Dubstar - Stars:

"Is it asking too much to be given time
To know these songs and to sing them?
Is it asking too much of my vacant smile
And my laugh and lies that bring them?
But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God, I'm singing
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
Is it asking too much of my favourite friends
To take these songs for real?
Is it asking too much of my partner's hands
To take these songs for real?
But as the stars are going out
And this stage is full of nothing
And the friends have all but gone
For my life, my God, I'm singing
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out (is it asking too much?)
We'll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind
And watch the stars go out (is it asking too much?)
(Is it asking too much?)
And watch the stars go out
(Is it asking too much?)
(Is it asking too much?)
And watch the stars go out
(Is it asking too much?)
(Is it asking too much?)
And watch the stars go out"

And, Take That (I know...) Rule the World:

'You light the skies up above me
A star so bright, you blind me
Don't close your eyes, don't fade away
My heart, I know, now I'm losing
So pure, your love, so amazing, yeah-yeah
Don't close your eyes, don't fade away
Don't fade away, oh-oh
Yeah, you and me, we can ride on a star
If you stay with me, girl
We can rule the world
Yeah, you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world
If walls break down, I will comfort you
If angels cry, oh, I'll be there for you
You've saved my soul, don't leave me now
Don't leave me now, oh-oh
Yeah, you and me, we can ride on a star
If you stay with me, girl
We can rule the world
Yeah, you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world
(Ooh-ooh)
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you, oh-oh
(Yeah, you and me we can ride on a star)
If you stay with me, girl
We can rule the world
Yeah, you and me, we can light up the sky
If you stay by my side
We can rule the world
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you
All the stars, ooh-ooh
We can rule the world
All the stars, ooh-ooh
We can rule the world
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you
All the stars are coming out tonight
They're lighting up the sky tonight
For you
For you"

LOL, last song, ten years later:

Diamonds In The Mine (Leonard Cohen)

The woman in blue, she's asking for revenge
The man in white - that's you - says he has no friends
The river is swollen up with rusty cans
And the trees are burning in your promised land

And there are no letters in the mailbox
And there are no grapes upon the vine
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore
And there are no diamonds in the mine
And there are no diamonds in the mine

Well, you tell me that your lover has a broken limb
You say you're kind of restless now and it's on account of him
Well, I saw the man in question, it was just the other night
He was eating up a lady where the lions and Christians fight

And there are no letters in the mailbox
And there are no grapes upon the vine
And there are no chocolates in the boxes anymore
And there are no diamonds in the mine
And there are no diamonds in the mine

Ah, there is no comfort in the covens of the witch
Some very clever doctor went and sterilized the bitch
And the only man of energy, yes the revolution's pride
He trained a hundred women just to kill an unborn child

And there are no letters in the mailbox
Oh no, there are no, no grapes upon your vine
And there are, there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore
And there are no diamonds in your mine

And there are no letters in the mailbox
And there are no grapes upon the vine
And there are no chocolates in your boxes anymore
And there are no diamonds in your mine
And there are no diamonds in your mine

BOC. Astronomy:

"Clock strikes 12 and moon drops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Like acid and oil on a madman's face
His reason tends to fly away
Like lesser birds on the four winds
Like silver scrapes in May
And now the sand's become a crust
Most of you have gone away
Come Susie, dear, let's take a walk
Just out there upon the beach
I know you'll soon be married
And you want to know where winds come from
Well, it's never said at all
On the map that Carrie reads
Behind the clock back there, you know
At the four winds bar
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Four winds at the four winds bar
Two doors barred and windows barred
One door to let to take you in
The other one just mirrors it
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hellish glare and inference
The other one's a duplicate
The queenly flux, eternal light
Or the light that never warms
Yes, the light that never, never warms
Oh, the light that never
Never warms
Never warms
Never warms
The clock strikes 12, the moondrops burst
Out at you from their hiding place
Miss Carrie nurse and Susie dear
Would find themselves at four winds bar
It's the nexus of the crisis
And the origin of storms
Just the place to hopelessly
Encounter time and then came me
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
Call me Desdinova
Eternal light
These gravely digs of mine
Will surely prove a sight
And don't forget my dog
Fixed and consequent
Astronomy
A star
Astronomy
A star"

Miss Susie would understand.....

