Das Bildnis des Dorian Gray

 

Editors – The Picture

You can’t fail this time
I’ll be where you are
Be afraid for me
Be too good for me

You look back at the picture
And realise things then were different
It’s not who you know
It’s what you know then

Rest your weary head
Close your heavy eyes
This last drink so near
Your smile shines on me

You look back at the picture
And realise things then were different
It’s not who you know
It’s what you know then

Look at the picture
And realise things now are different
It’s not who you know
It’s what you know then
Know then
Know then
Know then

Farewell

Here’s To You, lyrics by LISBETH SCOTT, written by ENNIO MORRICONE/JOAN BAEZ, arranged by HARRY GREGSON-WILLIAMS

 

Here’s to you

Rest forever, here in our hearts

The last and final moment is yours

That agony is your triumph

 

 

Total Recall

ANBERLIN – Breaking

Do you memorize theatrical lines
that seem to lead them in
Play the role with the good girl heart
oh the tangled web within
Who was it that lead you on
that made you want to hurt me so
Who are you out to forget
who’s forgot you long ago

Do you still feel it
calling in the act tonight
do you still feel it
seems like you’ve done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
seem like you’ve done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
and you’ve done this, you’ve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore
You’ve got breaking up all but down
I can’t love a thief anymore

Do you collect the souls you’ve lost
in the top of your dresser drawer
count the number of tears displaced
on lonely bedroom floors
where the shape of your heart once was
slowly takes the place of you
will they hold the memories now
of the love I though I knew

Do you still feel it
calling in the act tonight
Do you still feel it
Seems like you’ve done this before
You make breaking hearts look so easy
seems like you’ve done this before
You’ve got breaking up all but down
and you’ve done this, you’ve done this before
You make stealing hearts look so easy
Where is the girl I adore
You’ve got breaking up all but down
and I can’t love a thief anymore

You make breaking hearts look so easy
You’ve got breaking up all but down
You make breaking hearts look so easy
Seems like you’ve done this before
You’ve got breaking hearts all but down
You’ve done this, you’ve done this before

The most you could hope to be
now just a bitter sweet memory

Make My Day

Die Poets of the Fall sind zurück mit ihrer ersten Promosingle zum neuen Album. Reinhören!

POETS OF THE FALL – The Ultimate Fling

Today it’s in the air again,
Today another incident that just went off.
No way, this time I will not take the blame,
It’s pretty obvious who needs to shut up.
Ashtrays filled with the fruits of our transgressions,
Here and there sarcasm overflows.
To stay, I need the sitcom to be rerun
Till I get the gist of just how it goes.
So what would you have me do?

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I’m out of cheats to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Somehow I’ve been blindsided by my own
Kindhearted notion of just who we are.
No doubt we’d have collided anyway
With me endicted and you raising alarm.
First round I’ll take my bows into my corner,
Take the vows, regroup and run back again.
Bloody hell, I know no better pedigree
Than what you see, so you could not offend.

Did I act like a fool cos I didn’t know what to do when you gave me just a little bit more than I bargained for,
A little too much in my hands when my hands are tired.
It’s the ultimate fling to go frolicking, licking the muck from the soles of the boots of your pride.
Every time you lied…

Chorus.
Give me a reason, come on and make my day,
Cos I’m out of cheats to turn the other way.
Ask yourself just how lucky do you feel?

Ooooh, yeeeeh, give me a reason.
Yeeeh, make my day.

Hilfe, es Weihnachtet sehr

Zur Feier des Tages entsprechende Mucke auf die Ohren. Frohes Fest!

ANBERLIN – Baby, Please Come Home

(Christmas)
The snow’s coming down
(Christmas)
I’m watching it fall
(Christmas)
Watching the people around
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home
(Christmas)
The church bells in town
(Christmas)
They’re ringing a song
(Christmas)
Oh the happiest sound
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home

They’re singing Deck the Halls
But it’s not like Christmas at all.
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year.

