Damien Rice "The Blower's Daughter"

Haunting

Avett Brothers "Laundry Room"

Don't push me out,
just a little longer
Stall your mother,
disregard ur fathers words.

Close the laundry door,
tiptoe across the floor
Keep your clothes on,
I got all that I can take
Teach me how to use
the love that people say you made

Stop your parents car
i just thought you'd ignore
We can wish upon it
but we wont share the wish we made
But i cant keep no secrets,
I wish that you would always stay
Last night i dreamt the whole night long
I woke with a head full of songs
i spent the whole day
I wrote em down but its a shame
Tonight i'll burn the lyrics,
cause every chorus was your name


Break this tired old routine,
and this time dont make me leave

I am a breathing time machine,
i'll take you on for a ride

Janet Jackson "Runaway" + Juliahee Kim

Song is "Runaway" by Janet Jackson. Snowboarder is Julia at Mt. Bachelor, Oregon in April 2008. My first attempt at video.

I've seen the world
Been to many places

Made lots of friends
Many different races

I've had such fun
Around the world it's true
African skies with Nairobi mood
I fell asleep in Tuscany and dreamed

The one thing missing was you

Chorus:
Runaway with me my love

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The one thing missing was you
Runaway with me my love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

I woke up with an Australian breeze
And danced the dance with Aborigines

Oh under the moon glow
Down in Mexico

I dreamed
One thing was missing that's you
Repeat Chorus

We'll sail the water of many colours
Won't need no compass

Love will guide our way
Don't need nobody
Long as we got each other
No need to hurry
We've got everyday
I want to share
The world with you you see
Springtime in Paris

Was so good to me
Oh this is for me and
Reality so please
Make all my wishes come true

Runaway with me my love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
The one thing missing was you
And I just want to have a good time
Yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And I just know we'll have a good time
Yeah
Oh please come with me
And I just know we'll have a good time
It'll be fun walking in the rain in Spain
And I just know we'll have a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds "Breathless"

Poetry set to music.


It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you
And the red-breasted robin beats his wings
His throat it trembles when he sings
For he is helpless before you
The happy hooded bluebells bow
And bend their heads all a-down
Heavied by the early morning dew
At the whispering stream, at the bubbling brook
The fishes leap up to take a look
For they are breathless over you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your mind
Still your soul
For still, the fare of love is true
And I am breathless without you
The wind circles among the trees
And it bangs about the new-made leaves
For it is breathless without you
The fox chases the rabbit round

The rabbit hides beneath the ground
For he is defenceless without you
The sky of daytime dies away
And all the earthly things they stop to play
For we are all breathless without you
I listen to my juddering bones
The blood in my veins and the wind in my lungs
And I am breathless without you
Still your hands
And still your heart
For still your face comes shining through
And all the morning glows anew
Still your soul
Still your mind
Still, the fire of love is true
And I am breathless without you

Diana Krall "Look of Love"

Diana Krall - Look Of Love (From "Live In Paris... by EagleRockTV

This is smooth as the sound of silk at midnight.

Eddie Vedder "Throw Your Arms Around Me"

Such a simple song but E.V. makes it talk to your heart.

Annie Flore Batchiellilys "Sing"

A beautiful song that makes me happy. Annie Flore Batchiellilys is from Gabon

Motorcycle "As the Rush Comes"

Chillier than Chill.

Kings of Leon "Closer"

Stranded in the spooky town, 

Stop-lights are swayin' and the phone lines are down. 

The floor is crackling cold, 

She took my heart, I think she took my soul.

With the moon I run, 

Far from the carnage of the fiery sun. 

Driven by the strangle of vein,

Showin' no mercy, I'll do it again.

Open up your eyes, 

You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry. 

The skies are blinkin' at me, 

I see a storm bubblin' up from the sea. 

And it's coming closer... [2x]

You shimmy shook my bones, 

Leavin' me stranded,

All in love on my own. 

Do you think of me? 

Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep? 

It feels so good but I'm old, 

Two-thousand years of chasin' and takin' it's toll. 

