004: So Just Be Gentle With Me
Aug 27th
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.
MONOCULAR - Beautiful

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
THE AGE OF ROCKETS -- 1001 Dirty Tricks to Kill Your King

LYRICS:

A new moon: fragile as glass same as the last
A new night: waits for you now, in back of your house
what’s better than being the first?
And armies of the dead will fade
in rearview mirrors display
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?

To the way I was

Take me back
This is no longer a sunny disposition
upon my face
I quiver in my thoughts
And all I feel

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

If I persist
If I persist
What is this?
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

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

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
his horn and tail
that’s all he liked
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

Here we are alone
under the same old moon

right through the dark
maybe I’ll find the light

SCIENCE FOR GIRLS -- Northern Lights

VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi3FUlqCHpg
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

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

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

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

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

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

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
and yelping from the pain
and yelping from the pain…
SCIENCE FOR GIRLS -- 14 Days
http://www.scienceforgirls.net
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
