You don't know me by Patricia Barber of her NightClub album

I believe its originally by Ray Charles

 

She's got a beautiful voice... I wish I could sing like that!

 

You give your hand to me

And then you say, "Hello."

And I can hardly speak,

My heart is beating so.

And anyone can tell

You think you know me well.

Well, you don't know me.

(no you don't know me)

No you don't know the one

Who dreams of you at night;

And longs to kiss your lips

And longs to hold you tight

Oh I'm just a friend.

That's all I've ever been.

Cause you don't know me.

(no you don't know me)

For I never knew the art of making love,

Though my heart aches with love for you.

Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.

A chance that you might love me too.

(love me too)

You give your hand to me,

And then you say, "Goodbye."

I watched you walk away,

Beside the lucky guy

Oh, you'll never ever know

The one who loved you so.

Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars

 

 

We'll do it all

Everything

On our own

 

We don't need

Anything

Or anyone

 

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

 

I don't quite know

How to say

How I feel

 

Those three words

Are said too much

They're not enough

 

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

 

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

 

Let's waste time

Chasing cars

Around our heads

 

I need your grace

To remind me

To find my own

 

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

 

Forget what we're told

Before we get too old

Show me a garden that's bursting into life

 

All that I am

All that I ever was

Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see

 

I don't know where

Confused about how as well

Just know that these things will never change for us at all

 

If I lay here

If I just lay here

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Dire Straits & Mark Knopfler - Brothers in arms

 

These mist covered mountains

Are a home now for me

But my home is the lowlands

And always will be

Some day youll return to

Your valleys and your farms

And youll no longer burn

To be brothers in arms

 

Through these fields of destruction

Baptisms of fire

Ive watched all your suffering

As the battles raged higher

And though they did hurt me so bad

In the fear and alarm

You did not desert me

My brothers in arms

 

Theres so many different worlds

So many differents suns

And we have just one world

But we live in different ones

 

Now the suns gone to hell

And the moons riding high

Let me bid you farewell

Every man has to die

But its written in the starlight

And every line on your palm

Were fools to make war

On our brothers in arms

all the cool kids take up like a page with their lyrics, so...

 

Andre 3000 - A life in the day of Benjamin Andre

 

...I met you in a club in Atlanta Georgia

Said me and my homeboy were coming out with an album

You looked at me like yeah nigga right

But you gave me you number anyway you were on the talcum

Powder, how's about them oranges

Moved away from home to school with big plans

By day, studied the history of music

By night, just to pay for that shit, you'd dance

To get your pants was a mission impossible

We were both the same age but I

Suppose wasn't on the same page but in

The same book of life so I'd paged you when

I felt you that were getting off of work

Or either when you're on your way to school

We starting hanging like Ernie and Bert

And in my idle head I'm thinking cool

Just when I think I'm going down your shirt

You're hiking up your skirt now

The events that followed had me volley if your hometown would be

Heaven or hell

The angelic nastiness you possessed made you by far the best

Therefore hard to tell

You'd dropped me off by the dungeon

Never came in, but I knew that you were wondering

Now are these niggaz in this house up to something

Selling crack sack by sacks so they could function?

Well, yes and no

Yes we were selling it

But no it wasn't blow

Cook it in the basement then move it at a show

Then grab the microphone and everybody yelled “ho�

Meanwhile the video starts playing

BET college radio and a van

Packed full of niggaz with a blunt in their hand

And one in their ear

You know what I'm saying

But, I kept your number in my old phone

Got a new chip flip with the roam roam

So it took me a minute to retrieve seven digits

But I promised I would call you when I got home

But, when I got home I never did

By the time I did, heard that you had a kid

By some nigga in Decatur

Who replied see you later when he got the good news, that's life shit

Now, I'm nineteen with a Cadillac

My nigga had a Lex with the gold pack

Got a plaque but I'm living with my pop pop

So I got glock and a low jack

You kinda fast for that fella in class who used to draw

And never said much ‘cause half of what he saw

Was so far from that place you wanna be

That words only fucked it up more follow me

Are you starting to gather what I'm getting at?

Now if I'm losing you tell me then I'll double back

But keep in mind, at the time “keep it real� was the phrase

Silly once said now, but those were the days

When spring break

And Daytona

And Freakniks

Made you wanna

Drop out of college and never go back

Move to the south but that ain't a Kodak

Moment, on went myself and big boi

Well you knew him as Twan

That's right you were around before this shit begun

When Twan had a daughter and

Sort of was made to mature before the first tour

We hit the road like jack

Laughed and cried and drived it back with some Yak

Girls used to say, y'all talk funny, y'all from the islands?

And I'd Laughed and they just keep smiling

No, I'm from Atlanta baby

He from Savannah, maybe

We should hook up and get tore up and then lay down hey we

Got to go because the bus is pulling out in 30 minutes

She's playing tennis disturbing the tenants

15-love

Fit like glove

Description is like

15 doves

In a Jacuzzi catching the Holy Ghost

Making one woozy in the head and comatose, agree?

Enough about me

How's about you?

How's the lil' kid?

