Emiliana Torrini – Birds

Let’s stay awake and listen to the dark
Before the birds, before they all wake up
It’s the ending of a play
And soon begins another
Hear, the leaves applaud the wind

See the sun come rising
And white-wings start to fly
Like strings of pearls in the firey sky
I don’t wanna close my eyes
Don’t wanna leave the stage now
The leaves applaud our stay

Lend me your wings and teach me how to fly
Show me, when it rains
The place you go to hide
And the curtains draw again
And bow another day ends
The leaves applaud the wind

Neil Young – Heart of gold (live 1971)

I want to live
I want to give
I’ve been a miner for a heart of gold
It’s these expressions I never give
That keep me searching for a heart of gold
And I’m getting old

I’ve been to Hollywood
I’ve been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold
I’ve been in my mind, it’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a Heart of Gold

And I’m getting old

R. Sakamoto & Alva Noto – Inset

Morrissey – Alma Matters

So : the choice I have made
May seem strange to you
But who asked you, anyway ?
It’s my life to wreck
My own way

You see : to someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole
Because to someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole

So the life I have made
May seem wrong to you
But, I’ve never been surer
It’s my life to ruin
My own way

You see : to someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole
Because to someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
In part, and in whole

To someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
Part, and in whole
So to someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Alma matters
In mind, body and soul
Part, and in whole

To someone, somewhere, oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah

Sparklehorse – Heart of Darkness

She laid her head
On my chest
As the sun burned
Down the west
There’s one thing we still got
This one last dance in this parking lot

Oh yeah, i, I got a heart of darkness
Oh yeah, i, I got a heart of darkness

Then she woke up
Into the fire
And the flames kept
Dancing higher
Satan would laugh at her screams
Then she woke up from her dreams

Oh yeah, i, I got a heart of darkness
Oh yeah, i, I got a heart of darkness

Let’s start!
