"Something Beautiful" - ODi

http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/agents/afineirishman/files/panda%20bears.jpg

Remember those words you said

All those words you said

When there was nothing left to say

You mended a broken heart

Put together a broken heart

You patched me up

You took my weight

Cause we all want something beautiful

Just to hold on to

Remember the winter sky

Your breath in the cold blue sky

The warmth from your lips I felt that day

Remember the clothes you wore

The smell of the coat you wore

You patched me up

You took my weight

Cause we all want something beautiful

Just to hold on to

Until the pain is through

There's something that we can do

You mended a broken heart

Put together a broken heart

You patched me up

You took my weight

Cause we all want something beautiful

Just to hold on to

Until the pain is through

There's something that we can do

There's something that we can do

There's something that we can do

"We Sink" - Of Monsters and Men

All those eyes on me

As I sink into the open sea

Color in my sheltered mind

Fill the gap between you and I

[CHORUS]

We are the sleepers

We bite our tongues

We set the fire

And we let it burn

Through the dreamers

We hear the hum

They say, "Come on, come on, let's go"

So come on, come on, let's go

It's warm, the skin I'm living in

It creates the shapes what is within

So please look away, don't look at me

As we sink into the open sea

[CHORUS]

I know that it's a waste of time

Chasing in the dark

But keep me in your clouded minds

'Til time ignites a spark

"Miracle" - Paramore

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive

So I'm going to start over tonight

Beginning with you and I

When this memory fades

I'm gonna make sure it's replaced

With chances taken

Hope embraced

[CHORUS]

And have I told you

I'm not going

Cause I've been waiting for a miracle

And I'm not leaving

I won't let you

Let you give up on a miracle

When it might save you

We've learned to run from

Anything uncomfortable

We've tied our pain below

And no one ever has to know

That inside we're broken

I try to patch things up again

To calm my tears and kill these fears

[CHORUS]

It's not faith if you use your eyes

We'll get it right this time

Let's leave this all behind

We'll get it right this time

It's not faith if you're using your eyes

I've gone for too long living like I'm not alive

So I'm going to start over tonight

Beginning with you and

I don't want to run

From anything uncomfortable

I just want, no

I just *NEED* this pain to end right here  :'(

[CHORUS]

It's not faith if you use your eyes

If you use your eyes

If you use your eyes

"Bring It On" - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

This garden that I built for you

That you sit in now and yearn

I will never leave it, Dear

I could not bear to return

And find it all untended

With the trees all bended low

This garden is our home, Dear

And I got nowhere else to go

So bring it on, bring it on

Every little tear

Bring it on

Every useless fear

Bring it on

All your shattered dreams

And I'll scatter them into the sea

Into the sea

The geraniums on your window sill

The carnations, Dear, and the daffodil

Well, they're ordinary flowers

But they long for the light of your touch

And of your trembling will

Ah, you're trembling still

And I am trembling too

To be perfectly honest

I don't know quite what else to do

So bring it on, bring it on

Every neglected dream

Bring it on

Every little scheme

Bring it on

Every little fear

And I'll make them disappear

So bring it on, bring it on

Every little fear

Bring it on

Every tiny tear

And I'll make them disappear

"Fear & Loathing" - Marina and The Diamonds

https://youtu.be/4UockDZTYxM

I've lived a lot of different lives

Been different people many times

I live my life in bitterness

And fill my heart with emptiness

And now I see, I see it for the first time

There is no crime in being kind

Not everyone is out to screw you over

Maybe oh just maybe, they just wanna get to know ya

Now the time is here

Baby, you don't have to live your life in fear

And the sky is clear

Is clear of fear

[CHORUS]

Don't wanna live in fear and loathing

I wanna feel like I am floating

Instead of constantly exploding

In fear and loathing

Got different people inside my head

I wonder which one that they like best

I'm done with trying to have it all

And ending up with not much at all

And now the time is here

Baby, you don't have to live your life in fear

And the sky is clear

Is clear of fear, of fear

[CHORUS]

And when the time comes along

And the lights run out

I know where I will belong

When they blow me out

[CHORUS]

I wanna be completely weightless

I wanna touch the edge of greatness

Don't wanna be completely faithless

Completely faithless

When the time comes around

When the lights will go out

When the time comes around

When the lights they go out

For our very special lurker friend

Still miss you so much around these parts

Always thinking of you

Love you!

