Bound to Ramble - John Butler Trio

Steal It - John Butler Trio

You got your mask on, it's only your cold eyes I see.
No, you did not break or enter
but when you're leaving you take everything.
You're loot is packed and ready
the kids are buckled in and weep,
And now I'm curled up in this empty shell
where our home it used to be.

So tell me why'd you steal it all from me
why'd you steal it all from me girl
why'd you steal it all from me
why'd you steal it all from me girl

You opened up my windows
I gave you every key to every lock.
An yes you opened 'em up one by one
Got to the end and you stepped on my heart.
You were wearing gloves when we first met
I shoulda known you were staking me out,
Yes I thought your love came freely
and now I'm paying and there is now doubt.

Because way up, way up in the sky
I don't want to fall from this deftly height
Why can't we make up, wake up tell me why
Why can't we just hold on to what we made together
I thought we'd never sever girl, instead...

You go steal it all from me
Steal it all from me girl
Why'd you steal it all from me
Steal it all from me girl, steal it all from me
Why'd you steal it all from me girl
Why'd you steal it all from me
Why'd you steal it all form me girl

August 19th

August 19th, Vancouver, Raining...

A city overrun with people, rich and homeless alike. Starbucks on every corner, every corner that doesn’t already have Blendz on it that is. Everything that you want to see is just a turn to your left, and everything you don’t, to your right. Ying & Yang. Extreme opposites containing each other in embryonic form.
Its raining, but its not cold, even though we're under dressed, man I hope my cell doesn’t get wet. It would be impossible to survive in cotton.
So far from home, but not with out friends, close ones, and not so close ones.

Somebody turns on the speakers, somebody turns on the tap, 15 steps ahead and the paradoxes continue.
There there, the morning bell will ring, and by the time you realize all I need is where I end and you begin, you'll be with the talk show host, and I’ll be nude. In the deepest ocean the bottom of the sea. Your eyes they turn me. Why should I stay here? Why should I stay? Your videotape. I find you, karma finds us. More pain through technology, will the jigsaw fall into place? Or is it just exit music for the bodysnatchers? Somebody turns off the speakers, it doesn’t get quite, we turn up the tap in our house of cards. Optimistic that everything is in its right place, that the reckoner is aware that 2+2=5. Rain down, rain down, from a great height, from a great height... God loves his children.

-Graham Balon

"Until one is commited, there is hesitancy, a chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definately commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never have otherwise occured. A whole stream of events issue from that decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would come his way if he was still doing his thing."

William H Murray

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us... You playing small does nothing to serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to manifest the glory that is within us. And as we let our light shine we unconciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated form our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Marianne Williamson

Say Hello, Wave Goodbye - David Gray

Pine for the Cedar - Dan Mangan

she might be wearing a green chemise and a hat that she bought ’cause it matches her jeans and the water she drinks, well it comes from the stream by the house she might win in that hospital lottery. and i might be stumbling and cursing them all when she picks me up from the place that we both call disaster relief, for the rent must be paid by the first of the month, or in my case fifteenth. this is good. but as far as i can tell, it’s still heavy as hell when it’s good. and i do like the road but i’d be better at home, i will pine for the oak streets, pine for the cedars and you. bean around, i suppose, i have chatted and chewed, i have lugg’d my guitar to the nice cafe blues and when i come home i am coming home to this street and these avenues. this is good. but as far as i can tell, it’s still heavy as hell when it’s good. and i do like the road but i’d be better at home, i will pine for the oak streets, pine for the cedars and you.

The possibility I am creating for my life and myself, is the purpose of being powerful, creative, and free.

My purpose is to spread ideas through my writing and to change the lives of everyone around me for the better.

Fixin' to Die - G. Love's new album produced by the Avett Brothers



Words can not describe how excited I am for this.

Brother Down - Sam Roberts




One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see
Got my brother down 'cause it's nothing to me
Everyone’s saying that it's wrong to cheat
But there’s no other way to get my life on easy street

Someone else telling you what you’re living for
Been knocking you down now you're looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they’re bringing you war

Rich man crying 'cause his money is time
Poor man smiling 'cause he knows he ain’t blind
There’s a man over there says he’s tougher than me
But I got eyes that can see through fantasy

I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by

Take it all back 'cause it don’t mean nothing
If you give it away and you’re looking for something back
Wake up every morning and there’s nothing there
No reason to die but no reason to care

Someone else telling you what your living for
been knocking you down now your looking for more
The only sound you hear is a closing door
Been looking for peace but they're bringing you war

One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see
Got my brother down 'cause it's nothing to me
Rich man crying crying cause his money is time
Poor man smiling cause he knows he ain't blind

I think my life is passing me by
I think my life is passing me by

One life to live but we're doing it wrong you see

Fleet Foxes - Blogotheque



This first song makes me feel like I am the only person left on the face of the earth.

