Annnnd… we’re back!! This is the official re-launch of Music From Between The Worlds, and we have a jammed-packed episode filled with upbeat, groovy tunes to help bring that warm Spring to your step and to your boo-tay! Because of this official re-launch, I’m counting the original 5 episodes as practice episodes, and this is officially Season 1, Episode 1 (101).
A nice surprise addition to this podcast is our first giveaway!! Anji Bee and Ryan Lum of Lovespirals generously shared an autographed disc and classic postcard to MFBTW to give away to one of you 5 wonderful listeners! LOL So if you are one of those sweet, patient, lenient, supportive listeners out there, just leave a comment and I’ll add your name to the contest! It’s going to be a simple drawing of a name, and whomever wins will have the CD, postcard, and an additional special gift from MFBTW snail-mailed directly to you! If you win, I will email you based on the email provided in the comments to get your mailing address. Drawing will be on March 17th!
By the way, this is my first podcast using my new, professional microphone, mixing board, and audio interface!! I don’t have a studio, so the sound is still quite trashy, but it is warmer than the original 5 episodes. I’ll get this figured out at some point and give you a really great show. For now, I apologize for some fumbling sounds (there’s a bad one in this episode), and bad mixing/fading at times. I’m still learning how to be a smooth host while multitasking, so forgive my bumbles. Listen closely for when I bang my own head on my microphone and try to continue as gracefully as I could. LOL
CORRECTION on the first song. It is a COVER, which I did not realize for the longest time, until I created the notes for the show! This lovely girl on YouTube with a channel called CATSWILLRULE did such a great cover of Gregory and The Hawk, I had no idea it wasn’t Meredith (the actual singer). I just thought it was a cool remix.
Enjoy the show!
SHOW NOTES
COVER of Gregory & The Hawk‘s -- Boat and Birds (remixed by drpepper21271282) performed by CATSWILLRULE
[CATSWILLRULE version (remixed) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVFy3fO03VM]
[Gregory and The Hawk (original version) (live) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIveV4VOmpw]
If you’ll be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
if you’ll be my boat
I’ll be your sea
a depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free
I live to make you free
but you can set sail to the west if you want to
and past the horizon till I can’t even see you
far from here where the beaches are wide
just leave me your wake to remember you by
if you’ll be my star
I’ll be your sky
you can hide underneath me and come out at night
when I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine
I live to let you shine
but you can skyrocket away from me
and never come back if you find another galaxy
far from here with more room to fly
just leave me your stardust to remember you by
stardust to remember you by
Au Revoire Simone -- Another Likely Story (Aeroplane Mix)
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MESdwdFY4iQ]
Don’t tell me
It’s another likely story
Could’ve pinned it on you from the start
Well I’m new here
Doesn’t mean I have to answer
Silly questions or a shot in the dark
You know I’m a child
I keep this alive
It gets harder
I remember to remember
Waking up again all over again
If there’s an echo
Repeat days I’d likely let go
And be the changes we are noticing
If we’re running wild
We keep this alive
{You know I’m a child
I keep this alive}
*remix version ends here*
Still i wonder
Sights around us fade and underneath
The ground shakes, things fall apart
And no other than the voice of one another
Keeps us safely moving on in the dark
You know I’m a child
I keep this alive

(Don’t stop)
(Don’t stop)
(Don’t stop)
I can’t stop ’cause what I got
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna keep on going (Don’t stop)
All I know is who I am
And I’ll never be afraid to show it (Don’t stop)
I won’t stop ’cause I’m on top
And you’re never gonna knock me off it
What I say and what I do
Are the same things, don’t you know it? (Don’t stop)
Oh, when your lights are low
No need to be afraid of the unknown
I’ll be the flame, you’ll be the fuel.
If you resist my kiss and miss my lips
You know you’ve crossed the line
You play by my rules.
Let’s go
You have no
Control
I said, oh
Wanna know

Don’t you stop, I know you won’t
‘Cause I’m gonna make you keep on moving
I dress up to dress you down
And I’m gonna keep the rhythm grooving (Don’t stop)
I got you set in my sight (Don’t stop)
I’m loaded, ready to fire (Don’t stop)
Wait til you’re in a safe place
And you know I won’t break your heart (Don’t stop)
Oh, when your lights are low
No need to be afraid of the unknown
I’ll be the flame, you’ll be the fuel.
If you resist my kiss and miss my lips
You know you’ve crossed the line
You play by my rules.
Let’s go
You have no
Control
I said, oh
Wanna know
Don’t stop
Let’s go
I said go
Oh oh
Let’s go
You have no
Control
Don’t underestimate me
Time after time
You will be the one to lose
Baby, I won’t bite
If you’re playing by my rules
Let’s go
You have no
Control
I said, oh
Wanna know
Don’t stop (you can’t stop me now)
Let’s go
I said go
Oh oh
Let’s go
You have no
Control

