The Narrative - The Moment That it Stops

The Narrative - The Moment That it Stops 

Lazy days
You're the only thing they waste away.
You're so afraid
Of all the problems we've been faking.
And You were wondering where I've gone
When you want me to make your heart sing.
The boys are slowly chasing on
But they can't guarantee the whole thing.
 

And when you cry,
The eyeliner will slip beneath your eyes
To catch your breath.
Brush off your cheek,
Still aching as your hands whip at your sides,
Caress your dress.
 

Daring words
Do you believe that I've been stealing time?
And all that hurts
Will only fade as the days fly
And then you'll open up your arms,
And you'll be sent directly in, dear.
Free from the heartache of his harm,
When we're the only one's who'll be here.
 

And when you cry,
The eyeliner will slip beneath your eyes
To catch your breath.
Brush off your cheek
Still aching as your hands whip at your sides;
Oh I like your dress.
 

I think a change is what I need.
I thought you needed someone you knew you could trust entirely.
I've always been fine on my own.
I thought that you were growing tired of always feeling alone.
These days drag on; I'm losing faith.
You said we'd work it out together but you're pushing me away.
Well I'm here but I fear my heart is not.
You said your heart would follow me until the moment that it stops
The moment that it stops
The moment that it stops
The moment that it stops
You should have known
With all the things I crowded in your mind
I'd leave you a mess

Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Want to Be

 Gavin DeGraw - I Don't Want to Be

 [Verse 1]
I don't need to be anything other
Than a prison guard's son
I don't need to be anything other
Than a specialist's son
I don't have to be anyone other
Than a birth of two souls in one

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Part of where I'm going
Is knowing where I'm coming from

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be
Anything other than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me, and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me

[Verse 2]
I'm surrounded by liars
Everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by imposters
Everywhere I turn
I'm surrounded by identity crisis
Everywhere I turn

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am I the only one who noticed?
I can't be the only one who's learned

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be
Anything other than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me, and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me, ah

[Bridge]
Can I have everyone's attention please?
If you're not like this and that
You're gonna have to leave
I came from the mountain
The crust of creation
My whole situation made from clay to stone
And now I'm telling everybody

[Chorus]
I don't wanna be
Anything other than what I've been tryna be lately
All I have to do is think of me, and I have peace of mind
I'm tired of looking 'round rooms
Wondering what I've gotta do
Or who I'm supposed to be
I don't wanna be anything other than me

[Outro]
I don't wanna be, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
I don't wanna be, oh-oh
I don't wanna be
I don't wanna be anything
Anything other than me
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be (Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah) I don't wanna be

The War On Drugs - Holding On (live on KCRW)

 The War On Drugs - Holding On

Once I was alive and I could feel
I was holding on to you
And I redefined the way I looked at dawn inside of you
I went down a crooked highway
I went all outside the line
I've been rejected, now the light has turned and I'm out of time
Ain't no way I'm gonna last
Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past
Feel like I'm about to crash
Riding on my line, keep keeping on
Once we were apart and I could see red
Never trying to turn back time
Never meant to bring my pain to the front and into your life
Now I'm headed down a different road
Can we walk it side by side?
Is an old memory just another way of saying goodbye?
Ain't no way I'm gonna last
Hiding in the seams, I can't move the past
Feel like I'm about to crash
Riding the same line, I keep keeping on
I ain't never going to change
He'll never get in line
I keep moving on the path, yeah
Holding on to mine
When you talk about the past
What are we talking of?
Did I let go too fast?
Was I holding on too long?
Ain't no truths from the past
As silent as the sea
Am I holding on too long?
But you're right in front of me
And I'm moving on a cast
Shadows on my seam
I keep moving to changes, yeah
Ooh
Heart or hope
Heart or hope
Heart or hope
Heart or hope

Kiefer Sutherland - Goodbye California (live with BBC Orchestra - Piano Room 2025)

 Kiefer Sutherland - Goodbye California

Goodbye California, my fair-weather home
I’m heading through these canyons all alone
I’ve got my memories packed away, nothing left behind
A couple hundred stories on my mind

Sunkissed diamonds dance on the sea
Waves hit the sand, crash into me
As I turn around to leave

Goodbye California, I’m rolling on
Just a few more miles and I’ll be gone
Headed back to where I belong

Goodbye California, goodbye my old friend
I always knew that one day this would end
You took me in when I was a boy
But now I’ve got to go
Hit the gas, turn up that radio

Sunkissed diamonds dance on the sea
The palm trees wave goodbye in the breeze
As I turn around to leave

Goodbye California, I’m rolling on
Just a few more miles and I’ll be gone
Headed back to where I come from
Headed back to where I belong

Drinking down at the Starlight
The nights wouldn’t end
I raise a glass to all my ‘closest friends’
Goodbye California, it’s time for me to go
Hit the gas, turn up that radio

Sunkissed diamonds dance on the sea
Waves hit the sand, crash into me
As I turn around to leave

Goodbye California, I’m rolling on
Just a few more miles and I’ll be gone
Headed back to where I belong

Goodbye California, I’m rolling on
Just a few more miles and I’ll be gone
Headed back to where I come from
Headed back to where I belong

Emerson Day - This House Won't Fall

 Emerson Day - This House Won't Fall

One stone at a time You’ve been
Building up my testimony
Adding brick and mortar to my faith
So when the wind and rain come
Raging, pouring, beating up on me
I’ve got something that won’t break

This house got good bones
A foundation it’s built upon
It’s standing on the rock
It’s trust in God
His word the cornerstone
This house got good bones
I don’t worry when the storm comes
Wind shaking off the rafters
It don’t matter to me at all
This house won’t fall

When the enemy comes all puffed up
Trying to blow this thing down
I’ll stand here firm on Your word
Not all other ground
You’re the one I’m trusting cause You proved it
In the eye of the storm
Christ forever is the solid rock I’m standing on

This house got good bones
A foundation it’s built upon
It’s standing on the rock
It’s trust in God
His word the cornerstone
This house got good bones
I don’t worry when the storm comes
Wind shaking off the rafters
It don’t matter to me at all
This house won’t fall
No this house won’t fall

When the flood waters rise
And keep getting higher
Trying to wash it away
When the thunder rolls
One thing I know 
This house is here to stay

