Fallweather - Kill My Doubt

 Fallweather - Kill My Doubt

Waiting for another way
To waste all my years again
I sit and do nothing with myself
Then I wonder why I want to
Kill my doubt
I want to kill my doubt

Always searching for
Another way out
Always searching for
Another way out

Waiting for another way
To cut my ties and bury them
(and bury them)

Always searching for
Another way out
Always searching for
Another way out
(another way)
(another way out)
Always searching for

Always searching for
Another way out
And now I'm cutting my ties again
I remember how it used to feel
When I wasn't on the ledge
(when I wasn't on the ledge)

Blue October - Should Be Loved

 Blue October - Should Be Loved

Stop staring, you're the reason I feel so unhappy all the time.
Look, I've given you everything I know how.
You're standing on the top of my shoe,
Keeping me from gaining ground, yeah.
Look, I'm sorry if you feel like I let you down.

Can you tell me what have I done so wrong..to you?
T-T-T-Tell me, what am I supposed to do?

I should be loved by you,
That I know is true.
I can't breathe when you're around, no.

I should be held at night,
That I know is right.
I can't breathe when you're around.

You're too scared,
Scared of all of it,
I get that feeling I'm talking to the wall.
Can you hear me at all?
Look, my world was shaking, my mind was quaking, my heart kept breaking,
I threw it against the wall.
Can anyone feel me at all?

Can you tell me what have I done so wrong, to you?
T-T-T-Tell me, what am I supposed to do?
I got a feeling, you're falling out of love, with me.
T-T-T-Tell me, who am I supposed to be?

I should be loved by you
That I know is true.
I can't breathe when you're around, no.

I should be held at night,
That I know is right.
I can't breathe when you're around.
Yeah, I can't breathe when you're around.
Look, I can't breathe.

I should be loved by you,
That I know is true!
I can't breathe when you're around!
I should be held, I should be held!
I can't breathe when you're around!
No, I can't breathe when you're around!
No, I can't breathe

Niall Horan - Little More Time

 Niall Horan - Little More Time

I wanna steal every clock in this house
Turn 'em all upside downI wish that I could freeze this moment
Write every detail down

You're dancin' down the hall
So cinematically painted
I'm climbin' up the walls
The plane is takin' off, but I keep sayin'

One more song 'fore we say goodbye
Just a little more time, just a little more time
One more drink or a bottle of wine
Just a little more time, just a little more time
Climb in bed and I'm makin' your side
Just a little more mine, just a little more mine
One more song 'fore we say goodbye
Just a little more time, just a little more time
A little more time

I wish my world could spin without me
I'd live in yours instead
Lay here with you, just decomposing
Bury me in your bed
I just wish we had

One more song 'fore we say goodbye
Just a little more time, just a little more time
One more drink or a bottle of wine
Just a little more time, just a little more time
Climb in bed and I'm makin' your side
Just a little more mine, just a little more mine
One more song 'fore we say goodbye
Just a little more time, just a little more time
A little more time
ChorusOne more song 'fore we say goodbye
Just a little more time
One more drink or a bottle of wine
Just a little more, just a little more
Climb in bed and I'm makin' your side
Just a little more mine, just a little more mine
One more song 'fore we say goodbye
Just a little more time, just a little more time
A little more time
Just a little more time (a little more, little more)
Just another little more

So cinematically, little more time (little more time)
I've had enough, the world's so clean, it's taken off
But I need a little more time

Dua Lipa - These Walls - feat. Pierre de Maere

  Dua Lipa - These Walls feat. Pierre de Maere

 
[Verse 1: Dua Lipa]
Maybe we should switch careers
'Cause, baby, you know no one beats our poker faces
And when the night ends up in tears
Wake up and we blame it all on being wasted

[Pre-Chorus: Dua Lipa]
Oh, this love is fadin'
So much we're not sayin'