And it's coming closer... [4x]

The Zombies "Time of the Season"

Groovy......Feel good song and one of the best Ever. 
It's the time of the season
When the love runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try With pleasured hands
To take you and the sun to Promised lands
To show you every one
It's the time of the season for loving
What's your name?
Who's your daddy?
Is he rich like me?
 Has he taken
Any time
To show you what you need to live?
Tell it to me slowly Tell you what?
I really want to know
It's the time of the season for loving

The Faces "Maybe I'm Amazed"

Really rather glorious, this. Rod Stewart with Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones tearing the arse out of Paul McCartney's 'Maybe I'm Amazed' in 1972. Marvellous as the original is, this really is magik.

Amy Winehouse & Tony Bennett "Body & Soul"

Beyonce "Crazy in Love"

Great song. Great rap. Great moves. Very sexy.

Tracy Chapman "Baby Can I Hold You"

One of the best lovesongs ever. Sounds great when sung by a pub full of soccer hooligans.

RZA & Xavier Naidoo "Ich Kenne Nichts"

RZA:

You know they say
In every man's life, there comes a time
When you get struck by the arrow of Cupid
By the love of God, or the beauty of a woman
Yes, sometimes this love brings thunder into your life
And it brings the storm...
Sing about it!

Xaiver Naidoo:

There is more to love than this
Love is more then just a kiss
Will we take you to that step
Will we do more than just connect
And will you bring the thunder in my life
And the fire in my eyes
Cause then there will be days of pleasure and
Everything far will be so near

I have never felt thunder (thunder)
And lightning (lightning) like this
I have never been struck by (struck by)
A wonder (a wonder) like this

Ich könnte tagelang von
Dir erzählen / Ohne deinen
Namen auch nur einmal
Zu erwähnen / Unter
Schmerzen oder
Unter Tränen / würde dein
Name als meine
Linderung dienen / Jede
Deiner Bewegungen sind
Erstrebenswert / Und
Jede Stunde mit dir ist
So
Lebenswert.

I could talk about you for days
Without mentioning your name not even once
Under pain or among tears
Your name is my alleviation
Each one of your movements are desirable
And each moment with you is worth living.


Nichts ist vergleichbar mit
Dem was du gibst / Mit
Dem was du zeigst uns wie du lebst, wie du liebst.

Nothing compares with the things that you give
With those you show us how you live, how you love.

Ich kenne nichts,
Ich kenne nichts,
Das so schön ist wie du...

I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Something as beautiful as you...

Schöne Tage mit dir sind kostbar,
So kostbar wie der Weg zum Morgenstern.
Ich zelebriere sie wie einen Festtag,
An dem ich immer wieder neues von Dir lern.

Beatiful days with you are precious
So precious as the way to the morning star
I celebrate them like a feast,
Where i always something new from you learn.

Im Moment ist das das Schönste dich zu kennen.
Dich zu kennen ist wie das Beste das ich hab.
Verzeih mir aber dieses sag ich nochmal:
Deinen Namen zu nennen ist wohl das Schönste was ich sag!

At the moment, knowing you, is the most beautiful thing
Knowing you is the best thing that i have.
Forgive me, but i say this again:
Mentioning your name is the most beautiful thing that i say.

Ich kenne nichts,
Ich kenne nichts,
Das so schön ist wie du...

I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Something as beautiful as you...

Ich kenne nichts,
Ich kenne nichts,
Das so schön ist wie du...

I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Something as beautiful as you...

Ich kenne nichts,
Ich kenne nichts,
Das so schön ist wie du...

I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Something as beautiful as you...

Ich kenne nichts,
Ich kenne nichts,
Das so schön ist wie du...

I’ve never seen
I’ve never seen
Something as beautiful as you...

David Bowie "Cactus"

Bowie's version of a great Pixies song.

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
D A V I D
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

Pixies "Hey"

hey
been trying to meet you
mmmmmm hmmmmm

whore in my bed
but hey

have you
been
if you go i will surely die
we're chained

uh said the man to the lady
mmmmmm hmmmm

and the whores like a choir

and mary ain't you tired of this

the
sound
that THE MOTHER MAKES WHEN HER BABY breaks
we're chained
