streetkid!Miko mix n1: "I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen"
In theory, I am surfacing from midterms to work on papers the sequel to you haven't met me (I am the only son), in which Krista is awesome, and I'm remembering all over again how much I love Miko, but in the meantime: mix! Because music is love, and also it makes me feel productive.
If this looks like a lot of Mumford & Sons, it's because their album Sigh No More is responsible for a fair amount of Miko. Also, I love them, and that love has not abated since my first listen through of their album, so you should try them. /attempts to convert.

lenders in the temple | conor oberst
Those starving children, they ain't got no mother
There's pink flamingos living in the mall
I'd give a fortune to your infomercial
If somebody would just take my call
Take my call
…
There's money lenders inside the temple
This crystal city's going to fall apart
When all their power turns into vapour
If I miss you, well that's my fault
everybody | stabilo
Cause everybody wants and every body needs and everybody asks for one more piece,
Everybody wants to hear someone say please
Cause everybody takes and everybody steals everybody cries when something feels,
Everybody’s looking for the drug that heals
landlocked blues | bright eyes
And Laura's asleep in my bed
As I'm leaving, she wakes up and says
"I dreamed you were carried away on the crest of a wave
Baby, don't go away, come here"
…
And the world's got me dizzy again
You think after twenty-two years I'd be used to the spin
And it only feels worse when I stay in one place
So I'm always pacing around or walking away
acoustic #3 | goo goo dolls
And you know I see right through you
When the world gets in your way
What's the point in all the screaming
You're not listening anyway
feel the tide | mumford & sons
While the priest just sits and weeps
Lamenting the fact that he can see
Darkness and light in so much detail
He has given himself over
Refusing what he knows to be real
He turns away from every meal
Starving himself of goodness
He doesn't think he can heal
back 2 good | matchbox twenty
And everyone here, hates everyone here for doing just like
They do
It's best if we all keep this quiet instead
And I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doing me like
They do
But I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
To get it back to good
dustbowl dance | mumford & sons
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill
And now I am sure my heart can never be still
…
There will come a time I will look in your eye
You will pray to the God that you always denied
Then I'll go out back and I'll get my gun
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
failure | laura marling
people push right past me shouting their exclaims
a preacher pushes me aside and asked to wash my sins I said no, la laa
if he made me in his image, then he's a failure too
and I used to need a couple of people to keep my head down
now I need a whole lot more to keep me on the ground but oh, la laa
I gave up something and I gave it up for nothing and I am a failure now
bad moon rising | rasputina
I hear hurricanes a blowin'
I know the end is comin' soon
I fear rivers over flowing
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
& bonus:
the cave | mumford & sons
So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears
But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck
And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again
Hopefully, replies to comments and e-mails will be next up, and then the sequel that is rapidly turning into a novella :D