[Chorus: Dua Lipa]
But if these walls could talk
(They'd say) "Enough"
(They'd say) "Give up"
If these walls could talk
(They'd say) "You know"
(They'd say) "You're f---ed"
It's not supposed to hurt this much
Oh, if these walls could talk
They'd tell us to break up

[Post-Chorus: Dua Lipa]
(These walls, these walls, these walls)
They'd tell us to break up
(These walls, these walls, these walls, these walls)

[Verse 2: Pierre de Maere]
Yeah (Mm)
J'ai tout gâché bien sûr (Ah)
À croire à tes histoires, aux va-et-vient chorégraphiés (Mm)
Tout oublier (Ah, ah), c'est dans mes habitudes
À croire que ça me charme de nous voir nous déchirer

[Pre-Chorus: Pierre de Maere & Dua Lipa, Pierre de Maere]
Mais encore, mon amour, je reviens quand même
Dis-moi que tu m'aimes comme ils font au cinéma
Moi j'attends les beaux jours
Mais jamais ils ne viennent dans tes bras

[Chorus: Dua Lipa & Pierre de Maere, Dua Lipa, Pierre de Maere]
But if these walls could talk
(They'd say) "Enough"
(They'd say) "Give up" (I know)
Si tu m'aimes encore
(They'd say) "Dis-le"
(They'd say) "Plus fort"
It's not supposed to hurt this much
On s'est donné rendez-vous là-haut
C'est le dernier rendez-vous
Des amoureux vaincus

[Post-Chorus: Dua Lipa & Pierre de Maere]
Mm, ooh
Des amoureux vaincus
Mm, ooh
Des amoureux vaincus

[Bridge: Pierre de Maere, Dua Lipa & Pierre de Maere]
C'est fini, mon amour
On s'est donnés, donnés, donnés, donnés
Ils sont là, les beaux jours
On s'est donnés, donnés

[Chorus: Dua Lipa & Pierre de Maere, Dua Lipa, Pierre de Maere]
But if these walls could talk
(They'd say) "Enough"
(They'd say) "Give up" (Give it up, give it up)
Si tu m'aimes encore
(They'd say) "Dis-le"
(They'd say) "Plus fort"
It's not supposed to hurt this much
On s'est donné rendez-vous là-haut
C'est le dernier rendez-vous
Des amoureux vaincus

[Post-Chorus: Dua Lipa, Dua Lipa & Pierre de Maere]
(These walls, these walls, these walls)
They'd tell us to break up
(These walls, these walls, they would tell us)
Des amoureux vaincus ("Break up")

PIERRE DE MAERE - Je pense à vous (Clip Officiel)

 PIERRE DE MAERE - Je pense à vous

Je vais, je viens, ça monte
Et je pense à vous

Tous les mecs et les filles de mon âge
Me regardent comme si j'avais la rage
Je jouerai avec ou sans vous
Oh, ça ne m'importe pas
J'imagine tous vos jolis visages
Ça me fout dans un drôle d'état
Je n'ai besoin de rien du tout
C'est entre moi et moi

Je vais, je viens, ça monte
Et je pense à vous
Je n'ai besoin de rien
Que de mon six-coups



I come and go, it's building up And I think of you All the guys and girls my age Look at me like I'm raging I'll play with or without you Oh, I don't care I imagine all your pretty faces It puts me in a strange state I don't need anything at all It's between me and me I come and go, it's building up And I think of you I don't need anything But my six-shooter

Second Peter Chapter One

1    SIMON Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with
    us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:

2    Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3    According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the
    knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4    Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:  that by these ye might be partakers of 
    the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5    And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue;  and to virtue knowledge;

6    And to knowledge temperance;  and to temperance patience;  and to patience godliness;

7    And to godliness brotherly kindness  and to brotherly kindness charity.

8    For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the
    knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9    But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from
    his old sins.

10    Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:  for if ye do these things, 
    ye shall never fall:

11    For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour
    Jesus Christ.

12    Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them,
    and be established in the present truth.

13    Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance;

14    Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.

15    Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.