"Love Will Set You Free" - Kodaline

http://lovelace-media.imgix.net/uploads/413/725dbed0-ed08-0132-ab16-0acd8dfea39d.jpg?

I'm sure you’re probably busy

getting on with your new life

So far away from, so far away from

When everything we used to say was wrong

Is now alright

Where has the time gone

Where has the time gone

[CHORUS]

If you’re ever feeling lonely

If you’re ever feeling down

You should know you’re not the only one

Cause I feel it with you now

When the world is on your shoulders

And you’re falling to your knees

Oh please

You know love will set you free

I took a long and lonely walk

Up to an empty house

That's where I've come from

Where have you come from

The more I live the more I know

I've got to live without

But this ain't no sad song

Life has to go on

[CHORUS]

You know love will set you free

You know love will set you free

You know love will set you free

You know love will set you free

If you’re ever feeling lonely

If you’re ever feeling down

You should know you’re not the only one

Cause I feel it with you now

When the world is on your shoulders

And you’re falling to your knees

Oh please

You know love will set you free

Love will set you free

"Windmills Of Your Mind"

Dusty Springfield

Nana Mouskouri

https://youtu.be/u4f5AAWKWCw

Barbra Streisand

Round

Like a circle in a spiral

Like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning

On an ever spinning reel

Like a snowball down a mountain

Or a carnival balloon

Like a carousel that's turning

Running rings around the moon

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

Past the minutes of its face

And the world is like an apple

Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind

Like a tunnel that you follow

To a tunnel of its own

Down a hollow to a cavern

Where the sun has never shone

Like a door that keeps revolving

In a half forgotten dream

Or the ripples from a pebble

Someone tosses in a stream

Like a clock whose hands are sweeping

Past the minutes of its face

And the world is like an apple

Whirling silently in space

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind

Keys that jingle in your pocket

Words that jangle in your head

Why did summer go so quickly

Was it something that you said

Lovers walk along a shore

And leave their footprints in the sand

Is the sound of distant drumming

Just the fingers of your hand

Pictures hanging in a hallway

And the fragment of a song

Half remembered names and faces

But to whom do they belong

When you knew that it was over

You were suddenly aware

That the autumn leaves were turning

To the color of his hair

Like a circle in a spiral

Like a wheel within a wheel

Never ending or beginning

On an ever spinning reel

As the images unwind

Like the circles that you find

In the windmills of your mind

"Heroes and Friends" - Randy Travis

https://youtu.be/yUCBQeKOJv8

I ain't lived forever

But I've lived enough

I've learned to be gentle

And I've learned to be tough

I've found only two things

That last 'til the end

One is your heroes

The other's your friends

Your heroes will help you find good in yourself

Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else

They'll both stand beside you

Through thick and through thin

And that's how it goes with heroes and friends

I grew up with cowboys

I watched on TV

My friends and I

Sometimes pretended to be

Years have gone by

But now and again

My heart rides the range

With my heroes and friends

Your heroes will help you find good in yourself

Your friends won't forsake you for somebody else

They'll both stand beside you

Through thick and through thin

And that's how it goes with heroes and friends

"I'm Not Your Hero" - Tegan and Sara

Standing where I am now

Standing up at all

I was used to feeling like

I was never gonna see myself

At the finish line

Hanging on to parts of me

Hanging on at all

I was used to seeing

No future in my sight line

Sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me

Send all those villains after me

[CHORUS]

I'm not their hero

But that doesn't mean that I wasn't brave

I never walked the party line

Doesn't mean that I was never afraid

I'm not your hero

But that doesn't mean

We're not one and the same

Feeling like I am now

Lighting up the hall

I was used to standing

In the shadow of a damaged heart

Learning all I know now

Losing all I did

I never used to feel like

I'd be standing so far ahead

Sometimes it feels what I recovered you lost

Sending your peaceful loss to me

[CHORUS]

