song of the moment - for you and i

song of the moment

for you and i

keren ann

somewhere late at night

the merman called the breeze

found an out of sight

and simply watched at ease

the sea was cold as ice

and lonely as it seems

the wind came to my eyes

and woke me from a dream

and it's over now for you and i

for you and i

it's over now for you and i

for you and i

out there in the sand

i waited for the dawn

to bring me thoughts from other lands

and then you came along

and it's over now for you and i

for you and i

it's over now for you and i

for you and i

somewhere late at night

the merman called the breeze

found an out of sight

and simply watched at ease

song of the moment

invasion

eisley

the colorless words are burning our heels

as the bright lights of the city fade

taking the chase to curb our fear

as the bloodless moon casts its face

ooh, something's not right

i can feel it inside

something's not right

you would take the breath from my throat

and you would take the cherished people that i hold

all in time you will be one of us painless, us blameless

go to sleep, this won’t hurt a bit

shifting your shape to our shells

ooh, something's not right

i can feel it inside

something's not right

you would take the breath from my throat

and you would take the cherished people that i hold

and they will try to make us forget ourselves

one by one, one by one

call me crazy but they are after us

one by one, one by one

you don't have to know the truth

if you believe it

i believe it, too

ooh, something's not right

i can feel it inside

something's not right

you would take the breath from my throat

and you would take the cherished people that i hold

song of the moment

28

lorene scafaria

here it comes

guess for years i have tried to calm

what's inside me but something's wrong

i don't know what to say

to give me away

the dream's the same:

i'm alone on a moving train

wake up here and i can't complain,

and there's the first mistake

i tried not to make

next time around that's a habit to break

when i turn 28

things are gonna be great at 28

so don't sit so close

can't you see that i'm already yours?

every day i've been living indoors

tell them i was brave

tell yourself the same

tell everyone that i plan to go straight

when i turn 28

things are gonna be great at 28

ah 28

they said that i would get used to the change

but i can't keep my eyes on the page

shouldn't be writing these songs at my age

the candle's lit

waiting patient for me to sit,

but none of last year's clothes still fit,

and i keep waiting for you to enter the room

i made my wish let me give it to you

when i turn 28

things are gonna be great at 28

at 28, tell everyone that they'll just have to wait

when i turn 29

things are gonna be fine at 29

here it comes

guess for years i have tried to calm

what's inside me but something's wrong

i don't know what to say

to give me away

the dream's the same:

i'm alone on a moving train

wake up here and i can't complain,

and there's the first mistake

i tried not to make

next time around that's a habit to break

when i turn 28

things are gonna be great at 28

so don't sit so close

tell them i was brave

tell yourself the same

tell everyone that i plan to go straight

when i turn 28

and i keep waiting for you to enter the room

i made my wish let me give it to you

rosi golan featuring william fitzsimmons





i watched you sleepin' quietly in my bed
you don't know this now but
there's some things that need to be said
and it's all that i can hear
it's more than i can bear

what if i fall and hurt myself
would you know how to fix me?
what if i went and lost myself
would you know where to find me?
if i forgot who i am
would you please remind me?
oh, cause without you things go hazy

Disappointingly shy in the harmony department for a duet.

I do love me the harmonies, and what was there, like two lines with harmony?

I shake my head.

Oh well, still a ridiculously pretty song, the voices match it all kickasslike.

song of the moment - hands up baby

song of the moment

hands up baby

camera obscura

i've been hanging round

everywhere you go in town

watching you forget me

i want to see you crack

i'm going to get you back

put your hands up baby

you're talking to me like i'm in your debt

you don't remember things i can't forget

now you don't look so well

turn that gun back on yourself

and take a load off baby

i've had enough this time

give me back my boots you swine

it's your fault you hate me

i only hate you 'cause i hate myself

it breaks my heart that i can't wish you well

now i could end this here

die and take you with me dear

it could be so easy...

i don't care what you do

i’ll still be rid of you

just make your mind up baby

i'll turn around and walk away from you

if i turn back i'll be the death of you

The third paragraph reminds me of someone I wouldn't date.

song of the moment - numb

song of the moment

numb

diana vickers

i feel numb

my every nerve has lost its feeling

no air left in my lungs

a gasp of breath is all i'm craving

it's the opposite of love

all things decay and rust

it's the ugly side of us

oh mother hold me

n.u.m.b.

i feel empty

of feeling, of feeling

even god is grieving

n.u.m.b.

