song of the moment
we no who u r
nick cave & the bad seeds

the tree don't care what the little bird sings

we go down with the dew in the morning light

the tree don't know what the little bird brings

we go down with the dew in the morning

and we breathe it in

there is no need to forgive

breathe it in

there is no need to forgive

(again)

the trees will stand like pleading hands

we go down with the dew in the morning light

the trees all stand like pleading hands

we go down with the dew in the morning

and we breathe it in

there is no need to forgive

breathe it in

there is no need to forgive

(again)

the trees will burn with blackened hands

we return with the light of the evening

the trees will burn with blackened hands

nowhere to rest and nowhere to land

and we know who you are

and we know where you live

and we know there's no need to forgive

and we know who you are

and we know where you live

and we know there's no need to forgive

and we know who you are

and we know where you live

and we know there's no need to forgive

and we know who you are

and we know where you live

and we know there's no need to forgive... again

song of the moment - tears and laughter

song of the moment
tears and laughter
jonathan czerwik






no one's going to come along and line your palms with gold,
and if they did, you would unfold;
and if they did, you'd be wrong to take it

after all the tears and all the laughter,
your happiness is a string of disasters -
oh, what more could someone ask for?

no one's going to say it's wrong to set alight your soul,
but if they did, where would it go
with all your home in ashes?

after all the fear of showing ages,
on your face like the heavy scent of time
when time is all we're after

step away, stay in the light,
then we'll watch them all walk by
to the waterside

after all the fear of showing ages,
on your face like the heavy scent of time
when time is all we're after

still, on all the walls we have reminders
of the times we left behind us,
now all your words are silence

step away, stay in the light,
then we'll watch them all walk by
to the waterside

I dedicate this song to my coffeemaker.

thank you for holding, a song will be with you soon

I've been distracted.
Deal with it.

I'll post a new song as soon as I (find my coffeemaker, clean my coffeemaker and make coffee, then) finish my coffee.

Allons-y!

song of the moment - silver lining

song of the moment
silver lining
rilo kiley




and i'm not going back
into rags or in the hole
and our bruises are coming
but we will never fold

and i was your silver lining
as the story goes
i was your silver lining
but now im gold

hooray hooray i'm your silver lining
hooray hooray but now i'm gold

and i was your silver lining
high up on my toys
well you were running through fields of hitchhikers
as the story goes

hooray hooray i'm your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold
hooray hooray i'm your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold

and the grass it was a ticking
and the sun was on the rise
i never felt so wicked
as when i willed our love to die

and i was your silver lining
as the story goes
i was your silver lining
but now im gold

hooray hooray i'm your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold
hooray hooray i'm your silver lining
hooray hooray but now im gold
but now i'm gold
but now i'm gold
but now i'm gold

I’ve been silver.

song of the moment - call it off

song of the moment
call it off
tegan and sara






i won't regret saying this
this thing that i'm saying
is it better than keeping my mouth shut?
that goes without saying

call, break it off
call, break my own heart

maybe i would have been something
you'd be good at
maybe you would have been something
i'd be good at

but now we'll never know
i won't be sad
but in case i go there everyday
to make myself feel bad
there's a chance i'll start to wonder
if this was the thing to do

i won't be out long
but i still think it better if
you take your time coming over here
i think that's for the best

call, break it off
call, break my own heart

maybe i would have been something
you'd be good at
maybe you would have been something
i'd be good at

but now we'll never know
i won't be sad
but in case i go there everyday
to make myself feel bad
there's a chance i'll start to wonder
if this was the thing to do
i'll start to wonder
if this was the thing to do

lenka







i can't forget you when you're gone
you're like a song that goes around in my head
and how i regret it's been so long
oh what went wrong? could it be something i said?

time, make it go faster, or just rewind
to back when i’m wrapped in your arms

ah-oooh

all afternoon long it's with me, the same song
you left a light on inside me, my love
i can remember the way that it felt
to be holding on to you

da dum di da di dum
oh dum di da da

i can't forget you when you're gone
you're like a song that goes around in my head
and how i regret it's been so long
oh what went wrong? could it be something i said?

