The Stranglers "Golden Brown"

Golden brown texture like sun
Lays me down with my mind she runs
Throughout the night
No need to fight
Never a frown with golden brown

Every time just like the last
On her ship tied to the mast
To distant lands
Takes both my hands
Never a frown with golden brown

Golden brown finer temptress
Through the ages she's heading

West
From far away
Stays for a day
Never a frown with golden brown

Never a frown
With golden brown
Never a frown
With golden brown

I love that song; it's so beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJL8GjLCGxU
I was really disappointed when I found out it's about heroin, though :(

I love this song too, and look this golden brown thing don't have to be heroin.... see it as synonymously for anything you can relax with....

What we gon' do right now is go back, way back
Bring in the groove

I wanna dedicate this to those who never made it
From kindergarten to the 12th I never graduated
Yo but college wasn't for some of us
So we joined the service
I seen a kid get murdered in Nam listening to Elvis
But on the out looking in
Things stay the same
But at the same vein
Looking out the whole world's changed
So keep your head up
Don't get caught up in the fast bucks
And find your mom crying while your lying in a black tux
Trust me

We don't need no education says a young man
Sitting in class (sitting in class)
School is out 3 o'clock on the dot
He had beef with some kids and he got shot, oh Lord

Turn on the television
I'm watching Martin Luther King who had a dream, oh
So take this dream and apply it to your life
Even though we know the ghetto's rough
But we got to

[1] - Keep your head up
(Uh keep your head up)
Cause a new day will come
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
And look towards the sun
(Look towards the sun)
Even when the darkness shall come

(Ooh) It's real son
(Ooh) To my people living Life it's real son

I turn the page
What's the news today
People getting fired, walking on a wire
Looting on the streets cause the kid's gotta eat
Oh, oh turn around and look at the hour glass
I gotta get it straight
Before it's too late
Cause I don't wanna be behind that gates

Keep your head up
(Uh keep your head up)
Cause a new day will come
(Uh-huh, uh-huh)
And look towards the sun
Even when the darkness shall come

[2] - All my people in the back
Mama, mama
You know you raised me with no father figure
(Didn't ya)
I wanna take this time to thank you
For giving me life, oh yeah
Mama, mama
You know you raised me with no father figure
(Didn't ya)
I wanna take this time to thank you
Even though I'm doing Life
Alright

(Ooh) It's real son, alright
(Ooh) Can't flee
(Ooh)All my people doing time
(Ooh)People in the back playing cards
(Ooh)Don't lose your money yeah
Yeah tell them don't lose your money, c'mon, c'mon

[Repeat 1]

[Repeat 2]

(Ooh) For my people doing time (alright)
(Ooh) For my people doing time (alright)

Wyclef good song.

I think we should send a copy of the EE vid to Flyleaf .... "Lacey" looks to have some serious potential. I think I might go make friends :)

FLYLEAF "Breathe Today"

You try your hardest to perfect your explanations
You lie until they've run out of questions

You can only move as fast as
Who's in front of you,
And if you assume,
Just like them,
What good will it do,
So find out for yourself
So your ignorance,
Will stop bleeding through.

You can breathe today.

So many lies swarming around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.

Logic forces me to believe in this,
And I have learned to see,
And I can only say what I've seen and heard,
And only you can choose,
And every choice you make will effect you,
Suit your own self.

You can breathe today.

So many lies swirling,
Around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.


So many lies swirling,
Around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.

BREATHE!

Big enough to fill the void that's inside of you,
It's just a breath away (away, away)

So many lies swirling,
Around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath,
You're suffocating.

So many lies swirling,
Around you,
You're suffocating,
The empty shape in you,
Steals your breath-
So many lies swirling
Around you
The empty shape in you

Breathe today.

I like her too. From what I understand though the members of Flyleaf are pretty big into christianity. The christian version of EE may be a better choice for her. ;)

After going through this thread

I found some more choir music:

Edit: Scarlet, mucho gracias for the hanuman link! It was... complete.

I have to point out that they did a pretty cool rendition of Toto's "Africa" in this, so if anyone liked that song they should check this out.
All with voices, I did not notice any instruments used.

Hyperballad by Bjork

We live on a mountain
Right at the top
There's a beautiful view
From the top of the mountain
Every morning I walk towards the edge
And throw little things off
Like:
Car parts, bottles and cutlery
Or whatever I find lying around

It's become a habit
A way
To start the day

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

It's early morning
No one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
Still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
On their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
Imagine what my body would sound like
Slamming against those rocks

When it lands
Will my eyes
Be closed or open?

I go through all this
Before you wake up
So I can feel happier
To be safe up here with you

Living on a mountaintop together can be seen as a symbol of being completely in love; the beautiful view from the top is how she sees the world when she's so in love. She's at such heights of emotion Throwing off objects and imagining her death is not so much rehearsing suicide as it is testing the relationship, thinking about what it would be like to lose that love, a daily reminder of just how precarious love is. This is a private act ("before you wake up"), doubts and fears she keeps to herself. Crashing down on the rocks below can be seen as falling out of love. The line, "will my eyes be closed or open" = if she loses her love, will she have been aware of that as it was happening.

Oh yes, one of my favorite of hers.

Lykke Li - Sadness Is A Blessing

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7hqiiKwuJE

My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
My wounded rhymes make silent cries tonight
And I keep it like a burning(?)
I'm longing from a distance

I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go
For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl

These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight
I dream of times when you were mine so I
Can keep it like a haunting
Heart beating close to mine

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl

I ranted, I pleaded, I beg him not to go
For sorrow, the only lover I've ever known
Every night I rant, I plead, I beg him not to go
Will sorrow be the only lover I can call my own?

Sadness is a blessing
Sadness is a pearl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl
Sadness is my boyfriend
Oh, sadness I'm your girl
Oh, sadness I'm your girl

That's exactly what I was thinking! I'm gonna wait for breath-o-xtian to be released to send her a copy. Is not her voice INCREDIBLE? That's a Spirit with something to say, and the voice to say it with...osit.

To be honest, I could do without all the hopping testosterone in the background banging out the same eight cords over and over again...but a girl's gotta pay her bills, I get that. Apparently she just had a baby too. :)

I do like her voice and she can really scream when she wants to. The other guys in the band do seem a little awkward and out of place with her. :)