Dan Black -- Symphonies (feat. Kid Cudie)
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYxly14v5do]
[REMIX VERSION OF LYRICS]
Hey Mami…
Hmmmmmuaaahhhh
Yeah. ChhChhh
Mnnah nah nah
let’s go
Cudder
Hmmmmmuaaahhhh
Verse 1: (Kid Cudi)
Yeah, I’m here,
Super duper dooder-cud,
All up in the mix like yeah, What!
I stay blazed like brodies,
Even if I never said it you should prolly know this by now.
Ta-Dow, what they go and make up,
Every time I read about stupid sh*t they make up,
If I ever saw them, black dynamite ‘em,
Then they have a reason to say why they never like him.
The lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams come out.
Chorus:
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score adds up
Angels play
Let my lonliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see.
Verse 2: (Dan Black)
I lie down in the dust just under your eye
A scrap of paper, thin as vapour
Filling my clothes like smoke
A couple of the wires in my heart are broke
I throw, I miss, something, nothing but
Dreams, schemes, moments wasted
Taste that tasted
Fate I’m fated
Re-edited again then copy, pasted as…
The lights of a car go by in a stream
Seems like I stand pretty much unseen
But I open my eyes and beams come out
Chorus:
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score adds up
Angels play
Let my lonliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see.
You know.
Verse 3: (Kid Cudi)
I live, I live, I live, I live for symphonies.
I know that there’s some place just right for me.
I live, I live, I live, I live for symphonies.
Oooohh, I know that there’s some place just right for me. Yeah.
I’m in it, aint no need to seek it.
I am content,
Dream like content.
So unconscious, just me and my conscious.
I’m runnin with the mobb things,
lookin to do odd things.
Chorus:
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see
Score adds up
Angels play
Let my lonliness get blown away
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see.
Gimme, gimme, symphonies
Gimme more than the life I see.
Jonsi - Boy Lilikoi
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBgPmw3JCN4]
I want to be a lilikoi-boy-lilikoi
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl unafraid of all colour
You run, you’re free, you climb and dress trees -- You reignite
You growl, you howl, you show your teeth
You bite, it’s alright
Go, say no more, use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know who you are
Use your eyes, the world goes and flutters by
Use your eyes, you’ll know who you are
Why me, my boy, you burn so bright, do you illuminate?
One day you’re out, you give up the fight, you slow down heart-rate
We all grow old, use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know who you are
Use your life, the world goes and flutters by
Use your life, you’ll know who you are
Electricity wires are down, rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
And run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are……. (light)
You are……. (light)
I want to be a lilikoi-boy, you…
You grind your claws, you howl, you growl, unafraid of all colour
Electricity wires are down, rainbow colours fade into brown
I dreamt you were smiling, shifting for good
Courageous boy, now you are gone
You run past the years, no place to go
Your spirit is grand, so life goes on
You are……. (light)
You are……. (light)
Magic Wands -- Warrior (The XX Mix)
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaH3eZuDgj8]
[REMIX LYRICS]
Get down on the floor
like a snake you can slide
ever get the feeling when you’re the only one
I could love in the tribe
Get up off the floor
like a tiger you can climb
ever get the feeling when your the only one
I could love in the tribe
I can’t cool down
Get down on the floor
like a snake you can slide
ever get the feeling when you’re the only one
I could love in the tribe
Get up off the floor
like a tiger you can climb
ever get the feeling when your the only one
I could love in the tribe
I can’t cool down
The Gray Kid -- Happy Feet (feat. Chris Garneau on back vocals)
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lDH8uHnsYN4]
I will show you how to burn,
run, and waste, to fill up time
It might kill me,
but all I want
is to wake with you,
and eat and sleep and dream
well, you must have happy feet
because i know you love me
it’s so sad and plain to see
but it’s true
you should be with me
oh love love love
you must have happy feet
because I know you want me
it’s so sad and plain to see
but it’s true
you will be with me (you’ll see)
I’m not lonely
I’ve got you
and you’ve got me, eternally
climb inside you
work you out
work me in
work me in
work me in
All your gifts and adorations don’t add up
to fade draws love
how you thrill me
all I want is to wake with you,
and eat, and sleep, and dream
you must have happy feet
because i know you love me
it’s so sad and plain to see
but it’s true
you should be with me
oh love love love
you must have happy feet
because I know you want me now
it’s so sad and plain to see
but it’s true
you will be with me (you’ll see)
I’ll be hanging by neck with heaven’s thread
you’ll be hanging by my side when all is said
tell me you would feel alive when you were dead
I was alive when you were dead
I’ll be hanging by neck with heaven’s thread
you’ll be hanging by my side when all is said
tell me you would feel alive when you were dead
Oh love love love
Well I don’t have happy feet
because I know you love me
it’s so sad and plain to see
but it’s true
you will be with me (you’ll see)
My Favorite -- Le Monster (Phofo Mix)
[no video]
He looks like rain.
He is not mine.
I am indoors.
I think he crashed the car.
I flew through the glass.
I guess when it rains it pours.
He looks like rain.
He is not mine.
I am indoors.
I think he crashed the car.
I flew through the glass.
I guess when it rains it pours.
The streets were crawling with vampires,
because after your shelf life expires…
You’re not a kid, you’re a monster, a monster, a monster.
Singing “la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la”
until the fin du monde.
I miss my friends and I want to go home
and I am tired of taking pills to make me feel better.
I spent five years in the infirmary
but he never sent me letters.
He only sent me dirty polaroids.
“You’re not fucked up, you’re beautiful”
is what I dreamed he said.
As I played with myself in the hospital bed.
The halls were crawling with vampires,
‘cuz after your shelf life expires…
You’re not a kid, you’re a monster, a monster, a monster.
Singing “la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la”
until the fin du monde.
I miss my friends and I want to go home
and I am tired of taking pills to make me feel better.
I spent five years in the infirmary
but he never sent me letters.
He only sent me dirty polaroids.
I need something warm.

Bitter:Sweet -- The Mating Game
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdNg3EPciXw]
Dance with me across the ocean floor
Sail away to heaven’s open door
Step right up
you’re the next contestant
In this sweet charade
Take a number, wait while I twist your fate
On the mating game
Mating game
Hold me close enough to drink my rose
The devil in my pocket turned to gold
Sorry to warn you
you’re in a daze
Tonight I’ll love you, but tomorrow go away
Step right up
who’s the next contestant
In this sweet charade?
Take a number, wait while I tease you sane
On the mating game
Mating game
Marina and the Diamonds -- I Am Not A Robot (Penguin Prison Mix)
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_oMD6-6q5Y]
You’ve been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you’re just a little baby
It’s okay to say you’ve got a weak spot
You don’t always have to be on top
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you’re not
You’re vulnerable, you’re vulnerable
You are not a robot
You’re loveable, so loveable
But you’re just troubled
Guess what? I’m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I’m not a robot, a robot
You’ve been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don’t pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don’t be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I’m vulnerable, I’m vulnerable
I am not a robot
You’re loveable, so loveable
But you’re just troubled
Guess what? I’m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I’m not a robot, a robot
((Can you teach me how to feel real?))
((Can you turn my power on?))
Guess what? I am not a robot….
Guess what? I’m not a robot….a robot….
Lovespirals - Home
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b1FlONLlGY8]
Traveled to the mountains
Down into the valleys
Drove from coast to coast
And when I had returned
This is what I learned
The thing I love the most
Is to be home, home, home, home
Set out in search of romance
All across this country
Ran from man to man
And when the seeds were sown
Found the truth I owned
Only thing I understand
Is my home, home, home, home
Home, home, home, home
Clean sheets they wait for me
There’s no place I’d rather be
Than home, home
Endless Blue -- Ordinary Love
[no video]
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
Didn’t I tell you
What I believe
Somebody say that
A love like that won’t last
Didn’t I give you
All that I’ve got to give baby
I gave you all the love I got
I gave you more than I could give
I gave you love
I gave you all that I have inside
And you took my love
You took my love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There’s nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
When you came my way
You brightened every day
With your sweet smile
Didn’t I tell you
What I believe
Did somebody say that
A love like that won’t last
Didn’t I give you
All that I’ve got to give baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
I keep crying
I keep trying for you
There’s nothing like you and I baby
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
This is no ordinary love
No ordinary love
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying I’m falling
I’m falling
Keep trying for you
Keep crying for you
Keep flying for you
Keep flying and I’m falling
and I’m falling

Metric - Front Row (Accoustic)
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Q0Y3wtxWec]
ooooh ooooh ooooh
I’m in the front row with a bottle
Don’t know what i can’t decide
I’m in the front row i’m a model
Don’t know what i can’t describe
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All of us
Burn out stars they shine so bright
He’s not perfect he’s my hero
Smashing the piano
Spitting on the front row
Chronic confrontation
Psychic conversation
Radical compassion
Louder than the action
Of all of us
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All of us
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All the stars
I’m in the front row with a bottle
Don’t know what I can’t decide
I’m the front row i’m a model
Don’t know what I can’t describe
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All of us
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All of us
He’s not perfect he’s a victim
Of his occupation
Social insulation
Secret intervention
Charging him with possession
I just wanna watch him
Make a break and beat them
All the stars
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All the stars
Burn out stars they shine so bright
All the stars
Burn out stars they shine so bright
Burn out stars they shine so bright
ooooh ooooh ooooh
Lightspeed Champion -- Tell Me What It’s Worth
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYKNZAN2KFE]
Crack open the good times
On a street corner bustin rhymes
but you fell between the lines.
They all laugh, become a joke
Am i crazy baby let’s all hope
for narrow halls, crunching drums
I’ve got the sweets sugar but that’s all.
Tell me what it’s worth
Tell me what it’s worth
So tell us that we’re spelling everything wrong
Negroes turn a blueish-grey when they’re dead
That’s funny ‘cos ive just turned bright red
RED RED RED
Kill, kill, kill when everything starts to suck
Drownin all your sins boy well i geuss thats bad luck
The fact that your race is full of shit
I’ve got the sweets sugar but that’s it.
Tell me what it’s worth
Tell me what it’s worth
woah woah
Clean your blades and start swinging
Don’t stop till the red runs out
Till no more joy pours out of your mouth
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
Tell me what it’s worth (Don’t, dont stop till the red runs out)
woah woah