DUKE'S TRAVELS. GENESIS.

I am the one who guided you this far,
All you know and all you feel.
Nobody must know my name
For nobody would understand,
And you kill what you fear,
And you fear what you don't understand. 

I call you for I must leave,
You're on your own until the end.
There was a choice but now it's gone,
I said you wouldn't understand,
Take what's yours and be damned.

Peter Gabriel's entire song "Your Eyes" is lovely ... but this part 
found in the chorus haunts me...
....
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
In your eyes, to a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches
In your eyes
In your eyes, oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I wanna be that complete
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes

I always found the non-English refrain curious...

[Youssou N'Dour:]
Sa bet chi lamp, chi tangaay, sa bet maangi ci biir

It means: "your eyes in lamp and heat, your eyes inside."

... In your eyes ... In your eyes ... In your eyes

Crowded House, Don't Dream it's Over.

First heard it in the soundtrack to The Stand, which, of course starts with my fave band Blue Oyster Cult's Don't fear the Reaper.

Don't start me on my guilty pleasure, the Carpenters....

I’m diggin
your music vibes OldCarpy2.

[Good Bacteria]

It's usually a heartbreak that tends to erroneously devastate your life when you're in your twenties lol.

This resonates with me because every word is EXACTLY how it went and I truly haven't had anything better.

"Love can be so boring...."

Bonus track, same band and album. Totally underrated. Enjoy!!

"Cause my shackles
So you won't be
And my rapture
So you won't believe
And deep inside you will bleed for me."

[sahgwa]

Au fond du Puy je vis, une vie de misère
In the depths of Puy, I live a life of misery


Parsemée d'ennuis, et surtout, de galères
Filled with troubles, and above all, hardships

Accélérer l'oubli en enchaînant les verres
Accelerating forgetfulness by chaining glasses

Pour traverser les nuits, désormais trop sévères
To get through the nights, now too harsh

Sous un soleil de plomb, une brève accalmie
Under scorching sun, a brief respite

N'a pas eu ma raison: Muratello, fini!
Didn't have my reason: Muratello, done!

Aujourd'hui je survis comme un loup solitaire
Today I survive like a lone wolf


Ton fantôme me suit, et à chaque fois je perds.
Your ghost follows me, and every time I lose.

Au fin fond du Velay, où j'ai trouvé refuge
In the deepest depths of Velay, where I found refuge

Tomberont mes regrets, après toi le déluge
My regrets will fall, after you, the deluge

Au fin fond des vallées, à l'alcool je me purge
In the deepest valleys, I cleanse myself with alcohol

Le diable s'en est allé, on continue les murges!
The devil is gone, we continue the revelry!

Mais ici, tout me lasse, me blesse et finit par me nuire.
But here, everything tires me, hurts me, and ends up harming me.

Au fond du trou je suis, plus aucune lumière
I am in the depths of a hole, no light anymore

Ne traverse ma vie, ça ne date pas d'hier
Doesn't go through my life, it's not a recent thing

Parfois je m'assoupis puisque tout m'indiffère
Sometimes I doze off since everything is indifferent to me

Ou je trinque sans répit, jusqu'à tomber par terre
Or I clink glasses relentlessly, until I fall

Dans les rues de Clermont, clairement meurtrie
In the streets of Clermont, clearly bruised

J'ai perdu la raison, la fête est finie.
I lost my reason, the party is over.

Aujourd'hui je survis comme un loup solitaire
Today I survive like a lone wolf


Ton fantôme me suit, et à chaque fois je perds.
Your ghost follows me, and every time I lose.

Au fin fond du Velay, où j'ai trouvé refuge
In the deepest depths of Velay, where I found refuge

Tomberont mes regrets, après toi le déluge
My regrets will fall, after you, the deluge

Au fin fond des vallées, à l'alcool je me purge
In the deepest valleys, I cleanse myself with alcohol

Le diable s'en est allé, on continue les murges!
The devil is gone, we continue the revelry!

Mais ici, tout me lasse, me blesse et finit par me nuire.
But here, everything tires me, hurts me, and ends up harming me.

Great selection. Did you know that this is a song that Peter wrote to God? It essentially is a song about God and approaching the divinity -inside us, around us and up there.
