blue_raven and
lilyayl I would share, so here goes. ;) Help yourselves.
You Are a Runner and I Am My Father's Son - Wolf Parade (mp3)
Watching you run
Farther than guns will go
You are a runner
With a stolen voice
And you are a runner
And I am my father's son
I am my father's son
(Inspired my Ronon/Rodney sga_santa entry. This is the only song I've ever heard by Wolf Parade, but it's lovely, with an interesting beat and a distinctive voice for the main singer.)
Old Number Seven - The Devil Makes Three (mp3)
I guess I grew up on an old dirt road
Pedal to the metal always did what I was told
Till I found out that my brand new clothes
Came second-hand from the rich kids next door
When I grew up fast I guess I grew up mean
There's a thousand things inside my head I wish I ain't seen
And now I just wandered through a real bad dream
Feelin' like I'm coming apart at the seams
(I just love his husky voice and when he almost wails, it's wonderful.)
Love Song - Five For Fighting (wmv)
Put away your tears and your sleepy eyes
Put away that bullshit,
Big boys they don’t cry to their mamas
…She’ll be back soon
Put away your raincoat and make your bed
Take another bullet right to your head
We’re going on a picnic and we’ll get there soon
(This is one of my favorite Five for Fighting songs -- and rings true to me, as my parents are still going through their divorce because my father is a dumbfuck who can't turn the papers into the court at the proper time.)
When the Roses Bloom Again - Laura Cantrell (mp3)
When the roses bloom again
Beside the river
And the mockingbird has sung his sweet refrain
In the days of auld lang syne
I'll be with you sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the roses bloom again
(A traditional song about war. I've never heard of Laura Cantrell but she has a simple, elegant voice that is beautiful and makes this melancholy song perfect.)