Matt and Kim -- Daylight
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZt1i1ruK34]
we cut the legs off of our pants
threw our shoes into the ocean
sit back and wave through the daylight
sit back and wave through the daylight
slip and slide on subway grates
these shoes are poor mans ice skates
fall through like change in the daylight
fall through like change in the daylight
i miss yellow lines in my roads
some color on monochrome
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
maybe i’ll paint them in myself
these sidewalks liquid then stone
building walls and an old pay phone
it rings like all through the daylight
it rings like all through the daylight
chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home
I have five clocks in my life
and only one has the time right
i’ll just unplug it for today
ill just unplug it for today
open hydrant rolled down windows
this car might make a good old boat
and float down grand street in daylight
and float down grand street in daylight
and with just half of a sunburn
new yellow lines that i earned
step back and here comes the night time
step back and here comes the night time
chorus
and in the daylight we can hitchhike to maine
i hope that someday i’ll see without these frames
and in the daylight i don’t pick up my phone
cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home

Massive Attack -- Girl, I Love You (feat. Horace Andy)(She Is Danger Mix)
[no video]
Girl I love you
But your loving net’s gone forever
Gonna miss you
But my love net’s gone forever.
I say I love you
But your loving net’s gone forever
Gonna miss you
But my love net’s gone forever.
Girl I’m back in spanish town
Ain’t no trouble coming around
You promise you will never let me down
If you love me that much you will stick around.
It’s hard to tell that true love exists
But I know this one is for real.
Girl I love you
But your loving net’s gone forever.
Forever.
Natalie Walker - With You
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXx3Trg8Nfs]
We’ve come a long, long way
I must say
We’ve come a long, long way
Love takes time and time is on our side
Time is on our side
I was all alone and I didn’t have a place
You came into my life and then everything changed
Love this strong never fades
Holds onto your life doesn’t go away
We’ve come a long, long way
I must say
We’ve come a long, long way
Love takes time and time is on our side
Time is on our side
I was all alone and I didn’t have a place
You came into my life and then everything changed
Love this strong never fades
Holds onto your life doesn’t go away
With you
This world is a better place
This world is a better place with you

I’m workin’ a sweat
But it’s all good
I’m breakin’ my back
But it’s all good
’cause I know I’ll get it back
Yeah, I know your hands will clap
Yeah, I’m workin’
Yeah, I’m workin’
To make butter for my piece of bun
And if you say I’m not OK
Then that’s the goal
If you say there ain’t no way that I could know
If you say I aim too high from down below
Well, say it know ’cause when I’m gone…
You’ll be callin’ but I won’t be at the phone
And you’re hanging around ’til it’s all done
You can’t keep me back once I’ve had some
Wasting time to get it right
And you will see what I’m about
Yeah, I’m workin’ a sweat
But it’s all good
I’m breakin’ my back
But it’s all good
’cause I know I’ll get it back
Yeah, I know your hands will clap
And if you say I’m not OK
Then that’s the goal
If you say there ain’t no way that I could know
If you say I aim too high from down below
Well, say it know ’cause when I’m gone…
You’ll be callin’ but I won’t be at the phone

BEACH HOUSE -- Used to Be [for nick]
http://www.myspace.com/beachhousemusic
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgdPXp5phNY]
LYRICS:
you are coming home
are you still alone
are you not the same as you used to be
as the sun grows high
and you serve your time
does each day just feel like another life
now you know
is it just for show
just a foolish game that you hide behind
dont forget the nights
when it all felt right
are you not the same as you used to be
used to be
in an endless night
could you feel the fright
of an age that wasnt
could never be
so we hold it close
when we feel the most
like a love that we could not leave behind
we turn the wheel
to which way we feel
till im lost and
i cannot find you there
don’t forget the nights
when it all felt right
are you not the same as you used to be
used to be
even if i try so hard
would we still be coming to an end
even if we spoke the same words
would we still be termed as friends
even if it’s simple from the start
we will give up pieces of our hearts
and when there is nothing left to pretend
we will know its coming to an end
even if we try so hard
we will give up pieces of our hearts
its always good to see you again
even if it’s coming to an end
*We could wait until the summer
see what happens to the other
we could stay inside all summer
see what happens to the other*

You are my everything

KLEERUP - Until We Bleed (feat. lykke li)
http://kleerup.net
LYRICS:
I’m naked
I’m numb
I’m stupid
I’m staying
And if Cupid’s got a gun, then he’s shootin’
Lights black; heads bang
You’re my drug
We live it
You’re drunk, you need it
Real love, I’ll give it
So we’re bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
You wasted your times
On my heart
You’ve burned
And if bridges gotta fall, then you’ll fall, too
Doors slam
Lights black
You’re gone
Come back
Stay gone
Stay clean
I need you to need me
So we’re bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
Now we’re bound to linger on
We drink the fatal drop
Then love until we bleed
Then fall apart in parts
TRACK SEVEN
ARTEMIS - Beautiful Life [for cyprus]
http://www.artemis.fm
LYRICS:
Nothing really dies
Nothing’s ever lost forever
Nothing really dies
It’s a Beautiful Life
A Beautiful Life
Caught in this gravity of Being
A child swallowed in questions
drifting through the universe
with no compass to guide
but a tiny ember burns like a star inside
It’s a beautiful life
caught in this gravity of being
this soul’s fire
makes diamonds of the darkness in me
One black bird chases after another
blindly too secure
a little bit of real estate
a corner of the sky to conquer
And it’s a beautiful life
caught in this gravity of Being
this soul’s fire
makes diamonds of the darkness in me
We’re casting a silent spell
immobility
frozen under ice and stone
mountain wraps its arms round me
pressing diamonds of this heart of coal
and it’s a beautiful life
beautiful
nothing really dies
nothing’s ever lost forever
TRACK EIGHT
SILJE NES - Ames Room
http://www.myspace.com/siljenes
LYRICS:
We go ashore
found a place where it’s warm
where there are holes of light
swimming in the water
we walk to the end of the state
just to find
fast state trains appear
with this room in the air
how would it’ve went
couldn’t do wouldn’t might
if we took all this gray away from the sky
cus we walk to the end of the state
just to find
fast state trains appear
with this room in the air
TRACK NINE
BLACK BOX RECORDER -- Child Psychology [for ryan]
http://www.myspace.com/blackboxrecorder
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_O0JKsJzIg]
LYRICS:
I stopped talking when I was six years old
I didn’t want anything more to do with the outside world
I was happy being quiet
But of course they wouldn’t leave me alone
My parents tried every trick in the book
From speech therapists to child psychologists
They even tried bribery
I could have anything, as long as I said it out loud
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Of course this episode didn’t last forever
I’d made my point and it was time to move on
To peel away the next layer of deceit
And see what new surprises lay in store
My school report said I showed no interest
‘A disruptive influence’ I felt sorry for them in a way
And when they finally expelled me
It didn’t mean a thing
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
(“At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing…
she stared, she had the facial grimacing…
and then the psychiatrist was saying, “Julie, Julie, can you hear me?
Can you open your eyes? Can you stick out your tongue?”
And all of a sudden, Julie struck out”)
The November Day I came home the Christmas decorations were already up
Spray-on snow, coloured flashing lights
And an artificial tree that played Silent Night
Over and over again
My parents welcomed me with loving arms
But within an hour were back at each others throats
Normal, happy childhood back on course
Batteries not included
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
TRACK TEN
BASEMENT JAXX -- My Turn
http://www.basementjaxx.net
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEAoaNiZ3UA]
LYRICS:
When will this all start?
When did i fall apart?
When is it my turn?
My turn?
Working on your heart,
Trying but i’m falling right apart,
When will this all start?
Tell me, when will this all start?
Girl, I’m tryin’ to finish
Broken down forever now
we are losing what we found
My heart is left, alone in pieces, pieces
When will this all start?
Tell me, when will this all start?
What is left, of us?
I am kept in my shell
I will never run away,
you could never get away
All of this love that we’ve lost, has left me in pieces, in pieces
Girl, it’s true, we have lost us…
I could never get away
you could never run away
Like a butterfly

