Moon Child by M83


They say I made the moon

Everything was in the dark
No memories at all
Just a tiny freezing wind in my back
As I was sitting there
Singing a song they had never heard before
Suddenly, a voice told me
"Keep on singing, little boy
And raise your arms in the big black sky
Raise your arms the highest you can
So the whole universe will glow"

My first vision was a bush growing down the river
And I couldn't stop crying
Something was missing
I realized I was in love with a voice
I called it, again, and again
But all I heard was the echo in the light

Wishes and Stars by Harper Simon

Everyone seems so certain

Everyone knows who they are
Everyone’s got a mother and a father
They all seem so sure they’re going far
They all got more friends than they can use
Except me ‘cause I’m a foolI’
m as simple as a bee
As a melody in C
But it don’t matter
There are more wishes than stars
Every guestSo pleased with themselves
They’re brimming with success
Their whole life’s been blessed
But it don’t matter
Everyone’s been on a holiday in the sun
Or they just got back from one
All they do is just have fun
They all got more friends than they can use
I’m not too certain about many things
I’m not too sure who I am
I ain't got no mother and I ain't got no father
I ain't got no girlfriend to hold my hand
I’m slow like the trees when they grow
I’m sluggish like the ocean when it moves
I’m plain like water or like rain
But I shouldn’t complain cause it don’t matter
There are more wishes than stars
More wishes than stars

Little Deschutes by Laura Veirs

It sure is hard to dance across
The room when you've got
One foot on the floor
And one foot outside the door

I want nothing more
Than to dance with you

The peace I've known, floating along
The deep green river with you and a song
Is something like the peace I hope
To make with you my whole life long

I want nothing more
Than to float with you

Paddling through the hail storm
Clothes ravaged, the leaves all torn
A part of me was born

Why care about yesterday's haze
When the stars above are all ablaze
Why care about the coming dawn
When the moon pours now searchlight strong

I want nothing more
Than to dance with you
I want nothing more
Than to float with you

Je ne sais pas by Joyce Jonathan



Il y a des mots qui me gènent, des centaines de mots, des milliers de rengaines qui sont jamais les mêmes
Comment te dire, je veux pas te mentir, tu m'attires et c'est là que se trouve le vrai fond du problème
Ton orgueil, tes caprices, tes baisers, des délices; tes désirs, des supplices; je vois vraiment pas où ça nous mène
Alors, on se raisonne
C'est pas la fin de notre monde
Et à tort on se questionne
Encore une dernière fois
Je ne sais pas comment te dire
J'aurais peur de tout foutre en l'air, de tout détruire
Un tas d'idées à mettre au clair depuis longtemps
Mais j'ai toujours laissé derrière mes sentiments
Parfois je me dis que j'ai tort de rester si passive, mais toi tu me regardes, moi je te dévore
Et c'est parfois trop dur de discerner l'amour
Mon ami, mon amant, mon amour et bien plus encore
Alors, on se raisonne
C'est pas la fin de notre monde
Et à tort on se questionne
Encore une dernière fois
Je ne sais pas comment te dire
J'aurais peur de tout foutre en l'air, de tout détruire
Un tas d'idées à mettre au clair depuis longtemps
Mais j'ai toujours laissé derrière mes sentiments
Je te veux toi avec défauts et tes problèmes de fabrication
Je te veux toi, je veux pas un faux, pas de contrefaçon
Je veux pas te rendre pour prendre un autre
Je veux pas te vendre pour une ou deux fautes
Je veux tes mots, je veux ta peau, c'est jamais trop
Je te veux plus, changé d'avis; j'ai vu un autre un peu plus joli
Je ne veux pas, je ne veux plus, jamais voulu
Et puis t'es qui ? Je te connais pas, t'as dû rêvé, ce n'était pas moi
Mes confusions, tu les connais, laissons tomber
Comment te dire, j'aurais peur de tout foutre en l'air, de tout détruire
Un tas d'idées à mettre au clair depuis longtemps
Mais j'ai toujours laissé derrière mes sentiments
Je ne sais pas comment te dire
J'aurais peur de tout foutre en l'air, de tout détruire
Un tas d'idées à mettre au clair depuis longtemps
Mais j'ai toujours laissé derrière mes sentiments
I don't know
There are some words which embarass me, hundreds of words, thousands of same old things that are never the same
How could I tell you, I don't wanna lie to you, you attract me, and this is where lies the true heart of the problem
Your pride, your whims, your kisses, your pleasures, your desires, torments, I really don't see where this is getting us
So we pull ourselves together, it's not the end of our world
And we wrongly question ourselves again one last time
I don't know how to tell you, I'm afraid to screw up everything, to ruin everything
A lot of ideas to clarify from way back
But I've always been leaving my feelings behind
I sometimes think that I'm wrong staying so passive, but you look at me, I devour you
And it's sometimes too hard to distinguish love
My friend, my lover, my love and even more
So we pull ourselves together, it's not the end of our world
And we wrongly question ourselves again one last time
I don't know how to tell you, I'm afraid to screw up everything, to ruin everything
A lot of ideas to clarify from way back
But I've always been leaving my feelings behind
I want just you with flaws and your manufacturing problems
I want just you, I don't want a fake, no forgery
I don't want to return you to get another
I don't want to sell you up for one or two mistakes
I want your words, I want your skin, it's never too much
I don't want you anymore, I changed my mind. I've seen another one a bit better-looking
I don't want, don't want anymore, never wanted
And who are you, I don't know you, you must've been dreaming, it wasn't me
My confusions, you know them, let's give up
How to tell you, I'm afraid to screw up everything, to ruin everything
A lot of ideas to clarify from way back
But I've always been leaving my feelings behind
I don't know how to tell you, I'm afraid to screw up everything, to ruin everything
A lot of ideas to clarify from way back
But I've always been leaving my feelings behind

