The Collapse of Laputa - Joe Hisaishi
[instrumental]
Changeling Child - Heather Dale
The wind blows low and mournful through the strap of Damocles
Where once there lived a woman who would a mother be
For fifty years she rocked that babe
It's said she rocks him still
The mother of a changeling child
From 'neath the fairy hill
War On Drugs - Barenaked Ladies
She likes to sleep with the radio on
So she can dream of her favorite song
The one that no one has ever sung since she was small
She'll never know that she made it up
She had a soul and we ate it up
Thrown away like a paper cup
The music falls
Jealous of the Moon - Nickel Creek
I hate to see a friend of mine,
Laughing out loud when she's crying inside,
but you've got your pride.
Staring down the stars, jealous of the moon
You wish you could fly.
But you're staying where you are
There's nothing you could do,
if you're too scared to try.
Fallen Flowers - Steve McDonald
Son, if I could roll back the years
If I could see you through these tears
If I could face all of my fears (I would)
I would give everything in vain
Just to hold you once again
What I Wouldn't Give - Holly Brook
Feeling like I can't forgive, but I want to
it's like I don't know how to live, I’m afraid to
I used to think take them as they come, without hesitations, no
now it's like my head is filled with lies, and persuasions
Sound the Bugle - Bryan Adams
Sound the bugle now - play it just for me
As the seasons change - remember how I used to be
Now I can't go on - I can't even start
I've got nothing left - just an empty heart
I'm a soldier - wounded so I must give up the fight
There's nothing more for me - lead me away...
Or leave me lying here
Throw Me a Rope - KT Tunstall
I got used to you whispering things to me into the evening,
we followed the sun, and its colours, and left this world,
it seems to me, that I'm definitely, hearing the best that I've heard,.
so throw me a rope, to hold me in place,
show me a clock, for counting my days, down,
cause everythings easier when you're beside me,
come back and find me,
cause I feel alone.
And Then There Were None - Spring Awakening
Uh huh…uh huh…uh huh…well, fine
Not like it’s even worth the time
But still, you know, you wanted more
Sorry, it won’t change - been there before
The Big Sleep - Murder By Death
And the taste on your tongue
Well it comes yeah it comes
With the bittersweet pang of remorse and pain
Till the judgment is made
The prosecution's won
The gavel has fallen and justice is done
Dust In the Wind - Kansas
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
I Need Some Sleep - Eels
Everyone says I’m getting down too low
Everyone says: "You just gotta let it go"
"You just gotta let it go"
I just gotta let it go
No Voice
Dear Jason, there will be tears today
But we'll get through and you'll be there
I'll leave a chair for you, you made it too
You held your mystery so close
But I knew, I knew your way
Never found the words to say
Always thought we'd talk one day
Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind
Awful sweet to be a little butterfly.
Just wingin' over things
And nothing deep inside.
Nothing goin', goin' wild in you, you know.
You're slowing by the riverside,
Or floatin' high and blue.
Shiola - Murder By Death
They take and take
But never get their fill
I try and try
But fail against my will
I wait and wait for that hand to sweep me up
And take me down that road
Doubting Thomas - Nickel Creek
Can I be used to help others find truth,
When I'm scared I'll find proof that its a lie,
Can I be lead down a trail dropping bread crumbs,
That prove I'm not ready to die,
Please give me time to decipher the signs,
Please forgive me for time that I've wasted
A Space Between - ThouShaltNot
(can never decipher the lyrics here properly)
Maximilien - Michiru Oshima
[instrumental]
The Swan Song - Within Temptation
Winter has come for me, can't carry on.
The chains to my life are strong but soon they'll be gone.
I'll spread my wings one more time.
Is it a dream?
All the ones I have loved calling out my name.
The sun warms my face.
All the days of my life, I see them passing me by.
The Kill - 30 Seconds to Mars
What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do?
What if I fell to the floor
Couldn't take all this anymore
What would you do, do, do?
Come break me down
Marry me, bury me
I am finished with you
Long, Long Time Ago - Javier Navarette
[instrumental]
Passage - Vienna Teng (it is worth noting that this is the one song that actually gets me to cry.)
My lover holds a knife to wrist
Says tomorrow comes, hold on a while
My mother tosses in the sheets
And dreams me holding my own child
My sister plays our homemade tapes
Laughs as tears run down her face
My office door now wears a different name
Can't Complain - Nickel Creek
I cheated on her with a friend of mine
There are no days when we don't fight
But remember I warned her and I'm a guy
So she can't complain, no she can't complain
Say My Name - Within Temptation
You touch my hand
These colors come alive
In your heart and in your mind
I cross the borders of time
Leaving today behind to be with you again
Who Will Love Me Now? - PJ Harvey
In the forest is a monster
It has done terrible things
So in the woods it's hiding
And this is the song it sings:
"Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me:
'You are my desire, I set you free?'"
Ever After - bare
So much for our ever after
You can't be the same boy I followed...thought I'd always follow
You've hurt me more than you know
All that I wanted was you, you were my tomorrow...
The Lighthouse's Tale - Nickel Creek
Then on the next day, my keeper found her washed up on the shore
He kissed her cold face, that they'd be together soon he'd swore
I saw him crying, watched as he buried her in the sand
And then he climbed my tower, and off of the edge of me he ran
Empty Chairs at Empty Tables - Les Miserables
There's a grief that can't be spoken.
There's a pain goes on and on.
Empty chairs at empty tables
Now my friends are dead and gone.
Here they talked of revolution.
Here it was they lit the flame.
Here they sang about `tomorrow'
And tomorrow never came.
Those You've Known - Spring Awakening
Those you’ve known
And lost, still walk behind you
All alone
They linger till they find you
Without them
The world grows dark around you
And nothing is the same until you know that they have found you
Nowhere Man - Paul Westerberg
He's a real Nowhere Man,
Sitting in his Nowhere Land,
Making all his nowhere plans
for nobody.
Whispering - Spring Awakening
Listening
To the souls in the fool's night
Fumbling mutely with their rude hands
And there's heartache without end
See the father bent in grief
The mother dressed in mourning
Sister crumbles, and the neighbors grumble
The preacher issues warnings
Finale - Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog
Arise and see
So your world’s benign
So you think justice has a voice and we all have a choice
Well now your world is mine
And I am fine…
Now the nightmare’s real
Now Dr. Horrible is here to make you quake with fear
To make the whole world kneel
And I wont feel … a thing
Windmills - Blackmore's Night
She was wounded and wild when he found her
He saw her through child’s eyes
She fell for the spell he was under
Each day a brand new surprise
Forgiven - Within Temptation
You gave up the fight
You left me behind
All that's done's forgiven
You'll always be mine
I know deep inside
All that's done's forgiven
A Princess - Javier Navarette
[instrumental]
Just in case you wanted to feel a little sad...
