Max McNown - Heart You Didn't Break

 Max McNown - Heart You Didn't Break

I've storm chased
Along the Oregon coastline
Tried dodging lies and landmines
But that never worked too well

And I've been war-torn
Beaten down and bruised bad
A Northwestern nomad
Crying out for help

So won't you please protect my soul?
All I need is a hand to hold
To drive out the darkness and leave a little love in its place
And heal this heart you didn't break

Well, I've wandered
Desert sands and mountain tops
I tested God and lost a lot
And blamed somebody else
And I've got skeletons
They're knocking on my closet door
And I can't hold them back no more
All by myself

So won't you please protect my soul?
All I need is a hand to hold
To drive out the darkness and leave a little love in its place
And heal this heart you didn't break
Oh, heart you didn't break

And I might not deserve what I'm asking for
I burned all my chances, but I'd give my life for one more
I'm begging you down on my knees

So won't you please protect my soul?
All I need is your hand to hold
Please protect my soul
All I need is a hand to hold
To drive out the darkness and leave some love in its place
And heal this heart you didn't break

Oh
Heal this heart you didn't break
Ooh, find a little space
And heal this heart you didn't break

Halestorm - Dear Daughter

 Halestorm - Dear Daughter

Dear daughter, hold your head up high
There's a world outside that's passin' by
Dear daughter, never lose yourself
Remember that you're like nobody else
Life throws you into the unknown
And you feel like you're out there all alone
Well, these are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all, year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here for you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Dear daughter, don't worry 'bout those stupid girls
If they try to bring you down, it's 'cause they're scared and insecure
And dear daughter, don't change for any man
Even if he promises the stars and takes you by the hand
Life throws you into the unknown
And you feel like you're out there all alone
Well, these are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all, year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here for you
Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Dear daughter, I was just like you
And just like me, you're gonna make it through
These are words that every girl should have a chance to hear
There will be love, there will be pain
There will be hope, there will be fear
And through it all, year after year
Stand or fall, I will be right here
And after all, I will be right here for you

Titus Chapter One

1    PAUL, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the 
    acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness;

2    In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

3    But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according
    to the commandment of God our Saviour;

4    To Titus, mine own son after the common faith:  Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord 
    Jesus Christ our Saviour.

5    For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders
    in every city, as I had appointed thee:

6    If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

7    For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God;  not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, 
    not given to filthy lucre;

8    But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate;

9    Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort 
    and to convince the gainsayers.

10    For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:

11    Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not,
    for filthy lucre's sake.

12    One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are always liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

13    This witness is true.  Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;

14    Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

15    Unto the pure all things are pure:  but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure;  but even
    their mind and conscience is defiled.

16    They profess that they know God;  but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto
    every good work reprobate.

    Titus Chapter One - KJV

Young The Giant - The Walk Home

 Young The Giant - The Walk Home

Is anyone out there listening?
I’ve lost myself
Deep in the algorithm of someone else
And under new conditions
I might find that I was always perfectly alone

Can somebody walk me home?
To pearly gates
The universe becomes a wave
And crashes down
Forever’s not enough
And under new conditions
You are not alone

Is anyone out there listening
I’ve lost myself
But there is a song that echoes like morning bells
And as a distant memory shoots right through me
I am left so perfectly alone

Can somebody walk me home?
To pearly gates
The universe becomes a wave
And crashes down
Forever’s not enough
And under new conditions
We are not alone

And when I get better someday
I’ll see myself in you
The way it’s always been
And under new conditions I might find that
We will always walk each other home

Can somebody walk me home?

Tim Reynolds - In Your Eyes - solo acoustic instrumental (Peter Gabriel cover)

 Tim Reynolds - In Your Eyes 

Love, I get so lost, sometimes
days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
when I want to run away
I drive off in my car
but whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are

all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
the heat I see in your eyes

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
so much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive

and all my instincts, they return
and the grand facade, so soon will burn
without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside

in your eyes
the light the heat
in your eyes
I am complete
in your eyes
I see the doorway to a thousand churches
in your eyes
the resolution of all the fruitless searches
in your eyes
I see the light and the heat
in your eyes
oh, I want to be that complete
I want to touch the light,
the heat I see in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes
in your eyes in your eyes

Marble Sounds - The Time to Sleep

Marble Sounds - The Time to Sleep

 

