Smokey and the Candidates✈ Island Jams and B-Sides
Island Jams
o1. River Styx ✈ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Will you take my hand
Will you take my hand
Will you take my hand down to the water's edge
Where every sin has been washed away
o2. The Well and the Lighthouse ✈ Arcade Fire
Resurrected
Living in a lighthouse
If you leave the ships are gonna wreck
Resurrected
Living in a lighthouse
o3. Your Protector ✈ Fleet Foxes
You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming home
o4. New World In My View ✈ Sister Gertrude Morgan and King Britt
Come on yeah nonny, help me to run this holy righteous place
Can't you yell then, save your calling, well he's knocking at your door today.
o5. Beat the Devil's Tattoo ✈ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
There is no peace here; war is never cheap here
Love will never meet, it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it, all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids and let your demons run

Future Reflections✈MGMT
And there were future reflections
On the face and the hands
On a green colored island
On a primitive man
It was the future reflected
It felt familiar but new
A street was missing a building
The kids had something to do
There was a feeling the spirit was leaving
Red like a marker
So my tribe, with my knife
Cut the heart from a lonely life
I saw patterns on floorboards
Deep in the dust was a leader
Someone was walking on floorboards
Turned them from oak to cedar
He can assess the situation
I wrapped a string around my finger
Into the forest with the young ones
I don't expect to be a winner
But as long as you feel it
I'm a believer
My heart is phosphor
Sea rolls and death tolls
Break the surface don't break my bones
Off of the trail and off of your hands and
Onto a new plan
Is the cost to stay lost
Forever in an empty skin
Pale and thin
If it's good, or if it's fortune, I can't tell
But pieces come together for some reason just as well
Their guns couldn't see us
There's a sea outside my door
And one day I'll appreciate
The rush of blood and the washed out beat of the shore
And remember what it felt like
To be alone
Sitting in the sunlight
All alone

B-Sides:
o6. Half-State ✈ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
It's a place we can never call our own
It's a falling wind that calls our souls
It's a cruel world that lets us go
o7. How to disappear completely ✈ Radiohead
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
o8. 4th Dimensional Transition ✈ MGMT
If what they say is true
You are a shadow in the fourth dimension
To float away with you
We see the corners where nothing happens
While we drifted we were one
Ceilings lifted walls were gone
You speak the language of the breeze
All your leaves were meant for me
The love that every person wants to be
o9. My Body Is A Cage ✈ Arcade Fire
I'm living in an age
That calls darkness light
Though my language is dead
Still the shapes fill my head
1o. Shuffle Your Feet ✈ Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Time won't save our souls
Time won't save our souls
Time won't save my soul, no
When everything is going down
nothing seems to feel the same
no one seems to know my name
no one seems to go my way
but who knows if I'll see you again?

I am, if you couldn't tell, on a BRMC kick right now. Of all their songs, I'd say Beat the Devil's Tattoo is my current favourite.