16    For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of
    our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

17    For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent
    glory, This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased.

18    And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.

19    We have also a more sure word of prophecy;  whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth
    in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:

20    Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

21    For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man:  but holy men of God spake as they were moved by
    the Holy Ghost.

Jack White - Same Boy You've Always Known (Live) Saint-Saturnin Chapel, Fontainebleau Castle (2014)

 Jack White - Same Boy You've Always Known

You fell down of course
And then you got up of course
And started over
Forgot my name of course
Then you started to remember
Pretty tough to think about
The beginning of December
Pretty tough to think about
Pretty tough to think about
Yeah, yeah, pretty tough to think about
You're looking down again
And then you look me over
We're laying down again
On a blanket in the clover
The same boy you've always known
Well I guess I haven't grown
The same boy you've always known
Same boy you've always known
Think of what the past did
It could've lasted
So put it in your basket
I hope you know a strong man
Who can lend you a hand
Lowering my casket
I thought this is just today
And soon you'd been returning
The coldest blue ocean water
Cannot stop my heart and mind from burning
Everyone who's in the know, says
That's exactly how it goes
And if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows 

Benjamin Clementine - Condolence

Benjamin Clementine - Condolence 

 I swear that you've seen me
Yes you've seen me here before, before
And so don't tell it
Don't tell it otherwise
This voice, this particular voice
Yes you've heard it before, before
And so don't you dare tell it
Don't you dare tell it otherwise

No wonder why the road seems so long
Cause I have done it all before
And I won

You felt this feeling
Tell me, don't be ashamed
You felt it before, before
And so don't tell me
Don't tell me otherwise
I almost forgot, foolish me
I almost forgot, forgot
Where I'm from you see the rain
Before the rain even starts to rain

Before I was born there was a storm
Before that storm there was fire
Burning everywhere, everywhere
And everything became nothing again
Then out of nothing
Out of absolutely nothing
I Benjamin, I was born
So that when I become someone one day
I'll always remember I came from nothing

No wonder why you've been buggering me
Cause this walk it's a previous journey
And no wonder why the road seem so long
Cause I have done it all before
And I won

I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to fear
I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to insecurities
You should know by now
You should know by now that I just don't care
For what you might say
Might bring someone downhill
I'm sending my condolence
I'm sending my condolence to fear

Sleeping With Sirens - Forever/Always

Sleeping With Sirens - Forever/Always 

You said that you’d take me home 
Promise me, promise me 
You’ll never let me go 

I tried to leave it all behind me 
These scars on my heart 
Still remain 
I’m numb to the pain 
Can you take me away?
Because this life isn’t fair 
It’s a suicide game 
But when you are here 
I don’t feel so afraid 

You said that you’d take me home 
Promise me, promise me now 
Swear that you’ll never let me go 
Because I need you here, I need you so 
And through it all 
The rise and the fall 
You’ve always been right here 
With me all along 

Sometimes it can feel like forever 
Forever’s just a second away 
But I would never take you for granted 
I’ll carry all the hopeless mistakes 
Because I just need you here with me 
Forever always 

You said that you’d take me home 
Promise me, promise me now 
Swear that you’ll never let me go 
Because I need you here, I need you so 
And through it all 
The rise and the fall 
You’ve always been right here 
With me all along 

Right here with me all along 

Take me back 
Take it all 
Take me alive 
Look inside
You’ve seen it all 
I know we’ll survive 
I’ll always be with you 
You’ll always be mine 
I’ll lead you through the darkness 
Won’t leave you behind 

Take me back 
Take it all 
Take me alive 
Look inside
You’ve seen it all 
I know we’ll survive 
I’ll always be with you 
You’ll always be mine 
I’ll lead you through the darkness 
Won’t leave you behind

Because I just need you here 
With me forever always 

You said that you’d take me home 
Promise me, promise me now 
Swear that you’ll never let me go 
Because I need you here, I need you so 
And through it all 
The rise and the fall 
You’ve always been right here 
With me all along 

You said that you’d take me home 
Promise me, promise me now 
Swear that you’ll never let me go 
Promise me, promise me 
Promise me, promise me now 
Promise me, promise me 
Promise me, promise me now.