 [Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
You're falling in a lower gear
A little rest is what you need
You're rolled up on the seat
Your arms around your knees

[Verse 2]
We met by chance, talked on the phone
We kept in touch, I took you home
Sure, it proves we get along
And it will only get better from now on

[Chorus]
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive

[Verse 2]
Right moments come out of the blue
But when there's one, it's up to you
Even when the time was up, I couldn't stop
I was floating all day long
 

[Chorus]
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive
We found a place, to which we drive
And I offer you the time
To sleep, to dream
To wake up when we arrive


First Thessalonians Chapter One

1    PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and
    in the Lord Jesus Christ:  Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.

2    We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers;

3    Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus
    Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

4    Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.

5    For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much
    assurance;  as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake.

6    And ye became followers of us, and of the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy
    of the Holy ghost:

7    So that ye were ensamples to all that believe in Macedonia and Achaia.

8    For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place
    your faith to God-ward is spread abroad;  so that we need not to speak any thing.

9    For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God
    from idols to serve the living and true God;

10    And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, Which delivered us 
    from the wrath to come.

    First Thessalonians Chapter One - KJV

Zephaniah Chapter One

1    THE word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son Gedaliah, the son of Amariah,
    the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

2    I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD.

3    I will consume man and beast;  I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea, and the
    stumblingblocks with the wicked;  and I will cut off man from off the land, saith the LORD.

4    I will also stretch out mine hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem;  and I will cut
    off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests;

5    And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops;  and them that worship and that swear
    by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham;

6    And them that are turned back from the LORD;  and those that have not sought the LORD, nor enquired for him.

7    Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lord GOD:  for the day of the LORD is at hand:  for the LORD hath
    prepared a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests.

8    And it shall come to pass in the day of the LORD'S sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the king's
    children, and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

9    In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with
    violence and deceit.

10    And it shall come to pass in the day, saith the LORD, that there shall be the noise of a cry from the fish gate,
    and an howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills.

11    Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant people are cut down;  all they that bear silver are cut off.

12    And it shall come to pass at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that
    are settled on their lees:  that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will he do evil.

13    Therefore their goods shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation:  they shall also build houses,
    but not inhabit them;  and they shall plant vineyards, but not drink the wine thereof.

14    The great day of the LORD is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the LORD: 
    the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

15    That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of
    darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness.

16    A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

17    And I will bring distress upon men that they shall walk like bind men, because they have  sinned against
    the LORD:  and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

18    Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath:  but the
    whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy:  for he shall make even a speedy riddance of
    all them that dwell in the land.

The Shins - Simple Song (live on KEXP)

 The Shins - Simple Song

Well this is just a simple song
To say what you done
I told you about all those fears
And away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun

When I was just nine years old
I swear that I dreamt
Your face on a football field
And a kiss that I kept
Under my vest
Apart from everything, but the heart in my chest

I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home!

My life in an upturned boat, marooned on a cliff
You brought me a great big flood
And you gave me a lift
To care, what a gift
You tell me with your tongue
And your breath was in my lungs
And you float over the rift

I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home!

Well this will be a simple song to say what you've done
I told you about all those fears and away they did run
You sure must be strong
And you feel like an ocean
Being warmed by the sun

Remember walking a mile to your house, a glow in the dark
I made a fumblin' play for your heart and the act struck a spark
You wore a charm in a chain that I stole especially for you
Love's such a delicate thing that we do, with nothing to prove
Which I never knew

Purple Reverb - People Live Here (Rise Against cover)

Purple Reverb - People Live Here 

 My god is better than yours
And the walls of my house
Are so thick I hear nothing at all
I followed you out in the storm
But it carried you off
And I burned every picture of yours
Was that not enough?
 

My gun is bigger than yours
So let's arm the masses
And see what the bastards do then
Walking tall once set us apart
Now we're down on all fours
Do you cry my name in the dark
Like I do yours?
 

These storms are getting stronger now
Trusses all bend and sway
Lightning hits, the power goes out in the fray
As the waves crash high
And the shoreline disappears
I will scream to the sky
"Hey, people live here!"
 