time, make it go faster, or just decide
to come back to my happy heart

ah-ooh oh

song of the moment - where i stood

song of the moment
where i stood
missy higgins





i don't know what i've done
or if i like what i've begun
but something told me to run
and honey you know me it's all or none

there were sounds in my head
little voices whispering
that i should go and this should end
oh and i found myself listening

cuz i don’t know who i am, who i am without you
all i know is that i should
and i don't know if i could stand another hand upon you
all i know is that i should
cuz she will love you more than i could
she who dares to stand where i stood

see i thought love was black and white
that it was wrong or it was right
but you ain't leaving without a fight
and i think i am just as torn inside

cuz i don’t know who i am, who i am without you
all i know is that i should
and i don't know if i could stand another hand upon you
all i know is that i should
cuz she will love you more than i could
she who dares to stand where i stood

and i won't be far from where you are if ever you should call
you meant more to me than anyone i ever loved at all
but you taught me how to trust myself and so i say to you
this is what i have to do

cuz i don’t know who i am, who i am without you
all i know is that i should
and i don't know if i could stand another hand upon you
all i know is that i should
cuz she will love you more than i could
she who dares to stand where i stood
oh, she who dares to stand where i stood

song of the moment - something else

song of the moment
something else
gary jules







they never tell you truth is subjective
they only tell you not to lie
they never tell you there's strength in vulnerability
they only tell you not to cry

but i've been living underground
sleeping on the way
and finding something else to say
is like walking on the freeway

they never tell you you don't need to be ashamed
they only tell you to deny
so is it true that only good girls go to heaven?
they only sell you what you buy

and i've been living underground
sleeping on the way
and finding something else to say
is like walking on the freeway

oh i've been living underground
trying not to burn
and finding something else to learn
at hollywood and western

song of the moment - moving pictures silent films

song of the moment
moving pictures silent films
great lake swimmers

oh wake me please when this is over
oh when the ice is melted away
and the hunger returns
i will be the same but older
and may be twice the bear that i thought i was

where have you been?
and what have you done?

i've been under the ground
eating prayers from this old book i found
under the ground
saving it up 
and spending it all
on moving pictures
silent films
moving pictures
silent films

oh is this the dream i've been saving?
oh where the heart beats slower and slower
to almost nothing
almost nothing
almost nothing

i took it for love or
at least something beautiful
out there in the spotlight
i turned around suddenly
turned around squinting

and saw that it was headlights
and then the truth
the truth was unbearable
oh and imminent 
bearing down on these two shadowed animals

caught painting a dotted line
caught painting a dotted line

where have you been?
and what have you done?

i've been under the ground
eating prayers from this old book i found
under the ground
saving it up 
and spending it all
on moving pictures
silent films
moving pictures
silent films

song of the moment - so easily

song of the moment
so easily
kathryn calder





windows of black kick in
i've got my light within on
to keep out those haunters
those midnight awandering songs

i can remember your face
when you said to me
how can you,
how can you so easily fold
how can you so easily fold

you swing me around
i can never say no to you,
no no no
i'm not the only one
i know that's just what you do

i can remember your face
when you said to me
how are you,
how are you so easily fooled
how are you so easily fooled

storm has subsided
i'm only half back inside
side, side
i can't erase it
the light rays are fitting your eyes
eyes, eyes

i can remember the place
where you said to me
how can you,
how can you so easily go
how can you so easily go

got a secret
can you keep it?
swear this one you'll save
better lock it in your pocket
taking this one to the grave
if i show you then i know you won't tell what i said
cuz two can keep a secret if one of them is dead

why do you smile like you've been told a secret?
now you're telling lies cuz you have sworn to keep it
but no one keeps a secret
no one keeps a secret

why when do our darkest deeds do we tell?
they burn in our brains, become a living hell
cuz everybody tells
everybody tells

got a secret
can you keep it?
swear this one you'll save
better lock it in your pocket

taking this one to the grave
if i show you then i know you won't tell what i said
cuz two can keep a secret if one of them is dead

look into my eyes, now you're getting sleepy
are you hypnotized by secrets that you're keeping?
i know what you're keeping
i know what you're keeping

got a secret
can you keep it?
swear this one you'll save
better lock it in your pocket
taking this one to the grave
if i show you then i know you won't tell what i said
cuz two can keep a secret if one of them is dead

allison?

i swear on my life.

you swore you'd never tell
you swore you'd never tell
you swore you'd never tell
you swore you'd never tell

song of the moment - so long

song of the moment
so long
keri latimer





this ship has sailed
this flight has felt its last caress against the sky
its last lap against the shoreline

left to myself
what levels of disgrace have i embraced
did i just take whatever was given to me

so long
so long

this could have run
whatever way we chased it
corners have a way
of knowing what lies deep within you

every time a chapel bell
rings out a chime
i feel it well
but not the way it means

so long
so long

this ship has sailed
this flight has felt its last caress against the sky
its last lap against the shoreline

It was surprisingly difficult to find this song.  I heard a couple lines at the end of an episode of Warehouse 13 and had to track it down.