Joel Chapter One

1    THE word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

2    Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land.  Hath this been in your days, 
    or even in the days of your fathers?

3    Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.

4    That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten:  and that which the locust hath left hath
    the cankerworm eaten;  and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.

5    Awake, ye drunkards, and weep;  and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine;  for it is
    cut off from your mouth.

6    For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion,
    and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

7    He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree:  he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away;
    the branches thereof are made white.


8    Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

9    The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD;  the priests,
    the LORD'S ministers, mourn.

10    The field is wasted, the land mourneth;  for the corn is wasted:  the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

11    Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen;  howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley;  because
    the harvest of the field is perished.

12    The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth;  the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple
    tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered:  because joy is withered away from the sons of men.


13    Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests:  howl, ye ministers of the altar:  come, lie all night in sackcloth,
    ye ministers of my God:  for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

14    Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house
    of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,

15    Alas for the day!  for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

16    Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

17    The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down;  for the corn
    is withered.

18    How do the beasts groan!  the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture;  yea, the flocks
    of sheep are made desolate.

19    O LORD, to thee will I cry:  for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath
    burned all the trees of the field.

20    The beasts of the field cry also unto thee:  for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured
    the pastures of the wilderness.

    Joel Chapter One - KJV

Poets of the Fall - Daze

Poets of the Fall - Daze 

Rolling down the freeway
Master to the speed of light
Screaming up in the air
Bursting through the night
No rest, I've stayed here too long
It's time to move on
Reality's a three way
A scenery defined
By tomorrow dubbed a mystery
And the past just blurry lines
If there's ever been injustice in my name
I bow unto blame
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire
With bittersweet desire
To chase away the night
Let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire
For bliss in sweet denial
Oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?
Drifting like a cast off
The shadows got it good
With constant companions
Would that I could
Further afield
My nemesis on stilts is gaining on me
So I crawl across the state line
To another state of being
Holding on for dear life to the better days I've seen
Long for the comfort of your loving arms
Your passions, your charms
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire
With bittersweet desire
To chase away the night
Let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire
For bliss in sweet denial
Oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?
Did you ever feel your love eclipsing the sun?
I give you the reason I'm still on the run
Disappear in the heavy glare of neon
And you can give me everything I need this way
We'll be loving till the first light of the day
Set the world on fire
With bittersweet desire
To chase away the night
Let the whole world burn
Set the world on fire
For bliss in sweet denial
Oblivion and peace
Will you let me burn?

The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking (live at Coachella 2026)

The Strokes - The Adults Are Talking 

They've been sayin', "You're sophisticated"
They're complainin', overeducated
You are saying all the words I'm dreaming
Say it after me
Say it after me
They will blame us, crucify and shame us
We can't help it if we are a problem
We are tryin' hard to get your attention
I'm climbin' up your wall
Climbin' up your wall
 

Don't go there 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same as you
 

You were waitin' for the elevator
You were sayin' all the words I'm dreaming
No more askin' questions or excuses
Information's here
Here and everywhere
 

Don't go there 'cause you'll never return
I know you think of me when you think of her
But then it don't make sense when you're tryin' hard
To do the right thing but without recompense
And then you did something wrong and you said it was great
And now you don't know how you could ever complain
Because you're all confused 'cause you want me to
But then you want me to do it the same way as you, and, but
 

I don't, I don't want anything
I know it's not, it's not your fault
I don't want anyone
Always I do, it's not for you
 

Ah
Ooh
 

Stockholders
Same shit, a different lie
I'll get it right sometime
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
Oh, maybe not tonight
 

Hello?
Yeah, boy, here we go
And a-one, and a-two, and a-three
Here we go, friends
Hold on, I can't-
Maybe that's kooky situation
So, let's go back to the old key, old tempo, everything
Okay

