Alter Bridge - In Loving Memory

 
Thanks for all you've done
I've missed you for so long
I can't believe you're gone
You still live in me
I feel you in the wind
You guide me constantly

I never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I carry the things that remind me of you
In loving memory of
The one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you're gone
You still mean the world to me

I never knew what it was to be alone, no
'Cause you were always there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I come home and it's not the same, no
It feels empty and alone
I can't believe you're gone

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

I'm glad He sets you free from sorrow
I'll still love you more tomorrow
And you'll be here with me still

All you did you did with feeling
And you always found a meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will

And I know, you're a part of me
And it's your song that sets me free
I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me

Peter Gabriel - Love Can Heal (Up!)

 
Whatever mess you find yourself within
Regardless how you got there
When the edifice has slipped away and died
And left you standing there defenseless

Love can heal
Love can heal
Love can heal
Love can heal

There's something moving out of you, your body and your skin
Like mist comes from the water
You can sense it, when the cold has clenched its claws
And, alone, you face what's coming

For a moment, I raise my head
I can breathe the air
Out in the sunlight, in all the colours
Set against a bed of green
A bed of green

Love can heal
Love can heal
Love can heal
Love can heal
Love can heal
(Give into love) Love can heal
Give into love
Give into love 



Teddy Swims - What's Going On (Marvin Gaye cover, Bebi Dol cover)

 
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know that we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today. oh

Father, father, father
We don't need to escalate
War is not the answer, yeah
For only love can conquer hate
You know that we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

Picket signs and picket lines
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
Yeah, what's going on

Mother, mother
Everybody thinks we're wrong
But who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Picket signs and picket lines
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on
Tell me what's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)
What's going on (What's going on)

What's going on

Nicolette Larson - I'd Die For This Dance (Again & Again)

 
Must have been livin' right the day I met you
Had to be a starry night, my dreams came true
I don't deserve him, I don't understand
I'm gonna love you the best that I can

Yes I'd die for this dance
To hold you, to talk of romance
I've never been lucky, but I've got to take the chance
I'm caught up in some kind of trance
And yes I would die for this dance

Where did you come from, I know where it seems
Maybe an angel smiling on me
I know it's crazy, you've taken my heart
I'll never leave you, you're my missing part

Yes I'd die for this dance
To hold you, to talk of romance
I've never been lucky, I've got to take the chance
I'm caught up in some kind of trance
And yes I would die for this dance

I feel like I'm losing control
It's got to my heart and my soul
I'm seeing my future unfold
I can't let go of you, I need you

Oh I'd die for this dance
To hold you and talk of romance
I've never been lucky, I've got to take the chance
And yes I would die for this
Die for this dance
To hold you and talk of romance
I've never been lucky, I've got to take the chance
Yes I would die for this dance
Yes I would die for this dance 


Warren Zeiders - You For A Reason

 
Them winters will wear on a cowboy
And there's only so much you can do
I was lonesome as leaves when the trees laid them down
Until I looked up and laid eyes on you

I needed a woman to hold me
An angel to know me
Girl even if it was just for a season
It was you for a reason

Nobody else would of heard it
The song that I held in my heart
I didn't know the one thing I was needing
But you knew it right from the start

I needed a woman to hold me
An angel to know me
Girl even if it was just for a season
It was you for a reason
Oh it was you for a reason

I needed a woman to hold me
An angel to know me
Girl even if it was just for a season
It was you for a reason
It was you for a reason 

 

HAEVN - Gave It All

 
Your poison ivy
That's growing up my spine
It's warm but I dream, of light
It's getting old now
Underneath the safety of your scars
I swear I've seen
Better times

I was howling at the dark
But the moon didn't care
I was lost in love and lust
Somewhere

I gave it all
I gave it all I've got
I gave it all
Gave it all I've got
But is was not enough

You're all I see
I'm fighting off the demons in your eyes
But underneath
I'm paralyzed

I've been howling at the dark
But the moon didn't care
I was lost in love and lust
Somewhere

I gave it all
I gave it all I've got
I gave it all
Gave it all I've got

I gave it all
I gave it all I've got
I gave it all
Gave it all I've got
But is was not enough

