Cocteau Twins - Bluebeard (Up!)

 
Aliveness
Exploration
Aliveness
Energy

Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?
Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?

Aliveness
Exploration
Fulfillment
Creativity

It may be diverting
For some part of him

Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?
Or are you toxic for me?
Will you betray my confidence?

Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?
Or are you toxic for me?
Will you betray my confidence?

Naming things is empowering
I balance, walk, and coordinate myself, alive
Aliveness energy

Healthy dependence
And healthy independence
And healthy assurances
This love's a nameless dream
And healthy boundaries
And how long would you miss me

Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?
Or are you toxic for me?
Will you mistreat me
Or betray all my confidence?

Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?
Or are you toxic for me?
Will you mistreat me
Or betray all my confidence?

Are you the right man for me?
Are you safe? Are you my friend?
Or are you toxic for me?
Will you mistreat me
Or betray all my confidence?

Hollow Coves - Purple

 
Let's go to that place where I took you last summer before the fall
Where the sky was purple and we drank from the bottle
We felt it all
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes

I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies

Let's go to that place where I took you last summer on top of the hill
Where the path was golden as it led to the ocean
Quiet and still
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes

I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies

I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies
I wish that I could stay here all my life
Just you and I sitting under purple skies

There is a place nothing compares to but we only know
With a meaning so special
A place that was meant for more than we know
By the lighthouse on the hill we opened a door to a different world
Leaving everything behind
Just you and I
Open up your eyes 

 

SYML - Carry No Thing

 

Where do we go when the last one falls?
When the sky goes dark and the siren calls
And there ain't no hope to be had at all
I will carry no thing but my love for you

I figure we got 'bout a hundred days
With the good supplies and the money we saved
But a time to move's no time to waste
I will carry no thing but my love for you

There will always be a last day for me
When it calls my name, I will answer true
All the good and the bad, I will let it be
And I will carry no thing but my love for you

Where do we run when the levees burst
And an angry god has quenched his thirst?
A storm for the ages, hell on earth
I will carry no thing but my love for you

There will always be a last day for me
When it calls my name, I will answer true
All the good and the bad, I will let it be
And I will carry no thing but my love for you

All the good and the bad, I will let it be
And I will carry no thing but my love for you

Where do we go when the trumpets sound?
When the last day comes and it leaves no doubt
Like some lost gold, leave me underground
I will carry no thing but my love for you
I will carry no thing but my love for you 

 

Amber Run - Fickle Game

 
I wanna be older, I wanna be stronger
I don't wanna fall at the start
I wanna be quicker, I wanna get closer
Don't wanna feel worlds apart

Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble, and not fast enough to get away
I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again

It's all a fickle game
Life's a fickle game we play

I wanna be older, I wanna be stronger
I don't wanna fall at the start
I wanna be quicker, I wanna get closer
I don't wanna feel worlds apart

Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble, and not fast enough to get away
And I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again

It's all a fickle game
Oh life's a fickle game we play

It's a fickle game

Cause I'm fast enough to get in trouble, and not fast enough to get away
And I'm old enough to know I'll end up dying
And not young enough to forget again

I'm sick of fickle games
It's life's a fickle game we play 
 


Soen - The Words

 
Shiver through the fever, silence of the trees
Chasing woes of my weary soul, blight of the leaves

Rest from your trouble, lay while you wait
Dream something beautiful
Fill these blank pages with rue, each one

Patient you stayed by my side for years
I know I owe you more than I have
Given the words that will make you leave
There's nothing left here, no one to save

How we share this hopeless devotion
Passing the hours as if they were days
And I won't breathe until it's over
No turning back here, no final escape

Bide here for the closing, fearless by the sea
Time to let go of what always' been there, peacefully

Struck by your silence, drenched in my doubt
Numb from the burning cold
Tear out the pages, change what I said
Mend my wrong

Patient you stayed by my side for years
I know I owe you more than I have
Given the words that will make you leave
There's nothing left here, no one to save

How we share this hopeless devotion
Passing the hours as if they were days
And I won't breathe until it's over
No turning back here, no final escape

Yes - Love Will Find A Way (❤️)

 
You wanna get close to me
The feeling so clear
But I need some time to see
Vision through my tear
You wanna get next to me
I need your intrusion
I don't need to be
Blinded by confusion

Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at chez nous

Love will find a way
If you want it to
Love will find a way
Love will find a way for me and you

Love will find a way
Love will find a way
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

So you want to get over me
And that's how you feel
Everything you want to be
Seems so unreal
I want to be all of you
And that's the confusion
It's so hard for me
To draw a conclusion

