Cassie Mix: Let The Sun Wrap Its Arms Around Me
Notes: I think that Cassie is a wonderful mix of whimsy and melancholy. She's fanciful and hopeful, but there is a dark side. I think these songs reflect those qualities.
Clever Meals - Tegan and Sara
i'm stripped and vital and i see rules that almost fit
and if i voice my opinion, will you stay and sit?
and as I stand here screaming in despair
i say yes this is my life and yes you should care
this song is my anthem and it makes up my ideals
and who i am has benefited from all my cleverly planned meals
Skin Is, My - Andrew Bird
my skin is white as parchment
drier than a downtown office building where the air is tight
there's time spent waiting for that macrame bird of prey
to come down and sing la-ling la-ling la-ling...
oh what a lovely sound
Yellow - Coldplay
look at the stars, look how they shine for you
and everything you do, yeah, they were all yellow
i came along, i wrote a song for you
and all the things you do and it was called yellow
Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley
i made wine from the lilac tree, put my heart in its recipe
it makes me see what i want to see and be what i want to be
when I think more than i want to think, do things i never should do
i drink much more that i ought to drink because it brings me back you
lilac wine is sweet and heady like my love
Dancing Barefoot - Patti Smith
she is re-creation. she, intoxicated by thee
she has the slow sensation that he is levitating with she ...
here i go and i don't know why,
i spin so ceaselessly, 'til i lose my sense of gravity...
i'm dancing barefoot heading for a spin
some strange music draws me in makes me come on like some heroin/e
Carousels - Beirut
carousels twirl all around exited youth. i do not mind at all.
we’re tonight in a world full of thrills
it can carry me up, far above it all.
it’s a long way down from here to the sound.
watch the faces go ‘round to the stars then the ground.
Une Année Sans Lumiere - Arcade Fire
hey! the street lights all burnt out
une année sans lumiere (a year without light)
je monte un cheval qui porte des oeilleres (i mount a horse who wears blinkers)
hey! my eyes are shooting sparks
Soul Meets Body - Death Cab For Cutie
i want to live where soul meets body ,
and let the sun wrap its arms around me,
and bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing,
and feel, feel what it's like to be new.
cuz in my head there's a greyhound station,
where i send my thoughts to far off destinations;
so they may have a chance of finding a place,
where they're far more suited than here.
Fallen From the Sky - Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova
you must've fallen from the sky
you must've shattered on the wrong way
you brought so many to life and now you're by yourself
there comes a point in every fight
where giving up seems like the only way
when everyone has said goodbye and now you're on your own
Above You - The Whitest Boy Alive
if you have a way of knowing every river can be crossed
lose the sparrow that had landed for the one that never was
there's a song for every dreamer as they climb over this fence
trading roses for the real world as the second week commences
where no one has control, where the young clipse the old
prejudice and wisdom, all the same, i want you
She Takes Her Clothes Off - Stereophonics
and she said i'm gonna be another marilyn
bleach my hair and get real thin
and everybody's gonna wanna dance with me
she loved to have her little fantasies
she longed to be the wife of jimmy dean
but jimmys head sits in jimmys knees
she loves to take her clothes off
We Are Nowhere and It’s Now - Bright Eyes
if you hate the taste of wine,
why do you drink it till you're blind?
and if you swear that there's no truth and who cares,
how come you say it like you're right?
why are you scared to dream of god,
when it's salvation that you want?