elevate me

i'm drowning, i'm drowning

please god, i'm numb to life

i feel numb

all my dreams have lost their meaning

total eclipse of the sun

the guilty part is yours for keeping

it's the opposite of light

i'm the owl, of the night

set me free so i can fly

let me go don't hold me

n.u.m.b.

i feel empty

of feeling, of feeling

even god is grieving

n.u.m.b.

elevate me

i'm drowning, i'm drowning

please god, i'm numb to life

n.u.m.b.

i feel empty

of feeling, of feeling

even god is grieving

n.u.m.b.

elevate me

i'm drowning, i'm drowning

please god, i'm numb to life

please god, i'm numb to life

please god, i'm drowning

please god, i'm numb to life

song of the moment

when you thought you'd never stand out

copeland

in other lives

in a bulletproof suit with some friends of mine

i wrote the plotline

only i knew who survived

who survived

and through the night

in a really fast car on an uphill climb

blew past a danger sign

and fell through darkness sublime

but awoke just in time

they’re gonna come to light tonight

they’re gonna come to light tonight

they’re gonna come to light tonight

but not for the last time

in younger days

i do my schoolwork while the neighbors play

but stare into space

with no feeling to convey

with no look on my face

in younger days

i’m stealing bases while my mother prays

and dreading to wake

longing for one more play

one more play

they’re gonna come to light tonight

they’re gonna come to light tonight

they’re gonna come to light tonight

but not for the last time

i don’t know what everyone was looking at

i don’t care what everyone was laughing at

i don’t know what everyone was staring at

i think, i think that it’s me

i don’t know what everyone was looking at

i don’t care what everyone was laughing at

i don’t know what everyone was staring at

i think, i think that it’s me

didn’t i tell you that i could hear you running out?

didn’t i find you when i knew you were hiding out?

in mixedy mashedy overlappediness:

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?

didn’t i find you? didn’t i find you?

i don’t know what everyone was looking at

i don’t care what everyone was laughing at

i don’t know what everyone was staring at

i think, i think that it’s me

they’re gonna come to light tonight

they’re gonna come to light tonight

they’re gonna come to light tonight

didn’t i tell you that i could hear you running out?

didn’t i find you when i knew you were hiding out?

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?

didn’t i find you?

in understandable and articulate overlappedy endiness:

didn’t i see you when you thought you’d never stand out?

didn’t i find you?

they’re gonna come to light tonight

i think, i think that it’s me

song of the moment - not going anywhere

song of the moment

not going anywhere

keren ann

this is why i always wonder
i'm a pond full of regrets
i always try to not remember rather than forget

this is why i always whisper
when vagabonds are passing by
i tend to keep myself away from their goodbyes

tide will rise and fall along the bay
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
people come and go and walk away
but i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere

this is why i always whisper
i'm a river with a spell
i like to hear but not to listen,
i like to say but not to tell

this is why i always wonder
there's nothing new under the sun
i won't go anywhere so give my love to everyone

tide will rise and fall along the bay
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
people come and go and walk away
but i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere

tide will rise and fall along the bay
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere
they come and go and walk away
and i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere

they come and go and walk away
but i'm not going anywhere
i'm not going anywhere

as sweet as a song, as right as a wrong

as long as a road, as ugly as a toad

bright as day, as light as play

as hard as nails, as grand as a whale

Not like this is new, in any way, but I do enjoy stating the obvious.

song of the moment - remains

song of the moment
remains
maurissa tancharoen and jed whedon



(try listening to the song once without watching the video)

burn down my home
my memories hardened and are bright as chrome
good times escape
while every mistake seems to be caught on tape

i will go rolling fast
arms out in the rain
feel momentum building ’til
i lift off ground like an airplane
love ties you down to the pains
a billion eyes are watching, fossilized
they see what remains
remains

gave up this town
what waste are we left with when it’s boiled down
shine light on me
your image reflected is all you’ll ever see

i will go rolling fast
arms out in the rain
feel momentum building ’til
i lift off ground like an airplane
love ties you down to the pains
a billion eyes are watching, fossilized
they see what remains
remains

