Within Temptation - Stand My Ground (Up!)

 
I can see
When you stay low nothing happens
Does it feel right?

Late at night
Things I thought I put behind me
Haunt my mind

I just know there's no escape
Now once it sets its eyes on you
But I won't run,
Have to stare it in the eye

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

It's all around
Getting stronger, coming closer
Into my world

I can feel
That it's time for me to face it
Can I take it?

Though this might just be the ending
Of the life I held so dear
But I won't run,
There's no turning back from here

Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I've got to face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand my ground

All I know for sure is I'm trying
I will always stand my ground

Stand my ground, I won't give in (I won't give in)
I won't give up (I won't give up)
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will

Stand my ground, I won't give in
no more denying, I got to face it
won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
if I don't make it, someone else will
stand my ground

Nightly - Twenty Something

 
Talk you down
Wasted on the couch
Say what you're feeling now
Don't hold back
Spell it out
Spare me your dirty mouth
Whatever is keeping you here now
Don't let it fade

Caught in a web of your memories
Like the way we would talk, we were 17
But I'm losing the feeling that's keeping me
Here now, here now

So don't freak out, we're only twenty something
All I know is that with you there's something
So different, and I will never slow down
And I will never slow down
Lay right here and we can waste away
Taste the corners of your pretty face
All I know is that with you there's something
And I will never slow down

What's there to cry about
Such a shame to see a face like yours
Fallin' to pieces on the bathroom floor
We can stay up all night
Till you're sure
Oh it's alright

And if you decided
That you don't wanna stay
I won't try and stop you
From moving to LA
But know that I still hate it
Every time you say
"Will you forget about me?"

So don't freak out, we're only twenty something
All I know is that with you there's something
So different, and I will never slow down
And I will never slow down
Lay right here and we can waste away
Taste the corners of your pretty face
All I know is that with you there's something
And I will never slow down

Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something
Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something
Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something
Don't freak out
Don't stop now babe
We're only twenty something
We're only twenty something

Lord Huron - Looking Back

 
With a little bit of money, I'll get gone, and I won't be found
With a little bit of luck, I'll find the place where I can stay forever
If I get a little bit of money, I'll get gone, and I won't be found
Don't want nothing but a lonesome, quiet place where I can think

Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was
Something changed the day you left, and I'll never know just what
I'll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am
Something tells me you and I will never meet again

Had a few good years out on my own, but it didn't last long
Had a couple, good friends, we used to pass the lonely days together
Made a little bit of money, and I got stoned, and I let it all go
All I want is a noisy, crowded place where I can drink

Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was
Something changed the day you left, and I'll never know just what
I'll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am
Something tells me you and I will never meet again

I'm gonna see if I can live outside the lines of my body and mind
I'm gonna see if I can find the time to sit and wonder why forever
If I need a little money, I'll sell my soul, though it isn't worth much
Maybe I can pay my cosmic debt before I turn to dust

Spent my whole life looking back and wondering who I was
Something changed the day you left, and I'll never know just what
I'll spend my whole life looking up and wondering who I am
Something tells me you and I will never meet again 

 

Kaleo - Run No More

 
Oh, one day
One day, we will rise
Oh, enough to find
Little hope left alive

Just one day, baby
Just one day at a time
Say you're blind
If you can't see the light

Push me down, push me out
Pushed around all my life
All my life
Been afraid of the dark

'Cause when I turn to you, Lord
Turn me down every time
Say you're blind
And you can't see the light

Oh, stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more

When I rise
When I rise from the dark
Whoa, your eyes
They won't judge me no more

And if you turn to me, Lord
I will not turn you down
Whoa, child, we've been running all our life
All our lives

Stand close, brother, next to me
Share your color, make them see
Guard your honor and dare to dream

One day, baby, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
One day, baby, we don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more

Is it down to you and me?
Is it only us that see?
Someone here's got to change this world
Start to feel that we never will

Oh, is it only you and I?
Has everyone else gone blind?
Someone here's got to change this world
If you never dream, then you never will

Oh, one day
Yes, one day
Oh, one day, hey, hey
Oh, one day

Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)

Oh, one day (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
One day (One day, baby)
Oh, one day (One day, baby)
We will rise again (One day, baby)

One day, baby, baby (One day, baby)
Don't have to run no more
Don't have to run no more
We don't have to run no more



M83 - Us And The Rest

 
Dry heart
A loss of all desire
Flee to the moon hill

Bliss, you're it

Night of gold
Incoming

Hello, freak
Can you see the sky ladder
By the limbo café
Leading to the green ray?
Sometimes it fades