My dreams are not unlike yours
They long for the safety
And break like a glass chandelier
But there's laughter and oh there is love
Just past the edge of our fears
And there's chaos when push comes to shove
But it's music to my ears
 

May you be in heaven before the devil knows you're dead
May these winds be always at your back
'Cause when we're all just ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
We will look at the ashes
And say, "people lived here"
 

From the penthouse to the holy martyr
Sea to shining sea
From the coffins full of kindergarteners
Is this what you call free?
From the hate that drips from all your crosses
Are your hands so clean?
There's a wildfire and it's spreading far
From sea to shining sea
 

When we're all just ghosts
And the madness overtakes us
I will scream to the sky
Yeah, I'll scream to the sky
Yeah, I'll scream to the sky
"Hey, people live here!"

Anthony Vincent - Wheel

 Anthony Vincent - Wheel

You walked away, I assumed that I'd grow
Almost instantly scrolled to my doom
In the rooms I know 
Don't look up to see who is in the mirror
In the drift of days
Nothing can take hold

And I opened the door for the cold 

Oh, we are spinning on a wheel
Oh, falling through 
Another year, goodnight 
When I'll remedy the fear 
Oh, we are dying on a wheel 

Give me no sympathy when atrophy takes hold (long ago I sold)
Fighting loses its thunder when you create the foe
All I do is look down to see
What is their consensus on this version of me?
Long ago I sold 

Oh, back when I opened the door to the cold 

Oh, we are spinning on a wheel
Oh, falling through 
Another fear tonight 
When no remedy is clear 
Oh, we are dying on a wheel 

Dying on a wheel 
The mirror it knows how much I sold 

Don't look up to see who is in the mirror 
In the drift of days nothing can take hold 
Oh, back when I opened the door to the cold 

Oh, we are spinning on a wheel
Oh, falling through 
Another year, goodnight 
When I'll remedy the fear 
Oh, we are dying on a wheel 

Dying on a wheel 

Psalm 79 | Chr. Koor Jigdaljahu

L. Morée's 'Psalm 79' 

performed by Christian Choir Jigdaljahu conducted by Arjan Wouters at the de Grote Kerk den Haag, the Netherlands on April 6th 2026. 

 

Gedenk niet meer aan 't kwaad, dat wij bedreven;
Onz' euveldaad word' ons uit gunst vergeven;
Waak op, o God, en wil van verder lijden
Ons klein getal door Uwe kracht bevrijden.
Help ons, barmhartig HEER,
Uw groten naam ter eer;
Uw trouw koom' ons te stade;
Verzoen de zware schuld,
Die ons met schrik vervult;
Bewijs ons eens genade!

Zo zullen wij, de schapen Uwer weiden,
In eeuwigheid Uw lof, Uw eer verbreiden,
En zingen van geslachten tot geslachten
Uw trouw, Uw roem, Uw onverwinb're krachten.

Translation:
Do not remember any longer the evil we have done;
May our iniquity, in Your grace, be forgiven.
Arise, O God, and from continued suffering
Deliver our small number by Your power.
Help us, O merciful LORD,
For the honor of Your great Name;
Let Your faithfulness come to our aid;
Atone for the heavy guilt
That fills us with dread;
Show us Your mercy!

So we, the sheep of Your pasture,
Will proclaim Your praise and honor forever,
And sing from generation to generation
Of Your faithfulness, Your glory, and Your mighty power.
 

Young The Giant - Already There

 Young The Giant - Already There

Verse 1:
Your wants, your needs
Your fears, your dreams
It’s all I can think about
It’s been too long
The taste of you on my tongue
The shape of two as one all night

Chorus:
I’m already there
It’s not just a dream
You come as you are
You make me wanna scream and shout
All the words I never said until now
I’m already there (already, already there)

Verse 2: 
I miss your laugh
Naked in the bath
It’s all I can dream about
The days are long
I don’t know when I’ll be home
We’ll run away from the sun all night

Chorus:
I’m already there
It’s not just a dream
You come as you are
You make me want to scream and shout
All the words I never said until now
I’m already there (already, already there)

Bridge:
Already there
Already there
Already there

Chorus: 
I’m already there
It’s not just a dream
You come as you are
You make me want to scream and shout
All the words I never said until now
I’m already there (already, already there)

Olivia Rodrigo - You're So Vain (Carly Simon 2022 Induction)

 Olivia Rodrigo - You're So Vain 

You walked into the party like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror, as you watched yourself gavotte
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your partner
They'd be your partner and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain (you're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you?

