a new year's resolution
(inspired by papercrane and procrastination from thesis)
I've decided that I would really enjoy making one music mix each month of the songs I've been listening to. So here is January's mix! If you would like a copy, electronically or burned on cd (and I can mail it to you!), then comment saying so. It's a little eclectic, but I would say mostly folk and indie-themed.
1. Better Brains - Sonia Dada
2. Break It Down Baby - Robin Ella
3. You Are Everything - Redbird (R.E.M. cover)
4. Lord I Have Made You A Place In My Heart - Greg Brown
5. Two Little Feet - Karen Savoca (written by Greg Brown)
6. Heart of Soul - Beth Orton
7. The Yeah Yeah Yeah Song (With All Your Power) - The Flaming Lips
8. Fidelity - Regina Spektor
9. Bisbee Blue - Calexico
10. Instant Pleasure - Rufus Wainwright
11. Mama Don't - John Doe (with Dave Alvin and Veronica Jane)
12. For the Price of a Cup of Tea - Belle & Sebastian
13. Hot Soft Light - The Hold Steady
14. That Old Pair of Jeans (Slim fit) - Fatboy Slim
15. Why Don't We Do It In The Road? - The Beatles
16. Moonshiner - Redbird
17. She Moves In Secret Ways - Polly Paulusma
18. Buckets of Rain - Redbird (Dylan cover)
19. Lullaby - Greg Brown
for the price of a pint of milk I'll tell you all I know
about the state of the world today
sit down, enjoy the show
it’s hard to explain
I don’t like hanging on to reins in my hands all the time
you can’t watercolor a fire cracker (and it's a very dangerous thing to do exactly what you want)
I get lost in the sounds I hear in my mind
richer souls more eloquent, darling, than anything you're going to hear
what was it brought me to this place?
that's right
there are guys with wild eyes when they ask to get you high
there are girls that will come to you with comfort in the night
bare naked women keep coming in and they dance like you wouldn't believe
came to the consensus from all them opinions
that life is too short to be unhappy
how could that speed be where you want to be?
when you can't find the hours
days keep on slipping through
I'm in this kitchen and everything is beautiful
let me eat when I'm hungry, let me drink when I'm dry,
a dollar when I'm hard up, religion when I die,
the whole world's a bottle, and life's but a dram,
when the bottle gets empty it sure ain't worth a damn
I like your smile and your fingertips
I like the way you move your hips, and I like the cool way you look at me
everything about you is bringing me misery
two little feet to get me 'cross the city
my little hand to knock upon your door
half a mile or so and then I'll be knocking at your window
and you'll have to let me in, listen to my innuendos
oh mama don’t let me drink, I might get drunk on you
mama don’t let me sleep, ‘cause I’ll just dream of you
I look at you, and I think of bed
you move so cool and freely, and I know what's going on in your head,
oh, babe, you make me sleepy.
and in your arms I sleep so fine, so well do you meet me,
and you can wake me any time, oh, babe, I ain't that sleepy
why don't we do it in the road?
