another day [another silly post....]

[reenka]

Duuuude, I love Vienna Teng's Atheist Christmas Carol *_____* I know, I know, I'm a sap :D

...On that note, I actually made this with djinniyah's unwitting collaboration (though she says she doesn't mind):


    




01. Learning to Fly
    Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Well the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt, and the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing

02. There Goes the Fear
    Doves

Out of here
We're out of here
Out of heartache
Along with fear
There goes the fear again
There goes the fear

03. A House
    Doves

it was a day like this and my house burnt down
and the walls were thin and they crashed to the ground
it was a day like this and my life unwound

04. Cast No Shadow
    Oasis

Here's a thought for every man
Who tries to understand what is in his hands
He walks along the open road of Love & Life surviving if he can

Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
Chained to all the places that he never wished to stay
Bound with all the weight of all the words he tried to say
and as faced the sun he cast no shadow

05. How Soon Is Now?
    The Smiths

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

06. Prophecy
    Remy Zero

This is a coming of the times,
you are a witness to the movement.

If all you're seeing is lies,
you had your chance, but now you've blown it.

07. Castles Burning
    Annie Lennox

Cold wind ripping
down the alley at dawn
And the morning paper flies,
Dead man lying
by the side of the road
With the daylight in his eyes.

Don't let it bring you down
It's only castles burning,
Find someone who's turning
And you will come around.

08. Bury My Lovely
    October Project

Bury my lovely
Bury the lies
Bury me under
A thousand good-byes

A shadow from another time
Is waiting in the night
Something happened long ago
Something that will not let go

09. Princes of the Universe
    Queen

Here we are, born to be kings
We're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting to survive
In a world with the darkest powers, heh
And here we are, we're the princes of the universe
Here we belong, fighting for survival
We've come to be the rulers of you all

10. Die Another Day
    Madonna

I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now

I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll die another day
It's not my time to go

11. Dust In The Wind
    Kansas

I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone
All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosity
Dust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind.
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see

12. Learning to Fly
    Pink Floyd

A soul in tension that's learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted just an earth-bound misfit, i

13. Who Wants to Live Forever
    Queen

There's no chance for us
It's all decided for us
This world has only one sweet moment set aside for us

Who wants to live forever
Who wants to live forever?

14. Heroes
    David Bowie

Though nothing,
nothing will keep us together
We can beat them, for ever and ever
Oh we can be Heroes,
just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can be Heroes, just for one day
We can be us, just for one day

15. Clocks
    Coldplay

Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks (gonna)
Come back and take you home, I could not stop, that you now know (singing)
Come out upon my seas, curse missed opportunities (am I)
A part of the cure, or am I part of the disease (singing)

16. Session
   Linkin Park

Great collection! Learning to Fly and Bury My Lovely are two of my favorite songs - and perfect post-HBP lyrics, too.

Here are a few others you might like: Neko Case's Furnace Room Lullaby (http://www.alwaysontherun.net/neko.htm#f12) and Blacklisted (http://www.alwaysontherun.net/neko.htm#b10). Also, Mazzy Star's Bells Ring (http://www.alwaysontherun.net/mazzy.htm#ab) and The Decemberists When The War Came (http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/decemberists/whenthewarcame.html) ()

Thanks! I'll check 'em out-- I do really like Mazzy Star :D

[frayach-nicuill.livejournal.com]

Me too! Fade Into You is in my top 50 list of favorite songs. Actually, I was listening to Tonight That I Might See this morning and was moved to post (http://frayach.livejournal.com/14066.html) about it. Then I saw your post and it was Karma. LOL

Btw, do have her second album Among My Swan? I'm curious if it's as good as Tonight.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

I've actually only heard the whole album with 'Fade Into You' once or twice-- generally I mix-and-match mp3s and don't listed to whole CDs, though lately I've been downloading some 'cause I got broadband ^^;

I'm definitely in songfic mode now... 'Fade Into You' is making me want to write H/D (...it doesn't take much, I guess).

[frayach-nicuill.livejournal.com]

Do it! The line Strange you never knew just screams H/D.

I'm so stupid about the whole MP3 thing. I'm 36 and was therefore right on the cusp of all things computer/internet, so I'm at least three steps behind when it comes to new stuff. But considering my complete and utter 24/7 obsession with music, it seems like the perfect fit. Just have to bit the bullet and figure it all out. And once I do, I'll kick myself for not having done it sooner, I'm sure.

[yourpoison.livejournal.com]

Haha there isn't really anything to figure out-- Windows comes with an mp3 player, so you just click & it plays :> As for getting them, that might be a little more complicated, I guess... but just surfing lj & my flist, I would've gotten a sizeable collection by downloading stuff on people's posts by now :D

I can pretty much imagine H/D to any halfway angsty love-song. I remember when I used to write other pairings... heh... back when my inspiration could stretch that far -.-
