Noah Gunderson - Circles

 Noah Gunderson - Circles

Wait for the day that this isn't happening
Wait for the day for the rest of your life
No one can save you now
Now that you're out on your own
No one can save you now

And all your tomorrows go sailing on by
You're holding your ticket, too late for the ride
You try and explain but you don't really know
How the emptiness grows and all your tomorrows go sailing on by

But all the stars you see are only a memory
Something in you and me is made of the same thing
All my life, I've lived in a daydream
I thought it'd be different, I guess that it's not
We just go around in circles

I don't wanna listen, you don't wanna talk
We just go around in circles
I start to remember everything I forgot
We just go around in circles
All of our wishes and all that we're not
We just go around in circles
Around in circles

Hailey and Shawn - Time For Me To Fly (REO Speedwagon cover)

 Hailey and Shawn - Time For Me To Fly

I've been around for you, I've been up and down for you
But I just can't get any relief
I've swallowed my pride for you, I've lived and lied for you
But you still make me feel like a thief

You got me stealin' your love away 'cause you never give it
Peelin’ the years away and we can't relive it
Oh, I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

You said, "We'd work it out", you said that you had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holdin' on to a feelin' I know is gone
I do believe that I've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy and the intoleration
Oh, I make you laugh and you make me cry
I believe it's time for me to fly

(Time for me to fly)
Oh, I've got to set myself free
(Time for me to fly)
That's just how it's got to be
I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly (Fly)

Ooh, oh baby

Oh, don't you know it's
Time for me to fly?

Oh, I've got to set myself free
(Time for me to fly)
Oh, baby, that's just how it's got to be
Oh, I know it hurts to say goodbye
But it's time for me to fly, it’s time for me to fly,
It’s time for me to fly

It's time for me to fly, (it's time for me to fly)
It's time for me to fly, (it's time for me to fly)
It's time for me to fly, (it's time for me to fly)
It’s time for me to fly

Bishop Briggs - Blood From A Stone

 Bishop Briggs - Blood From A Stone

All of your devotion, just another smokescreen
Gave you what I had to give then you asked for more
You robbed me blind
The best years of my life
Bracing for the cycle, silent til you’re empty
Impulsive behaviors you keep on pretending, yeah
You robbed me blind
The best years of my life

Blood from a stone
Salt in my eyes, alone
All night long

Blood from a stone
I should have known
You’d keep drinking from me til I’m dry
Blood from a stone
Now that I’m grown
You’d think I might have learned not to try

Down to the bone
Blood from a stone

Reaching from the darkness every time you’re lonely
Always an agenda every time you call me now
A thousand times
My heart is on the line
Another broken promise, I’m the only witness
Drown me in denial now you want forgiveness, oh
A thousand times
My heart is on the line

Blood from a stone
Salt in my eyes, alone
All night long

Blood from a stone
I should have known
You’d keep drinking from me til I’m dry
Blood from a stone
Now that I’m grown

You’d think I might have learned not to try

Down to the bone
Blood from a stone

No, no nothing
No, no nothing
Nothing left to give

No, no nothing
No, no nothing
Nothing left to give

Blood from a stone
I should have known
You’d keep drinking from me til I’m dry
Down to the bone
Blood from a stone

Young The Giant - My Body

 Young The Giant - My Body

Stop! the train is riding 
Down to the station 
Where you lived 
When we were school kids

Hey! the rails are gone now 
And I am falling down
Fools in a spiral 
Round this town of steel

My body tells me no 
But I won't quit 
Cause I want more 

Stop! the train is riding 
Down to the station 
Where I lived 
When I was a cool kid

Hey! is it my fault that 
The fallen embers burn
Down in a spiral
Round your crown of thieves

My body tells me no
But I won't quit
Cause I want more

It rides out of town

Oh, it's my road
And it's my war

His eyes are open

My body tells me no 
But I won't quit 
Cause I want more 

It rides out of town

beabadoobee - Tired

  beabadoobee - Tired 

You haven't been good for long
Is it the sound of your own thoughts
That always keeps you up at night?
Maybe it's time to say goodbye
'Cause I'm getting pretty f---ing tired
You haven't felt right for days
Is it the fact you never say
What comes in your mind that day?
Maybe it's time to shut away
'Cause I've never really felt okay
'Cause I've been eating less all day
To give my brain some extra space to think
'Bout all the things to do to help
Distract me from the rude of heart

