“There was a single one
Then there were ten
With ten made a hundred
And a hundred million
You came and spoke to me
I saw your face”

Lyrics of the Week: Dirty Projectors
Lyrics of the Week: Matthew Dear
“As you find you have none
Take back what you need
I find that everything was in the past, it doesn’t last
In the share of what’s to come
Leaning to get it done
Take back what you need back”
Lyrics of the Day: Mount Eerie
“I’ve held aloft some delusions
From now on I will be perfectly clear
There’s no part of the world more meaningful
And raw impermanence echoes in the sky.
There is either no end
Or constant simultaneous end and beginning
A pile of trash
The fog on the hill
Standing in the parking lot squinting”
Lyrics of the Day: Mastodon
“Lost love
Bright eyes fading
Faster than stars falling
How can I tell you that I’ve failed?
Tell you I failed
Falling from grace cause I’ve been away too long
Leaving you behind with me lonesome song
Now I’m lost in oblivion”
Lyrics of the Day: Interpol
“No I don’t want to read your thoughts any more
My God
‘Cause today my heart swings
Yeah, today my heart swings
How are things on the West Coast?
Hear you movin’ real fine tonight
You wear those shoes, I decide
Oh strut those shoes,
We’ll go roaming in the night”
Lyrics of the Day: The Radio Dept.
“When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire
Fighting to keep it together, but it’s pointless
One look at you and heaven’s on fire,
Heaven’s on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We’re outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time”
Lyrics of the Day: Girls
“My love is like a river,
she just keeps on rolling along
No man ever can keep that girl
from moving on
Easy as she comes by,
easy as she’s gone
Get down, real down,
crying how I love that girl,
she’s as free as heaven on a breeze”
Lyrics of the Day: Spoon
“Oh yeah small stakes ensure you the minimum blues
But you don’t feel taken and you don’t feel abused
Small stakes tell you that there’s nothing can do
Can’t think big, can’t think past one or two and alright!
Yeah alright
Me and my friends
Sell ourselves
Short but feel
Very well
We feel fine
Oh we feel fine”
Lyrics of the Day: Feist
“Cicadas and gulls
A scrape on the hull
The land and the sea
Are distant from me
I’m in the sky, sky, sky
I’m in the sky
Thoughts are like pearls
When flags are unfurled”
Lyrics of the Day: Joy Division
“Procession moves on, the shouting is over,
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone.
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables,
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain.
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden,
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky,
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment,
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside.”
Lyrics of the Day: How to Dress Well
“I was on the phone with some cold lady
Who would have my mind
I was in the waking cold
Watch me lose myself, I rest
Who was in the cold with some cold lady?
Please don’t run, hey yeah
Who would have my mind
I was in the waking cold
Watch me lose myself, I rest”