She was about 2 the last time we spoke

I hadn't smoked or took a shot of drink

Cause I'd start the 2nd album off on another note

Now, that note threw some niggaz in the hood off

But see I'd balled out, and before I fall out

I'd Slow my Lac down to a nice speed

The brain is that fried egg I might need

New direction was apparent

I was a child looking at the floor staring

So changing my style was like release for the primitive beast

Yes I was on the rise, yeast was the street

To make bread-Never primary concern

Just to hop on these beats and wait my turn

I'd meet muslims, ganstas, bitches, rastas, and macoroni niggaz - imposters

So on a trip to New York on some beeswax

I get invited to a club where emcees at

And on stage is a singer with some thing on her head

Similar to the turban that I covered up my dredz with

Which I was rocking at the time

When I was going through them phases trying to find

Anything that seemed real in the world

Still searching, but I started liking this girl

Now you know her

As Erykah on and on Badu

Call Tyrone on the phone why you

Do that girl like that boy you ought to be ashamed

The song wasn't about me and that ain't my name

We're young, in love, in short we had fun

No regrets no abortion, had a son

By the name of Seven

And he's five

By the time I do this mix, he'll probably be six

You do the arithmetic

Me do the language arts

Y'all stand against the wall blindfolded me throw the darts

To poke you in the heart

And take you from the start

To one luxury transportation and a Marta card

Or either when your girlfriend that went to Mays

Momma or her daddy let her borrow the Benz because she's smart

Or maybe if your neighbor does you a huge favor

And he sells you that rabbit that's been sitting in his yard

You fix it up.. you trick it out.. you give it rims.. you give it bump

You give it all your time because that's all you can think about

..And that's as far as I got...

 

see, fuck that radio shit; i like it when a rapper just flows on and on and says fuck the chorus, like say Thought from the Roots on "Web", or like half of Wu's shit, i love that.

...smooth.

on that note, i cant shake christopher cross & loggin's "Ride like the wind" from my head, its like when easy listening stuck me with benny mardones' "into the night" for like 2 months.

 

"Such a long way to gooooo..." damn you Loggins, for being so smooth.

Sigur Rós - Gong

 

Brosandi

Hendumst í hringi

Höldumst í hendur

Allur heimurinn óskýr

Nema þú stendur

 

Rennblautur

Allur rennvotur

Engin gúmmístígvél

Hlaupandi inn í okkur

Vill springa út úr skel

 

Vindurinn

Og útilykt af hárinu þínu

Eg lamdi eins fast og ég get

Með nefinu mínu

 

Hoppípolla

I engum stígvélum

Allur rennvotur (rennblautur)

I engum stígvélum

 

Og ég fæ blóðnasir

En ég stend alltaf upp

 

Og ég fæ blóðnasir

Og ég stend alltaf upp

Black Balloon

 

 

 

Baby's black balloon makes her fly

I almost fell into that hole in your life

And you're not thinking 'bout tomorrow

Cuz you were the same as me

But on your knees

 

A thousand other boys could never reach you

How could I have been the one?

I saw the world spin beneath you

And scatter like ice from the spoon that was your womb

 

Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Or are you someone's prayer?

 

You know the lies they always told you

And the love you never knew

What's the things they never showed you

That swallow the light from the sun inside your room, yeah

 

Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

Always someone there

 

And there's no time left for losin'

When you stand they fall, yeah

 

Comin' down the world turned over

And angels fall without you there

And I go on as you get colder

All because I'm

Comin' down the years turn over

And angels fall without you there

And I'll go on and I'll bring you home and

All because I'm

All because I'm

And I'll become

What you became to me

"Duvet" by Bôa

Opening song for the anime Serial Experiments Lain

 

And you don't seem to understand

A shame you seemed an honest man

And all the fears you hold so dear

Will turn to whisper in your ear

And you know what they say might hurt you

And you know that it means so much

And you don't even feel a thing

 

I am falling, I am fading,

I have lost it all

 

And you don't seem the lying kind

A shame that I can read your mind

And all the things that I read there

Candle-lit smile that we both share

And you know I don't mean to hurt you

But you know that it means so much

And you don't even feel a thing

 

I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning,

Help me to breathe

I am hurting, I have lost it all

I am losing

Help me to breathe

Hey you by PInk Floyed

 

I love 'em.

 

Hey you, out there in the cold

Getting lonely, getting old

Can you feel me?

Hey you, standing in the aisles

With itchy feet and fading smiles

Can you feel me?

Hey you, dont help them to bury the light

Dont give in without a fight.

 

Hey you, out there on your own

Sitting naked by the phone

Would you touch me?

Hey you, with you ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out

Would you touch me?

Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?

Open your heart, Im coming home.

 

But it was only fantasy.

The wall was too high,

As you can see.

No matter how he tried,

He could not break free.

And the worms ate into his brain.

 

Hey you, standing in the road

Always doing what youre told,

Can you help me?

Hey you, out there beyond the wall,

Breaking bottles in the hall,

Can you help me?

Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all

Together we stand, divided we fall.

 

Well, only got an hour of daylight left. better get started

Isnt it unsafe to travel at night?

Itll be a lot less safe to stay here. youre fathers gunna pick up our trail before long

Can loca ride?

Yeah, I can ride... magaret, time to go! maigret, thank you for everything

Goodbye chenga

Goodbye miss ...

Ill be back

that's an awesome song, i cant say if i like the normal version, slow/acoustic, or even the techno mix better, tho i listen to the acoustic more these days.

This, with some tracks by Berserk, and the Cowboy Bebop/Escaflowne/Samurai Champloo OST's are on my mp3 player.

Deftones - Change in the house of flies

 

 

I've watched you change

Into a fly

I looked away

You were on fire

I watched a change

In you

It's like you never

Had wings

Now you feel

So Alive

I've watched you change

I took you home

Set you on the glass

I pulled off your wings

Then I laughed

I watched a change

In you

It's like you never

Had wings

Now you feel

So alive

I've watched you change

It's like you never

Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh

I look at the cross

Then I look away

Give you the gun

Blow me away

I've watched a change

In you

It's like you never

Had wings

Now you feel

So Alive

I've watched you change.

Now you feel Alive

You Feel Alive

I've watched you change

It's like you never

Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