It’s got good bones
A foundation it’s built upon
It’s standing on the rock
It’s trust in God
His word the cornerstone
This house got good bones
I don’t worry when the storm comes
Wind shaking off the rafters
It don’t matter to me at all
This house won’t fall
No, no
This house won’t fall

Joshua Radin - Brand New Day

 Joshua Radin - Brand New Day

Some kind of magic
Happens late at night
When the moon smiles down at me
And bathes me in its light

I fell asleep beneath you
In the tall blades of grass
When I woke the world was new
I never had to ask

It's a brand new day
The sun is shining
It's a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know, I'll be ok

Most kind of stories
Save the best part for last
And most stories have a hero who finds
You make your past your past
Yeah you make your past your past

It's a brand new day
The sun is shining
It's a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know, I'll be ok

This cycle never ends
You gotta fall in order to mend

It's a brand new day
It's a brand new day
For the first time in such a long long time
I know, I'll be ok

Caamp - Feels Like Home

 Caamp - Feels Like Home

There’s something in my heart  
And it feels like fire 
There's a yearnin’ in the river 
and it feels like home. 
Take me down, take me down to the water 
I need time 
Give me time 
 
The old Shenandoah gonna keep me right 
And hold me like I was forgiven  
Take me down, and let the beachwood light 
I need time  
Give me time 
 
Oohh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh  
 
Tellin myself to keep good faith 
There ain’t much these days to celebrate 
Pullin’ my hoodie over my face 
I need time  
Give me time 
 
Oohh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh  

Take my name when I'm dead and gone 
And throw my ashes in the river 
Know that I lived my whole life long  
And gave all the love that I could’ve given  
 
Oohh ooh ooh 
Ooh ooh ooh

Hollow Coves - See You Soon

 Hollow Coves - See You Soon

I wish that we could go back in time 
To those days that made us who we are 
But I know you had to go and live your life 
And I also had to go and live mine  

So I’ll call you up my friend 
Cause I miss what we had then 
You say you’re doing fine 
But you also miss those times 

I wish that we could go back in time 
Home videos remind why 
Dancing in the kitchen all night 
Until the break of morning light  

So I’ll call you up my friend 
Cause I miss what we had then 
You say you’re doing fine 
But you also miss those times

James Chapter Five

1    Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

2    Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

3    Your gold and silver is cankered;  and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh
    as it were fire.  Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

4    Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud,
    crieth:  and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

5    Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton;  ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

6    Ye have condemned and killed the just;  and he doth not resist you.

7    Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.  Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious
    fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

8    Be ye also patient;  stablish your hearts:  for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

9    Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned:  behold, the judge standeth before the door.

10    Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering
    affliction, and of patience.

11    Behold, we count them happy which endure.  Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end
    of the Lord;  that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

12    But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath:
    but let your yea be yea;  and your nay, nay;  lest ye fall into condemnation.

13    Is any among you afflicted?  let him pray.  Is any merry?  let him sing psalms.

14    Is any sick among you?  let him call for the elders of the church;  and let them pray over him, annointing him
    with oil in the name of the Lord:

15    And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;  and if he have committed sins,
    they shall be forgiven him.

16    Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent prayer 
    of a righteous man availeth much.

17    Elias was man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain:  and it rained
    not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

18    And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

19    Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him:

20    Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death,
    and shall hide a multitude of sins.

    James Chapter Five - KJV

Zephaniah Chapter Two

1    GATHER yourselves together, yea, gather together, O nation not desired;

2    Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of the LORD come upon
    you, before the day of the LORD'S anger come upon you.

3    Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment;  seek righteousness, seek meekness:
    it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.


4    For Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation:  they shall drive out Ashdod at the noon day, and
    Ekron shall be rooted up. 

5    Woe unto the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites!  the word of the LORD is against you;
    O Canaan, the land of the Philistines, I will even destroy thee, that there shall be no inhabitant.

6    And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages for shepherds, and folds for flocks.

7    And the coast shall be for the remnant of the house of Judah;  they shall feed thereupon:  in the houses 
    of Ashkelon shall they lie down in the evening:  for the LORD their God shall visit  them and turn away their captivity.


8    I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon, whereby they have reproached my
    people, and magnified themselves against their border,

9    Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel,  Surely Moab shall be as Sodom, and the children
    of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and saltpits, and a perpetual desolation:  the residue
    of my people shall spoil them, and the remnant of my people shall possess them.

10    This shall they have for their pride, because they have reproached and magnified themselves against the people
    of the LORD of hosts,

11    The LORD will be terrible unto them:  for he will famish all the gods of the earth;  and men shall worship him, 
    every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.


12    Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.

13    And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria;  and will make Nineveh a desolation,
    and dry like a wilderness.

14    And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations:  both the cormorant and the bittern
    shall lodge in the upper lintels of it;  their voice shall sing in the windows;  desolation shall be in the thresholds:
    for he shall uncover the cedar work,

15    This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I am, an there is none beside me:  how is she
    become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in!  every one that passeth by her shall hiss, and wag his hand.

Marty Liñan - The One That You Love (Air Supply) (Tawag ng Tanghalan)

  Marty Liñan - The One That You Love

[Verse 1]
Now the night has gone
Now the night has gone away
Doesn't seem that long
We hardly had two words to say
Hold me in your arms for just another day
I promise this one will go slow
Oh, we have the right you know
We have the right you know

[Verse 2]
Don't say the morning's come
Don't say the morning's come so soon
Must we end this way
When so much here is hard to lose
Love is everywhere, I know it is
Such moments as this are too few
Oh, it's all up to you
It's all up to you

[Chorus]
Here I am, the one that you love
Asking for another day
Understand, the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways

[Verse 3]
Tell me we can stay
Tell me we can stay, oh please
They are the words to say
The only words I can believe
Hold me in your arms for just another day
I promise this one will go slow
Oh, we have the right you know
We have the right you know

[Chorus]
Here I am, the one that you love
Asking for another day
Understand, the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
Here I am, the one that you love
Asking for another day
Understand, the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways

[Bridge]
The night has gone, a part of yesterday
I don't know what to say
I don't know what to say

[Chorus]
Here I am, the one that you love
Asking for another day
Understand, the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways
Here I am, the one that you love
Asking for another day
Understand, the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways


[Outro]
Here I am, the one that you love
Asking for another day
Understand, the one that you love
Loves you in so many ways

KONGOS - Come with Me Now

KONGOS - Come with Me Now 

Come with me now
Come with me now

Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna take you down
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna show you how
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna take you down
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna show you how

