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

song of the moment - turn the page

song of the moment
turn the page
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

I heard this song on Cougar Town. It took me forever to find an embeddable recording that wasn't live (I was being picky, I wanted what I heard).

I like sour candy.

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

song of the moment - letting cables sleep

song of the moment
letting cables sleep
bush




you in the dark
you in the pain
you on the run
living a hell
living your ghost
living your end
never seem to get in the place that i belong
don't wanna lose the time
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

i'm a stranger in this town
i'm a stranger in this town

song of the moment - winter song

song of the moment
winter song
ingrid michaelson and sara bareilles




this is my winter song to you
the storm is coming soon,
it rolls in from the sea

my voice; a beacon in the night
my words will be your light,
to carry you to me

is love alive?
is love alive?
is love

they say that things just cannot grow
beneath the winter snow,
or so i have been told

they say were buried far,
just like a distant star
i simply cannot hold

is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?

this is my winter song
december never felt so wrong,
cause you’re not where you belong;
inside my arms

bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum
bum bum bum bum bum bum

i still believe in summer days
the seasons always change
and life will find a way

i’ll be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again

is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?

this is my winter song
december never felt so wrong,
cause you’re not where you belong;
inside my arms

this is my winter song to you
the storm is coming soon
it rolls in from the sea

my love a beacon in the night
my words will be your light
to carry you to me

is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?
is love alive?


----
Who cares if it's not winter, the song's in my head now.
