Monthly Mix :: March 2011 :: The Sky is For the Stars
March
This city is for strangers
Like the sky is for the stars
GRAY OR BLUE - JAYMAY
You haven't written to me in a week
I'm wondering why that is
Are you too nervous to be lovers
Friendship's ruined with just one kiss?
I watched you very closely, I saw you look away
Your eyes are either gray or blue
I'm never close enough to say
Don't second-guess your feelings
You were right from the start
And I notice she's your lover
But she's nowhere near your heart
This city is for strangers
Like the sky is for the stars
But I think it's very dangerous
If we do not take what's ours
ALL THE LIFE AROUND - CHARLENE KAYE
So then April showed her face with bushes bearing sugar, musk and honey
New buds on the branches made me realize that loss is necessary
For new life, new joy, new memories to be made
So we threw up our hands and soaked up all the life around
BLUE LIPS - REGINA SPEKTOR
He stumbled into faith and thought,
"God, this is all there is?"
The pictures in his mind arose,
And began to breathe.
And all the gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a
Backdrop of
Blue
Blue lips
Blue veins
HOLOGRAM - KATIE HERZIG
I’m in a love affair without a love song
I’m in the habit of having what I don’t want
I’m just a hologram
You can see but don’t touch me baby
Oh I bet you want me now
FIXED - STARS
For its statistics
In the collected whole
We are the hunger
That keeps you climing walls
It's the one thing you can count on
We all end floating away
WITHOUT MYTHOLOGIES - THE WEAKERTHANS
Someplace far away,
At some sad table littered with chipped plates,
With bad light, in 48 frames from a movie on the cutting room floor,
Uou said "True meaning would be dying with you",
And though I wanted to, I did not smile.
But now I will give up on this wall that I have fought with,
Never uncover meaning behind our rich words.
If I could I would make you a raging river,
With angry rapids, supplied with rain,
So you could always meander
And forever be able to run away
HERE TO STAY - LENKA
I don't know anymore
I don't know what I've been fighting for
But something inside me won't go quietly
And I could be anywhere
'Cause we're all breathing the same air
It goes inside and makes me feels alive
THE CRUEL ONE - GOLD MOTEL
I don't want to waste my time standing in a waiting line
When I know what I want, and you're just what I want
I don't want to waste my days, worrying what they'll say
Now I know what I want, you're just what I want
EVERYTHING'S OKAY - LENKA
Sometimes I need a little sunshine
And sometimes I need you
Keep giving me hope for a better day
Keep giving love to find a way
Through this messy life I made for myself
Heaven knows I need a little
CANDLE ON THE WATER - KRISTIN CHENOWETH (PUSHING DAISIES)
I'll be your candle on the water
My love for you will always burn
I know you're lost and drifting
But the clouds are lifting
Don't give up you'll have somewhere to turn
KILOJOULES - FREELANCE WHALES
Well I'm afraid I'm not qualified
To do any of these things for you
Well I'm afraid I'm not gonna
Give you back any of those kilojoules
The late nights and weekends
Our hearts only run slowly
On the local track
So I've arranged for your
phobias to be performed by a string quartet
MAKE 'EM LAUGH - DARREN CRISS
My dad said
"Be an actor, my son
But be a comical one
They'll be standing in lines
For those old honky tonk monkeyshines"
Now you could study Shakespeare and be quite elite
And you can charm the critics and have nothin' to eat
Just slip on a banana peel, the world's at your feet
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
Make 'em laugh
MONTH OF SUNDAYS - PASSENGER
Well I've been living in this month of Sundays
For so long, I don't remember Thursday night
Broken records don't play new tunes
Except for once in a blue moon
And I've looked, but the moon is still white
Oh, black kettles and black pots
Seem to fight an awful lot
Which makes the kitchen the most uncomfortable of rooms
And two words don't mean a lot
And for me that's all you've got
But I swear to you darling, one day
We'll stand beneath a blue moon
PARKS & RECREATION THEME - GABY MORENO
[Instrumental]
PULLING ON A LINE - GREAT LAKE SWIMMERS
The line it inks across the freshly fallen snow
Where only those embracing coldness would go
It whistles and it whispers, and sometimes it howls
It sings to me sweetly from trees and in vowels
YOU COULD BE HAPPY - SNOW PATROL
Most of what I remember makes me sure
I should have stopped you from walking out the door
You could be happy, I hope you are
You made me happier than I'd been by far
THE CITIZENS - AVALANCHE CITY
I could see the rain clouds over
The grey chased away the colors
Its hailing and storming all on the citizens
Leaving them running for their umbrellas
Hold on, hold on
She said to me,
It won't be long, won't be long
'Til we all will see
The colors will return to their owners
And citizens emerge from the covers
THE STREETS - AVALANCHE CITY
Even with the lights gone out I know
The rhythm that our hearts pound out rolls on
Its bounding through the streets scattering the cold
The marching band, rolls on
VOICE IN MY THROAT - PEARL AND THE BEARD
I walked down the road and I'm alone again
Well, I will sing the song as I go
I walked down the road and I'm alone again
But you will be the voice in my throat
You will be the voice in my throat
The only voice I know