You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
Well you said that we made such a pretty pair and that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and
You're so vain

You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (you're so vain)

I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you don't you?
I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee clouds in my coffee and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you

You're so vain (you're so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you?

Well I hear you went up to Saratoga
And your horse naturally won
Then you flew your lear jet up to Nova Scotia
To see the total eclipse of the sun

Well you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're with some underworld spy
Or the wife of a close friend wife of a close friend and

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain (so vain)
I bet you think this song is about you
Don't you don't you don't you?

You're so vain
You probably think this song is about you
You're so vain
Probably think this song about you
You're so vain

The Cure - Just Like Heaven

 The Cure - Just Like Heaven

 "Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream", she said
"The one that makes me laugh", she said
And threw her arms around my neck
Show me how you do it
And I promise you, I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you
Spinning on that dizzy edge
Kissed her face and kissed her head
Dreamed of all the different ways
I had to make her glow
"Why are you so far away?", she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you?"
You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream
You're just like a dream
Daylight licked me into shape
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone, alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You
Soft and lonely
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Olivia Rodrigo - drop dead

 Olivia Rodrigo - drop dead

I know that the bar closes at 11
I hope you never finish that beer
You know all the words to “Just Like Heaven”
And I know why he wrote them
Now that you’re standing right here

Ohh
One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It’s feminine intuition
‘Cuz I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alive I’ve ever been
But kiss me and I might drop dead

And I feel like I might throw up
Left hook, right punch to the gut
You’re so so pretty boy
I’m paranoid I made you up
Yeah I’d love it if you walked me home
If you promised we could go real slow
‘Cuz I got chewing gum
And a bunch of stuff I’d like to know
Like, have you ever been to Japan?
Or taken that Eurostar to France?
I’ve been dropping hints all night
That I’d love it if you held my hand, goddamn
And then maybe we could make-makeout
Clothes off and fall to the ground
Let’s go steady
Let’s go out
And tell the whole damn world how

One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It’s feminine intuition
‘Cuz I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alive I’ve ever been
But kiss me and I might

Pisces and a Gemini
But I think we might go really nice together
If you let me stay the night
Well I think I might just have to stay forever

Pisces and a Gemini
But I think we might go really nice together
If you let me stay the night
Well I think I might just have to stay forever

Ohh
One night I was bored in bed
And stalked you on the internet
It’s feminine intuition
‘Cuz I always had a vision of us standing like this
All pressed up in the bathroom line
You’re looking like an angel on the walls of Versailles
The most alive I’ve ever been
But kiss me and I might
Kiss me and I might
Kiss me and I might drop dead

The Head And The Heart - Down In The Valley (original 2009 Demo - unreleased video)

 The Head And The Heart - Down In The Valley

I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Like ridin' around on railcars and workin' long days

Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

Call it one drink too many
Call it pride of a man
But it don't make no difference if you sit or you stand

'Cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin
Yeah they both end in trouble and start with a grin

We do it over and over and over again
We do it over and over and over again

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

I know there's California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go

I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
[Continue in background]

One more for the stars and their eyes in the walls
I hail your face and then I saw you standing out

I saw your face in the crowd and you came out
You saw me crossing the valley and you came in

Look at the sign on the door and it reads to me
Just like the grass and the sign when you walked in

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh

I am on my way
I am on my way
I am on my way back to where I started

California, Oklahoma
And all of the places I ain't ever been to but
Down in the valley with
Whiskey rivers
These are the places you will find me hidin'
These are the places I will always go
These are the places I will always go

So I wish I was a slave to an age-old trade
Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways

1    BEHOLD, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.

2    For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle;  and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled,
    and the women ravished;  and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall
    not be cut off from the city.

3    Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.

4    And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the 
    mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a 
    very great valley;  and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5    And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains;  for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal:  yea, ye shall
    flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah:  and the LORD my God shall
    come, and all the saints with thee.

6    And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:

7    But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night:  but it shall come to pass,
    that at evening time it shall be light.

8    And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem;  half of them toward the former sea, 
    and half of them toward the hinder sea:  in summer and in winter shall it be.

9    And the LORD shall be king over all the earth:  in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

10    All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem:  and it shall be lifted up,
    and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate,
    and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.

