It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start."

"If you feel discouraged
That there's a lack of color here
Please don't worry lover
It's really bursting at the seams
For absorbing everything
The spectrum's a to z"

Will help your wounds heal,
Like the sun on your face,
The dreams of starry nights."

Question to my nearest and dearest

Chasing Cars

If I just lay here,
would you lie with me
and just forget the world?"

A little bit country

Beautiful Cage
by The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash


"You spin round as the world stands still
your soul burns with the sweetest pain
you cry all night long till sleep comes down
you wake to find that your still here in your beautiful cage"

A long time since

Peaceful. True.

Turn Out the Light

"Somehow my time got out of my hands
I just wanna stop master commands
I'm telling you true
it won't be this way again."

Special

There's a reason I like this song...more than just its beat.

Come On, Eileen
by Dexy's Midnight Runners


"These people 'round here
With their beat down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
They're resigned to what their fate is
But not us, (no never) no not us (no never)
We are far to young and clever
Come on Eileen
Toora loora toora loo rye aye
I've been on this toon forever"

I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you."

Aww home...

Lots of good songs on Pandora tonight. The Broken Bells station is treating me right. I thought about posting a few song since I skipped a few days but...this song is too perfect right now to share with others.

Home
by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes


"We laugh until we think we’ll die,
barefoot on a summer night
Nothin’ new is sweeter than with you

And in the streets we're running
free like i's only you and mee
Geez, you’re somethin' to see."

Some songs

Just pop up out of the blue. This one randomly started playing on my phone. (I also like the original Phil Collins version).

Against All Odds
by The Postal Service


"Take a look at me now,
'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me
is against all odds and that's what I've got to face "

Hey now, hey now

This song Grabs my attention and holds it. It always has.

Don't Dream It's Over
by Crowded House


"There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road "

Appropriate

Meant to post this before I went to bed last night. Very suiting. Both figuratively and literally (damn sore throat hurts!)

Cough Syrup
Young the Giant

"If I could find a way to see this straight
I'd run away
To some fortune that I should have found by now

And so I run now to the things they said could restore me
Restore life the way it should be
I'm waiting for this cough syrup to come down"

Save my world?

Capitol H
by Motion City Soundtrack


"I'll be back tomorrow
I'll be back in the ballroom swingin'
I'll be back with my Superman action
And I’m off to save the world"

Ballad!

There are so many versions of this song...too many really...and after listening to several I still haven't found my favorite. I think many of the instrumental versions get the music right....the haunting beat of it. Now if only a bass singer would stick to that music then you'd probably have my favorite. It's a good song and story nonetheless.

Ghost Riders in the Sky
written by Stan Jones


"Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry"

Take my hand

Love how the song flows

Mother Mary
by The Foxboro Hottubs


"Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination"