POLLY SCATTERGOOD -- Please Don’t Touch [for jonah]
http://www.myspace.com/pollyscattergood
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzwS8bXAhtk]
LYRICS:
Can’t play pretty tunes
My head is always messy and
I can’t walk in a straight line,
My path is always, always gritty and
I like to play piano but it’s often out of tune and
There are lots of broken fingers
In the dark parts of my room
Please don’t touch
Please don’t stop and stare
Yes, I thank you for your kindness
But there’s sadness in the air
Please don’t touch
‘Cause it makes me jitter, and
Although I lost my mind, sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don’t Touch
Love me tender,
Love me true,
Show your colours, black and blue
Make another cuppa, on the sofa eating marmalade
And I hate to brag, now it’s forgotten
Feeling strange and looking rotten
Fighting like a soldier over skinny jeans and pick and mix
Please don’t touch
Please don’t stop and stare
Yes, I thank you for your kindness
But there’s sadness in the air
Please don’t touch
‘Cause it makes me jitter, and
Although I lost my mind, sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don’t touch
Fickle like a foo machine
Playing with the cruise ship queen
Taking all his apples,
And then going to play hide and seek
And unless you feel me,
Please don’t break me,
Please don’t let the rat man take me
‘Cause he thinks I’m weird,
Well what’s a girl to do?
Please don’t touch
Please don’t stop and stare
Yes, I thank you for your kindness
But there’s sadness in the air
Please don’t touch
‘Cause it makes me jitter, and
Although I lost my mind, sir
I think you lost yours quicker
Please don’t touch
Yes, I thank you for your kindness
But there’s sadness in the air
Please don’t touch

LYRICS:
Somebody said
“Hey, slow down. Wait for me.
Why wait for me at all?”
Then I said, “There’s a person willingly will lead.
We’ll all follow him too far.”
While we’re marching in a circle
There’s a fire in your eyes
Fire’s come but the truth burns all
While we wait around to die
Hold me closer, break your trembling
Never thought I’d see you cry
Now I steal a kiss young ladies
And prepare to watch them fly

LYRICS:
Play me a sad song
‘Cause that’s what I want to hear
I want you to make me cry
I want to remember the places that we left
Lost to the mists of time
I know that you’ll go soon
You’ll find out so take me with you always
I know that you’ll go soon
You’ll find out so take me with you always
On buses that move through the night
We sleep on and on
We got off at Memphis
Black-top heat will make us thirsty
We’ll never get sick anymore
I know that you’ll go soon
You’ll find out so take me with you always
I know that you’ll go soon
You’ll find out so take me with you always
Play me a sad song
‘Cause that’s what I want to hear
I want you to make me cry
I want to remember the places that we left
Lost to the mists of time

REGINA SPEKTOR -- Laughing With
http://reginasplash.warnerreprise.com
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rov3pV9PsRI]
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one laughs at God when the doctor calls after some routine tests
No one’s laughing at God when it’s gotten real late and their kid’s not back from that party yet
No one laughs at God when their airplane starts to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God when they see the one they love hand in hand with someone else and they hope that they’re mistaken
No one laughs at God when the cops knock on their door and they say “We’ve got some bad new, sir,”
No one’s laughing at God when there’s a famine, fire or flood
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think that they’re about to choke
God can be funny
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
Ha ha
Ha ha
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’ve lost all they got and they don’t know what for
No one laughs at God on the day they realize that the last sight they’ll ever see is a pair of hateful eyes
No one’s laughing at God when they’re saying their goodbyes
But God can be funny
At a cocktail party while listening to a good God-themed joke or
Or when the crazies say he hates us and they get so red in the head you think that they’re about to choke
God can be funny
When told he’ll give you money if you just pray the right way
And when presented like a genie
Who does magic like Houdini
Or grants wishes like Jiminy Cricket and Santa Claus
God can be so hilarious
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God in a hospital
No one’s laughing at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God when they’re starving or freezing or so very poor
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
No one’s laughing at God
We’re all laughing with God

TUNNG - Bullets [for khoa]
http://www.tunng.co.uk
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI1NgFYJCN4]
LYRICS:
Green hills and enemies
These things they make us sentimental inside
Your words are gelignite
Or just another sentimental aside
We’re catching bullets in our teeth
And though it’s easy if you know how it’s done
They split the secret up six ways before they gave it to us just before dawn
And now we don’t remember
Our blood and guts are out
We spread our bones across the table at night
We cut our fingers off
To give ourselves those little extra insights
We’re catching bullets in our teeth
And though they try hard not to say how it’s done
They always do
They spill the secret out six ways
And beg for our forgiveness
Just before dawn
And now we don’t remember
We’re catching bullets in our teeth
It’s hard to do but they taste sweet
And if they take a couple out
We try to work things out
We catching bullets with our
Heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us
It’s strange to find such light
In such endless night
So sweet to lose a friend
You leave the church and taste
The air in your lungs
Old lies and fireflies
Carve angels on your eyes
And all is undone
You whisper prayers into the dark
Up to a god in whom you’ve never believed
You always do
You split the secret up six ways
But it won’t make it any easier to see
And now we don’t remember
We’re catching bullets in our teeth
Its hard to do but they’re so sweet
And if they take a couple out
We try to work things out
We’re catching bullets with our
Heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us
It’s strange to find such light
In such endless night
We’re catching bullets in our backs
We sent the undertaker back
Into the garden in the drought
To try to work things out
We’re catching bullets with the best resources that we’ve got
We’re happy then again we’re not
We shout -- through the endless doubt
Na na na na na na

SINEWAVE - Exploded Nodes
http://www.sinewavemusic.ca
LYRICS:
Turns out it’s nothing after all
It’s under control
Started out big, but then got small
It gets in your head
they gave it a name
that you would call
something to do
if you’ve got to move
then let’s keep it smooth
use it for anything at all
you’re running the show
made it so big that you feel small
they mess with your head
setting you up to take the fall
something to prove
if you’ve got to move
then let’s keep it smooth

HUMAN HIGHWAY -- The Sound [for dave]

[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hk5DLSklSlw]
LYRICS:
Got nothing left but it ain’t bringin’ me down
I’m just gonna follow the sound
And the sound is pleasing
When it sounds like it is breathing
There’s no one around
To hear the notes falling down
Nobody seems to care
The feeling isn’t there
Like it was all a bad dream
Now we’re looking everywhere
You keep searching
You keep on searching
You’re flirting with it now
Got nothing left but it ain’t bringin’ me down
I’m just gonna follow the sound
That ringing in my ears
Oh whats that sound
It’s the cold death knell
Of the big ships bell
See the strings unwound
See them lying on the ground
Can’t pick up your guitar
Cause you’ve forgotten the sound
We’ll keep searching
Keep on searching
We’re flirting with it now
Got nothing left but it ain’t bringin’ me down
I’m just gonna follow the sound

AMANDA BLANK - Leaving You Behind (feat. Lykke)
http://www.myspace.com/amandablank
LYRICS:
So ambitious baby always on the road
too relentless I can’t ever let it go
Give it up sit down and do what you’re told.
So wrong ain’t I the coldest bitch you know.
They take your number but they never call
Don’t want nothing but you take it all
Feel my resistance got a grip on tight
Using my legs because my head ain’t right
Leaving you behind
I’m leaving you behind.
I heard your secret and it’s just too sweet to keep
I’m telling everybody you can’t take the heat
Don’t it sting, salt got in there deep
And I can’t help you cause I’m just so fucking mean
Go ahead and try me like you wish you could
You’re too small for how tall I stood
Don’t it hurt to know you ain’t that tuff hot stuff
It ain’t enough and now nobody gives a fuck
Leaving you behind.
I’m leaving you behind.
I know you saw it coming
Said I was always running
Don’t act so surprised
You knew the whole time
I’d leave you behind
I’m leaving you behind
You behind.
Leaving you behind