Afraid to lose control
And caught up in this world
I've wasted time, I've wasted breath
I think I've thought myself to death
I was born without this fear
Now only this seems clear
I need to move, I need to fight
I need to lose myself tonight

Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna take you down
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna show you how

I think with my heart and I move with my head
I open my mouth and it's something I've read
I stood at this door before, I'm told
But a part of me knows that I'm growing too old
Confused what I thought with something I felt
Confuse what I feel with something that's real
I tried to sell my soul last night
Funny, he wouldn't even take a bite

Far away
I heard him say (Come with me now)
Don't delay
I heard him say (Come with me now)
Far away
I heard him say (Come with me now)
Don't delay
I heard him say (Come with me now)

Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna take you down
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna show you how

[Guitar Solo]

Afraid to lose control
And caught up in this world
I've wasted time, I've wasted breath
I think I've thought myself to death
I was born without this fear
Now only this seems clear
I need to move, I need to fight
I need to lose myself tonight

Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna take you down
Whoa, come with me now
I'm gonna show you how

Howie Day - Collide

 Howie Day - Collide

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

But I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
Well, I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind

Cold War Kids - Push My Luck

 Cold War Kids - Push My Luck

Sorry, can't talk, it's a bad time
I been out of the game, on the sideline
I need to be alone, how can I find
A little motivation back in my mind?
'Cause I was on top, had the whole pie
You tossed me the keys for a joyride
I was homecoming king by a landslide
I was a good guy

Always have to push my luck
Until the moment I break
If there's a love then I'll chase it
If there's a love then I
Always have to ask for more
I got a dream I can't shake
I got a feeling I'll make it
I got a feeling

I'm either busting at the seams, or I'm broke down
Either dead serious or a joke now
Telling me the end is near like I can leave town
But I'm not dressing up for a letdown
I need a reason I should wake up tomorrow
Before I settle, I will beg, steal, and borrow
Losing hope is a bitter pill to swallow
My heart was hollow

Always have to push my luck
Until the moment I break
If there's a love then I'll chase it
If there's a love then I
Always have to ask for more
I got a dream I can't shake
I got a feeling I'll make it
I got a feeling

Never good enough, look what they got
I just need a taste, one more shot
We'll call it a day, it's a blind spot

Always have to push my luck
Until the moment I break
If there's a love then I'll chase it
If there's a love then I
Always have to ask for more
I got a dream I can't shake
I got a feeling I'll make it
I got a feeling I'll, feeling I, feeling I, feeling I

There's a love that I'll chase
There's a love


    

Will Swinton - Better Off

Will Swinton - Better Off 

Can we lie here for a moment?
Let the silence, consume us
In the darkness, I see you
But there's another, that you're sweet to
And it's been a while, since I felt you
Did you feel like a liar when he held you?
And baby, I'm sorry
I feel so selfish
For wanting to want you
I just couldn't help it, no
 
Don't want you to hurt anymore
It's tearing you apart just to hold me
And I don't wanna lay here alone 
But you're better off with him and I know it
 
Does he love you like you need it?
Does he touch you like he means it?
You tell me it's over, like I’ll believe it 
You say you need closure, so we go and repeat it 
Then you run back to him
And you lie through your teeth 
Cause you say it's forever, when you're thinking of me 
And I know you've been searching, for something I was 
But you pull back the curtain to the man I've become
(wooooah)
 
I don't want you to hurt anymore 
But it's tearing you apart just to hold me 
And I don't wanna lay here alone 
But you're better off with him and I know it
I wish I could've gave you enough
And been everything that you ever wanted
But maybe I should lay here alone 
Cause you're better off with him and I know it
 
I’m still reminded
It’s never enough
I need you beside me
I can’t give you up
It’s too hard to fight it
I’m too hard to love
So you’re better off
 
I don't want you to hurt anymore
But it's tearing you apart just to hold me
And I don't wanna lay here alone 
But you're better off with him and I know it

The Proclaimers - I'm on My Way (live in Leith)

 The Proclaimers - I'm on My Way

I'm on my way
 From misery to happiness today
 I'm on my way
 From misery to happiness today

I'm on my way to what I want from this world
 And years from now you'll make it to the next world
 And everything that you receive up yonder
 Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I took a right
 I took a right turning yesterday
 I took a right
 I took a right turning yesterday

I took the road that brought me to your home town
 I took the bus to streets that I could walk down
 I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for
 I climbed the stair that led me to your front door

And now that I don't want
 For anything
 I'd have Al Jolson sing
 "I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'll do my best
 I'll do my best to do the best I can
 I'll do my best
 I'll do my best to do the best I can

To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear
 To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear
 To keep the past, the past and not the present
 To try and learn when you teach me a lesson

And now that I don't want
 For anything
 I'd have Al Jolson sing
 "I'm sitting on top of the world"

I'm on my way
 From misery to happiness today
 I'm on my way
 From misery to happiness today

I'm on my way to what I want from this world
 And years from now you'll make it to the next world
 And everything that you receive up yonder
 Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I'm on my way to what I want from this world
 And years from now you'll make it to the next world
 And everything that you receive up yonder
 Is what you gave to me the day I wandered

I'm on my way
 I'm on my way
 I'm on my way

And every lock that ain't locked

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

Now how many days in a year
She woke up with hope
But she only found tears
And I can be so insincere
Making her promises never for real
As long as she stands there waiting
Wearing the holes in the soles of her shoes
Now how many days disappear
When you look in the mirror
So how do you choose

Your clothes never wear as well the next day
And your hair never falls in quite the same way
You never seem to run out of things to say

This is the story of a girl
Who cried a river and drowned the whole world
And while she looked so sad in photographs
I absolutely love her
When she smiles

I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Leave Me Alone

I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME - Leave Me Alone 

Big shot, so what? Do you wanna pretend?
You took the money, but the money couldn't buy a friend

Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't
Oh, you're a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

Blind spot, take your best shot, lucky me
Go fly a kite until you're tangled in the hanging tree

Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't
Oh, you're a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

Four in the morning but we're having such a lovely time
Mad as a hatter with a dagger and a dollar sign
Aristocrat, tip your hat and break your mother's heart
And when the sun comes up you'll find a brand new god
(Hey, come on)
(A brand new god)
(Oh, oh)

Now I want you to leave me alone
They say the devil that you know is better than the devil that you don't
Oh, you're a big shot here but nobody else knows
Now I want you to leave me alone

Balu Brigada - What Do We Ever Really Know?