I love the internet.

song of the moment - waiting for my real life to begin

song of the moment
waiting for my real life to begin
colin hay

any minute now

my ship is coming in

i'll keep checking the horizon

and i'll stand on the bow

and feel the waves come crashing

come crashing down, down, down on me

and you say, be still my love

open up your heart

let the light shine in

don't you understand

i already have a plan

i'm waiting for my real life to begin

when i woke today

suddenly nothing happened

but in my dreams

i slew the dragon

and down this beaten path

up this cobbled lane

i'm walking in my old footsteps

once again

and you say, just be here now

forget about the past

your mask is wearing thin

just let me throw one more dice

i know that i can win

i'm waiting for my real life to begin

any minute now

my ship is coming in

i'll keep checking the horizon

and i'll check my machine

there's sure to be that call

it's gonna happen soon, soon, oh so very soon

it's just that times are lean

and you say, be still my love

open up your heart

let the light shine in

don't you understand

i already have a plan

i'm waiting for my real life to begin

on a clear day

i can see

see a very long way

on a clear day

i can see…

see a very long way

i fell asleep watching the earth quake

slept for a week, woke with a headache

woah

everything's spinning

woah

have i lost my way?

woah

terra firma

i remember what it's like

when we were young

innocent times on steady ground

two hands on the wheel trying to push through

you're the city on a hill i keep coming back to

oh

woah

everything's spinning

woah

have i lost my way?

woah

terra firma

i remember what it's like

when we were young

innocent times on steady ground

woah

everything's spinning

woah

how'd i end up here?

woah

terra firma

i remember what it's like

when we were young

innocent times on steady ground

i remember what it's like

when we are young

innocent times on steady ground

song of the moment - belong

song of the moment
belong
cary brothers

wake up lonely with you by my side

one more night it doesn't feel

there are movies playing in your eyes

you dream of our fortunes

but you're wrong

i don't belong to you

the moon is the only friend i have outside

one more drink and i'll be healed

i told you the words and then knew it was a lie

i wish i could offer an appeal

you're wrong

i don't belong

but you're wrong

i don't belong to you

what i'd give for that

first night when you were mine

you were mine

tried with all that i

have to keep you alive

alive

i wasn't taught this way

with a thousand things to say

i was born with a broken heart

what i'd give for that first night

you were mine

so i'll put this cigarette to bed

pull some sheets from off your side

i put my arm around you safe in the night

still dreaming of fortune

but you're wrong

i don't belong

you’re wrong

i don't belong

you’re wrong

i don't belong

i don't belong

i don't belong

song of the moment - a soft place to land

song of the moment
a soft place to land
kathleen edwards

calling it quits

you think this is easy

i swear i hurt

you call in the jury

call it a catch

without any strings attached

well i'm looking for a soft place to land

the forest floor

the palms of your hands

i'm looking for a soft place to land

i call it an ace

you've gotta believe me

but you're calling me names

and not to my face

but you're calling my spade

a bluff without calling it off

i'm looking for a soft place to land

the forest floor

the palms of your hands

i'm looking for a soft place to land

call me in the night

i don't mind

i don't care

i can't sleep

call me in the day

in my car

on my way

call me by my name

all i want is to hear you say

i'm looking for a soft place to land

the forest floor

the palms of your hands

i'm looking for a soft place to land

the forest floor

the palms of your hands

the palms of your hands

the palms of your hands

hey jupiter
tori amos


original version

no one's picking up the phone

guess it's me and me

and this little masochist

she's ready to confess

all the things that i never thought

that she could feel and

hey jupiter

nothing’s been the same

so are you gay

are you blue

thought we both could use a friend to run to

and i thought i wouldn’t have to be with you

as something new

sometimes i breathe you in

and i know you know

and sometimes you take a swim

found your writing on my wall

if my heart’s soaking wet

boy your boots can leave a mess

hey jupiter

nothings been the same

so are you gay

are you blue

thought we both could use a friend to run to

and i thought you wouldn't have to keep

with me

hiding

oooh…

yes

thought i knew myself so well

all the dolls i had

took my leather off the shelf

your apocalypse was fab

for a girl who couldn't choose between

the shower or the bath

and i thought i wouldn't have to be

with you

a magazine

oooh…

yes

no one's picking up the phone

guess it's clear he's gone

and this little masochist

is lifting up her dress

guess i thought i could never feel the things i feel

hey jupiter

nothings been the same

so are you gay

are you blue

thought we both could use a friend to run to

hey jupiter

nothings been the same

so are you safe

now we’re through

thought we both could use a friend to run to

hey jupiter

song of the moment - turn on billie

song of the moment
turn on billie
the pierces

when i woke up this afternoon

i knew i felt uneasy.