Lord Huron - Used to Know -- Live at Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington 10/18/2025

 Lord Huron - Used to Know

I saw you in the distance
So lovely and far away
I wondered where you came from
You waved your hand, you called my name

And time was running backwards
Towards something I can't believe
I started running after
I saw a ghost, he looked the same as me

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know

You seem sullen and far away
I can't endure the waiting
My mind will fade, my heart will break

And time is running backwards
Towards something I can't define
I'm looking for an answer
Go easy, girl, your heart will break like mine

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know

Grab your cigarettes, get a move on, we gotta go
Before they turn the lights down low
Dark silhouettes of a future you tried to forget
Everything you told me

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know

If I ever give back what you gave me
Take it and run away as far as you can go
If I ever come back from the graveyard
Tell me I remind you of someone you used to know

Romans Chapter Two

1    THEREFORE thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest:  for wherein thou judgest another,
    thou condemnest thyself;  for thou that judgest doest the same things.

2    But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.

3    And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt
    escape the judgment of God?

4    Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering;  not knowing that the goodness
    of God leadeth thee to repentance?

5    But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and
    revelation of the righteous judgment of God;

6    Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

7    To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immorality, eternal life:

8    But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

9    Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

10    But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile:

11    For there is no respect of persons with God.

12    For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without law:  and as many as have sinned
    in the law shall be judged by the law;

13    (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

14    For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having
    not the law, are a law unto themselves:

15    Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their 
    thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

16    In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

17    Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

18    And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

19    And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness;

20    An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

21    Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?  thou that preachest a man should not steal,
    dost thou steal?

22    Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery?  thou that abhorrest idols, dost
    thou commit sacrilege?  

23    Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

24    For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written.

25    For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law:  but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision 
    is made uncircumcision.

26    Therefore if the uncirumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted
    for circumcision?

27    And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and 
    circumcision dost transgress the law?

28    For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly;  neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh:

29    But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly;  and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the
    letter;  whose praise is not of men, but of God.

    Romans Chapter Two - KJV


Jeremiah Chapter Seventeen

1    THE sin of Judah is written with a pen of iron, and with the point of a diamond:  it is graven upon the table
    of their heart;  and upon the horns of your altars;

2    Whilst their children remember their altars and their groves by the green trees upon the high hills.

3    O my mountain in the field, I will give thy substance and all thy treasures to the spoil, and thy high places
    for sin, throughout all thy borders.

4    And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee;  and I will cause thee to serve thine
    enemies in the land which thou knowest not;  for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.


5    Thus saith the LORD;  Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart
    departeth from the LORD.

6    For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh;  but shall inhabit the parched
    places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.

7    Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.  

8    For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not
    see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green;  and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither
    shall cease from yielding fruit.


9    The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked:  who can know it?

10    I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the
    fruit of his doings.

11    As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not;  so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave
    them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.


12    A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

13    O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written
    in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.

14    Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed;  save me, and I shall be saved:  for thou art my praise.

15    Behold, they say unto me, where is the word of the LORD?  let it come now.

16    As for me, I have not hastened from being a pastor to follow thee:  neither have I desired the woeful day;  thou
    knowest:  that which came out of my lips was right before thee.

17    Be not a terror unto me:  thou art my hope in the day of evil.

18    Let them be confounded that persecute me, but let not me be confounded:  let them be dismayed, but let 
    not me be dismayed:  bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.


19    Thus said the LORD unto me;  Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the kings
    of Judah come in, and by the which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;

20    And say unto them, Hear ye the word of the LORD, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants
    of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates:

21    Thus saith the LORD;  Take heed to yourselves, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, nor bring it in
     by the gates of Jerusalem:

22    Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye
    the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.