I give up, it's over, I woke up
I've given all I've got
I give up, it's over, I woke up
I've given all I've got
I give up, it's over, I woke up
I've given all I've got
I give up, it's over, I woke up
I've given all I've got
I give up, it's over, I woke up
I've given all I've got
I gave it all, gave it all I've got
Gave it all I've got

Your poison ivy
Your vines and I no longer intertwine
Now all I see is light

Queen - Under Pressure

 
Mmm num ba de
Dum bum ba be
Doo buh dum ba beh beh

Pressure: pushing down on me
Pressing down on you, no man ask for
Under pressure that burns a building down
Splits a family in two
Puts people on streets

Um ba ba be
Um ba ba be
De day da
Ee day da

That's OK

That's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher
Pressure on people, people on streets

Day day de mm hm
Da da da ba ba
OK

Chippin' around, kick my brains 'round the floor
These are the days: it never rains but it pours

Ee do ba be
Ee da ba ba ba
Um bo bo
Be lap

People on streets
Ee da de da de
People on streets
Ee da de da de da de da

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends screaming
"Let me out!"

Tomorrow gets me higher, higher, high!
Pressure on people, people on streets

Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence, but it don't work
Keep coming up with love, but it's so slashed and torn

Why, why, why!?

Love, love, love, love, love

Insanity laughs under pressure
We're breaking

Can't we give ourselves one more chance?
Why can't we give love that one more chance?
Why can't we give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love, give love?

'Cause love's such an old-fashioned word
And love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves

Under pressure
Under pressure
Pressure

Andreas Bourani - Wunder

 
Atme ein
Die Nacht ist klar
Und sie ist dein
Halt ihn Fest den Augenblick
Du kannst sein König sein

Nimm das Glück
Auf deinem Weg sieh nie zurück
Mach deine Augen auf
Und atme aus

Und du fühlst, dass du lebst
Weil du tanzt und fliegst, du schwebst
Weil du lachst, weil du weinst und liebst

Du bist ein Wunder
Du bist mein Wunder

Quäl dich nicht
Und lach dem Leben ins Gesicht
Nimm jeden deiner Fehler
Stell dich unters Licht

Dein Gewinn
Ist nicht die Suche nach dem Sinn
Lebst du hier und jetzt
Ist für dich alles drin
Und du fühlst, dass du lebst
Weil du tanzt und fliegst, du schwebst
Weil du lachst, weil du weinst und liebst

Du bist ein Wunder
Du bist mein Wunder

Du hast die Welt in deiner Hand
Trag sie mit Liebe und Verstand

Atme ein
Die Nacht ist klar
Und sie ist dein
Und wenn du willst
Kannst du ein König sein

Wenn du fühlst, dass du lebst
Weil du tanzt und fliegst, du schwebst
Weil du lachst, weil du weinst und liebst

Du bist ein Wunder
Du bist mein Wunder
Du bist ein Wunder
Du bist mein Wunder 

 

Walking On Cars - Walls

 
I'll be your corner stone, no matter where you go
I'll leave my bones to be the shelter for you
And when you're far from home
Just know you're not alone
The love we share will build a fortress 'round you

Fade into grey, yeah nothing to give
I needed a reason, a reason to live
I know that we have more than the sky
So I hold on forever to the stars in your eyes

I'll be your corner stone, no matter where you go
I'll leave my bones to be the shelter for you
And when you're far from home
Just know you're not alone
The love we share will build a fortress 'round you

So let these walls rise up, rise up, rise up
Rise up, rise up, rise up
So let these walls rise up, rise up, rise up
I'll lean my bones to be the shelter 'round you

All that we have is thicker than blood
And all of the tears that rained down on us
And then what was said over coffee that night
From the hug at the window
To the day I died

I'll be your corner stone, no matter where you go
I'll leave my bones to be the shelter for you
And when you're far from home
Just know you're not alone
The love we share will build a fortress 'round you

Rise up, rise up, rise up

The love we share will build a fortress 'round you

So let these walls rise up, rise up, rise up
Oh let these walls rise up, rise up, rise up
So let these walls rise up, rise up, rise up
I'll leave my bones to be the shelter for you

