a song of modern love

The Shins - Girl on the Wing

One wound up punch of intuition
Lays flat my whole take on us.
Youre the girl on the wing of a barnstormer
The tidal rabbit who came of age before her time.

We could have been so good-natured
If id relented when you insisted,
But weve been backed against
All natures walls far too long.

You felt abandoned by me,
I recall the sunshine as you were melting
And though the comedy softens the fall
They still hear us with their ears to the wall.

I sold all my evil motives,
No icicles stuck in my hide.
Im through with riddles, i know were little
Just help me feel warm inside.

Before we take this ride and let it slide
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide.
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
Remember youre the one who summoned me above any other kind.

We could have been so good-natured
If youd relented when i insisted,
We take a week off, let the garden grow by itself
And let the gluttons fill themselves with all the worst of the gory ninties.
And though the comedy softens the fall, we stall fall short.

Before we take this ride and let it slide
Into the cracks where fall and winter collide.
I surrender all my gall in a song of modern love.
Remember youre the one who summoned me above any other kind.

Summertime Clothes - Animal Collective

Sweet summer night but Im stripped to my sheets
Forehead is leaking, the AC squeaks and
A voice from the clock says, "Youre not gonna get tired"
My bed is a pool and the walls are on fire
Soak my head in the sink for a while
Chills on my neck and it makes me smile but
My bones have to move and my skins gotta breathe
You pick up the phone and Im so relieved

You slide down your stairs to the heated street
The sun has left us with slippery feet
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you
And be here with you

It doesnt really matter, Ill go where you feel
Hunt for the breeze, get a midnight meal
I point in the windows, you point out the parks
Rip up your sleeves and Ill ditch my socks
Dance to the songs from the cars as they pass
Weave through the cardboard, smell that trash
Walking around in our summertime clothes,
Nowhere to go while our bodies blow
But well greet the dawn with morning blues
In purple yards well be sleeping soon
And I want to walk around with you
And I want to walk around with you

And when the sun goes down well go out again
Dont cool off, I like your warmth
Lets leave the sound of the heat for the sound of the rain
Its easy to sleep when it wets my brain
It covers my rest with a saccharine sheen
Kissing the wind through my window screen
But restless is causeless and I cannot hide
So much on my mind that it spills outside
Do you wanna go stroll down a financial street
Our clothes might get soaked
But the buildings asleep

And theres no one pushing for a place
As we enter at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you
I want to walk around with you
Just you just you

maybe it's crashing down

Half Mast - Empire of the Sun

Come on now can we talk about it like we used to talk about
Hotel in the hills with a carousel
Farmhouse in the front a tractor in the lounge

Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know

Listen now can we talk in love and walk the town
Be easy now, go hiking through the hills in a summer gown
Raise the kids, peace within and make our sound

Hear me now, I'm down on knees and praying
though my faith is weak
without you so please baby please give us a chance
make amends and I will stand until the end
a million times a trillion more

Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know

Smile baby don't cry
I will only fly with you by my side
Baby I'm cornered now
Baby don't push me out
Lately I walk in doubt
Maybe it's crashing down
Baby can you save it now

Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know
Oh oh oh honey I need you round I know I know

Baby I'm cornered now
Baby don't push me out
Lately I walk in doubt
Maybe it's crashing down

Baby I'm cornered now
Baby don't push me out
Lately I walk in doubt
Maybe it's crashing down

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd


So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
Were just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Passion Pit - The Reeling

Seriously how is Passion Pit so awesome? Having listened to "Sleepyhead" oh, over 400 times according to my itunes, it's safe to say they have one of my favorite sounds. I really associate their music with my trip to paris this past summer cause that's when i listened to Sleepyhead on repeat for two weeks straight. That and "Breathe" by Telepopmusik.



we dug these holes we crawled into now they're my home
now here i cannot feel the wind, cant feel the rain oh no
and i believe in gentle harmony
well how i loathe all this obscenity
is this the way my life has got to be?
have i a single opportunity?

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

and all at once i feel this, oh how it clings to me
it reels and calls me towards it, confounding destiny
and i can feel the madness inch by inch
the more i run the more i am convinced
a color all these like the branches glimpse
just like the saddle in the foggy mist

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
and everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

look at me oh look at me is this the way i'll always be
oh no, oh no
now i pray that somebody will quickly come and kidnap me
oh no, oh no
and everyday i lie awake and pray to god today's the day
oh no, oh no
here i am oh here i am oh when will someone understand?
oh no, oh no

better things are coming i swear there's truth in that

you're gonna drive me crazy
you're gonna drive me mad
you got an angel on your shoulder
makin hairpins outta glass
