VANDERLYLE CRYBABY GEEKS | the national
leave your home. change your name.
live alone. eat your cake.
[...] i'll explain everything to the geeks.
all the very best of us string ourselves up for love.


KEEP YOU RIGHT | blind pilot
the stars wash over me, so far away that i can barely breathe
from where i lay. never have i been so far from home o'er the years,
i was cut from sand and rain. [...] my heart longs for too much,
mine eyes have hardly seen enough to know it's need.
[...] you give me anything you want to,
now i'm bound to keep you right.


BLOODBUZZ OHIO | the national
i never thought about love
when i thought about home.


LOVE DOG | tv on the radio
nameless you above me, come lay me low and love me,
this lonely little love dog that no one knows the name of.
curse me out in free verse, and wrap me up and reverse this.
patience is a virtue until its silence burns you,
and something slow has started in me, as shameless as an ocean
and mirrored in devotion. something slow has sparked up in me
as a dog cries for a master, and sparks are swirling faster.


DECEMBER'S TRADITIONS | frightened rabbit
the boy needs sunlight and the shock of modesty.
he needs to get some sleep.
it's not the answer, sticking plaster on a shattered bone.
what do you need? what do you need from me?


THE ONLY MOMENT WE WERE ALONE | explosions in the sky
instrumental.


THE COLORED NIGHT | blind pilot
i was in between. i wasn't offering. i was a burning branch.
close to feeling tall, almost afraid to fall, i was made of chance.
[...] oh, lines will blur, but you've got a face like no other.
i keep it where i see things right. oh, darkness comes,
but you've got a way like no other one.


ON A DAY LIKE TODAY | keane
i saw you were sick and tired of my wrong turns.
if you only knew the way i feel, i'd really love to tell you,
but i can never find the words to say, and i don't know why.


MY BACKWARDS WALK | frightened rabbit
i'm working on my faults and cracks,
filling in the blanks and gaps,
and when i write them out they don't make sense.
i need you to pencil in the rest.


LUSITANIA | andrew bird feat. annie clark
if you loosen liable lips, you keep sinking all my ships.
oh, then you're the one who sank my lusitania,
but somehow it don't register as pain at all.
[...] you laid mines along your shore.
through my hull they ripped and tore.
[...] go ahead, say something dumb, boy, there's no shame.


THIS HEART'S ON FIRE | wolf parade
and you're my favorite thing, tell it everywhere i go.
i don't know what to do.
this heart's on fire.


SLOW SHOW | the national
i wanna hurry home to you, put on a slow, dumb show for you,
and crack you up. so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain.
god, i'm very, very frightening; i'll overdo it.


3 ROUNDS AND A SOUND | blind pilot
the seasons will change us new, but you're the best i've known,
and you know me. i could not be stuck on you if it weren't true.
[...] now i see you, 'til kingdom come, you're the one i want
to see me for all the stupid shit i've done.


HOME | explosions in the sky
