Ali Murray - Ghost Of An Ageless Woman
I slept all through the summer
to wake up at your feet
I stole a glance around me
and drank the scenery
I somehow ceased to grow
I fell on darker days
In time we are the same
in completely different ways…
Jónsi - Grow Till Tall
You’ll know, when’s time to go on
You’ll really want to grow and grow till tall
They all, in the end, will fall
Grow till tall, they all, in the end, will fall
They, in the end, will turn and fall
You’ll know, you’ll go
You’ll know, you’ll know
You’ll learn…
Atoms For Peace - Before Your Very Eyes…
Look out of the window
What is passing you by.
If you really want this bad enough.
You’re young and good looking
The keys to the kingdom.
Sooner or later
And before your very eyes
Old soul on young shoulders.
How you’ll look when you’re older.
Time’s fickle card game with you and I.
You have to take your chances
The book of forgiveness.
Sooner or later
And before your very eyes
Jason Molina (R.I.P) - It’s Easier Now
Behind these eyes a desert spirit
Sea serpent heart inside a sunken ship
I finally got it
All parts wrong
I didn’t know how long it would take to do it
Behind these eyes
Dead grey mule
Torn apart moon in an empty room
It’s easier now
And I just say I got better
It’s easier now
That I just say I got better
It’s easier when I just admit
Death comes now
And the next minute
The next minute
The next minute
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Behind these eyes
Ali Murray - Not In Love (Crystal Castles cover)
One of the best covers I’ve ever heard. Heartbreaking.
My Bloody Valentine - New You
Too close when it’s really with me
Something comes and pins me to the sky to come
Too slow when the moon is with you
I’ll be too and wish you up with me to come soon
Maybe we can say, holding you for the way
Come back, it’s not tomorrow ‘cause
Always today fun we know
Just like I knew you wanted me to do
What can I say, how can I feel too? All kinds of new you
Forseti & Death In June - Black Jena
In this petal of storms here
I will whisper to you this
Phoney paternalism has bitten the dust
What shall be will be and must
Many shades of rose have fled the nest
Behind a vast amass emptiness
They were stupid, blind, not even our kind
A guest and a loss and a ghost
A villain thanks the most
Better an end with fear than a fear without end
This time the victim is desire
Here in Black Jena
Better an end with fear than a fear without end
A guest and a loss and a ghost
A villain thanks the most
They were stupid, blind, not even our kind
This time the victim is desire
Here in Black Jena
I am not what you see or must be
This mask is you masked eternally
Tom Waits - Downtown Train
Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the night-time mist
I climb through the window and down to the street
I’m shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full with all of those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds
Well you wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that will ever capture your heart
They’re just thorns without the rose
Be careful of them in the dark
Oh, if I was the one you chose to be your only one
Oh baby can’t you hear me now, can’t you hear me now?
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Every night it’s just the same, you leave me lonely now
I know your window and I know it’s late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four-way
You watch them as they fall, oh baby, they all have heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, but they’ll never win you back
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Where every night, every night it’s just the same, oh baby
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train
All of my dreams they fall like rain, oh baby on a downtown train
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
Where every night, every night it’s just the same, oh baby
Will I see you tonight on a downtown train?
All of my dreams just fall like rain, all on a downtown train
All on a downtown train, all on a downtown train
All on a downtown train, a downtown train
Swans - You Fucking People Make Me Sick
Now diamonds are falling
Through a new wound in the sky
Obsessions, pink children
They are laid out in a line
They are screaming, they are polluting
They are demanding their life.
These wrong feelings, they are calling
The red leper of time
I love you, I need you
Oh show me how to shine
I love you, young flower
Now give me, what is mine
Ali Murray - Sober Moon
I’m sorry I was never there
I was not old enough to care
I have nothing left to lose
so I’ll dream of you
beneath the sober moon…
In the stillness of a photograph
In a hazy memory
I remember you way back then
silently watching over me
Long ago in a peaceful place
Burning out the hours down to the core
I think of you and smile
and you remain unknowing, forever more
Now time casts a shadow over my body
and the machines of age have taken my mind
I’ve worn this mask for so long
It’s become to hard to remove, I find
The years have been harsh and unforgiving
I’ve been blanketed in its cold embrace
I’ll blow a kiss to the stars above
and leave without a trace
I watch all the events of my life occur
but I comprehend nothing
I feel the world shed its skin and brim with tears
but I learn nothing at all
The moon shines down
on the dark and lonely streets
Tonight our fears have subsided
and our lies remain discreet
It’s so quiet now I can almost hear your thoughts
lost in corridors and ocean depths
and there are many cracks in the wall
where I solemnly slept
These days are comatose
and so much has come and gone
My throat constricts and my heart swells
as time carries on…
Nicolai Dunger - I’d Rather Die
I´d rather die than to have you around.
May trouble come, may trouble go
far across the sea - without you and me.
But it’s ok, if you want to hold my hand
When it gets dark, I’ll leave a spark
upon your weary sky for you to rest and find.
everlasting rest.
For For that’s what you miss in our love
I know that’s what you miss
I’d rather die than say goodbye
you will be strong, but not for long
far across the sea, our hands are joined and free
In an everlating prayer
for those who are lost and lonley
My love, that’s what we are
everlasting rest
everlating pryer - that’s what we need
Jesu - Friends Are Evil
And all the stones I’ve thrown
they come back twice as strong.
And all the stones i’ve thrown, tell me that nothing lasts
And all stones you’ve thrown,
come from your highest throne.
Pass them on to me below,
they remind me nothing lasts
The Cure - To Wish Impossible Things
Remember how it used to be
When the sun would fill up the sky
Remember how we used to feel
Those days would never end
Those days would never end
Remember how it used to be
When the stars would fill the sky
Remember how we used to dream
Those nights would never end
Those nights would never end
It was the sweetness of your skin
It was the hope of all we might have been
That fills me with the hope to wish
Impossible things
But now the sun shines cold
And all the sky is grey
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
And all I wish
Is gone away
All I wish
Is gone away
Of The Wand And The Moon - Time Time Time
So I draw my secrets, a flame so sweet
And I lose my breath in those crystal eyes
How time flies - and how things turn
A change of winds, a stroke of wings
And a pain so grave, only gods can touch
How time dies - and how it hurts
So I draw my secrets, secrets so sweet
And I lose my faith in those dimlit eyes
How time flies - and how it burns