Oh, Topher, why ya gotta be such a boy to Kilo?
(ftr - the chick in the vid is Maurissa Tancharoen, but the dude isn't Jed Whedon, it's Fran Kranz - and despite his knobbishness in this particular video, I do enjoy him)




and just for good measure
another by the same two crazy kids
(i also heard this one on dollhouse)
(oh yeah, i forgot to mention - i first heard that one up top there on dollhouse)

sun rises slow

water rides the air

gathering in the clouds

forming raindrops

or heavy snow

sun melts the snow

gravity kicks in

tributaries drop

empty into

the sea we go

we're drones

happy as we are

thinking our sustain

lies in love

the flow

tearing us apart

follow the unchanged

ancient sun

young emperor's boy

subjects bow their heads

tributaries drop

for the man who

will rule them all

we're drones

happy as we are

thinking our sustain

lies in love

the flow

tearing us apart

follow the unchanged

ancient sun

matt hires






my heart has flown to fields of flowers and open roads
while i'm left lying in my bed
the darkness holds little rest for weary bones
now turn the page, the chapter's ending

the earth is on her knees
as oceans cover me
sail your ship across my sea
and i'll see you in my sleep

so far from home the lights still shining from your soul
it's burning holes into my head
the flowers grow, the night is moving way too slow
but i don't wanna see her smile fading

the earth is on her knees
as oceans cover me
sail your ship across my sea
and i'll see you in my sleep

but i'm not alone, i'm with the lover of my soul
and where else could i go?

where else could i go?
where else could i go?
oh, where else could i go?
where else could i go?
oh, oh, where else could i go?
where else could i go?

the earth is on her knees
as oceans cover me
sail your ship across my sea
and i'll see you in my sleep

oh, oh, the earth is on her knees
as oceans cover me
and won't you sail your ship across my sea?
and i'll see you in my sleep

i'll see you in my sleep
oh, i'll see you in my sleep

song of the moment - fade into you

song of the moment

fade into you

mazzy star

i want to hold the hand inside you

i want to take a breath that's true

i look to you and i see nothing

i look to you to see the truth

you live your life

you go in shadows

you'll come apart and you'll go black

some kind of night into your darkness

colors your eyes with what's not there

fade into you

strange you never knew

fade into you

i think it's strange you never knew

a stranger's light comes on slowly

a stranger's heart without a home

you put your hands into your head

and then it's smiles cover your heart

fade into you

strange you never knew

fade into you

i think it's strange you never knew

i think it's strange you never knew

you in the dark

living your ghost

living your end

never seem to get in the place that i belong

lose the time to come

whatever you say it's alright

whatever you do it's all good

whatever you say it's alright

silence is not the way

we need to talk about it

if heaven is on the way

if heaven is on the way

you in the sea

on a decline

breaking the waves

watching the lights go down

letting the cables sleep

whatever you say it's alright

whatever you do it's all good

whatever you say it's alright

silence is not the way

we need to talk about it

if heaven is on the way

we'll wrap the world around it

if heaven is on the way

if heaven is on the way

i'm a stranger in this town

i'm a stranger in this town

silence is not the way

we need to talk about it

if heaven is on the way

we'll wrap the world around it

if heaven is on the way

if heaven is on the way

and send it out tonight

something always brings me back to you

it never takes too long

no matter what i say or do i'll still feel you here 'til the moment i'm gone.

you hold me without touch

you keep me without chains

i never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your rain

set me free, leave me be. i don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

here i am and i stand so tall, just the way i'm supposed to be

but you're on to me and all over me

you loved me 'cause i'm fragile

when i thought that i was strong

but you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone

set me free, leave me be. i don't want to fall another moment into your gravity

here i am and i stand so tall, just the way i'm supposed to be

but you're on to me and all over me

i live here on my knees as i try to make you see that you're everything i think i need here on the ground

but you're neither friend nor foe though i can't seem to let you go

the one thing that i still know is that you're keeping me down

you’re keeping me down

you're on to me, on to me, and all over...

something always brings me back to you

it never takes too long

song of the moment - fuckin perfect

song of the moment

fuckin perfect

p!nk

made a wrong turn, once or twice

dug my way out, blood and fire

bad decisions, that's alright

welcome to my silly life

mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood

miss 'no way, it's all good', it didn't slow me down

mistaken, always second guessing, underestimated

look, i'm still around

pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel

like you're less than fuckin' perfect

pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing,

you're fuckin' perfect to me

you're so mean when you talk about yourself; you were wrong

change the voices in your head; make them like you instead

so complicated, look happy, you'll make it

filled with so much hatred, such a tired game

it's enough; i've done all i can think of

chased down all my demons, i've seen you do the same

pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel

like you're less than fuckin' perfect

pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel like you're nothing,

you're fuckin' perfect to me

the whole world's scared so i swallow the fear

the only thing i should be drinking is an ice cold beer

so cool in line, and we try try try, but we try too hard and it's a waste of my time

done looking for the critics, cause they're everywhere

they don’t like my jeans; they don't get my hair

exchange ourselves, and we do it all the time

why do we do that? why do i do that?