Here is my heart
Waiting for you
Here is my soul
I eat at chez nous

Love will find a way
If you want it to
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Love will find a way
If you want it to
Love will find a way
Love will find a way

Love will find a way
I believe that there's a way
If you want it to
Will love find a way
Love will find a way
Will love find a way
Love will find a way 



Bee Gees - Tragedy

 
Here I lie in a lost and lonely part of town
Held in time in a world of tears, I slowly drown
Goin' home, I just can't make it all alone
I really should be holding you, holding you
Loving you, loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Night and day, there's a burning down inside of me, aah
Burning love with a yearning that won't let me be
Down I go, and I just can't take it all alone
I really should be holding you, holding you
Loving you, loving you

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
(Aah) Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're goin' nowhere
Aah

Tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
(Aah) Tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Aah, tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
(Aah) Aah, tragedy
When you lose control and you got no soul, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one beside you, you're goin' nowhere

Aah, tragedy
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on, it's tragedy
When the morning cries and you don't know why, it's hard to bear
With no one to love you, you're goin' nowhere
Aah, tragedy 

 

Foreigner - Luanne

 
Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

I wait around for you after school
You slip away and I don't see you
Don't know what I'm gonna do
If you can't see how much I need you
We met, one day, and then, you ran away
I've searched the whole town looking for you
I know you're there somewhere

Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

I write letters that I never send
I keep the words to whisper to you someday
I don't know where and I don't know when
Luanne I'm gonna get to you someway
I want to feel your love so close to me
Give me just half a chance
To prove myself, I need to

Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

These days true love is so hard to find
Someday I know you're gonna be mine
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, ooh

Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Why do you run and hide?
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

Luanne, Luanne
Don't need to run and hide
Luanne, Luanne
Don't keep your love inside

Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
I wanna be beside you, can't you understand?
Luanne, Luanne, Luanne, Luanne
Give me a little love, I know you can
Luanne, Luanne
Can't you hear me calling?
Luanne 

 

Toto - Africa (Up!)

 
I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in twelve-thirty flight
Her moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation

I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
"Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti

I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

"Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had 

 

Linkin Park - Somewhere I Belong

 
(When this began)
I had nothing to say
And I'd get lost in the nothingness inside of me
(I was confused)
And I let it all out to find
That I'm not the only person with these things in mind
(Inside of me)
But all the vacancy the words revealed
Is the only real thing that I've got left to feel
(Nothing to lose)
Just stuck, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

And I've got nothing to say
I can't believe I didn't fall right down on my face
(I was confused)
Looking everywhere only to find
That it's not the way I had imagined it all in my mind
(So what am I?)
What do I have but negativity
'Cause I can't justify the way, everyone is looking at me
(Nothing to lose)
Nothing to gain, hollow and alone
And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I will never know myself until I do this on my own
And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed
I will never be anything 'til I break away from me
I will break away, I'll find myself today

I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've felt so long
(Erase all the pain 'til it's gone)
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I'm somewhere I belong
Somewhere I belong

The Clash - London Calling

 
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared, and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don't look to us
Phoney Beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain't got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I live by the river

London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it brother, you can go it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out, and draw another breath
London calling, and I don't wanna shout
But while we were talking, I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain't got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river

The ice age is coming, the sun's zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
'Cause London is drowning, and I, I live by the river

Now get this...

London calling, yes, I was there too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true!
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won't you give me a smile?
London calling...

I never felt so much alike alike alike alike... 
Keir Starmer: "Er...you mentioned Canada - I think you're trying to find a divide between us that doesn't...er... exist. We're the closest of nations. We had very good discussions today...er....but we didn't discuss Canada...
Donald Trump: "That's enough! Thank you."

Sia - Saved My Life

 
Boom, boom, boom
Beats my heart, heart, heart
Baby boom, boom, boom
In the dark, dark, dark
Baby boom, boom, boom
Fall apart, part, part
Baby boom, boom, boom
From the start, start, start

But I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
Yeah, I've been waiting for you

Well someone must have sent you here to save my life
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
I know that in darkness I have found my light
I know that in darkness I've been given sight
In your loving arms I feel delight
In your loving arms I'll be alright
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
Someone must have sent you here to save my life

Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life

High, high, high
We take flight, flight, flight
Baby high, high, high
Touch the sky, sky, sky
Baby high, high, high
Diamond nights, nights, nights
Baby, high, high, high
'Cause love don't lie, lie, lie

I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you

Well someone must have sent you here to save my life
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
I know that in darkness I have found my light
I know that in darkness I've been given sight
In your loving arms I feel delight
In your loving arms I'll be alright
Someone must have sent you to save me tonight
Someone must have sent you here to save my life

Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life

Save my life, save my life
Save my life (Someone must have sent you here to...)
Save my life, save my life
Save my life, save my life
You saved my life

I Prevail - Alone (Up!)