Jaafar Jackson's Stunning Piano Cover of Justin Bieber's '"As Long As You Love Me"

Jaafar Jackson "As Long As You Love Me"

As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We're under pressure
Seven billion people in the world tryna fit in
Keep it together
Smile on your face, even though your heart is frowning
But hey now, you know girl
We both know it's a cruel world
But I will take my chances
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me, love me
I'll be your soldier
Fighting every second of the day for your dreams, girl
I'll be your Hova
You could be my Destiny's Child on the scene, girl
So don't stress and don't cry
Oh, we don't need no wings to fly
Just take my hand
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me, love me
As long as you love me
I don't know if this makes sense, but you're my hallelujah
Give me a time and place, I'll rendezvous it
I'll fly you to it, I'll beat you there
Girl, you know I got you
Us, trust, a couple things I can't spell without U
Now we on top of the world
'Cause that's just how we do
Used to tell me sky's the limit, now the sky's our point of view
Man, we stepping out, like woah, oh God
Cameras point and shoot
Ask me, "What's my best side"
I stand back and point at you, you, you
The one that I argue with
Feel like I need a new girl to be bothered with
But the grass ain't always greener on the other side
It's green where you water it
So I know, we got issues baby, true, true, true
But I'd rather work on this with you
Than to go ahead and start with someone new
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll be your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you love me
As long as you love me
As long as you love me (I'll be your silver, I'll be your gold)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (it's all I want baby)
As long as you love me, you love me, you love me (please, don't go)
As long as you love me, as long as you love me, 'long as you love me
As long as you love me

Arcade Fire - Wake Up (Glastonbury 2007)

 Arcade Fire - Wake Up

Something filled up
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

Children, wake up
Hold your mistake up
Before they turn the summer into dust
If the children don't grow up
Our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up
We're just a million little gods causing rain storms
Turning every good thing to rust
I guess we'll just have to adjust

With my lightning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am going to be
When the reaper he reaches and touches my hand
With my lightning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am going
With my lightning bolts a glowing
I can see where I am go-going
You better look out below! 

Live - Pain Lies on the Riverside (1992/Live At The Chameleon, MTV Version)

 Live - Pain Lies on the Riverside

I have never taken life
Yet I have often paid the price
And you, you are a victim of this age
And the guilt that hangs around your neck
Has got me locked up in a cage
 

You've got to learn to live until no end
But first you must learn to swim
All over again
Oh no because...
Pain lies on the riverside (yes)
And pain will never say goodbye (no no)
 

Pain lies on the riverside
So put your feet in the water
Put your head in the water
Put your soul in the water
Join me for a swim tonight
 

I have forever, always tried
To stay clean and constantly baptized (oh)
I'm aware that the river's banks they are dry
And to wait for a flood
Is to wait for life
 

I've got to learn to live until no end

 The Stockholm Robot - Novocaine Smile


We jumped off the speeding train
the one sped in circles heading nowhere for a fee
we hobbled along with the field brakes and springs
with some tourniquets on our knees

we snuck by the man asleep at the base of a tree
with a gun in his hand

we stepped on the criss cross branches and fell ten feet deep
and we realized it was part of his plan

he peered over the edge
then ashed his cigarette in our hair
and shook his head
he cussed up a storm
and said he'd caught the wrong ones
and we should thank God that we weren't dead

so we did


somehow we learned
to smile at the rain
as it was pouring down
pouring down 

and all the rest of life's little tests
were washed away
into a puddle
for someone else to step in

for someone else to step in

for someone else


First Peter Chapter Five

1    THE elders which are among you I exhort, who am also an elder, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ,
    and also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed:

2    Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly;
    not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;

3    Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.

4    And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.

5    Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder.  Yea, all of you be subject one to another,
    and be clothed with humility:  for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

6    Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

7    Casting all your care upon him;  for he careth for you.

8    Be sober, be vigilant;  because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom
    he may devour:

9    Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren
    that are in the world.