Sometimes it feels like

The side that I'm on

Plays the toughest hand

Holds the longest stand

Sometimes it feels like

I'm all that they've got

It's so hard to know

I'm not what they want

[CHORUS]

I'll do my best to walk the finest line

Till I've had all that I can take

"All That I Am" - Parachute

Well the lights go down in Brooklyn

As she's walking out the door

Oh and they're lining up like soldiers

Going off to fight the war

And all the colors look like fireworks

In skies she knew before

But the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

Just take me away

Well the fog it sits like blankets

And it's drowning out the glow

You can hear voices loud

And singing out a song nobody knows

But to her it sounds like home

But the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

Just take me away from all that I am

Just take me away from all that I am

Well the fog sits like blankets

And it smothers the glow

Cause the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

That the nights can't hide the days

That the tears roll down her face

And the light hits those eyes

As she's dying to say

Just take me away from all that I am 

"Who'll Stop The Rain"

Creedence Clearwater Revival

John Fogerty & Bob Seger

https://youtu.be/gMU5s-PDBac

Long as I remember

The rain been coming down

Clouds of mystery pouring

Confusion on the ground

Good men through the ages

Trying to find the sun

And I wonder still I wonder

Who'll stop the rain.

I went down Virginia

Seeking shelter from the storm

Caught up in the fable

I watched the tower grow

Five year plans and new deals

Wrapped in golden chains

And I wonder still I wonder

Who'll stop the rain

Heard the singers playing

How we cheered for more

The crowd had rushed together

Trying to keep warm

Still the rain kept pouring

Falling on my ears

And I wonder still I wonder

Who'll stop the rain

"Something Beautiful" - Great Big Sea

Hey You

You lost your only friend

You can't believe

Your broken heart will ever mend

But every mountain has its faces

That'd make you want to stop

On this so unwelcome journey

From the bottom to the top

[CHORUS]

You've got to move along

I believe

There's something beautiful to see

Move along

I believe

There's something beautiful

Just waiting for you and me

And I know you'll never count

The tears you've cried

Though you've asked a million questions

No one can tell you why

A single soul is chosen

To be the one put to the test

But there will be some consolation

For a heart that never rests

[CHORUS]

The years will make us older

The winters make us colder

And there's one more thing

I've come to know for sure

There's no bitterness that smolders

No chip on any shoulder

That a random act of kindness couldn't cure

Hey You

You lost your only friend

You can't believe

Your broken heart will ever mend

But every mountain has its faces

That'd make you want to stop

On this never ending journey

From the bottom to the top

[CHORUS]

