The Fray - How to save a life

Step one, you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life




this video is the best .. amazing!

Nelly Furtado - Try

Beautiful song, beautiful videoclip ..




All I know
is everything is not as it's sold
And the more I grow
the less I know
And I have lived so many lives
Though I'm not old
And the more I see, the less I know
The fewer the seeds, the more I sow

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try

I wish I hadn't seen all of the realness
And all the real people are really not real at all
The more I learn, the more I learn
The more I cry, the more I cry
As I say goodbye to a way of life
I thought I had designed for me

Then I see you standing there
Wanting more from me
And all I can do is try
Then I see you standing there
I'm all I'll ever be
But all I can do is try
Try ...

All of the moments that already passed
We'll try to go back and make them last
All of the things we want each other to be
We never will be, we never will be

And that's wonderful,
and that's life
And that's you, baby
This is me, baby
And we are
we are
we are
we are
we are
we are
we are
Free
In our love
We are free in our love

Lonnie Rathie - Heaven

Someday soon I'll find out just what I've been waiting for
Someday soon I know that my time will come
Someday soon I'll stand outside that open golden door
I'll be so grateful that my number has come up

And I will be so peaceful
And I will feel so strong
And I will not question my maker
And I will try to carry on

Someday soon I'll find out just what I've been aching for
Someday soon I'll understand it all
And I have lived so long believing in this heaven
I could not bear it if I found out I was wrong

And I will be so quiet
And I will be all alone
And I'll stand back, you will not notice me
But you'll feel me when I'm gone

And all that sweetness, all that goodness
will get you somewhere in the end
Don't think your good deeds go unnoticed
'Cause it'll all catch up to you, my friend

When I get back I hope that I just don't forget it all
Because the journey will have just begun
I'll take all I have learned and I will apply it to
this crazy situation that is life

I'll be the silent one that no one ever sees
And I will guide you to the promise land
You will not ever remember me
But I'll leave something in the palm of your hand

And all that sweetness, all that goodness
will get you somewhere in the end
Don't think your good deeds go unnoticed
'Cause it'll all catch up to you, my friend

Someday soon I'll find out just what I've been waiting for
Someday soon I know that my time will come
Someday soon I'll stand outside that open golden door
I'll be so grateful that my number has come up

And I will be so peaceful
And I will feel so strong
And I wil not question my maker
And I will try to carry on

And all that sweetness, all that goodness
will get you somewhere in the end
Don't think your good deeds go unnoticed
'Cause it'll all catch up to you, my friend
My friend...

One of my favorite songs of all times...
It's exceptional for a song to touch me every time I listen to it, over and over again.
I feel a great affinity with the lyrics, they are so beautiful.. I recognise my own thoughts every time.

Damien Rice (featuring Lisa Hannigan) - 9 crimes

Lisa:
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
to be thinking of you
It's the wrong time
for somebody new
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

And is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded
Is that alright with you?
With you ...

Damien:
Leave me out with the waste
This is not what I do
It's the wrong kind of place
to be cheating on you
It's the wrong time
She's pulling me through
It's a small crime
And I've got no excuse

And is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded (Lisa: Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it? (Lisa: Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded (Lisa: Is that alright with you?)
Is that alright, is that alright with you?

Is that alright with you?
Give my gun away when it's loaded (Lisa: It's not alright)
Is that alright with you?
If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it? (Lisa: It's not alright)
Is that alright, yeah?
Give my gun away when it's loaded (Lisa: It's not alright)
Is that alright, is that alright with you?

Damien: Is that alright yeah?
Lisa: Give my gun away when it's loaded
Damien: Is that alright yeah?
Lisa: If you don't shoot it, how am I supposed to hold it?

Damien: Is that alright, is that alright, is that alright?

Damien: No...

Bloc Party - This Modern Love

To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book
To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid

To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me
You bought me a book

To be lost in the forest
To be cut adrift
I've been paid
I've been paid
I've been

Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts
And keep making me smile, oh
Don't get offended
If I seem absent minded
I get tongue-tied

Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
I'll be yours

I'll pay for you
Anytime
I'll pay for you
Anytime

And you told me you wanted
to eat up my sadness
Well, jump on, enjoy,
you can gorge away
And you told me you wanted
to eat up my sadness
Jump right

Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've never known what's good for me
Baby, you've got to be more demanding
Jump left

What are you holding out for?
What's always in the way?
Why so damn absent minded?
Why so scared of romance?

This modern love
breaks me
This modern love
wastes me

This modern love
breaks me
This modern love
wastes me

Do you wanna come over and kill me some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill me some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill me some time?

Throw your arms around me

Nelly Furtado - All Good Things (Come To An End)

Honestly, what will become of me?
Don't like reality,
it's way too clear to me
But really, life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?

Travelling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die, die, die, die, die ...

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?
Come to an end, come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
so that they could die

Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart

Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit lonely
and you're never coming 'round
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit tired
of listening to the sound of my tears
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit nervous
that the best of all the years have gone by
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
and then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit restless
and I dream of something wild
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit helpless
and I'm lying like a child in your arms
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit angry
and I know I've got to get out and cry
Turn around,
Every now and then I get a little bit terrified
but then I see the look in your eyes
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do
and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight


Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart


Turn around, bright eyes
Turn around, bright eyes

Turn around,
Every now and then I know you'll never be the boy
you always you wanted to be
Turn around,
Every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy
who wanted me the way that I am
Turn around,
Every now and then I know there's no one in the universe
as magical and wonderous as you
Turn around,
Every now and then I know there's nothing any better
and there's nothing I just wouldn't do

Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart
Turn around, bright eyes
Every now and then I fall apart


And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if you'll only hold me tight
We'll be holding on forever
And we'll only be making it right
'Cause we'll never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I don't know what to do
and I'm always in the dark
We're living in a powder keg
and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now I'm only falling apart
There's nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now there's only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

The Bodeans - Closer to free

Everybody wants to live

How they wanna live

And everybody wants to love

Like they wanna love

And everybody wants to be

Closer to free

Everybody wants respect

Just a little bit

And everybody needs a chance

Once in a while

Everybody wants to be

Closer to free

Everybody one

Everybody two

Everybody free

Everybody needs to touch
You know now and then

And everybody wants a good good friend
Everybody wants to be

Closer to free

Everybody wants to live

How they want to live

And everybody wants to love

Who they want to love

And everybody wants to be

Closer to free

[This was the "Party of Five" theme song :) God, I loved that show so much! I still do actually, although it isn't broadcasted anymore..]

Placebo - Protège-moi

C'est le malaise du moment
L'épidémie qui s'étend
La fête est finie, on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, visage gris
Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudit qu'on appelle maison

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me
Protect me

Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi

Sommes-nous les jouets du destin
Souviens toi des moments divins
Planants, éclatés au matin
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seul
Perdus les rêves de s'aimer
Le temps où on avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seul

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me
Protect me

Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me
Protect me

Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me
Protect me
...

Protect me
Protect me
Protège-moi