(why do i do that?)

pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel

like you're less than fuckin' perfect

pretty,pretty please, if you ever, ever feel

like you're nothing, you're fuckin' perfect to me, yeahhh

you're perfect, you're perfect

pretty, pretty please, don't you ever, ever feel

like you're less than fuckin' perfect

pretty, pretty please, if you ever, ever feel, like you're nothing

you're fuckin' perfect to me

waiting for you whole life

you can spend your whole life

waiting for you’re whole life

thinking that it's over, over

that it's over, over

song of the moment - glitter in the air

song of the moment

glitter in the air

p!nk

have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?

closed your eyes and trusted, just trusted?

have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?

have you ever looked fear in the face and said, "i just don't care"?

it's only half past the point of no return

the tip of the iceberg

the sun before the burn

the thunder before the lightning

the breath before the phrase

have you ever felt this way?

have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?

you're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone

have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?

have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

it's only half past the point of oblivion

the hourglass on the table

the walk before the run

the breath before the kiss

and the fear before the flames

have you ever felt this way?

la la la la la la la la

there you are, sitting in the garden

clutching my coffee,

calling me sugar

you called me sugar

have you ever wished for an endless night?

lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?

have you ever held your breath and asked yourself will it ever get better than tonight?

tonight

and just for good measure

icons of self-indulgence

more lies about a world that

never was and never will be

have you no shame? don't you see me?

you know you've got everybody fooled

look here she comes now

bow down and stare in wonder

oh how we love you

no flaws when you're pretending

but now i know she

never was and never will be

you don't know how you've betrayed me

and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide?

can't find yourself lost in your lie

i know the truth now

i know who you are

and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be

you don't know how you've betrayed me

and somehow you've got everybody fooled

it never was and never will be

you're not real and you can't save me

somehow now you're everybody's fool

i was pretending

your secret kiss of confidence

was my escape

the perfect game to play...

don't cry out

cease fire

ten nine eight and i'm breaking away

i'm all dressed up and i'm ready to play

seven six five four and i'm all over you

counting three two one and i'm having fun...

your fascination

with naked walls of silk and skin

with no conditions

i needed you to notice....

that's all i wanted

don't cry out

cease fire

ten nine eight and i'm breaking away

i'm all dressed up and i'm ready to play

seven six five four and i'm all over you

counting three two one and i'm having fun...

do you really enjoy living a life that's so hateful?

cause there's a hole where your soul should be

your losing control of it and it's really distasteful

song of the moment - think of you

song of the moment

think of you

a fine frenzy

it's one hundred and nine degrees in this crowded room

no room to breathe with walls as cold as a gallery

this is no place for me

such hard faces in smoke

the smell lingers in my clothes

it's a bad night to be alone

but that's the way it goes

and i think of you whenever life gets me down

i think of you whenever you're not around

and you rest your bones

somewhere far from my own

yeah, but you still pull me home

i thought i had it figured out in a brand new life

with a great big house

and green initials on the towels

i should be happy now

well, you got yourself a family

and you planted roots down by the sea

i saw you once on the street

you didn't notice me

but i think of you whenever life gets me down

i think of you whenever you're not around

you rest your bones

somewhere far from my own

yeah, but you still pull me home

just to put your mind at ease

you don't owe me anything

you paid me well in memories

and i think of you whenever life gets me down

i think of you whenever you're not around

and you rest your bones

somewhere far from my own

yeah, but you still pull me home

you still pull me home

you still pull me home

of how you're going to play it

how long should i stay

promises, promises never cease to assist it

now i'm back on my back

please bite your words

hurry, hurry to believe

i can always trust as much as you deceive

what can't be decided

in the morning it will bring itself to you

i can't see what's coming

but i'm not saying it

what's your middle name?

how do you play the game?

i'll be the first to leave

when did i grow up?

i don't want to say too much

i'll be the first to leave

azure ray

(townes van zandt cover)

why does she sing these sad songs for me, i'm not the one

to tenderly bring her soft sympathy i've just begun

to see my way clear it's plain, if i stop i will fall

i can lay down a tear for her pain, a tear and that's all.

what does she want me to do?

she says that she that knows moments are rare

i suppose that it's true

and on she goes to say i don't care when she knows that i do.