10    But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered
    a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.

11    To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.

12    By Silvanus, a faithful brother unto you, as I suppose, I have written briefly, exhorting and testifying that
    this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand.

13    The church that is at Babylon, elected together with you, saluteth you;  and so doth Marcus my son.

14    Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity.  Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.  Amen.

Psalm 46 - KJV and Scottish Metrical Psalter

 
1    GOD is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2    Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains
      be carried into the midst of the sea;

3    Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the
      swelling thereof. Selah.

4    There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of
      the tabernacles of the most High.

5    God is in the midst of here; she shall not be moved:  God shall help her, and that right early.

6    The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved:  he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7    The LORD of host is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah.

8    Come, behold the works of the LORD, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9    He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the
      spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10    Be still, and know that I am God:  I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11    The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.  Selah.

        Psalm 46 - KJV

 

 1 God is our refuge and our strength,
in straits a present aid;
2 Therefore, although the earth remove,
we will not be afraid:
Though hills amidst the seas be cast;
3 Though waters roaring make,
And troubled be; yea, though the hills,
by swelling seas do shake.
4 A river is, whose streams do glad
the city of our God;
The holy place, wherein the Lord
most high hath his abode.
5 God in the midst of her doth dwell;
nothing shall her remove:
The Lord to her an helper will,
and that right early, prove.
6 The heathen rag'd tumultuously,
the kingdoms moved were:
The Lord God uttered his voice,
the earth did melt for fear.
7 The Lord of hosts upon our side
doth constantly remain:
The God of Jacob's our refuge,
us safely to maintain.
8 Come, and behold what wondrous works
have by the Lord been wrought;
Come, see what desolations
he on the earth hath brought.
9 Unto the ends of all the earth
wars into peace he turns:
The bow he breaks, the spear he cuts,
in fire the chariot burns.
10 Be still, and know that I am God;
among the heathen I
Will be exalted; I on earth
will be exalted high.
11 Our God, who is the Lord of hosts,
is still upon our side;
The God of Jacob our refuge
for ever will abide.

Mod Sun - I Remember Way Too Much

 Mod Sun - I Remember Way Too Much

I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
Ay, I remember when we wished we were older
I remember how we felt late October
"I'll always keep you warm", is what I told her
"I'll always keep you warm", is what I told her
I remember wishing on a four leaf clover
And writing your name all over my folders
"I'll always be around", is what I told her
"I'll always be around", is what I told her
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
And you know I could never forget
All the trouble me and you got in
In the summer of 2006
Baby, you know I could never forget
I remember sneaking out and coming over
I remember freaking out, I wasn't sober (no)
"I hope I end up with you", is what I told her
"I'm gonna end up with you", is what I told her
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember waiting for the sun to rise
I remember where we went wrong that night
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
I remember way too much
Is what, is what I told her

Chris Cornell - Preaching the End of the World

 Chris Cornell - Preaching the End of the World

Hello, I know there's someone out there who can understand
And who's feeling the same way as me
I'm twenty-four and I've got everything to live for
But I know now that it wasn't meant to be
'Cause all has been lost and all has been won
And there's nothing left for us to save
But now I know that I don't want to be alone today
So if you find that you've been feeling just the same

Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world

I've got a photograph I'll send it off today
And you will see that I am perfectly sane
Not for a lifetime or forever and a day
'Cause we know now that just won't be the case
There will be no commitment and no confessions
And no little secrets to keep
No little children or houses with roses just the
End of the world and me
'Cause all has been gone and all has been done
And there's nothing left for us to say
But we could be together as they blow it all away
And we can share in every moment as it breaks

Call me now it's alright
It's just the end of the world
You need a friend in the world
'Cause you can't hide
So call and I'll get right back
If your intentions are pure
I'm seeking a friend for the end of the world.

