Songs: Rhett Miller, Beat Radio
htbthomas pointed me to Sendspace as a possibility for avoiding the evil of other filesharing pages. Thought I'd test it out by putting up two songs from my personal "Nightwing & Flamebird" soundtrack, although they work really well for various characters, and as a pair are very nice hurt/comfort. Let me know if Sendspace is a kinder, gentler service if you try them!
Rhett Miller, "Meteor Shower"
This song is heartbreakingly gorgeous and angsty. It kills me.
I cannot make light, I'm so burnt out
I know where you are
I cannot believe how much it hurts
I'm a fallen star...
Love gets you in the gut
takes the top off of your head
and makes you wish that you were dead...
Drugs help but not enough
take the roof off of your mind
and scoop out everything you find...
(chorus)
Meteor shower
Meteor shower
I cannot make light I'm so burnt out
I know where you are
I cannot believe how much it hurts
I'm a fallen star...
(verse 2)
Time sneaks up from behind
puts you six feet underground
while the world keeps spinnin' round
(chorus)
(break)
(chorus)
Love gets you in the gut
takes the top off of your head
and makes you wish that you were...
Beat Radio, "Fearful"
A response, I suppose. :) Quiet and dreamy.
I know the ghosts of memory
are waging wars inside your mind
just walk with me into the light
you will be fine
Be not so fearful now my love
I'll come and cover you with wings
be not so anxious all the time
listen to how the highway sings
I know the ghosts of memory
are waging wars inside your mind
just walk with me into the light
you will be fine
I know the walls are closing in
I know your heart is in your throat
under the blue tv screen light
into a new dream we shall float
leave all those books upon your shelf
there is no need for certainty
the answers come when you embrace the mystery
You move so fast
just take it slow
my love will follow you wherever you may go
my love will follow you wherever you may go
You're up against the yellow lines
and you've been holding on so tight
when all your dreams went up in smoke
you stumbled out into the night
and you've been running all the time
your troubles follow you around
and all the people that you meet just bring you down
Be not so fearful now my love
I'll come and cover you with wings
be not so anxious all the time
listen to how the highway sings
I know the ghosts of memory
are waging wars inside your mind
just walk with me into the light
you will be fine
you move so fast
just take it slow
my love will follow you wherever you may go
my love will follow you wherever you may go