 Balu Brigada - What Do We Ever Really Know?

Where the birds and the bees and the flowers grow
There’s a snake in the grass so we play in the snow
There’s a sun in the sky beaming down on your head
Put your hands to the side and you hope for the best

Ali made a score
Made a milli, wanted more
Bought a house in St. Tropez
Heard a knock upon his door
What did he ever really know?
What do we ever really know?

Pretty girl a teenage dream
Made a wife at 17
Made a movie made a scene
And had a rude awakening
What did she ever really know?
What did she ever really know?

What do we ever really know my dear
If the world stopped spinning again
Then i don’t care
If the globe is frozen by October
Be my baby till it’s over

Used to listen for the call
Saying ‘you could have it all’
Try to be the number 1
And then you question what it’s for
What do we ever really know
What do we ever really know

What do we ever really know my dear
If the world stopped spinning again
Then i no no no no I don’t care
If the globe is frozen by October
B-b-be my baby, be my baby now

All we ever know
Is that we never know
All we ever know
Is that we never know

Every single day is a tidal wave
Call it growing pains
Maybe i’m the worst
Maybe i’m ok
Just an animal just an animal just an ani

 beabadoobee - If You Want To

 [Verse 1]
If you wanna take me
Go ahead and try my head
Experience is nothing compared to
The sleep paralysis in my bed
If you wanna love me
Try to get inside my brain
Experience is nothing compared to
The nights I'm always up so late

[Pre-Chorus]
Bed bugs in my mind
Keep them all alive
Insomnia creeps at night
Sleep paralysis till I die
Die

[Chorus]
'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to

[Post-Chorus]
If you wanted to
If you try to

[Verse 2]
Wishing I still had my dreams
Late night started, take up space
'Cause every time I try to remember
Lack of sleep takes half my brain

[Pre-Chorus]
Bed bugs in my mind
Keep them all alive
Insomnia creeps at night
Sleep paralysis till I die
Die

[Chorus]
'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to
Use some pesticides and throw it in my brain
If you want to, only if you want to
Bed bugs keep me up at night and I'm going insane
If they try to, only if they try to

[Post-Chorus]
If you wanted to
If you try to


[Chorus]
'Cause if you want, you could stay with me in my bed
If you want to, only if you want to
If you want, you could go ahead and fix my head
If you want to, only if you want to
Use some pesticides and throw it in my brain
If you want to, only if you want to
Bed bugs keep me up at night and I'm going insane
If they try to, only if they try to

P.O.D. - Going in Blind

   P.O.D. - Going in Blind

 

 One Day, Some Day

This life's not like you wanted it.
His eyes I can see again, I need you here.
In your mind, nobody's listening.
It's alright not to feel again, just breathe again.

Time after time, I walk the fine line.
Something keeps bringing me back.
And time after time, I'm going in blind.
I don't know which way I need to go.

Feels like your world is caving in.
And I cry, failing to understand, I wish I can.
It's alright if your missing him.
In His eyes you can live again, free within.

Time after time, I walk the fine line.
Something keeps bringing me back.
And time after time, I'm going in blind.
I don't know which way I need to go.

Time after time, I walk the fine line.
Something keeps bringing me back.
But time after time, I can't see the signs.
I don't know which way I need to go.

Do all these roads lead me back to you?
(Count on Nothing)
I don't know which way I need to go.
(Count on Nothing)
Do all these roads lead me back to you?
(Count on Nothing)
I don't know which way I need to go.

One Day, Some Day.

Time after time, I walk the fine line.
Something keeps bringing me back.
And time after time, I'm going in blind.
I don't know which way I need to go.

Time after time, I walk the fine line.
Something keeps bringing me back.
And time after time, I can't see the signs.
Do all these roads lead me back to you?
And time after time.
Do all these roads lead me back to you?

One Day.

Avalanche City - Love Love Love

 Avalanche City - Love Love Love

Girl, I say, if only life would lean our way,
Well, you and me, we'd run away to be wherever our adventure waits,
And time would be a distant memory, nobody could tell us to stay,
Well, I've been dreaming ever since I've seen you
Heaven when you came my way.

I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love

Oh, it's seems awfully far for us to find at all,
All these years will wash away and we'll be clean but we'll have nothing more,
Well I can't say there'll come another day where money and our time affords,
On our hands, our wrinkles understand we never really wanted more.

I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love

And all the life about to go is in my mind,
Cause all the loudest voices in the world are never right

I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love
I heard your heart say love, love, love

Wo-oh-ooh, love, love, love
Wo-oh-ooh, love, love, love
Wo-oh-ooh, love, love, love

Our Lady Peace - 4 AM

 Our Lady Peace - 4 AM

I walked around my good intentions
And found that there were none
I blame my father for the wasted years, we hardly talked
I never thought I would forget this hate

Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong
And if I don't make it known that I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that we ignore
Because we're all dumb and jaded
And, and I hope to God I figure out what's wrong

I walked around my room not thinking
Just sinking in this box
I blame myself for being too much, like somebody else
I never thought I would just bend this way

Then a phone call made me realize I'm wrong
And if I don't make it known that I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that we ignore
Because we're all dumb and jaded
And, and I hope to God I figure out what's wrong

{Kickass Guitar solo}

And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong
And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong

If I don't make it known that I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that we ignore
Because we're all dumb and jaded
And I hope to God I figure out what's wrong

And if I don't make it known that I've loved you all along
Just like sunny days that we ignore
Because we're all dumb and jaded
And, and I hope to God I figure out

Imagine Dragons - I Bet My Life

Imagine Dragons - I Bet My Life 

I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I know I let you down, didn't I?
So many sleepless nights where you were waiting up on me
Well I'm just a slave unto the night
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I've been around the world and never in my wildest dreams
Would I come running home to you
I've told a million lies but now I tell a single truth
There's you in everything I do
Now remember when I told you that's the last you'll see of me
Remember when I broke you down to tears
I know I took the path that you would never want for me
I gave you hell through all the years
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
Don't tell me that I'm wrong
I've walked that road before
And left you on your own
And please believe them when they say
That it's left for yesterday
And the records that I've played
Please forgive me for all I've done
So I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my life, I bet my life
I bet my life for you
I, I bet my, I bet my, I bet my
I, I bet my, I bet my, I bet my