First Thessalonians Chapter Five


1    BUT of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2    For yourselves know perfectly that they day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3    For when they shall say, Peace and safety;  then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon
    a woman with child;  and they shall not escape.

4    But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5    Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day:  we are not of the night nor of darkness.

6    Therefore let us not sleep, as do others;  but let us watch and be sober.

7    For they that sleep sleep in the night;  and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8    But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love;  and for an helmet,
    the hope of salvation.

9    For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10    Who died for us, that , whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11    Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

12    And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord,
    and admonish you;

13    And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.  And be at peace among yourselves.

14    Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak,
    be patient toward all men.

15    See that none render evil for evil unto any man;  but ever follow that which is good, both among
    yourselves, and to all men.

16    Rejoice evermore.

17    Pray without ceasing.

18    In every thing give thanks:  for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19    Quench not the Spirit.

20    Despise not prophesyings.

21    Prove all things;  hold fast that which is good.

22    Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23    And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;  and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be
    preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24    Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

25    Brethren, pray for us.

26    Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

27    I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

28    The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.  Amen.

Manchester Orchestra - Bed Head (Echo Mountain Rooftop Session)

  Manchester Orchestra - Bed Head

Arguing with the dead
I’m not alone but it sure feels like someone left
Deaf notes and talking heads

Carrying on your debt
Blood on the bed head and volumes you left unsaid
Let ‘em talk and let it habit
Now I’m afraid you’re alone

Oh my god
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish, my past, and my time
You and I are holy fire, so…

Oh my god
Let me extinguish, the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind

Now I believe in the ghost

Clawing against your skin
Clutching my neck said “it’s all supposed to end like this”
You and I are panoramic
Now I’m afraid of the ghost

Oh my god
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish, my past, and my time
There is only love and fire, so…

Oh my god, let me extinguish the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the ghost

Right by the entrance you broke, finally reality’s taking its hold
You’re not who you were, but you can’t let it go
You’re not where you’re from, but you’re always alone
So I stick a flag in the ground, I think I now who I’m living for now
I am what I am, same above as the ground
It’s not what I want, but I’m figuring it out

Oh my god
Let me relinquish and start to distinguish, my past, and my time
You and I are holy fire, so…

Oh my god
Let me extinguish, the habit, the sequence, the loss, in my mind
Now I believe in the ghost

Masuka - guitar cover of Muse - Hysteria

Muse - Hysteria 

 It's bugging me
Grating me
And twisting me around
Yeah, I'm endlessly
Caving in
And turning inside out
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
And I'm breaking out
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
And it's holding me
Morphing me
And forcing me to strive
To be endlessly
Cold within
And dreaming I'm alive
'Cause I want it now
I want it now
Give me your heart and your soul
I'm not breaking down
I'm breaking out
Last chance to lose control
And I want you now
I want you now
I feel my heart implode
And I'm breaking out
Escaping now
Feeling my faith erode

Sam Barber - Hate it Here

 Sam Barber - Hate it Here

Shakey breathing subtle speaking it ain’t fierce but it shows 
Cause aimless meaning Sheetrock and ceiling have turned me into a ghost 
Endless working concrete poured in it all sinks to my chest
So burn the curtains cause I’m fairly certain there’s only darkness ahead

And I can’t escape the way
That you say I’ve changed
And now I hate the way
That you say my name

All I am and all I was is all I hear 
I’d give all just to turn back the years 
Where I’ve been what I’ve done is what I fear 
Most days I hate it here 
I hate it here 

Pictures hanging hung up by shameless ways that I’d never show
Bone dried ran through, I can’t even blame you for trading me for my ghost

And I can’t escape the way
That you say I’ve changed
And now I hate the way
That you say my name

All I am and all I was is all I hear 
I’d give all just to turn back the years 
Where I’ve been what I’ve done is what I fear 
Most days I hate it here
I hate it here

All I am and all I was is all I hear 
I’d give all just to turn back the years 
Where I’ve been what I’ve done is what I fear 
Most days I hate it here