I'll leave my bones to be the shelter for you
And when you're far from home
Just know you're not alone
The love we share will build a fortress 'round you

So let these walls rise up, rise up, rise up 

 

The Steel Woods ft. Lindi Ortega - The Secret

 
In the beginning
I was alone but I was free
To roam the earth
All the land and the seas
Now I sit here cursed
Underneath this tree
Starring at a half-eaten apple

It was the secret
She whispered in my ear
The darkness in her heart
She didn't want the world to hear
And when it all fell apart
It was her lips I should've feared
Not the viper in the garden

She said, Satan is a woman
It's not the snake, it was me
That sent that man to hell
Crawling on his knees
And time tells all
So, brother, do believe
That the Devil ain't no dragon
No the Devil ain't no dragon 

 

Bruce Springsteen - I'm On Fire (Up!)

 
Hey, little girl, is your daddy home?
Did he go away and leave you all alone?
I got a bad desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
And can he do to you the things that I do?
Oh no, I can take you higher

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull
And cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull
At night, I wake up with the sheets soakin' wet
And a freight train runnin' through the middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire

Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire
Oh, oh, oh
I'm on fire

Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 

 


Lily Meola - Daydream

 
When we were kids in the backyard
Playing astronauts and rockstars
No one told us to stop it
Called us unrealistic
Then suddenly, you're eighteen
Go to college for your plan "B"
What you want is too risky
Live for weekends and whiskey

We all got these big ideas
One day, they're replaced with fears
How did we get here?

Darling, don't quit your daydream
It's your life that you're making
It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
If it makes you nervous
It's probably worth it
Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?

Thirty-one, waiting tables
She has the voice of an angel
Out of money and power
She only sings in the shower
All these things we say we'll get to
Shot down by the reasons not to

Darling, don't quit your daydream
It's your life that you're making
It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
If it makes you nervous
It's probably worth it
Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?

So scared of failure that we fail to try
Turning around before the finish line
Gotta fall for a minute before you can fly

So daydream
It's your life that you're making
It ain't big enough if it doesn't scare the hell out of you
If it makes you nervous (Ah-ah-ah)
It's probably worth it (Ah-ah)
Why save it for sleep when you could be living your daydream?

Why save it for sleep when you should be living your daydream? 

 

FUBAR - Puppets

 
The only thing I can't lift is my own ego, 'cause it's so big!


The Pretenders - Back On The Chain Gang (Up!)

 
I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of? oh oh oh oh
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh
The phone, the tv and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang

The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
But I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day
For making us part

I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we're back on the train
Oh, back on the chain gang 



La Nautique (Aude)


 

Dead By April — Anything At All (Again & Again)

 
Protected by these walls I've built
But what's inside I've already killed
Nobody knows what I've been through
Nobody knows that it was you
You destroyed everything

Echoing in my head
Is the ripple effect
Of all the words you said
The words that scarred my heart
They really hit me hard
But that's just who you are

Did I mean anything at all to you
Did I mean anything at all to you
Do you think about us every now and then
Because I do
Did I mean anything at all to you

There were too many lies for me to memorize
And I never make the same mistake twice
I bet the truth weighs heavily on you
It must be

Echoing in my head
Is the butterfly effect
Of your biggest mistake
I'm a violent earthquake
Splitting a tectonic plate
In two and I'm not afraid of you

Did I mean anything at all to you
Did I mean anything at all to you
Do you think about us every now and then
Because I do
Did I mean anything at all to you

I'm not
Afraid
Of you

Did I mean anything at all to you
Did I mean anything at all to you
Do you think about us every now and then
Because I do
Did I mean anything at all to you 


Alesso ft. Nico & Vinz - I Wanna Know

 
I've been hit by stars, a beauty you are, a beauty you are
Day turns into night, you light up my dark, you light up my dark

You're the one that I see waking up next to me
And I hope it's the same for you
But you play with my mind when you send me these signs
And I see other guys get 'em too

I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Where do we go, where do we go
From hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Why are you keeping me on hold
Don't wanna leave this place alone
Is it a yes or is it no
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey

Diamonds in your eyes cover your lies, cover your lies
Trust me we can be special tonight, special tonight