First Aid Kit - Silver Lining

First Aid Kit - Silver Lining 

[Verse 1]
I don't want to wait anymore
I'm tired of looking for answers
Take me some place where there's music and there's laughter
I don't know if I'm scared of dying
But I'm scared of living too fast, too slow
Regret, remorse, hold on, oh no I've got to go
There’s no starting over
No new beginnings time races on
And you've just gotta keep on keeping on
Gotta keep on going
Looking straight out on the road
Can't worry 'bout what's behind you
Or what's coming for you further up the road
I try not to hold on to what is gone
I try to do right what is wrong
I try to keep on keeping on
Yeah, I just keep on keeping on
[Chorus]
I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Oh-oh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Oh-oh

[Verse 2]
I've woken up in a hotel room
My worries as big as the moon
Having no idea who or what or where I am
Something good comes with the bad
A song's never just sad
There's hope, there's a silver lining
Show me my silver lining
Show me my silver lining

[Chorus]
I hear a voice calling
Calling out for me
These shackles I've made in an attempt to be free
Be it for reason, be it for love
I won't take the easy road
I won't take the easy road
The easy road, the easy road, oh-oh!
I won't take the easy road
The easy road, the easy road, oh-oh!
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Oh-oh
Ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo
Oh-oh

[Breakdown]
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on
Show me my silver lining, I try to keep on keeping on

Marc Scibilia - By Your Side

 Marc Scibilia - By Your Side

I have walked the streets of London, I got lost in Grand Junction
I have stayed awake for days, too many nights
And the bartenders are friendly 'til the last barstools are empty
And then the only place I wanna hide
Is by your side
By your side
You're the only place that I'll ever belong
By your side
You're the end of every road I travel on
'Til I'm old, 'til I die
Honey, home's wherever I lie, li-lie, lie, li-lie
By your side
I went back upstate to pack up the last box of my old stuff
And I thought that I might find a piece of me
But all I found were new ways of talking 'bout the old days
Don't know much, but know I'd rather be
By your side
By your side
You're the only place that I'll ever belong
By your side
You're the end of every road I travel on
'Til I'm old, 'til I die
Honey, home's wherever I lie, li-lie, lie, li-lie
By your side
Ooh
By your side
Ooh
By your side
You're the only place that I'll ever belong
By your side
You're the end of every road I travel on
'Til I'm old, 'til I die
Honey, home's wherever I lie, li-lie, lie, li-lie
By your side
'Til I'm old, 'til I die
Honey, home's wherever I lie, li-lie, lie, li-lie
By your side

James Chapter Four

1    FROM whence come wars and fightings among you?  come they not hence, even of your lusts that war
    in your members?

2    Ye lust, and have not:  ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain:  ye fight and war, yet ye have not,
    because ye ask not.

3    Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.

4    Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God?  whosoever
    therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

5    Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?

6    But he giveth more grace.  Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

7    Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

8    Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.  Cleanse your hands, ye sinners;  and purify your hearts,
    ye double minded.

9    Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep:  let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.

10    Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

11    Speak not evil one of another, brethren.  He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother,
    speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law:  but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12    There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy:  who art thou that judgest another?

13    Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy
    and sell, and get gain:

14    Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow.  For what is your life?  It is even a vapour, that appeareth
    for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

15    For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

16    But now ye rejoice in your boastings:  all such rejoicing is evil.

17    Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

    James Chapter Four - KJV

Zephaniah Chapter One

1    THE word of the LORD which came unto Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of 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 of 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 a 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 that 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 blind 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 Paradox - It's Over - Des Moines, Iowa 10/29/25

 The Paradox - It's Over

 [Verse: Eric Dangerfield]
No direction, deep depression
Think I need some decompression
Why'd she have to break me down?
Turn my brain around until I
Let go, forget, all my regrets
Like going out together
Young love can't last forever

[Chorus: Eric Dangerfield]
It's over, it's over now
I hope we can be friends
But I'm on my own again
It's over, it's over now
I'll never find a love like this, but it's over now

 Hillary Duff - I Can't Wait

How it happens
I don't care
If it's rainin'
Or what I wear
I know today is taking me
Where I'm meant to be
Doesn't matter where I go
With my bowling shoes
And my rock star phone
I'm waiting for a friend to call
Or the rain to fall

Life goes by
Who knows why

[Chorus:]
I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to be happening
Ooh, What's it gonna take

I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun
I can't wait (I can't wait) [LAUGH]

Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Bum bum bum
Yeah

Everybody has their day
Where things just seem
To go their way
An angel's gonna
Smile on me
When it's meant to be
'Cause anything is possible
No matter how incredible
You never know who I might meet
On this crowded street

Life goes on
Like a song

I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to be happening
Ooh, what's it gonna take

I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun
I can't wait

I haven't got forever
And I haven't got all day
Oooh, I don't want my world to stay the same
So where's a magic moment
To carry me away

I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to be happening
Ooh, what's it gonna take

I can't wait for the time to come
When I'll be shining like the sun
I can't wait

I can't wait for the world to spin
I can't wait to be happening
I can't wait


The Broken View - Need A Friend (Acoustic Music Video)

 The Broken View - Need A Friend

 I don't wanna hurt you
But every time I lie awake
Your silence is a virtue
That I can't seem to shake
That's my kinda woman
And baby, it's a crying shame
Is it even worth it?
I'd ask myself the same
You're losing all your sleep tonight
For one more desperate hour of time
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
You said it once, you'll say it again
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
It ain't enough and I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend
And waiting is the hard part
To get a sense of how you feel
It's a matter of a fool's heart
To believe it's something real
My thoughts are true
My heart is on my sleeve
What else can I do?
You brought me to my f---ing knees
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
You said it once, you'll say it again
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
It ain't enough and I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend
I ain't in love, no, I ain't in love
But I need a friend
Ho, ho, oh-oh, oh-oh
"Pick up the phone
And let's get out of here
You don't wanna be alone"
This is what you've been dying to hear
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
You said it once, you'll say it again
I ain't in love, but I need a friend
Called me up and said
"I wanna be somewhere close to you, but not too close"
It ain't enough and I can't pretend
That I ain't in love, but I need a friend, oh
I ain't in love, no, I ain't in love
I ain't in love, but I need a friend

Zambra - Winter Charm of Lasting Life (a traditional Scottish folk song)

 Zambra - Winter Charm of Lasting Life 

White the sheep that gave the wool
Green the pastures where they fed
Blue and scarlet side by side
Bless the warp and bless the thread