11    And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction;  but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.

12    And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem;
    Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
    and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

13    And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them;  and they shall lay hold
    every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

14    And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem;  and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together,
    gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance.

15    And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be
    in these tents, as this plague.

16    And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up
    from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

17    And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King,
    the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.

18    And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;  there shall be the plague, wherewith
    the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

19    This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast
    of tabernacles.

20    In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD;  and the pots in the
    LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

21     Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts:  and all they that
    sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein:  and in that day there shall be no more the 
    Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

José González - A Perfect Storm

 José González - A Perfect Storm

Forces from the sidelines
Pushing for a race against time
Tempting us to deplete, only to
Face a certain defeat

Hey now! It’s not random
If we’re the ones to cause the storm

It’s a numbers game
Ignoring all the combined tail end risks

Gambling with our common fate
To quench the thirst of a few
No time for the masses
To be informed, to have say
Got to win the race, just win this race
A race to lose control

Intentions don’t matter much
As the dominos start to fall

Hey now! It’s not random
When we’re the ones to cause the storm

Hey! It’s not random
If we rise, just to peak and fall

Hey now! It’s not random
It’s still within our own control

Hey now! It’s not random
When we’re the ones to unleash a perfect storm

 AVRIL LAVIGNE - Ironic

Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery, and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, "Well, isn't this nice?"

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

It's a traffic jam when you're already late
A "No smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

And isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

And yeah, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Banners - Perfectly Broken

 Banners - Perfectly Broken

I’m back at the start falling apart in the old ways
I wish I was flawless I’m not
Was fading away but everything fell into place
When you told me your name

Two halves of a heart hardly beating alone
But now that I’ve found you I’m not letting go

Fall into me everyone's broken and I got this missing piece
Honestly you fit me like no-one you’re perfectly broken for me

You’ve been in the dark believing your thoughts
When they tell you you’re anything less than you are
But that’s just not true cos all of the scars
And the bruises they’re what make you human

We didn’t need fixing all of this time
Cos all of your edges fit right into mine

Fall into me everyone's broken and I got this missing piece
Honestly you fit me like no-one you’re perfectly broken for me

 Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching

He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper

Goes to visit his mommy
She feeds him well his concerns
He forgets them
And remembers being small
Playing under the table and dreaming

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Driving in on this highway
All these cars and upon the sidewalk
People in every direction
No words exchanged
No time to exchange

And all the little ants are marching
Red and black antennas waving
They all do it the same
They all do it the same way

Candyman tempting the thoughts of a
Sweet tooth tortured by the weight loss
Program cutting the corners
Loose end, loose end, cut, cut
On the fence, could not to offend
Cut, cut, cut, cut

Take these chances
Place them in a box until a quieter time
Lights down, you up and die

Second Timothy Chapter Four


1    I CHARGE thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead
    at his appearing and his kingdom;

2    Preach the word;  be instant in season, out of season;  reprove, rebuke, exhort with all 
    longsuffering and doctrine.

3    For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;  but after their own lusts shall 
    they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

4    And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

5    But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof
    of thy ministry.

6    For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.

7    I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 

8    Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, 
    shall give me at that day:  and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

9    Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:

10    For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica;
    Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.

11    Only Luke is with me.  Take Mark, and bring him with thee:  for he is profitable to me for the ministry.

12    And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus.

13    The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books,
    but especially the parchments.

14    Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil:  the Lord reward him according to his works.

15    Of whom be thou ware also;  for he hath greatly withstood our words.

16    At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me:  I pray God that it may not be laid
    to their charge.

17    Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me;  that by me the preaching might 
    be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear:  and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

18    And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom:  
    to whom be glory for ever and ever.  Amen.

19    Salute Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus,

20    Erastus abode at Corinth:  but Trophimus have I left at Miletum sick.

21    Do thy diligence to come before winter.  Eubulus greeteth thee and Pudens, and Linus, and Claudia,
    and all the brethren.

22    The Lord Jesus Christ be with thy spirit.  Grace be with you.  Amen.

Placebo - This Picture

 Placebo - This Picture

 [Intro]
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Of cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

[Verse 1]
Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's fated
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's fated
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

[Verse 2]
Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's fated
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's fated
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

[Bridge]
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

[Chorus]
Sometimes it's fated
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it's fated
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

[Outro]
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
