song of the moment - breathe me

song of the moment
breathe me

sia












help, i have done it again

i have been here many times before

hurt myself again today

and, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame



be my friend

hold me, wrap me up

unfold me

i am small

i'm needy

warm me up

and breathe me



ouch i have lost myself again

lost myself and i am nowhere to be found,

yeah i think that i might break

i've lost myself again and i feel unsafe



be my friend

hold me, wrap me up

unfold me

i am small

i'm needy

warm me up

and breathe me






and just for good measure (cuz i love the video on this one)

song of the moment - under the surface

song of the moment
under the surface
marit larsen




it's such a funny sensation to be
so happy that you wanna die
promises always were crazy to me
but never was i so surprised
minutes are longer when we are apart
your presence's more than i can handle
it's come to the point where
i wonder if i could ever be
luckier

when suddenly i'm back at the core
thinking of her who had you before
were you as good
as good as we are
do you remember?

did you love her the way you love me?
is there a chance that there might be
traces of her that you carry
under the surface?

lend me your ears, i would like to confess
i'm doubting that you can be real
by your side wearing a beautiful dress
i celebrate how good it feels

say that you love me, say that it's true
i know that i want to believe you
but somehow silence speaks louder than words
i'm worried she's still on your mind

suddenly i'm back at the core
thinking of her who had you before
were you as good
as good as we are
do you remember?
did you love her the way you love me?
is there a chance that there might be
traces of her that you carry
under the surface?

mmm i know that i'm selfish
i know that it's bad
i know, but it's driving me mad
it's driving me mad

suddenly i'm back at the core
thinking of her who had you before
were you as good
as good as we are
do you remember?

did you love her the way you love me?
is there a chance that there might be
traces of her that you carry
under the surface?

under the surface
under the surface

I'd forgotten how adorable I found this girl (based solely on her voice, because before I saw the video with her and Milow, I had no idea what she looked like), and decided she needed her own post. I would have given Milow his own, but since he's not nearly as buttonish (and that particular song rocks the harmony) he had to share his spotlight. He'll live.

song of the moment - out of my hands

song of the moment
out of my hands

milow (and marit larsen)











i made the call just too late
at the end of may
i just thought i could wait
for one more day
in the time that passed
you went down so fast
you went down so fast

out of my reach, out of my hands
i didn't understand
i would have changed all my plans

an empty house, a setting sun
at 4 a.m.
some battles fought are battles won
but this ain't one of them
one more shadow cast
you went down so fast
you went down so fast

out of my reach, out of my hands
i didn't understand
i would have changed all my plans
i would have changed
out of my reach, out of my hands

now the leaves are turning brown
i watch 'em blow
where the earth pulls them down
i let you go
as your breath unwinds
through the restless pines

out of my reach, out of my hands
i didn't understand
i would have changed all my plans
i would have changed
out of my reach, out of my hands
i didn't understand
i would have changed all my plans
i would have changed








the first version I heard was just milow:





I think I actually like this one better, but I'm a sucker for harmony.
