I wanted to make one for Betty as well, but for the life of me I couldn't think of more than three songs that I felt fit her adequately. And Pete's sort of happened by accident.
I hate to break it to you, but there is no big lie, there is no system, the universe is indifferent.
radiohead | how to disappear completely
in a little while i'll be gone / the moment's already passed, yeah it's gone / and i'm not here, this isn't happening / i'm not here, i'm not here
todd snider | fortunate son (ft. patty griffin)
some folks are born to wave the flag / oh, they're red, white and blue / but when the band plays "hail to the chief" / they point the cannon at you / it ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no senator's son / it ain't me, it ain't me, i ain't no fortunate one
amos lee | black river
gonna take my cares away / you're gonna take my bottle, my bible, my mess / you're gonna take all of my empty and my loneliness / gonna take all of this sadness inside of me / gonna take it all and set me free
arcade fire | rococo
let’s go downtown and talk to the modern kids / they will eat right out of your hand / using great big words that they don’t understand / they’re singing rococo.../ they build it up just to burn it back down
death cab for cutie | the ice is getting thinner
we're not the same, dear, as we used to be / the seasons have changed and so have we / there was little we could say and even less that we could do / to stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you
download | don
Sometimes when people get what they want they realize how limited their goals were.
laura marling | the captain and the hourglass
behind every tree is a cutting machine and a kite fallen from grace / inside every man is a heart of sand you can see it in his face / he’ll tick tick tick tick tick tick tick away.../ if heaven is as heaven does, then this is hell for sure
cat power | metal heart
losing a star without a sky / losing the reasons why / you're losing the calling you've been faking / and I'm not kidding / it's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do / be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
emily jane white | wild tigers i have known
silence is a power and a tool for you, for you / wild tigers i have known, they send me down, messin' around.../ 'cause it's a man's world / say all the right words / and hold your heart from your chest
patrick watson | big bird in a small cage
well it was quarter to twelve and the boys walked in / they got their black suits on and the songs would begin / you open up your ears and hearts.../ you put a big bird in a small cage / and he'll sing you a song
ellie goulding | wovles
someday my pain, someday my pain will mark you / harness your blame, harness your blame / and walk through / with the wild wolves around you / in the morning, i'll call you / send it farther on
download | joan
Why does it have to be like this? Why can't I get anything good all at once?
rufus wainwright | poses
the green autumnal parks conducting / all the city streets a wondrous chorus singing / all these poses, oh how can you blame me / life is a game and true love is a trophy / and you said watch my head about it
mumford & sons | little lion man
weep for yourself, my man / you'll never be what is in your heart.../ but it was not your fault but mine / and it was your heart on the line / i really fucked it up this time, didn't i, my dear?
devotchka | the clockwise witness
if you win the rat race / if you come in first place / then a rat is all you will be / how long will this take? / how long must I wait? / my heart is sinking / what were we thinking? / i can't fake this anymore
ray lamontagne | empty
i never learned to count my blessings / i choose instead to dwell in my disasters.../ will i always feel this way / so empty, so estranged?
the national | 90-mile water wall
well i know that you know / that you've become the target of this hand / with never even asking / well i know that you know / that you're the only thing that i can stand / so how could your hair have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing
download | pete
I mean, I know what I’m supposed to want, but it just never feels right, or as important as anything in that office.
basia bulat | heart of my own
i've been alone when i sat by you.../ back home, what do i hold? / for the maid or the mother i'll be / if only the loom and a thread will hold
samantha crain | in smithereens, the search for affinity
what is it exactly you want from me? / an arm, a leg, my own two feet... / can't we just be two troubled souls in need? / and nothing more to speak of, to speak of
sophie madeline | don't think twice (it's all right)
but i wish there was somethin' you would do or say / to try and make me change my mind and stay / we never did too much talkin' anyway / but don't think twice, it's all right
bon iver | lovin's for fools (live, w/bowerbirds)
maybe you'll find me walking the garden / looking for something pure / roots that are growing deeper and deeper / maybe you'll pull them too / go on and love her, love her forever / i will not tell her i told you to
marina & the diamonds | numb
forego family, forego friends / that's how it started, and how it ends / i can't open up and cry, 'cause i've been silent all my life
download | peggy
