Songbirds of the Summer - A Female Artist Tribute

[nytel]

This is just a little mix of the songs I've been listening to this summer. And they are all by amazing female artists.

001. Sunrise - Norah Jones
Sunrise, sunrise
Couldn't tempt us if it tried
Cuz the afternoon's already come and gone

~*~*~

002. Bird of the Summer - A Fine Frenzy
My cheeks red like fire engines racing
Straight to the heat of your skin
And I know our days are numbered, early bird of the summer
You'll fly south just as the fall begins

~*~*~

003. Bouncing Off Clouds - Tori Amos
Well you can stare all day at the sky
But that won't bring her back
That won't bring her back
You say you're waiting on fate
But I think fate is now
I think fate is now
Waiting on us

~*~*~

004. Prescilla - Bat for Lashes
There's a girl that wants to start
Been thinking about having a couple of kids
Comb a brush around their heads in the morning
To be needed, simply and with meaning

~*~*~

005. Not Tonight - Tegan & Sara
What will bring me home
What will make me stay, stay
What will bring me home
What will make me stay, stay
Well I don't know

~*~*~

006. 22 - Lily Allen
It's sad but it's true how society says
Her life is already over
There's nothing to do and there's nothing to say
Til the man of her dreams comes along picks her up and puts her over his shoulder
It seems so unlikely in this day and age

~*~*~

007. A Place Called Home - PJ Harvey
I walk and I wade
Through full lands and lonely
I stumble, I stumble
With you I wait
To be born again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me

~*~*~

008. Howl - Florence + The Machine
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart

~*~*~

009. Breakin' Up - Rilo Kiley
Betrayal is a thorny crown
You wear it well
Just like a king
Revenge is the saddest thing
Honey, I'm afraid to say
You deserve everything

~*~*~

010. Ooh La La - Goldfrapp
Switch me on
Turn me up
I want to touch you
You're just made for love

~*~*~

011. Agree to Disagree - Meg & Dia
There's something about giving up, it sounds so bittersweet
Think I'll throw in the towel right now
I'll lay low on the ground and I'll be on my feet
When I can breathe, when I'm good and ready

~*~*~

012. Steer - Missy Higgins
But the search ends here
Where the night is totally clear
And your heart is fierce
So now you finally know
That you control where you go, you can steer

~*~*~

013. Who You Are Without Me - Kate Voegele
Well you tell me I'm beautiful
It feels empty and I don't know why
But it seems that you're searching me
For something you're not gonna find

~*~*~

014. Worn Me Down - Rachael Yamagata
Worn me down like a road
I did everything you told
Worn me down to my knees
I did everything to please
But you can't stop thinking about her
No, you can't stop thinking about her

~*~*~

015. A Good Start - Maria Taylor
And it's a shame now, baby
You can't see yourself, in everything you're running from.
And it's the same world, honey, that has brought you down
As the one that's gonna pick you up

~*~*~

016. You and I - Ingrid Michaelson
Oh, let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the south of France
Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance
Let's get rich and build our house on a mountain, making everybody look like ants
From way up there, you and I, you and I