I believe there's something beautiful

Just waiting for you and me

❤️❤️❤️

"It's Not" - Aimee Mann

https://youtu.be/-w3m69yNglw

I keep going round and round

On the same old circuit

A wire travels underground

To a vacant lot

Where something I can't see

Interrupts the current

And shrinks the picture

Down to a tiny dot

And from behind the screen

It can look so perfect

But it's not

So here I'm sitting in my car

At the same old stop light

I keep waiting for a change

But I don't know what

So red turns into green

Turning into yellow

But I'm just frozen here

On the same old spot

And all I have to do

Is to press the pedal

But I'm not

No, I'm not

People are tricky

You can't afford to show

Anything risky

Anything they don't know

The moment you try

Well, kiss it goodbye

So Baby, kiss me like a drug

Like a respirator

And let me fall into the dream

Of the astronaut

Where I get lost in space

That goes on forever

And you make all the rest

Just an afterthought

And I believe it's you

Who could make it better

Though it's not

No, it's not

No, it's not

"Lost And Running" - Powderfinger

Oh, I was sick and tired of waiting lost

And you were mad at me for so much more

I was bored listening to the same old chords

You would complain that I was never around

And we shouldn't hope

No, we shouldn't hope

If love is so easy then why am I stuck

If life is so smooth why can't I get enough

I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

Every day moves like a hurricane

It's dragging me around no matter what I say

Night time in the city streets I'm out of luck

The cobblestones are dark and wet there's no one I trust

And it comes around, yeah it comes around

Mr So-Easy, say where have you gone

I'm looking for somewhere that I can lay down my arms

I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

No, I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

Somewhere I'll lay down my arms

I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

I'm taking my time I'll let it float away

Spare me no lies and you got nothing to say

The further we slip into this rabbit hole

The harder we look for a new place to go

Oh, I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

No, I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

I'm still lost and running

Somewhere I'll lay down my arms

Oh, I'm still lost and running

I can't get enough

Well, the harder we look for the new place to go

Yeah, the harder we look for the new place to go

Where can I lay down my arms

Where can I lay down my arms

"Fly By Night" - Rush

https://youtu.be/QtM_H6keJv8

Why try

I know why

This feeling inside me

Says it's time I was gone

Clear head, new life ahead

It's time I was king

And not just one more pawn

[CHORUS]

Fly by night

Away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night

Goodbye my dear

My ship isn't coming

And I just can't pretend

Moon rise

Thoughtful eyes

Staring back at me

From the window beside

No fright or hindsight

Leaving behind

That empty feeling inside

[CHORUS]

Start a new chapter

I find what I'm after

It's changing every day

The change of a season

Is enough of a reason

To want to get away

Quiet and pensive

My thoughts apprehensive

The hours drift away

Leaving my homeland

Playing a lone hand

My life begins today

Fly by night

Away from here

Change my life again

Fly by night

Goodbye my dear

My ship isn't coming

And I just can't pretend

"Understanding (Wash it all Away)" - Evanescence

~~  You hold the answers deep within your own mind

Consciously, you've forgotten it

That's the way the human mind works

Whenever something is too unpleasant

Too shameful for us to entertain

We reject it

We erase it from our memories

But the imprint is always there ~~

The pain that grips you

The fear that binds you

Releases life in me

In our mutual shame

We hide our eyes

To blind them from the truth

That finds a way from who we are

Please don't be afraid

When the darkness fades away

The dawn will break the silence

Screaming in our hearts

My love for you still grows

This I do for you

Before I try to fight the truth

My final time

~~ We're supposed to try and be real

And I feel alone and we're not together

And that is real ~~

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you

Listening to you breathe

The life that flows inside of you

Burns inside of me

Hold and speak to me

Of love without a sound

Tell me you will live through this

And I will die for you

Cast me not away

Say you'll be with me

For I know I cannot

Bear it all alone

~~  You're not alone, honey

Never, never ~~

Can't fight it all away

Can't hope it all away

Can't scream it all away

It just won't fade away, No

Can't wash it all away

Can't wish it all away

Can't cry it all away

Can't scratch it all away

Can't fight it all away

Can't hope it all away

Can't scream it all away

~~  But the imprint is always there

Nothing is ever really forgotten ~~

~~  God, please don't hate me

Because I'll die if you do

Because I'll die if you do

Because I'll die if you do ~~

Because I'll die if you do

"Sweet Disposition" - The Temper Trap

Sweet disposition

Never too soon

Oh reckless abandon

Like no-one's watching you

A moment of love

A dream, a laugh

A kiss, a cry

Our rights

Our wrongs

A moment of love

A dream, a laugh

A moment of love

A dream, a laugh

Just stay there

Cause I'll keep coming over

While our blood's still young

It's so young, it runs

I won't stop till it's over

Won't stop to surrender

Songs of desperation

I'll play them for you

A moment of love

A dream, a laugh

A kiss, a cry

Our rights

Our wrongs

A moment of love

A dream, a laugh

A moment of love

A dream, a laugh

Stay there

Cause I'll keep coming over

And while our blood's still young

It's so young, it runs

I won't stop till it's over

Won't stop to surrender

I won't stop till it's over

I won't stop till it's over

I won't stop till it's over

I won't stop to surrender