Too Afraid to Love You - The Black Keys

My gears they grind
More each day
And I feel like
They're gonna grind away

And the city blocks
They drive me wild
They're never ending
Mile after mile

I just don't know what to do
I'm too afraid to love you

It's heaven on earth
In her embrace
Her gentle touch
And her smiling face

I'm just one wishing
That I was a pair
With someone
Oh somewhere

All those sleepless nights
And all those wasted days
I wish loneliness would leave me
But I think he's here to stay
What more can I do
I'm wringing myself dry
And I can't afford to lose
One more teardrop from my eye

The Space Between - Dave Matthews Band

You cannot quit me so quickly
Is no hope in you for me
No corner you could squeeze me
But I got all the time for you, love

The Space Between
The tears we cry
Is the laughter keeps us coming back for more
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

But will I hold you again?
These fickle, fuddled words confuse me
Like 'Will it rain today?'
Waste the hours with talking, talking
These twisted games we're playing

We're strange allies
With warring hearts
What a wild-eyed beast you'll be
The Space Between
The wicked lies we tell
And hope to keep safe from the pain

Will I hold you again?
Will I hold...

Look at us spinning out in
The madness of a roller coaster
You know you went off like a devil
In a church in the middle of a crowded room
All we can do, my love
Is hope we don't take this ship down

The Space Between
Where you're smiling high
Is where you'll find me if I get to go
The Space Between
The bullets in our firefight
Is where I'll be hiding, waiting for you
The rain that falls
Splash in your heart
Ran like sadness down the window into your room
The Space Between
Our wicked lies
Is where we hope to keep safe from pain

Take my hand
'Cause we're walking out of here
Oh, right out of here
Love is all we need, dear

The Space Between
What's wrong and right
Is where you'll find me hiding, waiting for you
The Space Between
Your heart and mine
Is the space we'll fill with time
The Space Between...


I used to hate this song. Man is it fun to be wrong.

Falling - Jay Z

Rye Whiskey - Tex Ritter

Jack o' Diamonds, Jack o' Diamonds and I know you of old
You've robbed my poor pockets of silver and gold
It's a whiskey, you villain, you've been my downfall
You've kicked me, you've cuffed me, but I love you for all

It's a whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I will die

I'll eat when I'm hungry, I'll drink when I'm dry
If the hard times don't kill me, I'll lay down and die
I'll tune up my fiddle and I 'll rosin my bow
I'll make myself welcome, wherever I go

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die

Beefsteak when I'm hungry red liquor when I'm dry
Greenbacks when I'm hard up and religion when I die
They say I drink whiskey, my money's my own
All them that don't like me, can leave me alone

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die

Sometimes I drink whiskey, sometimes I drink rum
Sometimes I drink brandy, at other times none
But if I get boozey, my whiskey's my own
And them that don't like me, can leave me alone

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die

If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom to get one sweet suck
But the ocean ain't whiskey and I ain't a duck
So we'll round up the cattle and then we'll get drunk

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If the whiskey don't kill me, I'll live till I die

My foot's in my stirrup, my bridle's in my hand
I'm leaving sweet Lillie, the fairest in the land
Her parents don't like me, they say I'm too poor
They say I'm unworthy to enter her door

It's a whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, well, I think I will die

Sweet milk when I'm hungry, rye whiskey when I'm dry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die
I'll buy my own whiskey, I'll make my own stew
If I get drunk, madam, it's nothing to you

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die

I'll drink my own whiskey, I'll drink my own wine
Some ten thousand bottles I've killed in my time
I've no wife to quarrel, no babies to bawl
The best way of living is no wife at all

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If a tree don't fall on me, I'll live till I die

Way up on Clinch Mountain I wander alone
I'm as drunk as the devil, oh, let me alone
You may boast of your knowledge an' brag of your sense
'Twill all be forgotten a hundred years hence

Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, you're no friend to me
You killed my poor daddy, God damn you, try me

Stolen Away On 55th & 3rd - Dave Matthews Band

Hello again
Seem like forever between now and then
You look the same
I mean you look different but you haven't changed

Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you laughin' and I was afraid that I'd get in the way

I did not think I would see you again
So how have you been?
Do you remember, lose everything

Funny I think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again

Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
Saw you there dancin' but I was afraid I might get in the way

I did not think I would see you again

Funny to think how the time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Funny the feeling when forever ends
Stole me away
First time I saw you, you did me that way
What should I say?
I saw you there dancin', well I was afraid I might get in the way

Never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
(Been) watchin' the years as they trickle away

It's everything, how time gets away
Funny how you take me right back again
Steal me away

It's like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What should I say?
See you here standin', and I am afraid I might get in the way

I never thought I would see you again
How have you been?
Do you remember I mean everything?