well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

and who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.

she'd like to think i was cruel,

she knows that's a lie for i would be

no more than a tool

if i allowed her to cry all over me.

oh my sorrow is real even though i can't change my plans

if she could see how i feel then i know she'd understand

does she actually think i'm to blame?

does she really believe that some word of mine could relieve all her pain?

can't she see that she grieves just because she's been blindly deceived

by her shame?

well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

and who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.

i know nothings what it seems, maybe one day she'll start to realize

that if she abandons her dreams then all the words she can say are only lies

when will she see that the game is only to lose?

all that she offers me are her chains, and i got to refuse.

but it's only to herself that she's lied

she likes to pretend it's something that she should defend, with her pride

and i don't intend to stand here and be the friend from whom she must hide.

well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

and who do i think that i am to decide that she's wrong.

well, maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song

i don't know what you're looking for

you haven't found it baby, that's for sure

you rip me up and spread me all around

in the dust of the deed of time

and this is not a case of lust, you see

it's not a matter of you versus of me

it's fine the way you want me on your own

but in the end it's always me alone

and i'm losing my favourite game

you're losing your mind again

i'm losing my baby

losing my favourite game

i only know what i've been working for

another you so i could love you more

i really thought that i could take you there

but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

i had a vision i could turn you right

a stupid mission and a lethal fight

i should have seen it when my hope was new

my heart is black and my body is blue

and i'm losing my favourite game

you're losing your mind again

i'm losing my favourite game

you're losing your mind again

i was happier then with no mind-set.

and if you'da took to me like

a gull takes to the wind.

well, i'da jumped from my tree

and i'da danced like the king of the eyesores

and the rest of our lives woulda fared well.

new slang when you notice the stripes, the dirt in your fries.

hope it's right when you die, old and bony.

dawn breaks like a bull through the hall,

never shoulda called

but my head's to the wall and i'm lonely.

and if you'da took to me like

a gull takes to the wind.

well, i'da jumped from my tree

and i'da danced like the king of the eyesores

god speed all the bakers at dawn may they all cut their thumbs,

and bleed into their buns 'til they melt away.

i'm looking in on the good life i might be doomed never to find.

without a trust or flaming fields am i too dumb to refine?

well i'da danced like the queen of the eyesores

margot & the nuclear so and sos

i did a sick, sick thing to my love.
my lack of loyalty, it swallowed her up.
and she cooks me food.
she squirmed and turned like a skeleton key.

she left her man unattended to me.
don't call me that.
don't claim you love me
cause you know that ain't true.

and you're finally free
to twist and turn like a skeleton key.

you've gotta let me know.
you've gotta let me know.

i did a horrible thing to that girl.
i bred my misery and drowned it in her.
and she got me high,
and i hardly noticed there were tears in her eyes.

and i miss you less and less everyday.
this stream of whisky helps to wash you away.

and it's clear to see,
you're nothing special.
you're a skeleton key.

you've gotta let me know.

forget what he did, can i be the kid for your soul to keep.

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

i've grown to see the philosophy of my own mistrust,

we all have our faults, mine come in waves that you turn to rust,

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

i've been hanging onto something,

you keep laughing awe-inspiring.

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

some of us laugh, some of us cry,

some of us smoke, some of us lie,

but it's all just the way that we cope with our lives.

my wandering soul found solace at last,

i wanted to know how long it would last.

she's losing control, she's coming down fast,

the heart that i stole, i'm not giving back, never giving back.

song of the moment - someday you will be loved

song of the moment

someday you will be loved

death cab for cutie

i once knew a girl

in the years of my youth

with eyes like the summer

all beauty and truth

in the morning i fled

left a note and it read

someday you will be loved.

i cannot pretend that i felt any regret

cause each broken heart will eventually mend

as the blood runs red down the needle and thread

someday you will be loved

you'll be loved you'll be loved

like you never have known

the memories of me

will seem more like bad dreams

just a series of blurs

like i never occurred

someday you will be loved

you may feel alone when you're falling asleep

and every time tears roll down your cheeks

but i know your heart belongs to someone you've yet to meet

someday you will be loved

you'll be loved you'll be loved

like you never have known

the memories of me

will seem more like bad dreams

just a series of blurs

like i never occurred

someday you will be loved

you'll be loved you'll be loved

like you never have known

the memories of me

will seem more like bad dreams

just a series of blurs

like i never occurred

someday you will be loved

someday you will be loved