May the charm of lasting life
Be upon your flocks in full
From the hill where they rest
May they rise both whole and well

Bless the man who wears this cloth
May he wounded never be
From the bitter cold and frost
May this cloth protection be

Bless the children warmed within
Three times three our love enfold
Peace and plenty may they find
May they grow both wise and bold

Now is waulked the web we've spun
Winter storms may rage in vain
Bless the work by which we won
Comfort from the wind and rain

White the sheep that gave the wool
Green the pastures where they fed
Blue and scarlet side by side
Bless the warp and bless the thread

Noah Kahan - Lighthouse

Noah Kahan - Lighthouse 

They’re turning your house into a parking lot
One more outfitter store, that only the tourists want
In the corner of town that just you and time forgot
I’ll sit where your couch was, say go ahead and call the cops


Feeding the flightless birds, on the pier
Hoping you might return to the fog round here


But I look out
At the wreckage of you
For as long as there’s light
For as long as you last
I curse ‘em all out
When they f--- up your story
I tell it the way that you told me


You were born with a face made for a missing sign
But you had something misplaced that you spent your life trying to find
Still hear your name from some of the local guys
Said they always placed you for the leavin’ type


But I look out
At the wreckage of you
For as long as there’s light
For as long as you last
I curse ‘em all out
When they f--- up your story
I tell it the way that you told me


I comb the lighthouse
And hope you’re there in the morning
Burnin’ your boat
Back to the ocean

LUKAS NELSON & PROMISE OF THE REAL - "Find Yourself" (Live in Austin, TX 2014)

LUKAS NELSON & PROMISE OF THE REAL - "Find Yourself" 

Well I don't mind sleeping alone
If it means I don't have to play your crazy games no more 

You're the most precious thing I've ever seen 
But I ain't gonna let it slide when you're mean to me 

I know the love that I deserve 

And I hope you find yourself
Before I find somebody else to be my love 
I hope you find yourself 
Before I find somebody else to be my love 
I know the love that I deserve 

You tell me things I wanna hear 
You want me near and I know you fear me leaving you 
You think that I won't say goodbye 
But baby I ain't standing by while you stretch the truth

I know the love that I deserve 

And I hope you find yourself 
Before I find somebody else to be my love
I hope you find yourself 
Before I find somebody else to be my love 
I know the love that I deserve 

I know the love that I deserve 
I know the love that I deserve
I know the love that I deserve 

And I hope you find yourself 
Before I find somebody else to be my love 
I hope you find yourself 
Before I find somebody else to be my love 
I know the love that I deserve

Mayday Parade - Still Breathing

Mayday Parade - Still Breathing

Give me any reason to believe
'Cause I swear I'm done here
'Cause I've seen a bigger picture
And I'm looking for some answers
Tell me that it's worth it
'Cause I'm doing all I can to fight it
And I've never been this scared
And my moment's finally here
Time's racing (Please slow down)
I gotta find my way out
I'm hopeless (But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing
It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing
Promise me some dignity
If I were to stand and die here
'Cause my heart is somewhere else
It's a pain I've never felt
Time's racing (Please slow down)
I gotta find my way out
I'm hopeless (But hoping)
My lungs won't fail me now
'Cause I'm still breathing
It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing
Where do we all find love?
Where do we all find love?
It's hard to be a man
But I'm doing all I can
I'm ready to give this all I have
I'm ready to be amazed (I'm still breathing)
'Cause I'm standing here alone
Trying to make this life my own (I'm still breathing)
And nothing will keep this heart from beating
I'm still breathing

Phoebe Bridgers - Kyoto

 Phoebe Bridgers - Kyoto

Day off in Kyoto, got bored at the temple
Looked around at the 7-11
The band took the speed train, went to the arcade
I wanted to go but I didn’t
You called me from a payphone, they still got pay phones
It cost a dollar a minute
To tell me you’re getting sober and you wrote me a letter
But I don’t have to read it
 
I’m gonna kill you
If you don’t beat me to it
Dreaming through Tokyo skies
I wanted to see the world
Then I flew over the ocean
And I changed my mind
 
Sunset’s been a freak show
On the weekend so I’ve been driving out to the suburbs
To park at the Goodwill and stare at the chem trails
With my little brother
He said you called on his birthday
You were off by like ten days
But you get a few points for trying
Remember getting the truck fixed when you let us drive it
25 felt like flying
 
I don’t forgive you
But please don’t hold me to it
Born under Scorpio skies
I wanted to see the world
Through your eyes until it happened
Then I changed my mind
 
Guess I lied
I’m a liar
Who lies
Cause I’m a liar

Shinedown - The Crow & the Butterfly

 Shinedown - The Crow & the Butterfly

 [Verse 1]
I painted your room at midnight
So I'd know yesterday was over
I put all your books on the top shelf
Even the one with the four-leaf clover
Man, I'm gettin' older

[Verse 2]
I took all your pictures off the wall
And wrapped them in a newspaper blanket
I haven't slept in what seems like a century
And now I can barely breathe

[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

[Verse 3]
Your words still serenade me
Your lullabies won't let me sleep
I've never heard such a haunting melody
Oh, it's killin' me
You know I can barely breathe

[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Just like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away

[Chorus]
Like a crow chasing the butterfly
Dandelions lost in the summer sky
When you and I were gettin' high as outer space
I never thought you'd slip away
I guess I was just a little too late

[Outro]
Just a little too late

Måneskin "TRASTEVERE" Tokyo,Japan Dec.2023

Måneskin "TRASTEVERE" 

 [Chorus]
The touch of an angel, the taste of a drug
The look of a stranger who has seen too much
Nothing comes for free, but you can pay with your heart
If you got one
Tell me all your questions, all you got to ask
She’s lickin' his fingers and shuffling the cards
"I'll give you the talent, you can give me your life
If you got one"

[Bridge]
I swear to God that from tomorrow, there will be no more pain
I will cancel your name from each one of my songs
And I had the world down to my knees
But to be honest, I never truly gave a shit when you did come along
Oh, so leave me alonе
Open up my chest, take еverything I've got, yeah

[Chorus]
The touch of an angel, the taste of a drug
The look of a stranger who has seen too much
Nothing comes for free, but you can pay with your heart
If you got one
Tell me all your questions, all you got to ask
She’s lickin' his fingers and shuffling the cards
"I'll give you the talent, you can give me your life
If you got one"

