You have looked with your eyes wide open to what's inside

Song: Warpaint - Lissie's Heart Murmur
Album: The Fool (2010)
Label: Rough Trade Records
More info:
The Fool este albumul lor de debut, lansat in octombrie 2010. Ascultati toate melodiile; este superb.

On the edge of the water where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter in the endless sky
tips my head back, full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing that sinks so far down
that sings so far down

and I handle my business and I know the prize
is of no consequence. You have looked with your eyes
wide open to what's inside, that sinks so far down

I'm in two

I went looking, went searching under the water
sinking and pushing, till you pulled me under
to where you are, to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can't go back now, can't go back now

on the edge of the water where the ships pass by
and the sound of your laughter in the endless sky
tips my head back, full of swimming thoughts
beneath deep breathing

now I stay holding this honesty with you

I went looking, went searching under the water
sinking and pushing, till you pulled me under
to where you are, to where we build our house
and so we sink so far down
and we can't go back now

sink so far down when I know you're around
and I can't go back now, can't go back now

I'd flee this town...I'd bury my dreams underground

Song: Beirut - Elephant Gun
Album: Elephant Gun EP (2007)
Label: 4AD Records


If I was young, I'd flee this town
I'd bury my dreams underground
As did I, we drink to die, we drink tonight
Far from home, elephant gun
Let's take them down one by one
We'll lay it down, it's not been found, it's not around
Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down
Let the seasons begin - it rolls right on
Let the seasons begin - take the big king down
And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the night
And it rips through the silence of our camp at night
And it rips through the silence, all that is left is all that i hide

Hope there's someone who'll set my heart free...nice to hold when I'm tired

Song: Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
Album: I Am a Bird Now (2005)
Label: Rough Trade Records

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

There's a ghost on the horizon
When I go to bed
How can I fall asleep at night
How will I rest my head

Oh I'm scared of the middle place
Between light and nowhere
I don't want to be the one
Left in there, left in there

There's a man on the horizon
Wish that I'd go to bed
If I fall to his feet tonight
Will allow rest my head

So here's hoping I will not drown
Or paralyze in light
And godsend I don't want to go
To the seal's watershed

Hope there's someone
Who'll take care of me
When I die, Will I go

Hope there's someone
Who'll set my heart free
Nice to hold when I'm tired

Run, run, run away

Song: Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Runaway
Album: It's Blitz! (2009)
Label: Interscope

I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Want you to stay
Want keep you inside

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

I was feeling sad
Can't help looking back
Highways flew by
Run, run, run away
No sense of time
Want you to stay
Want keep you inside

All along, not so strong without these open arms.
Hold on tight.
All along, not that strong without these open arms.
Lie beside.
All along, not so strong without these open arms.
Ride beside.

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Run, run, run away
Lost, lost, lost my mind
Want you to stay
Want you to be my prize

Careless and young, free as the birds that fly

Song: Ben Howard - Old Pine
Album: Old Pine E.P (2011)
Label: -


Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
I've come to know that memories
Were the best things you ever had
The summer shorn beat down on browned backs
So far from home where the ocean stood
Down dust and pine cone tracks

We slept like dogs down by the fire side
Awoke to the fog all around us
The boom of summer time

[Chorus]
We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning.

Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags,
I've come to know the friends around you
Are all you'll always have
Smoke in my lungs, or the echoed stone
Careless and young, free as the birds that fly
With weightless souls now.

[Chorus x2]
We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
We stood
Steady as the stars in the woods
So happy-hearted
And the warmth rang true inside these bones
As the old pine fell we sang
Just to bless the morning.

We grow, grow, steady as the morning
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, steady as the flowers
We grow, grow, older still
We grow, grow, happy as a new dawn
We grow, grow, older still

Or is it there?

I dunno,

Care, yah yah yah yah

Soul

I know it's not much
But whatever it is it's mine

Can you feel
the tangible chill?
Can you hold it to you?
Is it real?

I know it's not much
Whatever it is it's

Soul
Is what I've got

Whatever it is it's mine

Yah, yah yah yah yah

Everyone is king when there’s no one left to pawn

Song: Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat the Devil's Tattoo
Album: Beat the Devil's Tattoo (2010)
Label: Abstract Dragon


You have forsaken all the love you’ve taken
Sleeping on a razor, there’s nowhere left to fall
Your body’s aching, every bone is breaking
Nothing seems to shake it, it just keeps holding on
Ah ah ah ah...

Your soul is able, death is all you cradle
Sleeping on the nails, there’s nowhere left to fall
You have admired, every man desires
Everyone is king when there’s no one left to pawn
Ah ah ah ah...

There is no peace here, war is never cheap here
Love will never need it, it just gets sold for parts
You cannot fight it, all the world denies it
Open up your eyelids and let your demons run
Ah ah ah...

I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo
I thread the needle through, you beat the devil’s tattoo

Dream a little dream of me

Song: Chapel Club - Surfacing
Album: Palace (2011)
Label: Loog Records
More info:
Albumul lor de debut a fost lansat in 31 ianuarie 2011 si mi se pare una din cele mai promitatoare formatii noi de indie. Abia astept sa ii ascult live la Summer Well in august. Ascultati si All the Eastern Girls, O Maybe I, Five Trees, Paper Thin.

Strange the god of your name is Piscean too
Shells and silvery scales and torrents of blue
one more pilot fish come to swim with the shark
dreams of bloodiest extremes picks me from their mouth

Chorus
stars shining bright above you
night breezes seem to whisper "I love you"
bodies swinging in the sycamore tree
dream a little dream of me

cold your blood is your soul but blood is the lie
sold the hand that you hold before you arrive
you're perfect, you're worth it your friends said
I guess that it's true
you mean it
I've seen it
the poets got nothing on you

Chorus X 2

dream a little dream
dream a little dream
dream a little dream of me
dream a little dream
dream a little dream
dream a little dream of me