You steal me away
Like the first time I saw you, you do me that way
What can I say?
That's you here standin', well I am afraid I might get in your way.

The Privateers - Andre Bird



I want my sister to marry this man.

Pyramid Song - Radiohead

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cards
AND All the figures I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black-eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cards
AND All the figures i used to see

All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

Raw Sugar - Metric

Sort of wonder why No one said a word
Don't you like it on the sly?
Don't you like it till it hurts?
Have I been on your mind? What's a voice without a song?
Something in your head You've been fighting all along...

I don't want to say it, The news is not so good
We'll never get away, And even if we could
We'd just play the tambourine Around an open flame
Oversleep and burn To be back in the game

'Cause summer never comes Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave
I pay to call home
(same black day, high rise grave)

No I'm not complaining, Yes it could be worse
Ferment on the wish bone, Match the lips to the purse
Neighborhood's a runway, Fry the ass and thighs
Dirty denim dealers, pushed behind the ire's

And summer never comes Nowhere near high noon
And winter never comes Nor the harvest moon

Raw sugar
I don't want to die living in a high rise grave
I pay to call home
(same black day, high rise grave)

Still I wear the red dress, Paint my toes and twirl
Take it back to old times,when I was still a girl
'Cause now I'm all vavoom boys, Cootchie Cootchie Coo
Sort of wonder why I missed a kiss for you

'Cause summer never comes (same black day, high rise grave)
Winter never comes (same black day, high rise grave)

Texico Bitches - Broken Social Scene



I got a serious man crush on Patrick Watson.

The Stone - Dave Matthews Band

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Now I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear

Oh, Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh, but this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake
And now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I go a long way
To bury the past for I don't want to pay
Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock and do over again
Now I'm just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
And oh it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and of bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Tell me you will.


Bold awareness. Makes my Heart tear up, but makes my face smile.

Choices - Joey Hundert

Embodiment of consciousness can also occur as a grand receiving and allowing of all that is, while clearly tracking a different path. There is a gloriousness about your choices, and if they are held as just-fascinating-choices, then all that can happen is appreciation. If anything other than appreciation is happening, then meaning is being created - the sort of meaning that can only make things more dense. There is the meaning that is required for understanding, and then there is the meaning that is borne of interpretation. I am fully trying to wrap up all the interpretations in my life so that choice can just be choice and nothing else. That way, it is the most inoffensive thing in the world to provide leadership-through-life-lived. If others are inspired, FANTASTIC. However, if not, FANTASTIC.


Thank you Joey! Thank you thank you thank you!

World Container - The Tragically Hip

There’s a world container with your name on it
and a billion ways to go berserk
when the country quits on you
it must be dinner
and the Himmler on this one is, there’s no dessert
(he’s the one who couldn’t imagine
all the people living life in peace, yoo hoo oo oo oo)
Good news! You get to vanish
go to Cleveland, be an indie smash
the good news is now you’re smaller
the bad news is you can be smaller than that
Go suck some souls, be a reader, get used
laugh at a funeral or two
laugh and laugh til all the chameleons turn black
laugh and laugh til you’re told, ‘Please don’t come back’
then fake incredulous, say, ‘I just can’t believe!
How’d it get this late so early?’
say, ‘Ain’t life a grand’ and ‘I’m in awe of y’all’
then drop into your haunted bunk
go to your touchless times
out where the water’s drying
go past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
what you’ll find there are all flaws in progress
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
yea, all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget

Yea, I‘ve faked incredulous, said, ‘I just can’t believe.
How’d it get this late so early’
said, ‘Ain’t life a grand’ and ‘I’m in awe of y’all’
I’ve dropped into my haunted bunk
been to the touchless times,
out where the water’s drying
been past the ‘No Attractions Past This Point’ sign
what we have here are all flaws in progress
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget
where all songs are one song and that song is, Don’t Forget

Rebellion - Arcade Fire with an amazing firework show


Montreal is hosting the 2010 International Firework Show, just so happened to be an Arcade Fire show going on. I watched this firework performance from a rail road track in Vieux-Montreal just steps away from the mighty Saint Laruent. Surrounded by thousands of people during the spectacular 30 minute performance. Also happened to be the night before two of my best friends got married. Not a bad night.