[Bridge]
I swear to God that from tomorrow, there will be no more pain
I will cancel your name from each one of my songs
And I had the world down to my knees
But to be honest, I never truly gave a shit when you did come along
Oh, so leave me alone
Open up my chest, take everything I've got

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
So leave me alone
Open up my chest, take everything I've got

Passion Pit - Take A Walk

 Passion Pit - Take A Walk

All these kind of places, 
Make it seem like it's been ages
Tomorrow some new building will scrape the sky

I love this country dearly
I can feel the ladder clearly
But I never thought I'd be alone to try

Once I was outside Penn station, 
Selling red and white carnations
We were still alone my wife and I

Before we married saved my money
Brought my dear wife over
Now I want to bring my family state side

But off the boat they stayed a while then scattered across the coast
Once a year I'll see them fore a week or so at most

I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

Practice isn't perfect 
But the market outs the loss
I remind myself that times could be much worse

My wife won't ask me questions
There's not so much to ask
And she'll never flaunt around an empty purse

Once my mother in law came 
Just to stay a couple nights
Then decided she would stay the rest of her life

I watch my little children play some board game in the kitchen
And I sit and pray they never feel my strife

But then my partner called to say the pension funds were gone
He made some bad investments
Now the accounts are over drawn

I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

Honey it's your son I think I borrowed just too much
We had taxes we had bills we had a lifestyle to front
And tonight I swear I'll come home and we'll make love like we're young

Then tomorrow you'll cook dinner 
for the neighbors and their kids
We can rip apart theses socialists and all their damn taxes

But see I am no criminal
I'm down on both bad knees
I'm just too much a coward to admit when I'm in need 

I took a walk
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
(Take a walk, take a walk, take a walk)
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh

 Dermot Kennedy - Refuge

We can’t know the end until it’s over
Show your scars and let me pull you closer
Watching your silhouette dance off the lake
I promise I won’t let you break
 
I know the dark shows up more than we’d like
Carve it in stone so the story survives
Try to stand tall try to get you to smile
Fight off what’s sensible say I’m invincible
It’s all a lie
Cause darling I’m shaking tonight
Chasing a dream but I’m tired
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying
 
Then at least the memories of you and me don’t have to be perfect
Your sandy feet, the way you breathe,
The subtle things that make it all worth it
Watching your silhouette dance off the lake
I promise I won’t let you break
 
I know the dark shows up more than we’d like
Carve it in stone so the story survives
Try to stand tall try to get you to smile
Fight off what’s sensible say I’m invincible
It’s all a lie
Darling I’m shaking tonight
Chasing a dream but I’m tired
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying
Died trying, died trying
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying
 
Trust these words my heart is true
Love let me be your refuge
Trust these words my heart is true
Love let me be your refuge
Trust these words my heart is true
Love let me be your refuge
Trust these words my heart is true
Love let me be your
Darling I’m shaking tonight
Chasing a dream but I’m tired
If we never make it at least we can say we died trying

Five For Fighting - Chances

Five For Fighting - Chances 

Chances are when said and done
Who'll be the lucky ones who make it all the way?
Though you say I could be your answer
Nothing lasts forever no matter how it feels today

Chances are we'll find a new equation
Chances roll away from me
Chances are all they hope to be

Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you

I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through, yeah

Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me

It's a fight with two to one, lay your money on the sun
Until you crash what have you done? Is there a better bet than love?
What you are is what you breathe, you gotta cry before you sing

Chances, chances
Chances lost are hope's torn up pages
Maybe this time

Chances are we'll be the combination
Chances come and carry me
Chances are waiting to be taken, and I can see

Chances are the fascinations
Chances won't escape from me
Chances are only what we make them and all I need

Ocie Elliot - Take Me Home

Ocie Elliot - Take Me Home 

I get all these thoughts burning through my mind
Some of them are on fire, some are just unkind
I turn my TV on, I want to go blind
The words scroll through my head and I get so resigned

Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay here

Dark clouds forming over foaming seas
And the notes are folding, and the winter’s freezing
We learned we steal our honey from the bees
I hear that buzzing every time I’m not at ease

Take me home, I don’t want to stay here
Take me home, I don’t want to stay

And as soon as I’m on, with the now in mind
I see it’s one step at a time

First Aid Kit - Walk Unafraid (R.E.M. cover)

 First Aid Kit - Walk Unafraid 

As the sun comes up, as the moon goes down
These heavy notions creep around
It makes me think, long ago
I was brought into this life, a little lamb
A little lamb
Courageous, stumbling
Fearless was my middle name
But somewhere there I lost my way
Everyone walks the same
Expecting me to step
The narrow path they've laid
They claim to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold me, love me, or leave me high
Say "Keep within the boundaries if you want to play"
Say "Contradiction only makes it harder"
How can I be
What I want to be
When all I want to do is strip away
These still constraints
And crush this charade
Shred this sad masquerade?
I don't need no persuading
I'll trip, fall, pick myself up and
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold me, love me, or leave me high
If I have a bag of rocks to carry as I go
I just want to hold my head up high
I don't care what I have to step over
I'm prepared to look you in the eye
Look me in the eye
And if you see familiarity
Then celebrate the contradiction
Help me when I fall to
Walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold me, love me, or leave me high
I will walk unafraid
I'll be clumsy instead
Hold me, love me, or leave me high
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

James Chapter Three

1    MY brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

2    For in many things we offend all.  If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also
    to bridle the whole body.

3    Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us;  and we turn about their whole body.

4    Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned
    about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

5    Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.  Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6    And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity:  so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole 
    body, and setteth on fire the course of nature;  and it is set on fire of hell.

7    For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been
    tamed of mankind:

8    But the tongue can no man tame;  it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

9    Therewith bless we God, even the Father;  and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

10    Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.  My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11    Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12    Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?  either a vine, figs?  so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13    Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?  let him shew out of a good conversation his works 
    with meekness of wisdom.

