A song-a-day blog! I love sharing music that others might not have heard before, old and new, as well as giving lesser-known artists some exposure.
Song: None Shall Pass
Artist: Aesop Rock
Album: None Shall Pass
Year: 2007
When a king is a whore who comply and conform
Miles outside of the eye of the storm
With a siphon to lure and a prize and award
While avoiding the vile and bizarre that is violence and war
Song: Phil
Artist: Buck 65
Album: This Right Here Is Buck 65
Year: 2004
go find the girl with a low voice
who holds the world in her bare hands
you’ll fall in love, you’ll have no choice
once you are given a fair chance
For the first time you will sleep well
take a deep breath, see the sun shine
hold on to her for dear life
and then watch the whole world unwind
Ask her to show you some magic
and I guarantee that she’ll say yes
tell her that “you’ve seen forever
and we will be together not a day less.”
Song: Look Around
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album: I’m With You
Year: 2011
It’s emotional and I told you so
But you had to know so I told you
Please don’t look right through me
Hurts my heart when you do that to me.

Album: For True
Year: 2011
Your love makes me do the craziest things

I’m halfway there watching Northshore from the floor singing to you over my shoulder

How long, I say how long, will you re-live the things that are gone?
The devil’s on your back but I know you can shake him off

I’m taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again

Fight the power for people to defeat the beast
Well it’s right here, it’s right now
It’s anything I plan
It’s a poem that proves a point
It’s everything I am
Song: No Light No Light
Artist: Florence + The Machine
Album: Ceremonials
Year: 2011
You want a revelation
You want to get it right
But it’s a conversation
I just can’t have tonight
Song: Origine Nascota

As an added note: The file was too large to upload, but the piece “Divenire” off the same album is absolutely lovely. Listen if you can find it.