Orca - Wintersleep Live at Starlite



Best Wintersleep song. Gives me goosebumps every time. Pretty epic capture on this vid. I went out to an Oilers' game the night of the show. I didn't have tickets(idiot) but I decided I would chance it and see if anywhere left at the door. No Luck. I could hear the music from outside the old brick venue, it was raining slightly but unseasonably warm out for an Alberta evening in October. So I hung around outside with the smokers and listened, until a couple came out looking rather unhappy. I asked them if I could buy their tickets tickets off them if they were not returning. They were awesome and just gave me a ticket for free. So I managed to catch half the show. This was the encore. Best night alone in the city I can remember. Plus I didn't pay for parking at either venue!

Volcanoes - Matt Good



Matt Good's latest album Vancouver is blowing me away. I wrote it off way to fast when it first came out. 5 stars. Also I love this weird picture that the person who loaded this up to youtube chose.

On Nights like Tonight - Matt Good

On nights like tonight when no one's around
I put on the record, the record I found
When I was a kid and the world was a town
And Heartbreaker weren't nothing painful

Carry me Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
And all is forgiven

On nights like tonight when no one's around
I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud
Truth be told I don't know who's at the helm
But just sit tight
I'll make my way to you

If I'm not on time
Remember that I tried

Carry me Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
It's all the same monster that nobody faces
Where all is forgiven

On nights like tonight when no one's around
I turn off the lights and I float off the ground
And I smile like I used to when you were around
But truth be told I don't know who's at the helm
But just sit tight
I'll make my way to you
I'll find a way to get to you

I don't know who's at the helm
But just sit tight
And I'll find a way to get to you

Your Rocky Spine - Great Lake Swimmers - Lyrics

I was lost in the lakes
And the shapes that your body makes
That your body makes, that your body makes
That your body makes

The mountains said I could find you here
They whispered the snow and the leaves in my ear
I traced my finger along your trails
Your body was the map, I was lost in it

Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you’re mine
Floating over your rocky spine
The glaciers made you, and now you’re mine

I was moving across your frozen veneer
The sky was dark but you were clear
Could you feel my footsteps
And would you shatter, would you shatter, would you

And with your soft fingers between my claws
Like purity against resolve
I could tell, then and there, that we were formed from the clay
And came from the rocks for the earth to display

They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind blows a venomous rage through your hair
They told me to be careful up there
Where the wind rages through your hair

Can't get it out of my head. Wouldn't have it any other way.

Everything is Automatic - Matthew Good Band

Miss my head, miss my heart, miss my lungs
Be what you want to be
Watch what you want to see
Killed for fun
Down a hole, up a rope
Down some pills, up some hope
This karma machine only takes quarters
New age soldier, new age soldier

Everybody's all right
Everything is automatic
And everybody's all right
Everything is skin deep

Everybody's all right
And everything is automatic
Everybody's all right
And everything is skin deep, me

Say hey, say hey, say how ya doing
Say hey, say hey, say how ya doing

I miss my lazy boy
I miss my TV
I miss myself
Do you miss your lazy boy
Do you miss your TV
Do you miss yourself

Everybody's all right
Everything is automatic
Everybody's all right
Everything is skin deep

Everybody's all right
Everything is automatic
Everybody's' all right
Everything is skin deep, me

It's always what I wanted
It's always what I wanted
It's always what I

Killed for fun
It's fucking funny don't you think
One day you'll decompose
And you wake up and those
Those birds are singing
Those birds are singing

It's always what I wanted
It's always what I wanted
It's always what I
It's always what I

Everything is skin deep


Just a Matt Good day I guess. Heard it in the car, and wailed along with it.

Soul To Squeeze - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze.

Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean.

Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Today love smiled on me.
It took away my pain said please
All that you had to free
You gotta let it be oh yeah.


Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Oh, so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction.

It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more.

Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad

I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I wont regret it never.


Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.

Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time.

Cold Fame - Band of Skulls

What's the point of fame if it's been abused?
What's a kid like me even got to lose?
Here I am on your bed again
It's too big for the room it's in.

Watch your face and laugh just a little bit,
Everybody knows that you're good at it,
But nothin' hurts like an answer phone
Drinkin' some, wakin' up alone.

Maybe if I try just a little more,
I can take myself from this dirty floor
and walk through buildings of elegance
Just like you are intelligent

But still I fall from grace with this microphone
How'd you find yourself if you never roam?