You're the one that I see waking up next to me
And I hope it's the same for you
But you play with my mind when you send me these signs
And I see other guys get 'em too

I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Where do we go, where do we go
From hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
Why are you keeping me on hold
Don't wanna leave this place alone
Is it a yes or is it no
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey

Trust me, we can be special tonight, special tonight

I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
(I want you)
Where do we go, where do we go
From hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
(I want you)
Why are you keeping me on hold
Don't wanna leave this place alone
Is it a yes or is it no
I wanna know, I wanna know
Hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey

Bastille ft. The Chamber Orchestra Of London - Million Pieces

 
(A million pieces)

I breathe in hard
Don't speak, 'cause it's like a bitter pill
You blow my mind, it makes my heart beat
(Harder, harder, harder, hard)
The king's a clown
No one is loving, it's not a drill
Don't look outside, the world is ending
(Faster, faster, faster, faster, fast)

The echoes of that news ring loud (The echoes, the echoes)
No sound can ever drown it out (The echoes)

It breaks my heart
Breaks my heart into a million pieces, oh
It breaks my heart into a million pieces
If it's gonna break me, won't you let me go?
Leave it 'til the morning, I don't wanna know
Breaks my heart
Breaks my heart into a million pieces

(A million pieces)

We're too far gone
Nothing I say will mean anything
Just drink, fuck, dance right through disaster
I don't wanna talk about it now

The echoes of that news ring loud (The echoes, the echoes)
No music ever drowns it out (The echoes)

It breaks my heart
Breaks my heart into a million pieces, oh
It breaks my heart into a million pieces
If it's gonna break me, won't you let me go?
Leave it 'til the morning, I don't wanna know
Breaks my heart
Breaks my heart into a million pieces

(A million pieces)

Get fear and loathing out of your mind
And don't pull me, don't pull me down from the ceiling...

It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart into a million pieces, oh
It breaks my heart into a million pieces
If it's gonna break me, won't you let me go?
Leave it 'til the morning, I don't wanna know
Breaks my heart
Breaks my heart into a million pieces

Oh-oh, oh
A million pieces
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
A million pieces
Oh-oh, oh
A million pieces
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
A million pieces 

 

Owl City - Fireflies

 
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million fireflies
Lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause they'd fill the open air
And leave teardrops everywhere
You'd think me rude
But I would just stand and stare

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems

'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance
A foxtrot above my head
A sock hop beneath my bed
A disco ball is just hanging by a thread
(Thread, thread...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems
(When I fall asleep)

Leave my door open just a crack
(Please take me away from here)
'Cause I feel like such an insomniac
(Please take me away from here)
Why do I tire of counting sheep?
(Please take me away from here)
When I'm far too tired to fall asleep
(Ha-ha)

To ten million fireflies
I'm weird 'cause I hate goodbyes
I got misty eyes as they said farewell
(Said farewell)
But I'll know where several are
If my dreams get real bizarre
'Cause I saved a few and I keep them in a jar
(Jar, jar, jar...)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
'Cause everything is never as it seems (when I fall asleep)

I'd like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep
Because my dreams are bursting at the seams 

 

The Veer Union - Nightmare (Halsey cover)

 
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize

I've tasted blood and it is sweet
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
I've trusted lies and trusted men
Broke down and put myself back together again

Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
Collected the pieces and picked out the dagger
I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors

Come on could you maybe give me a smile
No, I ain't got nothing to smile about
I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for
A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize

No sweet dream but I'm a hell of a night
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night

No, I won't smile, but I'll show you my teeth
And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
I've been polite, but won't be caught dead
Letting a man tell me what I should do in my bed
Keep my exes in check in my basement
'Cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent
I could play nice, or I could be a bully
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

Come on could you maybe give me a smile
No, I ain't got nothing to smile about
I got no one to smile for, I've waited a while for
A moment to say "I don't owe you a Goddamn thing"

I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize

I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize

Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
And I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize

Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
And I'd rather be a real nightmare than die unaware 
 

Ouvrir les yeux

 

On ferme les yeux des morts avec douceur ; c'est aussi avec douceur qu'il faut ouvrir les yeux des vivants.

Jean Cocteau, Le Coq et l'Arlequin
