Shirley McAllister playlist
Howl - Florence + The Machine
Now there's no holding back, I'm making to attack
My blood is singing with your voice, I want to pour it out
The saints can't help me now, the ropes have been unbound
I hunt for you with bloodied feet across the hollow ground
Pretty Down to Your Bones - The Hush Sound
You are pretty down to your bones
You are ivory and wire and pearls
I will kiss and kiss and kiss your skin
Beg for you to let me in
But oh, sometimes it hurts
You pluck my nerves
Vertigo - Sarah Slean
And I am full of love and consequence
Merciful, the sky of coal
The beauty of the cars' electric lights,
The speed with which their destinies glow
Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up) - Florence + The Machine
Here I am, a rabbit hearted girl
Frozen in the headlights
It seems I've made the final sacrifice
Feel It In My Bones - Tiesto
I feel you in my bones
You're knocking at my windows
You're slow to lettin' me go
And I know this feeling oh, so
This feeling in my bones
O Death - Jen Titus
No wealth, no ruin, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Rolling In On a Burning Tire - The Dead Weather
One is born so one can die
You must wait for a really long time
That’s more you can bear
And the days will come and ago
And the band will march alone
Till the day you cast a shadow
That looks nothing like your own
Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation
I won’t soothe your pain
I won’t ease your strain
You’ll be waiting in vain
I got nothing for you to gain
Crying In My Beer - Me'Shell NdegeOcello
Sometimes I flow too far from the shore
Sometimes I forget who we are
Brought up to grovel and suffer, complain and regret
Pour whiskey, a lush train to mother,
For my heart's unrest.
Don't let me die alone.
Bodily - Ani DiFranco
I am trying to take an appreciative approach
to life in your wake.
I focus on the quiet now,
and occasionally I'll fall asleep somehow.
And emptiness has its solace
in that there's nothing left to take.
Molasses - The Hush Sound
You are made of sugar, milk and molasses
So, little darlin', you attract all the bees
You are the gazer, you are the attraction
It takes a little vanity to know what it means
Breathe Me - Sia
Help, I have done it again
I have been here many times before
Hurt myself again today
And, the worst part is there's no-one else to blame
Davey Crockett - Silent Drive
And believe me when I've tried to replace everything I lose
With bright smiles, and eyes and hands like these are not that easy to confuse
In Fear and Faith - Circa Survive
Can we last through the winter?
The water's starting to freeze.
The only one who remembers
Taking the wrong step, falling in front of me.
This body's already aging.
These nights are all ready long.
And if I last through the winter,
I swear to you now, I won't call.
Knife Going In - Tegan and Sara
I feel the knife going in,
I'm feeling anxious.
Not enough to kill me,
I thought it'd happen fast.
But I'm feeling it now and I feel anxious.
Sleeping inches from me,
I let it pass
