Music Mix - Orphan Girl
A music mix dedicated to Rachel Nieland.
I am an orphan on God's highway
But I'll share my troubles if you go my way
I have no mother, no father
no sister, no brother.
Orphan Girl: A Rachel Nieland Mix
1) Thea Gilmore - Bad Moon Rising
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
2) Gillian Welch - Orphan Girl
I have had friendships pure and golden
The ties of kinship have not known them
I know no mother, no father
No sister, no brother
I am an orphan girl
3) Yo-Yo Ma - Simple Gifts (feat. Alison Krauss)
'Tis the gift to be simple
'tis the gift to be free
'tis the gift to come down
where you ought to be
And when we find ourselves
in the place just right
'twill be in the valley
of love and delight.
4) Cat Power - Crossbones Style
Oh how time flies
With crystal clear eyes
And cold as cold
When you're ending with diamond eyes
Oh come child
In a cross bones style
Oh come child
Come and rescue me
Cause you have seen some unbeilevable things
5) Abigail Washburn - Eve Stole the Apple
Old folks told me you’re not coming home.
Old folks told me gotta move along.
Like a ripe ol' fruit on a borrowed vine
I hang around, oh, lord, I hang around.
Eve stole the apple from the tree good lord
I know she could be me, I know she could be me
Big brother told me I got something wrong.
Big brother told me sing a different song.
Like a tolling bell in its final hour
I'll make a sound, oh, lord, I'll make one sound.
6) Jakob Dylan - Everybody Pays As They Go
Now pull yourself together, put your chin up off your throat
Now whistle for the dogs and get your sled into the snow
Nothing's ever buried under skull and bones
Everybody pays as they go
Ooh, ooh
The playing field is level but it's ugly down below
It's a devil of a handbook, hi, ho, hi, ho
Now either you're the butcher or the lamb but even so
Everybody pays as they go
7) Garbage - The Trick Is To Keep Breathing
She's not the kind of girl
Who likes to tell the world
About the way she feels about herself
She takes a little time in making up her mind
She doesn't want to fight against the tide
And lately I'm not the only one
I say never trust anyone
Always the one who has to drag her down
Maybe you'll get what you want this time around
8) Pixies - I Bleed
as loud as hell
a ringing bell
behind my smile
it shakes my teeth
and all the while
as vampires feed
i bleed
9) Joseph Arthur - I Am
Your world is in danger
But your world isn't real
You see what is imagined
Dreaming what you feel
To find out what you really are
You must wake up from this long night
Repeat the words I Am
10) Iron & Wine - Freedom Hangs Like Heaven
Mary, carry your shame
Well past all those eyes across the avenue
Fish heads running from rain
You know i'll do anything you want me to
Lamp oil lovers may say
"freedom hangs like heaven over everyone"
Ain't nobody knows what the newborn holds
But his papa's going to hide shaking gristle
And shaking like bone
11) Temposhark - Not That Big (with Imogen Heap)
I don't ask, for everything we've done has passed
Who cares if we will meet again?
It's obvious that we're not friends
I daren't speak of what I'm wishing uselessly
My stupid vision clears to see a sugar mountain melt in me
'Cause you're not big in my life
Not big in my life
Not big in my life at all
And I'm not big in your life
Not big in your life
Not big in your life at all
12) Evan Rachel Wood - Blackbird
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
13) Liz Phair - Ride
As I stumble into bed, I curse the devil in my head
And if I die before I wake, I hope the lord won't hesitate
To pluck my coffin from the ground
He need not heed the neighbors now
And throw me up for all to see,
The flies of August swarming me
I get a ride
Right by your side
Under your skin
I'm digging in
Well I don't know, but I've been told
The road to heaven is paved with gold
And if I die before I wake
I need a ride
14) Kim Richey - A Place Called Home
I had a chance to settle down
Get a job and live in town
Work in some old factory
I never liked the foreman standing over me
Over me
Oh I’d rather walk a winding road
Rather know the things I know
See the world with my own eyes
No regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes
No goodbyes
15) Joan Baez - Jericho Road
I was walkin`
Walkin` down the Jericho road
And every mile that I traveled showed
And I`m walkin` down the Jericho road
I just kept on walkin`
Walkin` down the Jericho road
And the sun set red over fields of gold
And I`m walkin` down the Jericho road
Well Joshua fit the battle, that`s how the story goes
And the walls come a-tumb-a-lin` down I know
But I`m still walkin`
Walkin` down the Jericho road
