Here's Where The Story Ends by The Sundays

People I know, places I go
Make me feel tongue-tied
I can see how people look down
They're on the inside

Here's where the story ends

People I see, weary of me
Showing my good side
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outside
Here's where the story endsOoh, here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
Oh, I never should have said, the books that you read
Were all I loved you for

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes me wonder why
And it's the memories of your shed that make me turn red
Surprise, surprise, surprise

Crazy I know, places I go
Make me feel so tired
I can see how people look down
I'm on the outsideOh, here's where the story ends

Ooh, here's where the story ends

It's that little souvenir of a terrible year
Which makes my eyes feel sore
And who ever would've thought the books that you brought
Were all I loved you for

Oh, the Devil in me said, go down to the shed
I know where I belong
But the only thing I ever really wanted to say
Was wrong, was wrong, was wrong

It's that little souvenir of a colorful yearWhich makes me smile inside

So I cynically, cynically say, the world is that way
Surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise, surprise

Here's where the story ends
Ooh, here's where the story ends

notus: i feel so numb, so devoid of feeling.

Such Great Heights by The Postal Service

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images and when we kiss
They're perfectly aligned

And I have to speculate

That God himself did make us
Into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

And true it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death

When you are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
Come down now, they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
Come down now but we'll stay

I've tried my best to leave
This all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You'll hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights

Come down now, they'll say

But everything looks perfect from far away

Come down now but we'll stay

notus: you are the one.

Fair by Remy Zero

Hey, are you lonely?
Has summer gone so slowly?
We found the ground
And that damage was done
It's cold as you fade into the sun
Where'd you go? To me?

But you're alive, well it's only
Fallen frames, they told me
You stand out, it's so loud
And so what if it is?
It's cold as you face into the wind
Where'd it go tonight the sun shall see its light?

So what if you catch me, where would we land?
In somebody's life for taking his hands
Sing to me hope as she's thrown on the sand
All of our work is raided again, where to go?

And you were somehow
The rain this thing could allow
But it's all wrong, you're so strong
And this life and work
And choice took far too long
Where'd it go tonight the sun shall see its light

So what if you catch me, where would we land?
In somebody's life for taking his hands
Sing to me hope as she's thrown on the sand
All of our work is raided again

When I was sure you'd follow through
My world was turned to blue so thin
When you'd hide your songs would die
So I'd hide yours with mine
And all my words were bound to fail
I know you won't fail see, I can tell

notus: Tony, I always go back and forth when it comes down to us, but I trust you fully.

Don't You Worry Child by Swedish House Mafia

There was a time

I used to look into my father's eyes.

In a happy home

I was a king, I had a golden throne.

Those days are gone,

Now the memories are on the wall.

I hear the sounds

Of the places where I was born.

Upon a hill across a blue lake,

That's where I had my first heartbreak.

I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

There was a time

I met a girl of a different kind.

We ruled the world,

I thought I'd never lose her out of sight.

We were so young, I think of her now and then.

I still hear the song that reminded me of my friend.

Upon a hill across the blue lake,

That's where I had my first heartbreak.

I still remember how it all changed.

My father said,

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh!

See heaven's got a plan for you

[Live version repetitions:]

See heaven's got a plan for you

See heaven's got a plan for you

"Don't you worry, don't you worry, child.

See heaven's got a plan for you.

Don't you worry, don't you worry now."

Yeah!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Yeah!

notus: my Fathers' Day tribute to my dad

The Last Pale Light In The West by Ben Nichols

In my hands, I hold the ashes
In my veins, black pitch drums
In my chest, if I can catch this
In my way, the setting sun
Dark clouds gather 'round me
Due northwest, the soul is bound
And I will go on ahead, free
There's a light yet to be found

The last pale light in the west
The last pale light in the west

And I ask for no redemption
In this cold and barren place
Still I see the faint reflection
And so by it, I got my way

The last pale light in the west
The last pale light in the west

notes: esto es para ti, papa.

Better Off Now by Trent Dabbs

So easy to hurt 'n
So hard to forgive.
And there's no gettin' over
The people we've been
But it sounds like a question,
When we say this is it.

Won't you stay around?
Tell me that we're better off now.
Wait it out.
Tell me that we're better off now.
We're better off now.

From the first time we heard this
We were quick to believe.
That light on the surface
Was dark underneath.
You were enough to be nervous
But we just couldn't quit.

Stay around.
Tell me that we're bettter off now.
Wait it out.
Tell me that we're better off now.
We're better off, we're better off now.

But say that the sun might show up here tomorrow
And we could go back to that place
But say that the sun might show up here tomorrow
And we'll find a love we misplaced.

Just tell me that we're better off now.
Just tell me that we're better off now.
Just stay around.
Tell me that we're better off now.
We're better off now, better off now.

Barricades by Fyfe Dangerfield

When love is a crippled dream
When love is a crippled dream
That's where you'll find me
Saying I'm not afraid

And when love is a barricade
When love is a barricade
That's where I'll find you
Saying we're already made

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

When love is a howling face
Trapped in a hollow place
I won't surrender
or give you up

So don't put up these barricades
We don't need barricades
We have each other
And that won't fade

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day
Don't go away

To the dark, to the smoke
To those downstairs
No fares

I want to be near you all day
I want to be near you all day



notus: this song makes me wonder how it's like to be with anthony.

Everything Trying by Damien Jurado

I'd call you now to tell you I'm thinking of you
But it does me no good when the phone is just blocking my view
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you

And I would come back and admit that it wasn't your fault
But I'm tired and unwilling to be the only one who was wrong
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you
And I would sail back to you

I'll be sailing on your deep blue eyes...


notus: i'm in love with your sadness.
