Everything is more or less in chronological order of events.
I think. I hope.
1. Thomas Newman,“Angels in America”
[
listen]
(instrumental)
2. Josiah Leming, “Angels Undercover”
[
listen]
Take me to the church where my father and my mother
Prayed for me and my dear brother
While the angels undercover cursed our names
Children, do you believe in Heaven?
Tell me, do you believe in Heaven?
‘Cause there’s a place that’s filled with flames
And it’s calling out your name
3. Bright Eyes, “From A Balance Beam”
[
listen]
It was in a foreign hotel's bathtub
I baptized myself in change
And one by one I drowned all of the people I had been
I emerged to find the parallels were fewer
I was cleansed
I looked in the mirror and someone new was there
4. Joy Division, “Heart and Soul”
[
listen]
Soulless and bent on destruction
A struggle between right and wrong
You take my place in the showdown
I'll observe with a pitiful eye
I'd humbly ask for forgiveness
A request well beyond you and I
5. Rotersand, “Exterminate, Annihilate, Destroy”
[
listen]
Show me my leader and I’ll pledge obedience
Whisper the name of the enemy mine
Blessed be my fate and my tools of expedience
I'm going to fulfil what's my mission divine
Exterminate, annihilate, destroy
6. Monsters Of Folk, “Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)"
[
listen]
Well I've been thinking about
And I've been breaking it down
Without an answer
I know I'm thinking aloud
But if your love’s still around
Why do we suffer?
Why do we suffer?
7. Iron & Wine, “Such Great Heights (Postal Service cover)”
[
listen]
And I have to speculate
That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay
And true, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death
8. Simon & Garfunkel, “The Sound of Silence”
[
listen]
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they mad
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the signs said the words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
9. Placebo, “Peeping Tom”
[
listen]
I'm just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose
I'm weightless, I'm bare
I'm faithless, I'm scared
10. 30 Seconds to Mars, “Bad Romance (Lady Gaga cover)”
[
listen]
I want your love, I want your disease
I want you open-mouthed and on your knees
I want your love
Love, love, love
11. Rolling Stones, “Under My Thumb”
[
listen]
Under my thumb
The squirmin' dog who's just had her day
Under my thumb
A girl who has just changed her ways
It's down to me, yes it is
The way she does just what she's told
Down to me, the change has come
She's under my thumb
12. Coldplay, “Lost? (Acoustic)”
[
listen]
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get
What I deserve
No better and no worse
I just got lost
13. The Smiths, “Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want”
[
listen]
Haven't had a dream in a long time
See, the life I've had
Can make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows it would be the first time
14. Ivy Levan, “Red”
[
listen]
Catastrophe, impure, and unclean
Painful honesty of what is humanity
Weak and exposed, don't cover the lens
Vile perfection but broken at ends
15. Depeche Mode, “Precious”
[
listen]
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through
16. Bran Van 3000, “Predictable”
[
listen]
And like you say
I can change
They can fix me
Remix me
Seduce and abandon me
Build me like Tetris
Pile pieces around me
It’s so easy
For once in your life
Just say I’m worthy
17. Sondre Lerche, “Is It Okay If I Call You Mine? (Paul McCrane cover)”
[
listen]
Is it okay if I call you mine
Just for a time
And I will be just fine
If I know that you know
That I'm wanting, needing your love
18. 10cc, “I’m Not In Love”
[
listen]
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that’s lying there
So don’t you ask me to give it back
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me
19. Trash Palace, “Bad Girl”
[
listen]
It makes perfect sense
And all at your expense
I'm taking full control
So you just sell your soul
Can you really take all I'm giving?
I'm good at being a bad girl
I've got the ways to bring you to your knees
I'm good for being bad and you'll be begging
Please, please, please
20. David Bowie, “Within You”
[
listen]
Everything I've done, I've done for you
I move the stars for no one
You've run so long
You've run so far
Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel
Though I do believe in you
21. Empires, “I Want Blood”
[
listen]
Quiet now, you're sucking the charm out
I tried the "get you to love" route
But now the monster in rage holds me down
Anger's a lesser disaster
The truth is I got a fever
Your scream insanity, I'll be right there
I want blood, I want blood from you
If it ain't your love, I want blood from you
22. Jeff Buckley, “Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen cover)”
[
listen]
Maybe there is a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
23. The Church, “Under the Milky Way”
[
listen]
And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight
24. Muse, “Citizen Erased”
[
listen]
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They will only bring us pain
And I've seen, all I'll ever need
25. Bright Eyes, “No One Would Riot For Less”
[
listen]
He says help me out
Hell is coming
Could you do it now?
Hell is here
Do you see the sterile soil
Poisoned sky, yellow water
The final scraps of life
Bringing new tears
26. Placebo, “Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush cover)”
[
listen]
And if I only could
Make a deal with God
And get him to swap our places
Be running up that road
Be running up that hill
With no problems
27. Mylon LeFevre, “Crack the Sky”
[listen]
I know You’ve got me where You want me to be
I know You’ve got a plan to use even me
But I long for You, I long for You
So now I’ll work until You’re ready for me
But I don’t know if I can guarantee
That I’ll never cry, never try to get You
28. Explosions In The Sky, “So Long, Lonesome”
[
listen]
(instrumental)
29. Tattle Tale, “Glass Vase Cello Case”
[
listen]
Breathe into my hands
I'll cup them like a glass to drink from
Are you still, still breathing?
30. Cat Stevens, “Morning Has Broken”
[
listen]
Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
31. Belle & Sebastian, “If You Find Yourself Caught in Love”
[
listen]
If you find yourself caught in love
Say a prayer to the man above
You should thank Him for every day you pass
Thank Him for saving your sorry ass