But, Certainly, I'm indebted baby,
Certainly, certainly, yeah.

I know my place
but it don't know me

I know my place
but it don't know me

No one wants to hear that you're breakin' up,
It wasn't long ago we said 'start me up'
Now all your dreamin' will have to wait
While you discern, you'll anticipate

Play your 45 with this late at night
Open all the windows, turn out the light
Mysterious creatures will fill the room
A midnight show just put on for you.

But still i fall from grace with this microphone
How'd you find yourself if you never roam?

Certainly, I'm indebted baby,
Certainly, certainly, yeah.

I know my place
but it don't know me

I know my place
but it don't know me

Cold fame in my brain, but
It's okay cuz i know it's the best for me

Austin City Limits














For 35 years now PBS has been bringing on the jams. Tonight's ACL episode will be one to remember. Super group Them Crooked Vultures, made up of John Paul Jones, Josh Homme, and Davel Grohl will be be performing. If you miss it on its scheduled time, do not worry for PBS is legit and have the all full episodes available online.

Standing on Gaurd for Thee























Looking forward to the 22 hours a day of Olympic coverage. I couldn't be happier with the Canadian sports media juggernauts deal to help make this the most covered Olympics ever. Not to mention how awesome the CTV 2010 website. All coverage is available live online. Now if only we could get a reliable hydraulic pump.

Roll Away Your Stone - Mumford & Sons

Roll away your stone I will roll away mine
Together we can see what we will find
Don't leave me alone at this time
For I am afraid of what I will discover inside

You told me that I wouldn't find a home
Beneath the fragile substance of my soul
And I have filled this void with things unreal
And all the while my character it steals

Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
Yet it dominates the things I see

It seems that all my bridges have been burned
But you say 'That's exactly how this grace thing works’
It's not the long walk home that will change this heart
But the welcome I receive with every start

Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
And yet it dominates the things I see
Darkness is a harsh term don't you think
And yet it dominates the things I see

Stars hide your fires
For these here are my desires
And I won't give them up to you this time around
And so I will be found
With my stake stuck in the ground
Marking the territory of this newly impassioned soul

And you, you've gone too far this time
You have neither reason nor rhyme
With which to take this soul that is so rightfully mine

Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More is ruling my life and my heart.

The Cave - Mumford & Sons

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

The Tragically Hip - Lake Fever

We can take a bit of a breather.
We can skip to the practical part.
We can skip to the Time of Neither,
when we’re together and even
when we’re apart.
I’ll tell you a story about the Lake Fever or
we can skip to the coital fury.
You didn’t say yes or no, neither.
You whispered, hurry.

We can take it a little bit further.
We can stick to the after-effects part.
’Not trying to make you a believer,
don’t wanna a lil’ piece of your heart.
Just telling you a story about the Lake fever
or we can skip to a neutral fury.
You didn’t say yes or no neither.
You whispered, hurry.
want to be a nobody without peer.
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone.
want to be your wheezing screen door.
want to be your stars of Algonquin.
want to be your roaring floorboard.
want to break the hearts of everyone.
and cause discontent until They,
ceasing their investigation,
bring back the days events,
good citezins and time well spent,
til we're talking in whispers again.
Until we're talking in whispers again

That equals 1,574 deaths.

You Never Know

Sitting still as stone watching - watching
People walking by you wondering why
No one ever stops to talk or thinks about it – if they ever did
What if God shuffled by?

One day we might see
Doing not a thing
Breathing just to breathe
We might find some reason

But rushing around seems what’s wrong with the world
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead
Dream

Lying on the roof counting
The stars that fill the sky I wonder if
Someone in the heavens looking back down on me – I’ll never know
So much space to believe

Funny when you’re small
The moon follows the car
There’s no one but you see
Hey, the moon is chasing me

I worried if I looked away she’d be gone
Don’t lose the dreams inside your head
They’ll only be there til you’re dead
Dream

Walking through the wood
No cares in the world
The world has come to play
She’s all mine just for a day

There’s not a moment to lose in the game
Don’t let the troubles in your head
Steal too much time you’ll soon be dead
So play

All fall down
It won’t be so long now
Out of the darkness comes light like a flash
You think you can you think you can
Sometimes that is the problem
Dream little darling dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb

But everyday should be a good day to die
Oh all fall down
It won’t be too long now
Every fire dies
I find it hard to explain how I got here
I think I can I think I can
Then again I will falter
Dream little darling dream

Spinning on the wind
The leaf fell from the limb


You Never Know
