worth a listen

these songs have been on repeat in my head these days, thought i would share...




Falling Slowly
Glen Hansard


I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me
And I can't react
And games that never amount
To more than they're meant
Will play themselves out

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you have a choice
You've made it now

Falling slowly, eyes that know me
And I can't go back
Moods that take me and erase me
And I'm painted black
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It's time that you won

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now

Take this sinking boat and point it home
We've still got time
Raise your hopeful voice you had a choice
You've made it now
Falling slowly sing your melody
I'll sing along






Waiting for a Superman (Is it getting heavy??)
The Flaming Lips


Asked you a question
I didn't need you to reply
Is it gettin' heavy?
But they'll realize
Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Is it overwhelming
To use a crane to crush a fly?
It's a good time for Superman
To lift the sun into the sky

'Cause it's gettin' heavy
Well I thought it was already as heavy
As can be

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

Is it gettin' heavy?
Well I thought it was already as heavy as can be.

Tell everybody
Waitin' for Superman
That they should try to hold on
Best they can
He hasn't dropped them
Forgot them
Or anything
It's just too heavy for Superman to lift

deep

today it sank deep, the realization
that three years isn't really enough
when your world has been transformed
and life has been turned upside down

so i wept
deeply
because i was
broken hearted
tired
scared
uncertain

today it sank deep, the realization
that all i have come to know and believe
the community that i've grown to love
will all be over in just five months
and i don't know what to do with that

nothing left

i've got nothing left
to give
to offer
to try
and i don't think i even care

it's the same thing
over and
over and
over again
so why should i care

nothing changes regardless of
what i do
what i say
what i try
i just want it all to be done
