Monthly Mix :: September 2012 :: The New Road Meanders
September
Homeward the new road meanders
Washed out the old road as to what did I bring
TWICE TODAY - PEARL AND THE BEARD
Twice today I found myself in love again
twice today I found myself in love again
Oh I love you more when you're gone and I can sleep again
I love you more
you've become the one I could still love when you are gone
and you've become the one I could still love when you are gone
BLOOD BANK - BON IVER
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know that we don't know how to tell
I'm in love with your honor, I'm in love with your cheeks
What's that noise up the stairs, babe?
Is that Christmas morning creaks?
THE ARTIST - THE HUSH SOUND
I know that you're an artist,
you're the hardest one to deal with.
Everything that you conceal
is revealed on your canvas.
You find all of your ugly meanings
in the things I find beautiful.
Do you see the fall is coming?
Come, I'm falling into you.
AMERICA - IMAGINE DRAGONS
Then I feel you close
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Feel you close like you wanted me to
Believe in you
Rise to the top of the world, America
America, don't you cry
Lift me up
Give me strength to press on
KILL THE DIRECTOR - THE WOMBATS
So with the angst of a teenage band
Here's another song about a gender i'll never understand
If this is a rom-com
Kill the director
LION'S MANE - EISLEY
Love is a scene I render
When you catch me wide awake
Love's a dream you enter
Though I shake and shake and shake you
Love is the best endeavor
Waiting in the lion's mane
SO JEALOUS - LISA MITCHELL
Well listen nothing fits and nothing rings a bell in my head
lighting up the fire and the city's painted blood red
Even though you're poison babe I wouldn't even hesitate
Just let it go, I just, I gotta get away now
HOLOCENE - BON IVER
And at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacant, thick without us
I could see for miles, miles, miles
A SEA CHANTY OF SORTS - MARGOT & THE NUCLEAR SO AND SO'S
Do what you like
You dont have to be nice
Just pour yourself a cup of coffee
Leave anytime you dont have to be right
You've gotta live the best you know how
And if you love well that should be enough
Instead it turns your joy int0 sorrow
And I can't breath with the dust of retreat
I'm choking on the fumes of my wayward back
MACHINE - REGINA SPEKTOR
I collect my moments
Into a correspondence
With a mightier power
Who just lacks my perspective
And who lacks my organics
And who covets my defects
And I'm downloaded daily
I am part of a composite
BOUND RED GIDEON - CHARLENE KAYE
Are you taking sips of loneliness and mouthfuls more of grief?
'Cause I don't know just what I'm looking for
A town or a person, a painting, a face
A song on my stereo telling me good love is on the way
Oh me of such little faith
There's no sense in wondering what was meant or what will be in time
But time and time again, I think of you and hope you're doing fine
Apart and free
Just a ghost, how you're meant to be
TO A POET - FIRST AID KIT
It always takes me by surprise
how dark it gets this time of the year
And how apparent it all becomes
that you're not close, not even near
No matter how many times I tell myself
I have to be sincere
I have a hard time standing up
and facing those fears
FORGET AND NOT SLOW DOWN - RELIENT K
How many times
Can I push it aside
Is it time I befriended all the ghosts of all the things that haunt me most
So that they leave me alone
Move on with my life
Be certain the steps of left and right don't fight the direction of upright
I'd rather forget and not slow down
Than gather regret for the things I can't change now
If I become what I can't accept
Resurrect the saint from within the wretch
Pour over me and wash my hands of it
DAWN OF THE DEAD - DOES IT OFFEND YOU, YEAH?
Like the dead that walk before me therein
I can't believe that you ignore me, such a shame
I didn't come here to try to hurt you, you hurt me
I'll never sit back and say, "that'll do," I'm afraid.
Today I stood and walked away
I'm never coming back this way
I've got my things, I'm here to stay
I'll try to pull the night away
HOMEWARD THESE SHOES - IRON & WINE
Homeward the new road meanders
Washed out the old road as to what did I bring
Flowers, a verse about springtime
Perchance in the treeline she's awaiting for me
Homeward these shoes worn to paper
Thin as the reason I left here so young
Homeward and what if I see her
There in the doorway I walked away from
DANCE TILL THE MORNING LIGHT - SLOW CLUB
I saw you in the background the other day
On a television see some story grey
You were sat on the steps of the new courthouse
Spinning that wheel, you said you'd show me how
You chased me through a carriage on a train
But I reached the next one before you came
And I pulled out the pin between yours and mine
I kept going, you got left behind
Because there's always that someone who'll be easier on your eye
So forget the politics of living alone and just dance til the morning light
CALL THEM BROTHERS - REGINA SPEKTOR FT. ONLY SON
Over and over they call us their friends
Can't we find something else to pretend?
Like nobody's won and we're safe at the end
In the darkness the film machine's spinning
So let's leave it on
We'll be out in the street
before anyone knows that we're gone
BE MY ESCAPE (ACOUSTIC) - RELIENT K
I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self-detained, and forced to live in this mess I've made
And all I'm asking is for You to do what You can with me
But I can't ask You to give what You already gave
Cause I've been housing all this doubt and insecurity
And I've been locked inside that house, all the while You hold the key
And I've been dying to get out, and that might be the death of me
And even though there's no way of knowing where to go
I promise I'm going