ENDLESS BLUE -- Doubt [for suz]
http://www.endlessblue.com
LYRICS:
Staring at the empty room
was there ever a reason to stay in
strangely familiar this whole place feels
(she doubts herself again)
she fears that today might finally be the day
she’s packing up her memories
just a few things she should keep
it doesn’t even pay for her to bring
such torn and tattered things
glistening tears surround the truth
(she doubts herself again)
a meaningless collection and all the pain it brings
have the streets always been this cold at night
suffering hearts wouldn’t know
has she really been all alone this time
letting sorrow grow
is she gonna to make it out tonight
out to clear her mind
let go of what she thought was right
and leave despair behind
(she doubts herself again)
control her trembling fingers
she fumbles with the key
she’s trapping all the things inside
she’ll never have to see
her shallow breathing fills the hall
(she doubts herself again)
she tells herself it is the day
that she will be free
have the streets always been this cold at night
suffering hearts wouldn’t know
has she really been all alone this time
letting sorrow grow
is she gonna to make it out tonight
hard to clear her mind
let go of what she thought was right
and leave despair behind
step into the morning glare
contrast to the day
sunlight brings her back to life
she doubts she’ll come again
she drops her things down on the ground
and slowly walks away
staring at the empty room
(is there ever a reason to stay)
was there ever a reason to stay
(strangely familiar this whole place feels)
strangely familiar this whole place feels
she doubts herself again
today is the day
today is the day

HIGH PLACES -- Stardust To Sentience
http://www.myspace.com/hellohighplaces
[video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwBH7qe2jS0]
LYRICS:
From small speck of stardust to wondrously sentient
Revolving and spinning in space
Waking and sleeping and yielding to gravity
It starts to show on your face
Millions of forces of physics and providence
Teamed up and brought us all here
Waking and sleeping and yielding to gravity
Pointless to measure in years
Out in the desert your thoughts are as clear as the stars
You feel golden
You’re billion year old carbon.
TRACK TWENTY-ONE
CHROMEO - I Can’t Tell You Why [for anjibee]
http://www.chromeo.net
LYRICS:
Look at us baby, up all night
Tearing our love apart
Aren’t we the same two people who live
through years in the dark?
Ahh…
Every time I try to walk away
Something makes me turn around and stay
And I can’t tell you why
When we get crazy,
it just ain’t right,
(try to keep you head, little girl)
Girl, I get lonely, too
You don’t have to worry
Hold on tight
(don’t get caught in your little world)
‘Cause I love you
Nothing’s wrong as far as I can see
We make it harder than it has to be
and I can’t tell you why
no, baby, I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
No, no, baby, I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
I can’t tell you why
I Want To Celebrate YOU!
Oct 22nd
In my meander and stagger at getting my little music podcast alive, formatted, and on a regular schedule, I am finally ready for a dive into a commitment that won’t falter. This was an experimental thing, at first, and I’ve realized how much I love doing this, and the feedback has been so positive. I am really happy so many of you (well, the handful of you wonderful enthusiastic peoples) are enjoying these little collections of artists.
So as a launch into November, I had a great idea for a return episode: “The Gratitude Edition.” As this will be the beginning of the holidays around here, and November focuses on gratitude and thanks, I decided I’d create the next podcast all around YOU!
Yes, you!
Whether you are new to listening, or if you’ve been listening through the first four episodes, I invite you to leave a comment here to indicate you’d like a song dedicated to you in the next podcast. I’m pretty sure I will know you, so it should be easy, but if we don’t know each other, I’ll just use my intuition! The song will either represent you as I see you, refer to something about our relationship, have a message for you in the lyrics, share how I feel about you,… you never know! But it will somehow connect to you!
The first 10 comments ensure a spot in the podcast! 11 through 15 MIGHT make it in. So if you want to get some lovin’ sent your way, comment now for sure! And don’t be shy about leaving a comment, regardless of what number you are. Your participation here is much-loved.
For those who want a dedication, say “I WANT SOME LOVE!” in your comment.
Otherwise, don’t worry! You will still get a lotta love sent your way through all episodes anyway.
This should be a lot of fun!
Your host, Troy aka Cocteauboy

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 1:00:49 — 83.8MB)
Returning after a short hiatus, the show is now bigger, longer, stronger, and faster! The philosophical gestures will remain, but the music is even more of the focus now.
In addition to this, I have now joined in affiliation with my favorite music source on the internet! e-MUSIC! Seriously, it is such an amazing service that this is the first time I’ve ever considered an affiliation. When I get the final approval, I will launch the promotions, and I’d love for all of you to get in on it. I know a lot of people torrent their music, but it feels really great to be able to get a lot of your music legally AND you are supporting these wonderful artists who spend their own time, money, and creativity to share with us.
Just keep an open mind and watch for the promotion. In fact, if you want to make sure you see the alert, just leave a comment so I know you are interested. I’ll let you know. I’ll explain the details then.
For now, enjoy the show! Make sure you check out the lyrics below, and the videos. The one for ALL INDIA RADIO is going to break your heart…
THE BOY LEAST LIKELY TO -- Be Gentle With Me
http://www.theboyleastlikelyto.co.uk
VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tknrTkxBeU
LYRICS:
Staring up into the solar system,
All the stars are fixed up in the sky.
I just want to sparkle for a moment
Before I just fizzle out and die.
I’m happy because I’m stupid.
Scared of spiders, scared of flying.
If I wasn’t so happy,
I wouldn’t be so scared of dying.
So just be gentle with me
(I’m not as young as I was)
And I’ll be gentle with you
(I’m not as brave as I thought)
‘Cause my heart gets broken so easily.
So just be gentle, be gentle with me.
Wide awake, waiting like a target
Listening for things I cannot see.
Insects flutter up against my window.
I don’t like the way they look at me
i guess I’ve always needed
To be needed by someone.
It’s a comforting feeling
Being under someone’s thumb.
So just be gentle with me
(And if I am ever mean)
And I’ll be gentle with you
(I never mean to be mean)
‘Cause I want to pick peaches off of a cherry tree.
So just be gentle, be gentle, be gentle,
Be gentle with me.

VIDEO: none
LYRICS:
I think I don´t fit in here
It seems to be all too queer
They call me weird and weird I am
I start to end where I began
This life second hand
Gimme something I can cling to
Something I understand
Something beautiful
I don´t like to minimize
This room can´t hold my size
I kept running and running
But this will be my second coming
Gimme something I can cling to
Something I understand
Something beautiful
Gimme something I can trust in
Gimme something that makes sense
Something beautiful
They don´t know my name
But I know who I am
The world is big
But I´ll be bigger then
Gimme something I can cling to
Something I understand
Something beautiful
Gimme something I can trust in
Gimme something that makes sense
Something beautiful

A new moon: fragile as glass same as the last
A new night: waits for you now, in back of your house

the city lights will never love you back
If the firmament above
should crash his weight upon the earth
well, we wont go without a fight
what’s better than being the first?
A new love: Catastrophe set courting the end
A new king: You get the room, I’ll write the note

LYRICS:
It’s not easy, so take it slow.
You’re coming up. You’re coming round the bend.
You’re my good friend. Best friend.
And you’re coming up, you’re coming round the bend
You’re making friends with the fireflies.
I can’t say that that comes as a surprise.
But the things they say are not what they seem,
So you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
It’s a plot though, I told you so.
I’m wising up. I’m wising up to them.
They seem like good friends. Best friends.
But I’m wising up. I’m wising up to them.
You’re making friends with the fireflies.
You know when they die their light stays alive.
And the things they say are not what they seem,
So you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
You’re making friends with the fireflies.
I can’t say that that comes as a surprise.
But the things they say are not what they seem,
So you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you’ve been called to tell us what they mean.
Yes, you’ve been called to tell us what they mean