but no matter what i'd do

nothing seemed to please me.

i couldn't get out of my head

that little fight we had last night.

though i would much rather be dead

than admit to myself

that you were right.

oh, oh, oh, oh

don't be silly,

turn on billie.

she's singing us to sleep

so we can dream our lives away.

and if we wake up in full makeup,

we'll paint the town blue

'cause baby, red is so passe.

now don't look at me that way.

you know i just can't take it.

and no matter what they say

i know that we will make it.

cause when we are good, we're grand

but when we're bad we are very bad.

but i stick around 'cause the love

that you're giving me is the best

i've ever had.

oh, oh, oh, oh

don't be silly,

turn on billie.

she's singing us to sleep

so we can dream our lives away.

and if we wake up in full makeup,

we'll paint the town blue

'cause baby, red is so passe.

and it's funny to me,

the way that things have worked out.

there's no doubt (in my mind)

that you can't recall

what this all was about.

so let's give it up.

love me sweetly and completely

come and sit beside me

'cause you know i need you near.

when you're wheelin'

with that feelin'

we'll paint the town pink

'cause baby, red is so last year.

don't be silly,

turn on billie.

she's singing us to sleep

so we can dream our lives away.

and if we wake up in full makeup,

we'll paint the town blue

'cause baby, red is so passe.

song of the moment - four winds

song of the moment
four winds
bright eyes

your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe

there's people always dying trying to keep them alive

there's bodies decomposing in containers tonight

in an abandoned building where

squatters made a mural of a mexican girl

with fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl

she's standing in the ashes at the end of the world

four winds blowing through her hair

but when great satan's gone... the whore of babylon...

she just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed

she caves

the bible's blind, the torah's deaf, the qur'an's mute

if you burned them all together you'd get close to the truth still

they're pouring over sanskrit on the ivy league moons

while shadows lengthen in the sun

cast all the school and meditation built to soften the times

and hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds

it's knocking over fences crossing property lines

four winds, cry until it comes

and it's the sum of man slouching towards bethlehem

a heart just can't contain all of that empty space

it breaks. it breaks.

it breaks.

well i went back by rented cadillac and company jet

like a newly orphaned refugee retracing my steps

all the way to cassadaga to commune with the dead

they said, "you'd better look alive"

and i was off to old dakota where a genocide sleeps

in the black hills, the badlands, the calloused east

i buried my ballast. i made my peace.

heard four winds, leveling the pines

but when great satan's gone... the whore of babylon...

she just can't remain with all that outer space

she breaks. she breaks. she caves. she caves.

song of the moment - everyday

song of the moment
everyday
toby lightman

everyday is a struggle between what i wanna say

and what i should keep to myself

and the words that manage to leave my lips

don't hurt me, but they hurt everyone else

so i find myself in need of a pause

i'm not sure why, but i think that it's because

of this desire to be what others want me to be

which is nothing close to me

but i'll see better when the smoke clears

when the smoke clears inside my head

and i can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything i've said

all that remains me and who i am at the end of the day

and this happens everyday

everyday is a battle between what i wanna know

and what i don't wanna figure out

and everything in between in these thoughts of mine

that you know i can't live without

so i find myself in need of a pause

i'm not sure why, but i think that it's because

of this desire to be what others want me to be

which is nothing close to me

but i'll see better when the smoke clears

when the smoke clears inside my head

and i can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything i've said

all that remains me and who i am at the end of the day

and this happens everyday

but i'll see better when the smoke clears

when the smoke clears inside my head

and i can listen when the screaming doesn't repeat everything i've said

all that remains me and who i am at the end of the day

and this happens everyday

this happens everyday

and this happens everyday

song of the moment - the world is

song of the moment

the world is

matthew ryan

this is an invisible song

from an invisible man

lost in the wilderness

of a static avalanche

i started out with wonder

with air on my teeth

careful what you wish for

there's something underneath

because the world

is held together

with lies and promises

and broken hearts

and brand new days

for you to start

all over again

all over again

all over again

she's standing in the doorway

she's taking off my shirt

no one could have told me

one day this would hurt

i'm moving through manhattan

in the back seat of a cab

and all that ever happens

that's all we'll ever have

'cause the world

is held together

with lies and promises

and broken hearts

and brand new days

for you to start

all over again

all over again

all over again

now some will say it's maudlin

and some will say bullshit

but there's no living without living

and the living shows you this

that the world

is held together

with lies and promises

and broken hearts

and brand new days

for you to start

all over again

all over again

all over again
