looked as happy as you did tonight
Your tipsy friend grabbed that bartender
Gave him her phone and pulled us over there with her

He counted to three
And baby, I haven't seen that side of you in forever
And I hate it's the truth but, baby, you never do when we're alone together

It was good to see you smile
Girl, you know it's been a while
It was good to see you smile
Even if it was just for the picture

They say a picture's worth a thousand words
But you ain't said one since you woke up
Silly me, thinkin' we could make it work
Can you blame me for getting my hopes up?

You know it took me right back
To how it used to be
Baby, seeing us like that
Is still a little bittersweet

But it was good to see you smile
Girl, you know it's been a while
It was good to see you smile
Even if it was just for the picture

If someone were to see this, they'd think everything's alright
At least we got a pretty little moment frozen in time

It was good to see you smile
Girl, you know it's been a while
It was good to see you smile
Even if it was just for the picture
Even if it was just for the picture 

 

Denez Prigent - An Hini A Garan

 
An hini a garan, gwechall bihan er gêr
Pa oamp tostig an eil, an eil ouzh egile
Va c'halon ne gare, gare nemet unan
Pa oan bihan er gêr an hini a garan

An hini a garan, 'm eus kollet da viken
'Mañ degouezhet pell ha ne zistroio ken
Ha setu ma kanan, kanan keti ketañ
Ha setu ma kanan d'an hini a garan

An hini a garan, un deiz 'n eus va losket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell, d'ur vro n'an'vezan ket
Aet eo d'ar broioù pell da c'hounit e vara 
 Kollet, kollet un deiz, an hini a garan
Deiz ha bloaz laouen dit, Carol.

Tourterelle (ou pigeon ?), Hôpital Garonne (Toulouse)


 

The Steel Woods - Southern Accents

 
There's a southern accent
Where I come from
The young'uns call it country
And the yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talkin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from

Now that drunk tank in Atlanta
Was just a motel room to me
I think I might go work Orlando
If the orange groves don't freeze
I got my own way of working
But everything is run
With a southern accent
Where I come from

For just a minute there, I was dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standing there with me

There's a dream that I keep having
Where my mama comes to me
And kneels down by the window
And says a prayer for me
I got my own way of praying
But every prayer's begun
With a southern accent
Where I come from

I got my own way of talkin'
But everything gets done
With a southern accent
Where I come from

The Ron Hicklin Singers - Suicide Is Painless

 

Through early morning fog I see

Visions of the things to be

The pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see

 

That suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please

 

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

So this is all I have to say

 

Suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please

 

The sword of time will pierce our skin

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger, watch it grin

 

Suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please

 

A brave man once requested me

To answer questions that are key

"Is it to be or not to be?"

And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?"

 

Suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

And I can take or leave it if I please

And you can do the same thing if you please



Wintersun - Darkness And Frost & Time (Up!)

 
Darkness and frost are starting to reach
The heart of this land with a cold disease
Sleep now for a while before the storm awakes
And one day it will reward you for the burden of wait
The roots go deep into the frozen dead ground
Listen to the land of snow, it makes no sound
For ages searching the warmth of the sun
If it never finds me, I can die as one

Time will go on and we are drifting away in the night
I've been searching so long but I will find you even if it takes my whole life
But tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone
Oh time, don't fade away when I need you here oh please don't leave me now

Time!

Time!
Fades away!
When time fades away!
And I'll never be the same

Time!
Time!
Time!
Time!
Time!
Time!
Time!
Time!

You want so much from me
(I feel nothing but grief and despair)
How can I make you feel again
(All my dreams are just visions I can't bear)
You want something that I can't give
(I cannot keep living in this bitter dream)
It feels like my life is ending

Oh, another year gone by
But nothing has changed in my life
And time goes on forever and ever
And it waits for no one

Time will go on and we are drifting away in the night
I`ve been searching so long but I will find you even if it takes my whole life
But tonight I feel so alone and I know that you are forever gone
Oh time, don't fade away when I need you here oh please don't leave me now
Oh please don't leave me now

Time!
Fades away!
And I
Fade away
And I'll never be the same
Time!
Fades away!
When time fades away!
And I'll never be the same
And I
Fade away
When time fades away!
And I'll never be the same