(Christmas)
Pretty lights on the tree
(Christmas)
And I’m watching them shine
(Christmas)
You should be here with me
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home

They’re singing deck the halls
But it’s not like Christmas at all.
I remember when you were here
And all the fun we had last year.

(Christmas)
If there was a way,
(Christmas)
I’d hold back these tears
(Christmas)
But it’s Christmas day
(Christmas)
Baby, please come home

Home Alone

Für die kalten Wintertage, an denen man einfach nicht weiß, wo man eigentlich hingehört…

Chihiro Onitsuka – Everyhome 

I’m sure they’ve continued blaming themselves
for not snapping out of their dreams
And yet now I’m waiting for the next train that isn’t coming

With “Don’t forgive weakness,”
when someone’s feelings overflow
the world adds the palpitations to the pile, seeming quite unreal

Goin’ on, goin’ on
If I’m completely swept away to somewhere else
Everyhome
That will seem like a slight breeze

The sound of trees swaying
is very much not to be relied on from you
So I can’t believe in even the journey’s end

Goin’ on, goin’ on
If I’m completely swept away to somewhere else
Everyhome
That will seem like a slight breeze

The wish for our separate shadows –
why is it able to swallow down the night?
If I can outdistance no matter how much scenery
The falling rain, the blooming flowers can be taken along to there

Talk about something just a little with me
And I’ll keep walking this road,
not exactly so I can search for a home to return to

Goin’ on, goin’ on
If I’m completely swept away to somewhere else
Everyhome –
That will seem like a slight breeze
Goin’ on, goin’ on
What is protecting my certain self
Everyhome
with the power that only exists softly
and makes me forever unable to sleep
next to someone
is what exists, irreplaceable by
neither words nor reason
Goin’ on
Everyhome
Goin’ on

I’m sure they’ve continued blaming themselves
for not snapping out of their dreams
And yet now I’m waiting for the next train that isn’t coming

Big City Blues

Yoko Kanno & The Seatbelts - The Real Folk Blues

It’s too late to cry I love you
The wind still blowing, my heart still aching

One side of my eyes sees tomorrow
And the other one sees yesterday
I hope I can sleep in the cradle of your love, again

Cry for me, somebody with dry eyes

The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real sorrow
It’s not bad a life in the muddy river if life is once

How long I must live till I release?

The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real pleasure
All that glitters is not gold

Feuerblume

Für einen geliebten Menschen, möge die Nacht wie der Tag erstrahlen. 

Yellowcard - Light Up The Sky

You’re making a choice to live like this,
And all of the noise,
I am Silence.
We already know how it ends tonight,
You run in the dark through a firefight.
And I would explode just to save your life,
Yeah I would explode.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.
Let me light up the sky.

I can’t find a wall to pin this to,
They’re all coming down since I’ve found you.
I just wanna be where you are tonight.
I run in the dark looking for some light,
And how will we know if we just don’t try,
We won’t ever know.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me tell you why,
I would die for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you.
Let me make this mine,
I’ll ignite for you.

Let me light up the sky,
Just for you tonight.
Let me help you fly,
Cause you won’t have time.

To cover your eyes,
Or get your disguise,
They won’t ask you why,
They just watch you die.

And it’s still so hard to be who you are,
So you play this part,
And the show goes on.
But you’ve come this far with a broken heart,
Yeah you’ve come this far,
And you’re broken…

Let me light up the sky,
Let me light up the sky.

Save It For Later

Plattentipp der Woche:

The Fray - How To Save A Life

Step one, you say we need to talk.
He walks, you say sit down it’s just a talk.
He smiles politely back at you,
You stare politely right on through.
Some sort of window to your right.
As he goes left and you stay right.
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came.

Let him know that you know best
Cuz after all, you do know best.
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you’ve told him all along.
And pray to God he hears you.

As he begins to raise his voice,
You lower yours and grant him one last choice.
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you’ve followed.
He will do one of two things.
He will admit to everything,
Or he’ll say he’s just not the same
And you’ll begin to wonder why you came.

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend somewhere along in the bitterness.
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I know how to save a life.