14    But if ye have bitter enying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15    This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16    For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17    But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy,
    and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18    And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

    James Chapter Three - KJV

Gregory Alan Isakov - Time Will Tell (Red Barn Studio live)

 Gregory Alan Isakov - Time Will Tell

Turning in the grain again
the bells begin to chime
Time, she says,
"there's no turning back,
keep your eyes on the tracks"
through the fields, somewhere there's blue
oh, time will tell, she'll see us through


Howling out,
the windy hills
and all the time we took
you should know just how it steals
keep your hand on the wheel
and through it all, somewhere we knew
time will tell, she'll see us through


And all fire and flames took all we trust
we're kicking up dust
stations fade just like they do
oh, time will tell, we always knew
Oh, time will tell, we always knew

Joel Chapter Three

1    FOR, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

2    I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them
    there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

3    And they have cast lots for my people;  and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they
    might drink.

4    Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?  will ye render me a
    recompence upon your own head;

5    Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

6    The children also of Judah and the children of Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove
    them far from their border.

7    Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye have sold them, and will return your recompence 
    upon your own head:

8    And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to
    the Sabeans, to a people far off:  for the LORD hath spoken it.

9    Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles;  Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; 
    let them come up:

10    Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears:  let the weak say, I am strong.

11    Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about:  thither cause
    thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD.

12    Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat:  for there will I sit to judge all the
    heathen round about.

13    Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe:  come, get you down;  for the press is full, the fats overflow;
    for their wickedness is great.

14    Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision:  for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

15    The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining.

16    The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem;  and the heavens and the earth shall 
    shake:  but the LORD will be the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. 

17    So shall ye know that I am the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain:  then shall Jerusalem
    be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

18    And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall
    flow with milk, and the all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the
    house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

19    Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children 
     of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

20    But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

21    For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed:  for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh)

 Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey Oh)

Come to decide that the things that I tried were in my life just to get high on. 
When I sit alone, come get a little known 
But I need more than myself this time. 
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe that we rely on 
When I lay it on, come get to play it on 
All my life to sacrifice. 

Hey oh... listen what I say oh 
I got your hey oh, now listen what I say oh 

When will I know that I really can't go 
To the well once more - time to decide on. 
Well it's killing me, when will I really see, all that I need to look inside. 
Come to believe that I better not leave before I get my chance to ride, 
Well it's killing me, what do I really need - all that I need to look inside. 

Hey oh... listen what I say oh 
Come back and hey oh, look at what I say oh 

The more I see the less I know 
The more I like to let it go - hey oh, woah... 
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow, 
Finally divided by a word so undecided and there's nowhere to go; 
In between the cover of another perfect wonder and it's so white as snow, 
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go. 

Ho! 
Went to descend to amend for a friend of the channels that had broken down. 
Now you bring it up, I'm gonna ring it up - just to hear you sing it out. 
Step from the road to the sea to the sky, and I do believe what we rely on, 
When I lay it on, come get to play it on 
All my life to sacrifice 

Hey oh... listen what I say oh 
I got your hey oh... listen what I say oh 

The more I see, the less I know 
The more I like to let it go - hey oh, woah... 
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow. 
Finally divided by a word so undecided and there's nowhere to go 
In between the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow 
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go. 

I said hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now. 
Hey hey yeah oh yeah, tell my love now. 

Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow, 
Finally divided by a word so undecided and there's nowhere to go. 
Deep beneath the cover of another perfect wonder where it's so white as snow...
Running through the field where all my tracks will be concealed and there's nowhere to go. 

I said hey oh yeah oh yeah... tell my love now 
Hey yeah yeah... oh yeah.

Kings of Leon - The Final Chapter, Reverend

 Kings of Leon - The Final Chapter, Reverend

On the lam cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap
Crushed by the cry of the wandering man who was never coming back
Stuck on the line spending all of his time with his back to the throne
With the flash of the round everybody in town said "Leave it alone"

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let it go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let it go

I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground
Beast of the wild with a porcelain smile as it passes around
The truth in disguise from the billowing eyes isn't working on me
Don't you think you gotta give
Give me something I want
Give me something I need

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let it go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let it go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go

Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
So my heart will never say so
And my heart will never let you go 

Muse - Be With You

 Muse - Be With You

It seems my light's been swallowed up
I've used up every ounce of luck
I need to leap into the fire, find a higher power
And reach for something new
 

I need somewhere that's safe to run
It can't just be with anyone
It's got to be with you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's got to be with you (be with you, be with you)
 

I won't go quiet into the night
I'll rage against the dying light
I won't bow to the universe, I can break its curse
And build us something new
 

I long to fall into the sun
It can't just be with anyone
It's got to be with you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
It's got to be with you
 

I feel my life has just begun
It can't just be with anyone
It's got to be with you, ooh, ooh, oh, ooh-oh
It's got to be with you

The Band CAMINO - 12:34

 The Band CAMINO - 12:34

I was on my way back over 
Stopped to pick a 4 leaf clover 
Wishbone broke I think I like my odds  
I’ll wait for the dust to settle 
I’ll keep picking red rose pedals 
Love me love me love me love not 

Is it lucky lucky you 
Is lucky little me?
Is it 2022 is it 3033? 
Gotta bird’s eye view 
Found penny on the street 
So I’ll take my chances 

It’s 12:34
And I’m outside you’re apartment 
Only have 60 seconds 
To line up our stars
I couldn’t wait any longer 
So I’m here at your door 
I missed 11:11 
I’ll wish on 12:34

Thank god I kept my fingers crossed 
The water’s glass we’re skipping rocks 
Im holding more than aces in my hand 
Cause I missed every sidewalk crack
My dandelion blew right back 
A silver spoon just fell into the pan  

Baby you can take my word
Or you can trust the universe 

It’s 12:34
And I’m outside you’re apartment 
Only need 60 seconds  
To show you my heart 
I couldn’t, wait any longer 
So I’m here at your door 
You got me wishing on

James Chapter Two

1    MY brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

2    For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also 
    a poor man in vile raiment;

3    And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place;
    and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

4    Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?

5    Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom
    which he hath promised to them that love him?

6    But ye have despised the poor.  Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats?

7    Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called?

8    If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

9    But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

10    For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

11    For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.  Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill,
    thou art become a transgressor of the law.

12    So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

13    For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy;  and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.

14    What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works?  can faith save him?

15    If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,

16    And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;  notwithstanding ye give them not
    those things which are needful to the body;  what doth it profit?

17    Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

18    Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:  shew my thy faith without thy works, and I will shew
    thee my faith by my works.

19    Thou believest that there is one God;  thou doest well:  the devils also believe, and tremble.

20    But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

21    Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22    Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?

23    And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness:
    and he was called the Friend of God.

24    Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

25    Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent
    them out another way?

26    For as the body with the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
