I got the letter “A” from Jiyu.
I'm not uploading any of these songs (lol afraid of the internet police) but I WILL link to Youtube videos of them so you can listen to the music. :)
Abbey Road Medley; The Beatles
Well you should see Polythene Pam
She's so good-looking but she looks like a man
Well you should see her in drag dressed in her polythene bag
Yes you should see Polythene Pam
song, part 1 (part two is linked to in the sidebar of the video) Apun Ki Toli; ‘Alag’ soundtrack (Bollywood)
LOL song and ridiculous place it comes from in the film Another Brick in the Wall; Pink Floyd (for the record, the part that starts at 1:26 [in my version of this] always makes me think iTunes switched to the Lion King soundtrack on me for a moment)
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers leave them kids alone
song Any Road AND Awaiting on You All; George Harrison (I couldn't pick just one of them, don't judge me ;0;)
But oh Lord we've got to fight
With the thoughts in the head with the dark and the light
No use to stop and stare
And if you don't know where you're going
Any road will take you there
//
If you open up your heart
You will know what I mean
We've been polluted so long
Now here's a way for you to get clean
By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
Chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
...
You don't need no church house
And you don't need no Temple
You don't need no rosary beads or them books to read
...
And while the Pope owns 51% of General Motors
And the stock exchange is the only thing he's qualified to quote us
The lord is awaiting on you all to awaken and see
By chanting the names of the lord and you'll be free
George Harrison's faith was beautiful and to be honest, learning more about him was what made me less afraid of religion/spirituality.
any road //
awaiting on you all Are You The One?; The Presets
I don't why I've got it so bad
But somehow I got
Out of the fryin' pan, I'm in a new file.
song Aşk Hiç bitmez (Yaramazım); Gülben Ergen
(To be honest, no, I don’t know what even the title means, let alone the rest of the lyrics. I got it for free as part of a CD of Turkish pop music and it’s catchy as hell, though.)
ask hiç bitmez,bitmez derler
yanlis..
seven gözden düser mi,düsmez derler
yanlis..
kabullenmek zor oldu,bi göründü bi kayboldu
varsin kaybolsun
onsuz günler geçmez derler
yanlis..
kader adam seçer mi,seçmez derler
yanlis..
kabullenmek zor oldu,içim yandi kor oldu
varsin kor olsun
song At My Most Beautiful; R.E.M.
At my most beautiful
I count your eyelashes, secretly
With every one, whisper I love you
I let you sleep
I know you're closed-eye watching me,
Listening
I thought I saw a smile
song At The Zoo; Simon and Garfunkle
The monkeys stand for honesty,
Giraffes are insincere,
And the elephants are kindly but
They're dumb.
Orangutans are skeptical
Of changes in their cages,
And the zookeeper is very fond of rum.
song Aum Mani Padme Hum; artist unknown (Buddhist monks chanting a mantra)
song All The Way / 4U; Poets of the Fall
(please don’t let the immensely dumb-sounding title scare you away; this is an incredibly sweet and simplistic love song ;; ♥)
This was my first absolute-favorite band and while they're no longer my favorite I still listen to them with a tender sort of bias. ♥
Seems to matter what I say, so I'll hold my tongue at bay
And rather use my mouth to kiss your frown away
So your doubts no longer darken your day
So you can hold your head up high come what may
So please remember that I'm gonna follow through all the way
Cos it seems to matter where I go, I will always let you know
That the place where I am is never far
You know, you're not alone, don't be alarmed
I'll find you no matter where you are