LYRICS:
Osaka, my city
flows inside me
always beside me
5 years of living
still don’t know my way
they moved the roads around
where they can’t be found
they moved the roads around
where they can’t be found
turn around
i’m completely lost
don’t go underground
that’s even worse
an octpus of passages
a place of cryptic messages
turn around
i’m completely lost
(they moved the roads around
where they can’t be found)

SCHOOL OF SEVEN BELLS -- Iamundernodisguise

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vt-SNwyxsBM

I am neither breather nor speaker
I am neither walker or sleeper
I am neither sister brother son nor daughter
Solely in my chest is my heart a drum of water
I am under no disguise
ASTRONAUT WIFE -- Cape Canaveral
http://www.astronautwife.com [now-defunct]
VIDEO: none
LYRICS:
Remember the day you told me you were leaving?
Far away on a long, long trip
The water at the seaside was windless and even
Gravity seemed to loosen its grip
And if you look across the beaches at the light
The sun is hiding underneath the red horizon line
Making outlines from the trees
Blinding you and me
Blanking out the world
I can’t see anything behind your eyes
I can feel you shaking as you touch me
Taste the sweat dripping on your lips
A warm summer wind is blowing all around us
I never thought it might end like this
And as we stand on the sidewalk looking down
I could swear I see your shadow disappearing from the ground
Leaving me alone
With nowhere else to go
Standing in a strange place
Afraid to take a look around
I know you told me when you left
I wouldn’t have a single thing to fear
But I wonder if you’ll still remember me
When you’re high up in the atmosphere
And will the thin air up there
Still carry my voice to you?
Like a bottled message on the radio waves
Will it ever get to you?
I know you told me when you left
I wouldn’t have a single thing to fear
But I wonder if you’ll still remember me
When you’re high up in the atmosphere
And will the thin air up there
Still carry my voice to you?
Like a bottled message on the radio waves
Will it ever get to you?
You know you’re gonna find me waiting here for you
Everyday ’til you come back
Maybe it would take a miracle but you know
I’ve always believed in that
And if you look down at me from the sky
I’ll be standing alone, waving goodbye
Blowing kisses at the sun
Ignoring everyone
I never even stopped to ask you why
Why?
Why?

Take me back
To the way I was
So I can feel this
With Justification
I drown in my senses
And all I see
Is
You
And I just want to be near you
And I just want to be near you
Take me back
This is no longer a sunny disposition
upon my face
I quiver in my thoughts
And all I feel
Is
You
And I just want to be near you
And I just want to be near you
And I just want to
Want to be
Near you
What is this?
What is this?
If i persist
If i persist
What is this?
If I persist
If I persist
What is this?
If I persist
If I persist

When you’re down
I’ll hold you down
I could not let you go
If you’re quiet
I can hear your heart

Slip your hands around me now

Write my name in the groove
my heart is filled up with holes
and they spill all over you
Best-dressed boy was a devil alright
his horn and tail

fingers trained to find something
did you teach yourself to play
the things you said have brought me here
sometimes I need an easy friend
sometiems I need an easy friend
Write my name in the groove
Write my name in the groove
my heart is filled up with holes

slip your hands around me now
You’ll melt my ice

Never mind that you and I
know what we need to do
Write my name in the groove
Write my name in the groove
my heart is filled up with holes
and they spill all over you
Did you teach yourself to play
The things you said have brought me here
Best-dressed boy was a devil alright

Write my name in the groove
Write my name in the groove

SCIENCE FOR GIRLS -- Northern Lights

LYRICS:
You think it’s butterflies
You think it’s devil’s eyes
You think it takes a lifetime
And you think it goes away
You think it’s flowing over
You think it’s getting older
You think it’s trapped inside
But it’s gonna be great
It’s gonna be great
There’s a park in San Miguel
where mariachis play
An island off the coast of Spain
where they party through the day
A city near Denali
where you can see the Northern Lights
It’s the deepest ocean
It’s the farthest sound
It’s electricity
It’s the midnight sky
Just be the circle squared
Just be perpetual motion
Just be a miracle
Just know there’s gonna be heaven
It’s gonna be great
There’s a restaurant on Race Course Road
where the curry makes you cry
A hot springs north of Bangkok
where the water gets you high
A city near Denali
where you can see the Northern Lights
Northern Lights
Northern Lights
Soon you’re gonna wake up
Soon you’re gonna wake up
There’s a seashore in Morocco
with castles made of sand
A tea house in Aleppo
where they greet you like a friend
A city near Denali
where you can see the Northern Lights
Northern Lights…
GREGORY AND THE HAWK -- Fin Song 8

LYRICS:
Orange river glides
through the saddle of the park
an icy day in March
cuts the clouds
they push apart
I’d rather be on fire
rather be on fire
fire Staring straight ahead, meeting the streets
Your inky Skin and your skinny feet
it’s about a sidewalk,
about a subway, waking to sunsets
It’s been all of my wishes devised
a dream and then lived it
and I remember when I first listened to your records
It’s clouded, what we know
We can only hope
And I’m losing just about everything
It’s been all of my regrets to live a lie and end upset
and I remember when peace was a pretty contender
It’s clouded what we know
And I’m losing everything

How many miles you have saved?

What’re you writing off this year?
when’s your next break?

I wear two new colors

Who’re you gonna be today?
Where’re you gonna go?
When’re you takin’ over?
Who wants to know?
Who do you wanna live for?
Who do you wanna know?
Who do you wanna hold now?
who do you wanna love?
COCOROSIE - Rainbowarriors

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypS4x4GO_-E
LYRICS:
In the these times of evil spirits
Of material thugs and mischief
Fear saint nonis wisdom
And his love for rainbow spirits
Jealous of their faithful heart-bond
And their dancing and their laughing
Made at last a league against them
To molest them and destroy them
Saint noni wise and heart-strong
Often said to rainbowarrior
“O my brother do not leave me!
Lest the evil spirits harm you!”
Rainbowarrior of two spirits
Lentle hand and lion hearted
He laughed and then he answered
Like a child he softy whispered
We are rainbowarriors
Evil come not near
Rainbow awaits us
With hearts of love and tearz
He’s dead, our sweetest mother
Loving father and our teacher
He’s gone from us forever
He has moved a little nearer
To the master of all laughter
To the master of all song
O my brother, O my brother
Crystal brother of two spirits
Then we gathered in a circle
Stood round the rainbow fire
Burning embers hearts united
We remembered mystical beauty
If you look hard you can find a
Rainbow trail its deep inside ya
Joldenlight on every thing gleaning

