↘ morning sun - robbie williams

how do you rate the morning sun
after a long and sleepless night
how many stars would you give to the moon?
can you see those stars from where you are?
shine on the lost and lonely
the ones who cant get over it

you always wanted more than life
but now you don't have the appetite
in a message to the troubadour
the world don't love you anymore
tell me how do you rate the morning sun?

Home - Marc Broussard

♫Hmmmmm...
Rollin' down the road
Goin' nowhere
Guitar packed in the trunk
Somewhere 'round mile marker 112
Papa started hummin' da funk
I got a jones in my bones
Before we know, we be singing this melody
Stopped the car, pulled out the guitar
Halfway to New Orleans

Said take me home
Take me home♫

[biverbam]

So, I have a soundtrack for River over here. Which I think is still uploaded!

+ Green Island Serenade - Vienna Teng (there are political implications that get lost in translation but yes, I think I still have the essay about it somewhere)

+ Please Sister - The Cardigans (thank you sarah I WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUND THIS OTHERWISE)

+ TONS OF OTHER STUFF my playlist is too long.

I've thought for a long time that Tori Amos's Carbon was a River song.

A gunner's view, black and blue -
Shred in ribbons of lithium
Blow by blow
Her mind cut in sheets
Layers deep now unravelling
Just keep your eyes on her...

I've actually made a River fanmix before because I love her, so I'm debating which songs from it to choose, because there's a lot! Argh, decisions! Ok, here we go:

Telepathy - Emiliana Torrini

♫Think of me very scientifically
Share your thoughts with me
Send them over land and see

They seep through walls
Echo down abandoned halls
Let me see your joy and fear♫

Not Like the Other Girls - The Rasmus

♫She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
She talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know♫

I'm the Girl - Heather Nova♫I've got a memory a thousand years old

[numbersnfigures]

I made a fanmix for Spencer here.

Standouts for me include The Scientist by Coldplay (where his username comes from), Nature Boy by David Bowie (ok it's not originally by him, but I like his version), and Rise by Eddie Vedder.

Paul Smecker-
* Janis Ian - God and the FBI, doesn't start until 1:27. But how many songs feature the line 'J. Edgar Hoover in a pink tutu' ? [Do not like this vid, couldn't find a better one, sigh]
* Joan Osborne - Crazy Baby - And they look at you like they don’t speak your language/And you’re living at the bottom of a well/And you’ve swallowed all the awful bloody secrets/You can’t tell
* RJD2 - True Confessions Mostly instrumental, but Bless me father, for I have sinned
* Martina Topley-Bird - Days of A Gun You are the sword I'm falling on
* Antony & the Johnsons - Knockin' on Heaven's Door Wonderful, wonderful cover
* Devics - If We Cannot See You were born with a heart that can never be filled/And a head like snow that can never be still/There are streets paved with gold that shine so bright/But you force yourself to look away

......Iiiiii may not have any for Long. Augh! Must fix this.

Wig In A Box / Wicked Little Town medley from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. As performed by Alan Cumming. For Paul, obvs.

/goes to hell

[smecker]

Hahahah, yes, how could I forget some good ol' midnight radio.

For that matter, The Kinks' L-O-L-A should be on here.

[sexisintheheel]

Mmm, the Kinks. I actually sang that at karaoke a couple weeks back. Good times.

And now I'm just busting out accounts to troll with :D

Amy Hit the Atmosphere - Counting Crows

♫Amy hit the atmosphere
Caught herself a rocket ride out of this gutter and
She's never coming back, I fear
But any time it rains,
She just feels a lot better
And that's all that really matters to me♫

[justaddmarbles]

Lindsey Wells -Franz Ferdinand

Great western wind catches in your Celtic hair
Flicks it 'round your face like flames around the sun
In the bright cold air you seem as innocent and fair
As Rita Tushingham in 1961

Well, Lindsey Wells
How I wish that I could feel so good
I wish that I could be as good as you
Well, Lindsey Wells
How I wish that I could feel the good
Beyond the poison in us like you do, like you do

[iminmynightie]

Ooo, very nice, thank you!