Night of gold
Incoming
Night of gold
Incoming

Night of gold
Incoming
Night of gold
Incoming 

 

SYML - Wake

 

In the wake of an accidental love
In the violence I will still my lungs
And live in the moments when I can't breathe
You silent my storm and tame my seas

Sweet obsession left me with no choice
You're an anthem I will lose my voice
I tethered myself to a dance with you
And I felt no fear when I came to

Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Steady now, steady my heart when the lights go down
Steady my heart when the lights go down

With a shot I fall and I spill my love
I was naked arms around the sun
Should've held out for a stronger frame
Covered in red but I have no shame, no shame, no shame

Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Steady now, steady my heart when the lights go down
Steady my heart when the lights go down

You couldn't know what you meant for me
Buried in love I will find some sleep

Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Steady now, steady my heart when the lights go down
Rest your weary head, she's a longtime coming
Desolate, bury my heart when the lights go down
Bury my heart when the lights go down

Philipp Dittberner - Das Ist Dein Leben

 
Da draußen tobt doch alles weiter
Auch wenn ich heute nicht mehr wär'
Die Leute kaufen teure Dinge
Das Leben ist und bleibt unfair
Wir trinken Wein an meinem Fenster
Im Rausch schauen wir dem Ganzen zu
Und müssen beide wieder lachen
Irgendwie gehören wir doch dazu

Das ist dein Leben, das ist wie du lebst
Warum du liebst und lachst und dich selbst nicht so verstehst
Warum du dir wieder so fremd bist, in einer doch so hellen Zeit
Warum du den wieder vermisst, der dich sicher nicht befreit

Ja genau, das ist dein Leben; das ist wie du lebst
Warum wir manchmal fliegen; nichtmal wissen wie es geht
Und wir immer wieder aufstehen und anfangen zu gehen
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben und du wirst es nie verstehen

Dein Lächeln passt zu meinem Fenster;
Neuer Schein und altbekannt
Du sagst, wir haben uns nie verlaufen;
Wir haben uns ab und zu verrannt

Und die Sache wird schon laufen
Wenn man sich hier nicht verliert
Und bei all den kleinen Chancen
Wird's immer wieder neu riskiert

Das ist dein Leben, das ist wie du lebst
Warum du liebst und lachst und dich selbst nicht so verstehst
Warum du dir wieder so fremd bist, in einer doch so hellen Zeit
Warum du den wieder vermisst, der dich sicher nicht befreit

Ja genau, das ist dein Leben; das ist wie du lebst
Warum wir manchmal fliegen; nichtmal wissen wie es geht
Und wir immer wieder aufstehen und anfangen zu gehen
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben und du wirst es nie verstehen

Vielleicht überschwänglich groß oder doch zu klein geträumt
Hab ich bei all den andern Zweifeln, mein Happy End doch glatt versäumt
Es ist egal, wer da noch kommt oder schon gegangen ist
Es ist okay, dass du halt bist, wie du halt bist

Denn das ist dein Leben, das ist wie du lebst
Warum du liebst und lachst und dich selbst nicht so verstehst
Warum du dir wieder so fremd bist, in einer doch so hellen Zeit
Warum du den wieder vermisst, der dich sicher nicht befreit

Ja genau, das ist dein Leben; das ist wie du lebst
Warum wir manchmal fliegen; nichtmal wissen wie es geht
Und wir immer wieder aufstehen und anfangen zu gehen
Ja genau, das ist dein Leben und du wirst es nie verstehen

Ólafur Arnalds ft. Atli Örvarsson, SinfoniaNord - Öldurót

 


The Steel Woods - Devil In This Holler

 
I get here early, and I go home late
Lately, what seems like every day
I keep my head up till I stop to pray
At the top of the hill is a sacred place

But down in the valley is where I roam
With these faded memories and half-written songs
And just when it seems that nothing else could go wrong
That's when I'm reminded we're not alone

There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down

Well, I throw my hand up when I'm driving in
Speak to the ones that ask me how I've been
By the time that I leave, I'm tired and in pain
I put the pedal to the floor on my way home to beat the train

I find my pride at the end of the day
My kids and my bride are why I live this way
Hand in hand at the table
Thank God for one more night
If I wake up in the morning, I'll be ready for the fight