 
We used to have it all
It was us against the world, but now
I’ve been sleeping on my own
Spending all these nights alone knowing you’re not coming home

Cause you’re running through my dreams
It’s like you’re on repeat
Feels like eternity, and I can’t believe

I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone

You left me all alone

I would’ve gave it all
Truth be told I can’t believe you’re gone
Like a dream I can’t recall
Now I gotta face the fact that you’re never coming back

Cause you’re running through my dreams
It’s like you’re on repeat
Feels like eternity, and I can’t believe

I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I’ll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone

You left me all alone

I see you in my dreams
I can’t believe you’re gone
When it’s too dark to see
I’ll leave the light on
I’ll leave the light on
I’ll leave the light on
When it’s too dark to see

I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone
I let you in, you bled me out
You left me skin and bone, you left me all alone
You used to run, run through my veins
And to be honest, I know I’ll never be the same
I let you in, you left me out
You left me on my own, you left me all alone 



Nightwish - High Hopes (Pink Floyd cover)

 
Beyond the horizon of the place we lived when we were young
In a world of magnets and miracles
Our thoughts strayed constantly and without boundary
The ringing of the division bell had begun

Along the Long Road and on down the Causeway
Do they still meet there by the Cut

There was a ragged band that followed in our footsteps
Running before time took our dreams away
Leaving the myriad small creatures trying to tie us to the ground
To a life consumed by slow decay

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
With friends surrounded
The nights of wonder

Looking beyond the embers of bridges glowing behind us
To a glimpse of how green it was on the other side
Steps taken forwards but sleepwalking back again
Dragged by the force of some inner tide

At a higher altitude with flag unfurled
We reached the dizzy heights of that dreamed of world

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition
There's a hunger still unsatisfied
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon
Though down this road we've been so many times

The grass was greener
The light was brighter
The taste was sweeter
The nights of wonder
With friends surrounded
The dawn mist glowing
The water flowing
The endless river

Forever and ever

"Hey?"
"Yes."
"Is that Charlie?"
"Yes."
"Hello, Charlie!"
"Great."

Bruce Springsteen - Tougher Than the Rest (Up!)

 
Well, it's Saturday night
You're all dressed up in blue
I been watching you awhile
Maybe you been watching me, too
So somebody ran out
Left somebody's heart in a mess
Well, if you're looking for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Some girls, they want a handsome Dan
Or some good-lookin' Joe on their arm
Some girls like a sweet-talkin' Romeo
Well, 'round here, baby
I learned you get what you can get
So if you're rough enough for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

The road is dark
And it's a thin thin line
But I want you to know I'll walk it for you any time
Maybe your other boyfriends
Couldn't pass the test
Well, if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest

Well, it ain't no secret
I've been around a time or two
Well, I don't know baby maybe you've been around too
Well, there's another dance
All you gotta do is say yes
And if you're rough and ready for love
Honey, I'm tougher than the rest
If you're rough enough for love
Baby, I'm tougher than the rest

Liebe

 

Wenn ich weiß, was Liebe ist, dann wegen dir.

Hermann Hesse

Legião Urbana - Ainda É Cedo

 

Uma menina me ensinou
Quase tudo que eu sei
Era quase escravidão
Mas ela me tratava como um rei

Ela fazia muitos planos
Eu só queria estar ali
Sempre ao lado dela
Eu não tinha aonde ir

Mas egoísta que eu sou
Me esqueci de ajudar
A ela como ela me ajudou
E não quis me separar

Ela também estava perdida
E por isso se agarrava a mim também
E eu me agarrava a ela
Porque eu não tinha mais ninguém

E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo

Sei que ela terminou
O que eu não comecei
E o que ela descobriu
Eu aprendi também, eu sei

Ela falou: Você tem medo
Aí eu disse: Quem tem medo é você
Falamos o que não devia
Nunca ser dito por ninguém

Ela me disse: Eu não sei
Mais o que eu sinto por você
Vamos dar um tempo
Um dia a gente se vê

E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
E eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
Cedo, cedo, cedo, cedo
Ah, eu dizia: Ainda é cedo