23    But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor 
    receive instruction.

24    And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through
    the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;

25    Then shall there enter in the gates of this city kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in
    chariots and on horses, they, and their princes, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: 
    and this city shall remain for ever.

26    And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places about Jerusalem, and from the land 
    of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings,
    and sacrifices, meat offering, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise, unto the house of the LORD.

27    But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the sabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering in
    at the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day;  then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall
    devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

Djo - End of Beginning (Live at Austin City Limits Music Festival 2025)

  Djo - End of Beginning 

Just one more tear to cry 
One teardrop from my eye 
You better save it for 
The middle of the night 
When things aren’t black and white 
Enter, Troubadour:
“Remember 24?”
 
And when I’m back in Chicago, I feel it 
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning 
 
This song has started now 
And you're just finding out 
Now isn’t that a laugh? 
A major sacrifice but clueless at the time 
Enter, Caroline:
“Just trust me you’ll be fine”
 
And when I’m back in Chicago I feel it 
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning 
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
 
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the city, not the city out the man
You take the man out of the 
 
And when I’m back in Chicago, I feel it 
Another version of me, I was in it
I wave goodbye to the end of beginning 
Goodbye
Goodbye

 The Academy Is... - Freak Out

Sitting on a broken heart, six years
Lovestruck going on six years

Oh, where did you go?
Time isn't all we have
Oh, where did you go?

Freak out, like right now
Get up, get out
If it's us or them, I'll call you in
Where, oh where do I begin?
Freak out, like right now
Freak out

Wearing these shitty clothes all day
Sitting pretty, playing your game
Up and down, turn around
Turn around before I drown

Oh, where did you go?
Time isn't all we have
Oh, where did you go?

Freak out, like right now
Get up, get out
If it's us or them, I'll call you in

Get up, get out
If it's us or them, I'll call you in

Lord Huron - When the Night is Over

 Lord Huron - When the Night is Over

My one and only love
I've been lonely long enough
Will I find you when the night is over?
Tell me where did you go?
I've been searching high and low
I have only 'til the night is over
In every window, I pass
Your reflection in the glass
Makes me wonder if my mind is going
Shadows shifting in the rain
Slowly driving me insane
By the stars above, I know we were in love
I have only 'til the night is over
I feel the weather change
I hear the river say your name
I watch the birds fly by
I see an emerald in the sky
Now how the trail has gone cold
I don't know where else to go
And my time, I fear, is nearly over
When the ocean drinks the sky
And the city winks its eye
When the night is done, you'll vanish in the sun
Will I hold you when the night is over?
Am I lost inside my mind?
There's an emerald in the sky
I hear the river say your name
By the stars above, I know we were in love
I hear the river say your name
I have only 'til the night is over

The Fray - Don't Look Down

 The Fray - Don't Look Down

You said you had an epiphany 
Don’t think you’re where you're supposed to be
You’re scared to jump off the ledge again
It always ends in catastrophe

But if you hold me close
I swear that there’s no chance
I’d ever let you go
Darling just hold my hand

Don’t look down
Fallin’, we’re fallin’ 
Can’t stop now
Runnin’ and runnin’ till the
Wheels wear out
All in I’m all in
No easy way of knowing
We’ll get to where we’re going
If we don’t look down
If we don’t look down

Standing there at the starting line
And everything that you’ll leave behind
Nothing good isn’t dangerous
Sometimes you just gotta roll the dice

And if you hold me close
I’d swear that there’s no chance
I’d ever let you go
Darling just hold my hand

Don’t look down
Fallin’, we’re falling in
We can’t stop now
Runnin’ and runnin’ till the
Wheels wear out
All in, I’m all in
No easy way of knowing
We’ll get to where we’re going
If we don’t look down
If we don’t look down

No, we won’t look down
No, we won’t look down
No, we won’t look down
(No we won’t, no we won’t, no we won’t look down)

Don’t look down
Fallin’, we’re falling in
Can’t stop now
Runnin’ and runnin’ till the
Wheels wear out
All in, I’m all in
No easy way of knowing
We’ll get to where we’re going
If we don’t look down
If we don’t look down
Don’t look down
If we don’t look down

Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal 

 [Intro]
I was following the, I was following the
I was following the, I was following the
I was following the, I was following the
I was following the, I was following the

[Chorus]
I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime

[Chorus]
I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime

[Chorus]
I was following the pack, all swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads from fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime

beabadoobee - See You Soon

 beabadoobee - See You Soon

I wanted to be everything you see 
But I went the wrong direction 
I needed some affection 
And I’m not sure why but 
I will see you soon 
(I guess I have to take it I’m deteriorating)
Feeling blue

It’s a walk in the park 
You say ‘It’s not that hard’ 
I’m feeling kinda dizzy 
I don’t want this to leave me 
And I told you I’ll
See you soon
(I guess I have to take it I’m deteriorating)
Feeling blue
(I try to have a meaning and it looks appealing)
I want you 

I had some time away 
Didn’t want to go insane from this
I wanted you to know 
I need time to grow 
And to exist 
I think I needed space
Let you know I’m safe 
I swear it’s just a little thing 

See you soon
(I guess I have to take it I’m deteriorating)
Feeling blue
(I try to have a meaning and it looks appealing)
I want you

 Aimee Allen - Revolution (theme from "Birds of Prey")

Hey kids, rock 'n' roll
That's how I lost control
Hey kids, go get high
I can't remember why

Up all night, I waste my time
I am fine, but a day behind
Up all night feelin' stupid 'n' happy
But the days are overlapping
My days are overlapping

I'd start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning
I'd start a revolution
If I could get up, get up

Start a revolution
Start a revolution
If I could get up, get up

Start a revolution
Start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning

Hey, every day is the weekend
I stay up, so I sleep in
Hey, everyday there's a reason
To just do it all over again

Up all night, I waste my time
I am fine, but a day behind
Up all night feelin' stupid 'n' happy
But the days are overlapping
My days are overlapping

I'd start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning
I'd start a revolution
If I could get up, get up

Start a revolution
Start a revolution
If I could get up, get up

Start a revolution
Start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning
If i could get up in the morning

Get up, get up, get up
Get up in the morning
Get up, get up, get up

All the things I do
that you tell me not to
Try walkin' in my shoes
But you stumble, don't you?
4-5-6 a.m.
I'm up all night again

I'd start a revolution
If I could
I'd start a revolution
If I could get up, get up

Start a revolution
Start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning

Start a revolution
Start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning

I'd start a revolution
get up in the morning
I'd start a revolution
If I could get up in the morning
I'd start a revolution
I'd start a revolution

If I could get up, get up

Band of Horses - The Funeral

 Band of Horses - The Funeral

I'm coming up only to hold you under
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were

Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it's all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were

At every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

I'm coming up only to show you down for
I'm coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For'e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope

At every occasion I'll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I'm ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral

Shinedown - Three Six Five 

 [Intro]
There's a hurricane, and it's on the way
I've been sitting in this house for days
I'm in here waitin' on the flood
I've been hanging out and holding on
To every word of our favorite song
These headphones, are thicker than blood

[Chorus]
If I could hitch a ride on a time machine
I would bring you right back here with me
And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear
Even though I said all the things that mattered most
While I held on tight to the end of the rope
I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here
A lot can happen in a year

[Verse]
Giving in not giving up
Maybе I didn't care enough
I wish I could let you know somеhow

[Chorus]
If I could hitch a ride on a time machine
I would bring you right back here with me
And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear
Even though I said all the things that mattered most
While I held on tight to the end of the rope
I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here

[Bridge]
A lot can happen in a year
A lot can happen in a year
A lot can happen in a year

[Verse]
Keep looking up not looking down
You won't find the answers in the ground
So where will we be 12 months from now

[Chorus]
And if I could hitch a ride on a time machine
I would bring you right back here with me
And I wouldn't have to watch you disappear
Even though I said all the things that mattered most
While I held on tight to the end of the rope
I could keep you close, but I couldn't keep you here
A lot can happen in a year

Romans Chapter One

1    PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,

2    (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)

3    Concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;

4    And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

5    By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:

6    Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ:

7    To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints:  Grace to you, and peace from God our Father, and
    the Lord Jesus Christ.