There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down

There's a devil in this holler
There's evil in these hills
I'm just trying to make a dollar 'cause I've got to pay my bills
There might be gold on this mountain, but there's fire on the ground
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down
Yeah, there's a devil in this holler, but he ain't gonna pull me down 

 

Ásgeir - On That Day (Þennan Dag)

 
You were my heart flower my poetry my song
Just one look at you and then I knew
On that day, serendipity smiled down on me

Time flew by swiftly; life was filled with dance and song
But it wasn't long before I learnt
On that day, you don't get to call the shots that way

I still think about the possibility of love
I see reflections of that moment now
From that day, just a fleeting glimpse that will not stay

You were my heart flower my poetry my song
But it wasn't long before I learnt
On that day, you don't get to call the shots that way
You don't get to call the shots that way
You don't get to call the shots that way 

 

Soen ft. Elisa - Hollowed (Again & Again)

 
Come to me
Hold me close to your side
'Cause I still depend on your hurting words

Talk to me
Ease my need to be heard
Choke this flame that is burning our home

Are we strong enough to move on
From this never-ending loneliness?
Will we find the will to find hope?
Will our demons soon be laid to rest?

'Cause we're nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade

Promise me
That one day when you're done
You will cut out this thorn from my heart

Because both of us are searching for a reason
A clue on why we have to carry on
So tell me why it feels like it is treason
To leave our home

'Cause we're nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade
Nothing but a shadow
Nothing but a shade

Time does nothing but help us heal
Still nothing will ever be as real
Nothing but a shadow
As the times we had
And that has now left our lives

Time does nothing but help us heal
Still nothing will ever be as real
Nothing but a shadow
As the times we had
And that has now left our lives 

 


Amber Run - Affection

 
Trust me
It always turns out the same
Affection has always been a little game
Forgive me
It's one I've never understood
Love to me has been as bad as good

I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

Affection

Believe me
It happens all the time
Affection can be as cruel as it is kind
Lover
Won't you give me a sign
Love can be as deaf as it is blind

I've been drowning in the water
That you're walking on
Falling through the air as you float up

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

Fall down into sleep
Into a fevered dream
Where I barely know what is going on
Except I know that I want you
And I know that I need you
And I tell you I love you again and again and again and again

Hey ya, hey ya
I'll kiss your eyes and wash your skin
Hey ya, hey ya
Forget myself and let you in
Hey ya, hey ya
Because all I want is that cold affliction
Your affection

Affection 

 

Teddy Swims - Lose Control

 
Something's got a hold of me lately
No, I don't know myself anymore
Feels like the walls are all closing in
And the devil's knocking at my door, whoa

Outta my mind, how many times
Did I tell you I'm no good at being alone?
Yeah it's taking a toll on me, trying my best to keep
From tearing the skin off my bones

Don't you know
I lose control
When you're not next to me?
I'm falling apart right in front of you
Can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me?
Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby
You make a mess of me

Problematic, problem is
I want your body like a fiend, like a bad habit
Bad habit's hard to break when I'm with you
Yeah I know, I could do it on my own, but I want
That real full moon black magic and it takes two
Problematic, problem is
When I'm with you I'm an addict
And I need some relief, my skin in your teeth
Can't see the forest through the trees
Got me down on my knees, darling please, oh

I lose control
When you're not next to me
I'm falling apart right in front of you
Can't you see
I lose control
When you're not next to me?
Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby
You make a mess of me, yeah

I lose control
When you're not here with me
I'm falling apart right in front of you
Can't you see
I lose control
When you're not here with me?
Yeah, you're breaking my heart, baby
You make a mess of me

Les Toulousains - L'Occitance

 
Que vous soyez Toulousain de souche
Ou pièce rapportée
Ici vous êtes
en Occitance
 
Pour moi le week-end commence le jeudi
Et l'apéro j'le prends dès onze heures et demie
J'mets mon cligno seulement quand j'ai envie
J'connais par coeur toutes les règles du rugby
J'écoute Images, Zebda, Big Flo et Oli 
J'prends mon passeport pour aller à Albi
Au Pas de la Case quand d'une cartouche j'ai envie
A La Jonquera quand d'une cartouche j'ai envie
Ce coin de France avec cette putain d'ambiance
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Pour l'Parisien c'est la province, pas la Provence
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Ce coin de France avec cette putain d'ambiance
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Et quand tu crois que c'est fini, ça recommence
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Marché des Carmes galérer pour s'garer
Jardin des Plantes au manège se ruiner
Sans péridurale d'un pilier accoucher
Berges de Garonne écouter du djembé
Sam'di à L'Envol se faire refouler
Parce ce que t'as pas la dernière Audi TT
Aller chez Biquet pour bronzer et m'baigner 
Et au Cap d'Agde pour s'faire bronzer l'beignet
Ce coin de France avec cette putain d'ambiance
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Pour l'Parisien c'est la province, pas la Provence
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Ce coin de France avec cette putain d'ambiance
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
Et quand tu crois que c'est fini ça recommence
C'est l'Occitance
C'est l'Occitance
 
C'est l'Occitance !