I’m the one who touched you
I did it with my lips
and I’m the one who needs
You’re on my fingertips
cuz I’m the only one
can you feel
cuz I wanna make you
I’m the one who kissed you
Cuz I know where it is
I’m the one who feels you
but I don’t even know if you exist
and I’m the only one
can you feel
cuz I wanna make you feel
I know inside of me
you are the light of me
I know inside of me
you are the light of me
I know inside of me
you are the light of me
I know inside of me
you are the light
and I’m the only one
I’m the only one
SLEEPTHIEF
feat. Kirsty Hawkshaw -- The Chauffeur (Seize Puts on the Breaks Mix)
http://sleepthiefmusic.com
Out on the tar plains, the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to drive
You sit beside me, so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress -- all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
nd the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress -- all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Way down the lane away, living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards that hollow western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
nd the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress -- all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
nd the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress -- all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And watching lovers part, I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind
To tear out from your eyes, with a thought to stiffen brooding lies
And Ill only watch you leave me further behind
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress -- all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress -- all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
CHRIS GARNEAU -- Over and Over
http://www.chrisgarneau.com
Not my fault
You said so
Oh You said it over and over
It’s not my fault
You said so
Oh You said it over and over
Now I’m in this thing
This fucking thing
I’m stuck over and over
Yeah, I’m in this thing
This fucking thing
It’s happening over and over
Then you give me things
They make me sad
You give them over and over
I can’t feel the day
When I’d like to say
“Remember the days when we used to…”
But I don’t feel them over and over
It’s not my fault
You said so
Oh You said it over and over
It’s not my fault
You said so
You, You said it over and over
Now I’m in this thing
This fucking thing
It’s happening over and over
Yeah, I’m in this thing
This fucking thing
I’m stuck over and over
Then you give me things
They make me sad
You give them over and over
I can’t feel the day
When I’d like to say
“Remember the days when we used to…”
But I don’t feel them over and over
We’re all cursed anyway
Just skin and bones
Good hair, good clothes
And that’s how it goes
we’ve got sweet little toes
And it’s all all all all all all up to me now
There’s a lot of work work work work work work to do
And it’s all all all all all all up to me now
Leave me be be be be be be I am through
PASSION PIT -- Sleepyhead
http://www.myspace.com/passionpitjams
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going to the beat
And everything is going –
And you said
It was like fire around the brim
Burning solid, Burning thin the burning rim
Like stars burning holes right through the dark
You gave fire like saltwater into my eyes
You were an inch from the edge of this bed
I drive you back a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
They couldn’t think of something to say the day you burst
With all their lions with all their might and all their thirst
They crowd your bedroom like some thoughts wearing thin
Against the walls, against your rules, against your skin
My beard grew down to the floor and out through the doors
Of your eyes, begonia skies like a sleepyhead, sleepyhead
Go ahead
LAL MERI -- Give Me Your Light
http://www.lalmeri.com/
Sitting at her bedside
guarding his throne
Says everyday has been so great since the one when she was born
Got on my knees and prayed god please bring her happiness
So finally she can see that her life is blessed
Please don’t go away
Give your light to the sunny day
Don’t hide it
Don’t hide it
Want you to stay and give your light until it fades away
Found her silly letter and
didn’t like so much what it said
but tears fell down, tears fell down
when I found her in her bed
And yes indeed, times like these when you call upon your friends and tell them
come along, come along now
and help me up again
Please don’t go away
Give your light to the sunny day
Don’t hide it
Don’t hide it
Want you to stay and give your light until it fades away
Did you ever notice once youve tried to make someone smile
like they’re born, stuck that way, real happy for a while
Cuz it’s the simple things that make the world okay
forget your mind, forget your pain, so we can play
Please don’t go away
Give your light to the sunny day
Don’t hide it
Don’t hide it
Want you to stay and give your light until it fades away
Please don’t go away
Please don’t go
Give your light to the sunny day
(remember you made a promise)
Don’t hide it
Don’t hide it
(you said you’d be around, you’d be around)
Want you to stay and give your light until it fades away
Please don’t go…
AU REVOIR SIMONE - Lark (Ruff and Jam Remix)
http://aurevoirsimone.com
So
So long
So long ago
There wasn’t anyone out there I thought I needed to know
But no more
When I find the day
leave my mind in the evening
just as the day before
I saw the window was open
The cool air
I don’t know what you saw there
Don’t know what you saw in me
Sometimes I want to be enough for you
Don’t ask
Know that it’s understood
There’s not enough of me
I saw that something was broken
I’ve crossed the line
I’ll point you to a better time
A safer place to be
Sometimes I want to be enough for you
Don’t ask
Know that it’s done no good
Sometimes I want to be enough for you
Don’t ask
Know that it’s done no good
THE FIERY FURNACES -- Nevers
http://www.thefieryfurnaces.com
There’s a town I know called Nevers,
no Nevers
never wasn’t was what it weren’t
when it wasn’t once. Knew Nevers?
Knew Nevers?
Nothing never I’ll ever learnt.
There’s a village I visit, that’s Vaguely;
Sorta Vaguely,
vaguely yes I seem to recall,
though it’s unclear clearly–vaguely?
Very vaguely,
can’t say it’s been there once and for all.
I put back on my overshoes
and got in my Renault.
The trips reset so I’m unsure
how far it is to go:–
But then it hits me (slap)–
I’ve left it off my map!
There’s a city I saw signed Something–
must be something,
something never quite so defined,
so much so how somewhere something
(though some sing)
so to speak’s the uncertain kind.
In an index looked up Where-it-was,
exactly where it was,
just in fact to make sure I can’t
set a course straight through to where it ain’t
and where it ain’t
ain’t gotten to except at a slant.
I put on my new black boots
and pack up my Citroen.
And out of town it huffs and puffs;
I set off there alone.–
And then it hits me (slap)–
I’ve left it off my map.
There’s a place I passed called once upon a time–
tiny once upon a time–
never wasn’t weren’t what it was.
Set the clock back twice or once upon a time
in once upon a time—
never knew when it wasn’t there because.
ANN DRISCOLL -- In My Eyes
http://www.myspace.com/anndriscoll
I wish that I could tell you
how you made me feel
but you can probably see it in my eyes
I wish you could tell me
how I made you feel
if I awakened anything inside
you made me feel rejected
you made me feel blown away
you made me feel so helpless
you made me feel like a bird astray
I thought that I could trust
Now I’m not so sure
It no longer feels good to share myself
But when I saw you crying
And didn’t know the cause
Well, I wanted to hold you
and ask what was wrong
you made me feel rejected
you made me feel blown away
you made me feel so helpless
you made me feel like a bird astray
I wish that I could tell you
how you made me feel
but you can probably see it in my eyes
BETH HIRSCH -- Love Will Come Again
http://www.bethhirsch.com/
Girl, make up your mind
Make up your heart
It’s all in time
Love will come again
You won’t be wrong
You’re only right
As you go on
Love will come again
Couldn’t decide if you could make it
of if you’d have to fake it
you were ready to fold
Something inside propelled you out here
Grateful for the moment you started to let go
Oh, make up your mind
Make up your heart
It’s all in time
Love will come again
You won’t be wrong
You’re only right
As you go on
Love will come again
Bet you he was the man you dreamt of
And tell me she’s the woman
You were ready to hold
Betcha you’ll think it’s cruel deception
The way this life has played you
Your pain is getting older
Oh, make up your mind
Make up your heart
It’s all in time
Love will come again
You won’t be wrong
You’re only right
Girl, you will go on to figure out
The best is yours
love will come again
you can be sure, you can be strong
as you go on
love will come again
SANAGI -- Sleepwalking
http://www.myspace.com/sanagimusic
Wake me from my sleepwalking
from my numb existence and my shallow breath
shake me out of warm day dreams
compulsive good-girlness, and mechanical steps
Wake me from my sleepwalking

compulsive good-girlness, and mechanical steps
Help me breathe

We are all what’s keeped us
stumbling in blindness
Stepping on each other’s pores
and yelping from the pain
and yelping from the pain
CPR my lonely heart
Stroke my rubber skin so I feel warm again
CPR my lonely heart
Stroke my rubber skin so I feel warm again
Help me breathe