8    First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.

9    For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make
    mention of you always in my prayers;

10    Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you.

11    For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established;

12    That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me.

13    Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,)
    that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

14    I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians;  both to the wise, and to the unwise.

15    So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16    For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth;
    to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17    For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith:  as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

18    For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold
    the truth in unrighteousness;

19    Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them;  for God hath shewed it unto them.

20    For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things
    that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead;  so that they are without excuse:

21    Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful;  but became vain in
    their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22    Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23    And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds,
    and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24    Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own
    bodies between themselves:

25    Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who
    is blessed for ever.  Amen.

26    For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections:  for even their women did change the natural use into that 
    which is against nature:

27    And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with
    men, working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28    And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those    
    things which are not convenient;

29    Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness;  full of envy, murder,
    debate, deceit, malignity;  whisperers,

30    Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31    Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32    Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same,
    but have pleasure in them that do them.

Passenger - Let Her Go

Passenger - Let Her Go 

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast

You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies

But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep

Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go
And you let her go
Well you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Jeremiah Chapter Sixteen

1    THE word of the LORD came also unto me, saying,

2    Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.

3    For thus saith the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place,
    and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;

4    They shall die of grievous deaths;  they shall not be lamented;  neither shall they be buried;  but they shall
    be as dung upon the face of the earth:  and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine;  and their 
    carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

5    For thus saith the LORD, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them:  for
    I have taken away my peace from this people, saith the LORD, even lovingkindness and mercies.

6    Both the great and the small shall die in this land:  they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for
    them, nor cut themselves bald for them:

7    Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead;  neither shall men give
    them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.

8    Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.

9    For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;  Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your
    eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the
    voice of the bride.


10    And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee,
    Wherefore hath the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us?  or what is our iniquity?  or what is
    our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?

11    Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the LORD, and have walked after
    other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;

12    And ye have done worse than your fathers;  for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart,
    that they may not hearken unto me:

13    Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers;  and there shall
    ye serve others gods day and night;  where I will not shew you favour.


14    Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought
    up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

15    But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands
    whither he had driven them:  and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.


16    Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith the LORD, and they shall fish them;  and after will I send for many
    hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

17    For mine eyes are upon all their ways:  they are not hid from my face, nether is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.

18    And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double;  because they have defiled my land, they have filled
    mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.

19    O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee
    from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there
    is no profit.

20    Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods?

21    Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might;
    and they shall know that my name is The LORD.

Alex Warren - Catch My Breath

 Alex Warren - Catch My Breath

Caroline called me and said there's a girl you should meet but she lives far away.
I heard your voice and I knew I had no other choice but to jump on a plane.
You dropped out of college with $500 was all that you had to your name.
Who knew in no time you would be taking mine,
Down the aisle to Lana Del Rey.

I've been off my head,
Since the night we met.
And you look so amazing,
Sometimes I forget,
To catch my breath.

Catch my breath.
Catch my breath.
Sometimes I forget,

To remember the start,
Living out of that car,
Saving up just to buy gasoline?
Back when everyone,
Told you that you should run,
You jumped in the passenger seat.

Can't believe how far we made it.
Have all I want but I'm praying,
We're lucky enough,
Cause I start tearing up,
When I think of the mother you'll be.

I've been off my head (off my head),
Since the night we met (night we met),
And you look so amazing,
Sometimes I forget,
To catch my breath.

It all happened so fast (catch my breath).
I forget to look back (catch my breath).
Meet you right where we're at.
Catch my breath

I've been off my head,
Since the night we met.
And you look so amazing,
Sometimes I forget,
To catch my breath.

I've been off my head (off my head),
Since the night we met (night we met).
And you look so amazing,
Sometimes I forget,
To catch my breath.

It all happened so fast (catch my breath).
I forget to look back (catch my breath).
Meet you right where we're at.
Sometimes I forget.

Caroline called me and said there's a girl you should meet but she lives far away.

Zephaniah Chapter Three

1    WOE to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city!

2    She obeyed not the voice;  she received not correction,  she trusted not in the LORD;  she drew not near to her God.

