Link And then came my birthday, and my lovely best friend made me a fantastic gift that I just cannot not share:
murron's OST -
TRIANGLES
(The Trembling Of The Migratory Birds OST)
XX - Chrystalised (Arthur & Ariadne)
You've applied the pressure
To have me crystalised
And you've got the faith
That I could bring paradise
I'll forgive and forget
Before I'm paralysed
Do I have to keep up the pace
To keep you satisfied
Faithless - Insomnia (Dreamshare Side Effects)
I used to worry, thought I was goin' mad in a hurry
Gettin' stress, makin' excess mess in darkness
No electricity, something's all over me, greasy
Insomnia please release me
Moby - I like it (UST)
I liked it
I liked it a lot
Step there, sooner than not
Right there, there on the ground
Did I say I liked it?
Yes you did
Ani DiFranco - Work Your Way Out (Ariadne & Eames)
I wonder what you look like
under your t-shirt
I wonder what you sound like
when you're not wearing words
I wonder what we have
when we're not pretending
it's never-ending, haven't you heard?
PJ Harvey - The Darker Days of Me & Him (Ariadne)
Promises, promises
I'm feeling burned
You taught me a lesson
I didn't want to learn
Alanis Morissette - Versions of Violence (Plans Go South)
These versions of violence
Sometimes subtle sometimes clear
And the ones that go unnoticed
Still leave their mark once disappeared
Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground (Escaping Finland)
I’m going deeper underground
There’s too much panic in this town
Cinematic Orchestra - Time and Space (Covalesence)
In joy and pain each one will grow
For wisdom is so much more than what we know
And every child will find their way
Of living the whole life story day by day
Dream
Little girl, dream
Dream
Little boy, dream
Dream
Missy Higgins - Nightminds (Eames & Arthur)
But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see
so we can both be there and we can both share the dark.
And in our honesty, together we will rise,
out of our nightminds, and into the light
at the end of the fight...
Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out (Arthur)
I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restart
Cause I like to keep my issues strong
It's always darkest before the dawn
Kate Bush - Nocturne (Saito’s Sanctuary)
Could be in a dream
Our clothes are on the beach
These prints of our feet
Lead right up to the sea
No one, no one is here
No one, no one is here
We stand in the Atlantic
We become panoramic