stumbling in blindness
Stepping on each other’s pores
and yelping from the pain

Gotta be 14th Street
Corner of 7th Ave
Funny Cry Happy gift is always open
Gotta be 14 days
Why never more or less
This is when the phone rings
And even the stars are alive
Even the stars at night
Even a star like you
Can be looking for something
You’ve got a light like mine
Even a light like mine
Never a night goes by
I know what you like
Never a dull moment
Life is a game of chance
Wrinkly and inconvenient
99 cents a shirt
We’ll get the wrinkles out
Just take a look at our dog
And even the stars are alive
Even the stars at night
Even a star like you
Can be looking for something
You’ve got a light like mine
Even a light like mine
Never a night goes by
I know what you like
I don’t know what to wish for
I don’t know how to carry on
I never know what to say
To a gray
September rainy day
Except go away
Didn’t it used to be
Down by the Waverly
I don’t think you’ll remember
Don’t act like it’s some surprise
The end of this long free ride
Consider yourself fortunate I asked you
And even the stars are alive
Even the stars at night
Even a star like you
Can be looking for something
You’ve got a light like mine
Even a light like mine
Never a night goes by
I know what you like
001: Lost, Then Found
Jun 16th
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 33:19 — 45.8MB)
Today marks the release of my first-ever attempt at podcasting music! YAY!
I’ve always wanted to do this and I am not beyond being anything but amateur, but it’s nice to be able to put this together for friends, students, and listeners who are interested in hearing some great artists who may not be so easily found. The music genres will span across many genres, but most of it will be just beautiful in some way, beautiful and poignant and inspiring.
I’ve submitted this to iTunes, so you should be able to synch your ipods soon… just search for “truthloveenergy” or “music from between the worlds” or “troy tolley,” and you should find it. You may find my other podcasts in the process, but this all-music podcast is called “Music From Between The Worlds.”
I’d like to package the podcasts into themes that are playfully explored in some way. This first podcast is about exploring our feelings of being lost, disoriented, and challenged in life, but finding our way through! So make sure you listen through to the end!
All of the artists in these podcasts have provided their music as “podsafe,” which means all of it is legal and independent. Please buy their music through any the sites that are linked to the artists’ sites, which are included below, with lyrics so you can sing along during the show!
EPISODE ONE: MARCH 2009 – LOST and FOUND
SHOW NOTES:
SANAGI – rabbit hole
http://www.sanagimusic.com
Once upon a time
I used to go
Beneath the branches of a tree
To a muddy hole
And the rabbit came
And it brought me down
But the rabbit disappeared
Through a small loophole
And I tried to follow up
But was left alone
Didn’t seem to find
My magic road
Dear God above
Where is my road?
(2x)
Dear God above (Dear God above)
Where is my road? (Where is my road?)
(2x)
Then the only magic there
Was my own voice
And I sung my lungs out
I sung my soul
And then began
To realize
Ohhhhh…
Dear God above
Where is my road?
(4x)
Dear God above (Dear God above)
Where is my road? (Where is my road?)
(4x)
Just the other day
I tried to go
Beneath the branches of the tree
To a muddy hole
But the branches had
Grown too long
PLASTIC OPERATOR – home 0207
http://www.plasticoperator.com
A lot of fun in my Chevrolet
as we drive away
i wake up to the sound of brakes
then i check the stop and get off the train
cab’s in a traffic jam
i am stuck again
an old couple stares at me
and then they agree
they’ve mistaken me
mistaken for someone nice
i wish they were right
how could i give you up
declare a sudden stop
cancel common luck
i’m coming home
it’s not something you know about
but it is allowed
i don’t know when i’ll be coming home
’cause you don’t have the time
you don’t know where i am coming from
’cause you don’t care
thinking about what i should have done
now seems so wrong
taking off for the second part
it feels to me like a brand new start
wasted my time when i was away
but as people say
only fools never change their mind
they sit and wait for better times
i’m coming home
it’s not something you know about
but it is allowed
i don’t know when i’ll be coming home
’cause you don’t have the time
you don’t know where i am coming from
’cause you don’t care
you couldn’t be home

you’re wasting your time

ANN DRISCOL – i need a reason
http://www.myspace.com/anndriscoll
If I could learn to sing
My voice would soar like a bird’s
If we could learn to love
We’d find it’s what we prefer (to hating)
I need what everybody needs
I need a reason to believe
I’m not alone in the world
If we could hold our tongues
We’d finally have something to say
If we could lose control
We might start to get it our way (I bet you)
Wanna know what everybody needs (I’ll tell you)
We need a reason to believe
We’re not alone in the world
If we could read the news
We’d wake from our ignorant bliss
And when we sit in pews
Learn how to love and assist (and not hate)
I need what everybody needs
I need a reason to believe
We’re not alone in the world
We will be loved by a boy or a girl
A change is coming our way
It might unravel today
46BLIS – in a long time
http://www.46bliss.com
I saw stars around your feet once
Little lights like fish you swim in
Took off your hat you turned your chin and
Time stood still on St.Marks Place
We walked up thru hills of times like
This and times like those we felt the
Heat of all the years
I filled my head and spilled my tears
In a long time
In a long time
In a long time
I will see you
In a long time
In a long time
In a long time
I will see you
I saw time around your feet once
Little seas that blink and shimmer
Flowing on your coat of arms you
Made your mark you take your place
In a long time
In a long time
In a long time
I will see you
In a long time
In a long time
In a long time
I will see you
[heat of all the years] X 3
In a long time
In a long time
In a long time
I will see you
In a long time
In a long time
In a long time
I will see you
I saw stars around your feet once
Little lights like fish you swim in
Took off your hat you turned your chin and
Time stood still on St. Marks Place
We walked up thru hills of times like
This and times like those we felt the
Heat of all the years
I will see you
LOVESPIRALS – motherless child (karmacoda remix)

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
A long, long way from home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
A long, long way from home
A long, long way from home
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost gone
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
A long, long way from home
HUNGRY LUCY – storm (carried away)
http://www.hungrylucy.com
Don’t you bring me no sunshine today
I need the grey skies and the rain
You never understand my pain
I need the wind to blow it away
Afternoon showers for me
The coldness is all that I see
It numbs my pain so deep
The storm it will rock me to sleep
Rain
Will wash away my sorrow
Clouds
Make me see the light
Wind
Carries me away
To the place
I want to be
Alone in the dark sky tonight
I feel the thunder will make it alright
Lightning strikes me down to you
Love of the darkness will help me through
Rain
Will wash away my sorrow
Clouds
Make me see the light
Wind
Carries me away
To the place
I want to be
HOWARD JONES – just look at you now
http://www.howardjones.com
I’ve known you since you were a girl
When things just didn’t work out for you
I said don’t crack up and see both sides
But you kept on blaming the world for everything
I tried to tell you that you were in control
But you didn’t seem to listen to a word I say
But I’m never giving up giving up on you (I try to )
Help you see the world in a different way
Hey Yeah – just look at you now
Riding on a silver wave
That keeps on going
Through the sun and through the rain
Through the good and the bad times
Through the joy and through the pain
Hey look at you now
See what you’ve become
Now look me in the eye, now and tell me straight
Did you find it hard to tell me everything
I said things can only get better dear
But they won’t if you don’t lift a finger to help me
What’s the point in taking this human form
If we can’t understand the point of living here
Who would ever want to live alone
Without sharing this world with everyone and everything
Just look at you now
Riding on a silver wave
That keeps on going
Through the sun and through the rain
Through the good and the bad times
Through the joy and through the pain
Hey look at you now
See what you’ve become
HOWARD JONES – building our own future
http://www.howardjones.com
People cryin’ out for some peace
There’s a lot of people listening
Time for us to sit down and talk
Try to build an understanding
What we feel can be altered in the moment we decide,
Between the light and the dark side.
So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
Free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.
Putting people’s lives at the top
Is the first consideration
Changes in the heart of just one
Will affect entire nations
Don’t give it up to the fates and force around us,
We decide between the in and the outside
So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
Free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.
Sons and daughters,
Mothers and fathers,
Sister’s and brothers,
Friends around the earth.
All deserve to live in a world that welcomes every single birth.
So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
Free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.
So take a stand, in this place,
Cos’ we’re building our own future,
Just one by one,
Day by day,
free to choose a life that’s better for all of us.
So take a stand, in this place,