Don Henley - The Boys Of Summer (Up!)

 
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home

But I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy?
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But babe, I'm gonna get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
I see you walking real slow and you're smilin' at everyone
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Out on the road today, I saw a DEADHEAD sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back"
I thought I knew what love was
What did I know?
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but-

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

I can see you-
Your brown skin shinin' in the sun
You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby
I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone

Kidburn - Slave To Love (Bryan Ferry cover)

 
Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary and there's no escape
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor

Slave to love
Oho
Slave to love

You're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound

The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same

Slave to love
Oho
Slave to love

Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

The storm is breaking or so it seems
We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter, I can see your smile

Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Slave to love (Nananana)
Oho (Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

(Nananana)
(Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

(Nananana)
(Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

(Nananana)
(Nananana)
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love

Loreen - Walk With Me (Julia Jonas cover)

 
I'll take you places you've never been
I'll be waiting and I won't settle
We see the walls coming down and we breathe in
And for a second there we slow it down
We bring along beauty
And we'll seek the burnin' breeze ahead of us

Will you walk with me? Yeah
You won't imagine we've been there before
I'll tell you where we'll go

We've found the golden window here
The one where colours show
We're running on the edge of things
No one can catch up now
There's nothing else we need to feel

We'll hear the sound of crackin' ice
We'll jump feet first on to the ground
And race it all the way till we're leading

Will you walk with me? Yeah
You won't imagine we've been there before
I'll tell you where we'll go

We've found the golden window here
The one where colours show
We're running on the edge of things
No one can catch up now
There's nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel

We've found the golden window here
The one where colours show
We're running on the edge of things
No one can catch up now

Well, you won't ima...
You won't imagine we've been there before
So, you don't...
You won't imagine we've been there before
There's nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel
Nothing else we need to feel


Lissie - Don't You Give Up On Me

 
You set the sun, I feel your waves
I look at the ocean, so big and brave
Am I only a ghost?
Cause what I fear the most is me
I left you on the coast for something only I can see

What kind of world will there be
When I wake up from this dream?
I hear you call so far away
Just keep me close when I'm afraid

And don't you give up on me
As I dive into the dark
Slip into the endless sea
Don't you give up on me
Are you swimming in the stars?
Breathing in eternity
Don't you give up on me

You are the moon, I feel your weight
You tug at the ocean, you help it change
And you keep on reminding me of a darkness only I can see

What kind of world will there be
When I wake up from this dream?
I hear you call so far away
Just keep me close when I'm afraid

And don't you give up on me
As I dive into the dark
Slip into the endless sea
Don't you give up on me
Are you swimming in the stars?
Breathing in eternity
Don't you give up on me

Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up on me now
Don't you give up

And don't you give up on me
As I dive into the dark
Slip into the endless sea
Don't you give up on me
Are you swimming in the stars?
Breathing in eternity
Don't you give up on me 

 

FM-84 ft. Ollie Wride - Running In The Night (Up!)

 
I used to be the one
I used to be your getaway dreamer
I couldn't get enough
Thinking that we would last forever
Don't know what you're thinking of
Slipping further out of reach
To the edge of town we could go
Away from all the world to see

You were wild trying to set yourself free
I didn't see the signs right in front of me

Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But whatever we do
I'm running in the night with you

I used to be the one
I used to be your place to land
Under the shadows
Into the palm of my hand
You're always changing the situation
Just when we found paradise
You're always shutting down the conversation
I can never read your mind

Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But whatever we do
I'm running in the night with you

Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
Running with the night
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh
I'm running with the night

I used to be the one
I used to be your getaway dreamer
I couldn't get enough
Thinking that we would last forever

Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But whatever we do
I'm running in the night with you

Oh, I'm running in the night so soon
I've got nothing left to lose
I'm leaving it all behind, running in the night with you
I won't let you get away again
We can see it through to the end
But whatever we do
I'm running in the night with you