The A-Team by Ed Sheeran

White lips, pale face
Breathing in snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, day's end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men


And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries


And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
And she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly


Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim and stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
[ Lyrics from
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries


And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
Cos we're just under the upperhand
And go mad for a couple of grams
But she don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the Motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eye
And hoping for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line


And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upperhand
Go mad for a couple of grams
And we don't want to go outside tonight
And in a pipe we fly to the Motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
To fly, fly
Angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die.

New York City by Among Savages


New York City
Where all your girls are pretty
All your men are running from somewhere
Making a name for themselves

Are you running from something
Or did you come from nothing
Are you testing the Lord
With the cards that you've been dealt

Where do you find peace
In the middle of the city
Hard enough to find a friend
When everyone's starting over again

I feel like a child
In a world that seems shapeless
When I am most afraid
Is when I get sucked back in

Yeah, you came here with nothing
And your leaving with the same
Sometimes the road that you were walking on
Is going the wrong way

Just come as you are
When you leave you will be changed
Everyday is a gift, everyday is a gift
And it's all slipping away

Now if you leave
Will you feel defeated
Cause you didn't take from the city
As much as the city took from you

What if you'd stayed
What if you'd done what you were thinking
I'd rather you give up on life in the city
Than giving up on life too
It must be hard to live
In the midst of all those buildings
Where the changing of the wind
Don't seem a miracle at all

And by the hands of man
It's a maze of bad habits
Where the rabbit in the hat
Is just a train in the fog

Yeah, you came here with nothing
And your leaving with the same
Sometimes the road that you were walking on
Is going the wrong way

Just come as you are
When you leave you will be changed
Everyday is a gift, everyday is a gift
And it's all slipping away

Follow your dreams
But beware of the illusions
You won't feel the void in your heart
With a bank statement and a car

What is it worth, what is it worth
Have you given up on freedom
You spent your life earning the keys to set you free
When you were free all along

New York City
Where all your girls are pretty
All your men are running from somewhere
Making a name for themselves

Are you running from something
Or did you come from nothing
Are you testing the Lord
With the cards that you've been dealt

I Can Feel You by Delilah


Hold your breath, don't cry, they're coming

Tainted secrets, don't die, they're coming

And if you wait for dawn to fade
You should see the dark
And as the gold defines your pain

I can feel your heart
Open from the start
I can feel your soul
Yearning to my call
I can feel you

Hold my hand, don't hide, cause they're comin'
Fallen angels, fly by, and they're comin'

So if you wait for dawn to fade
You should see the dark
And as the gold defines your pain

I can feel your heart
Open from the start
And I can feel your soul
Yearning to my call
I can feel you

We're All In The Dance by Feist




Life's a dance, we all have to do
What does the music quiet?
People are moving together
Close as the flames in a fire

Feel the beat; music and rhyme
While there is time.

We all go 'round and 'round
Partners of lost and found
Looking for one more chance
All I know is,
We're all in the dance

Night and Day, the music plays on
We are all part of the show
While we can hold on to someone
Even though life won't let us go


Feel the beat; music and rhyme
While there is time.

We all go round and round
Partners of lost and found
Looking for one more chance
All I know is,
We're all in the dance

We're all in the dance

We all go round and round
Partners of lost and found
Looking for one more chance
All we know is,
We're all in the dance