3    Her princes within her are roaring lions;  her judges are evening wolves;  they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.

4    Her prophets are light and treacherous persons:  her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done 
    violence to the law.

5    The just LORD is in the midst thereof;  he will not do iniquity:  every morning doth he bring his judgment to light,
    he faileth not;  but the unjust knoweth no shame.

6    I have cut off the nations:  their towers are desolate;  I made their streets waste, that none passeth by:  their cities
    are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.

7    I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction;  so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever
    I punished them:  but they rose early, and corrupted all their doing.


8    Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, unto the day that I rise up to the prey:  for my determination is to gather
    the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger:
    for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

9    For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him
    with one consent.

10    From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.

11    In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me:  for then
    I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty 
    because of my holy mountain.

12    I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and they shall trust in the name of the LORD.


13    The remnant of Israel shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies;  neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth:
    for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid.


14    Sing, O daughter of Zion;  shout, O Israel;  be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem.

15    The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy:  the king of Israel, even the LORD
    is in the mist of thee:  thou shalt not see evil any more.

16    In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not:  and to Zion, Let not thine hands be slack.

17    The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;  he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy;  he will rest
    in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

18    I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.

19    Behold, at the time I will undo all that afflict thee:  and I will save her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out;
    and I will get them praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.

20    At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you:  for I will make you a name and a praise
    among all people of the earth, when I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.

The Killers - Bright Lights - (Live Debut at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace) Night 1

  The Killers - Bright Lights

Standing in darkness 
With empty hands 
I still know how to use them but the miles made other plans
Running out of highway
Shorter on time
Feel the dead weight deepen and the devil coming down the line
 
The dashboard’s shaking
I steady the wheel
And I make every turn by memory, by feel
 
Towards a black horizon
An unbroken dawn
Will this endless stretch of desert road get me back where I belong
 
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Cuz I haven’t forgotten where it is I’m from
Look out your window for me, here I come
 
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner and I’ll sing my song
I’m a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on
 
I carry my own weight
And then some too
There are things I would change but it ain’t worth going through
Maybe I’m tapped out
Or just plain old tired
Tonight the charge is rewrote 
But I’m still hardwired
 
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Cuz I haven’t forgotten where it is I’m from
Look out your window for me here I come
 
Will you turn the bright lights on
Baby turn the bright lights on
Put me back on the corner and I’ll sing my song
I’m a shoo-in tonight, turn the bright lights on
 
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
We turn the bright lights on
 
We turn, we turn, we turn the bright lights on
We turn, we turn the bright
You know I think it’s gonna be alright
You know I think it’s gonna be alright
You know I think it’s gonna be alright
You know I think it’s gonna be alright
Tonight, tonight, tonight yeah
 
You know I think it’s gonna be alright
You know I think it’s gonna be alright
Just hang back and let me sing my song
Turn the bright lights on
 
Turn the bright lights on
Turn the bright lights on

Delta Spirit - Salt in the Wound 5/1/2010 - Codfish Hollow Barn - Maquoketa, IA

  Delta Spirit - Salt in the Wound

I want to disappear
Far from the folks I know
I want to get an answer
To why I was even born
No one here can tell me
What's been haunting me all my life
Well, this rat race has left me limping
'Cause I balanced on the edge of the knife
Why am I here?
Oh, what should I do?
Well, is this the point I'm trying to prove?
If there's a God in my head
Then there's a devil too
How can I tell the difference
When they both claim to be true?
Maybe God is God
Maybe the Devil is me
Well, I just throw my chains on
And tell myself that I'm free
Chains, are they really there?
Is this just in my head?
Well, I'll just stay in bed
Life sure has its meaning
Over years I have postured the sun
Thieves and preachers robbed me
For many hat that I've hung
Now with my heart wide open
I listen to the wind just for a word
Sure, I know it's futile
But that's all I have in this world
To look down from the hill and howl at the moon
All the tears I cried never salted any wounds
Well, the earth is so tender and cruel
Well, if you're not there it's still so beautiful
