"Afterthoughts" by Sleepthief

In my opinion an intriguing and entrancing song with its haunting lyrics, vocals and arrangement. I can't help but think that the lyrics are describing an impending cometary bombardment, the "something's coming but I can't see" which is "desperately spiralling down, down, down", not to mention "terrified as terror does it finds me" and "sifting through the rubble". Then again, there's probably a completely different interpretation to this song which I've missed.

Something's coming but I can't see
Something's coming but I can't see
But I can't see

Drifting through sun-streaked days
And wispy nights
Of afterthoughts and fireflies
Careful now
There's no one around

Something's coming but I can't see
Something's coming but I can't see
But I can't see

Shifty-eyed and sifting through the rubble
Who would think a mind could be so muddled?
Terrified as terror does it finds me
It finds me

Desperately, spiraling...
Down
Down

Something's coming but I can't see
Something's coming but I can't see
But I can't see

Foreigner "I Want To Know What Love Is" (music video with clips from Final Fantasy X :))

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Aaaah woah-ah-aah

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
Aaaah woah-oh-ooh

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me, oooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh oooh
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me
I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is
And I know, I know you can show me

Let's talk about love
(I wanna know what love is) the love that you feel inside
(I want you to show me) I'm feeling so much love
(I wanna feel what love is) no, you just cannot hide
(I know you can show me) yeah, woah-oh-ooh
I wanna know what love is, let's talk about love
(I want you to show me) I wanna feel it too
(I wanna feel what love is) I wanna feel it too
And I know, and I know, I know you can show me
Show me what is real, woah (woah), yeah I know
(I wanna know what love is) hey I wanna know what love
(I want you to show me), I wanna know, I wanna know, want know
(I wanna feel what love is), hey I wanna feel, love
I know you can show me, yeah

I really like stuff like this, in my old age. Very chill, and the lyrics are pretty cool.

AWOLNATION "Jump On My Shoulders"- Lyric Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEzubO8dKdA

"Jump On My Shoulders"

There's a mad man looking at you
and he wants to take your soul.
There's a mad man with a mad plan
and he's dancing at your door. Oh
What to do, oooh
what to do
when the walls are built to crumble.
There's a mad man with a mad plan
and he waits for us to stumble.

Oooh, but our eyes are open
yeah, they're really open
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
I say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders.
We rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

Everybody it's ok if
you're mad at what I'm saying.
Make peace, baby shake my hand cuz
I'm pretty sure I'm staying. Oh
what to do, ooooh
look at you, when the walls begin
to crumble.
It's a mad man with a mad plan
and he waits for us to stumble.

Oooh, but our eyes are open
yeah, they're really open
(5, 4, 3, 2, 1)
I say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders.
We rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders.

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la

I'll say the devils lost control

Live in the water
I'm scared of the city
Stay in the water
I'm scared of the city
Live in the water
I'm scared of the city.

I'm scared of the city
live in the water
I'm scared of the city
I'll pray for you

I say we rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders.
We rob from the rich
and blow down the door.
On to the next
to dance with the poor.
Jump on my shoulders.
You can jump on my shoulders.

Seriously...It's not supposed to be easy...
that's why it feels so f*cking good.
Jump on my shoulders, yeah.
 
Nocturne by secret garden is just beautiful, when you listen to it it's like you're taken away to a peaceful foreign place.

Kiss from a rose by Seal

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and
The light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
The stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
I've been kissed by a rose
I've been kissed by a rose on the gray,
...And if I should fall along the way
I've been kissed by a rose
...been kissed by a rose on the gray.
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby.
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray.
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.
Yes I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray
Ooh, the more I get of you
The stranger it feels, yeah
And now that your rose is in bloom
A light hits the gloom on the gray
Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray.

If I feel better by Phoenix
It's a sad song, but I remember the first time I heard, I felt the lyrics corresponded completelly to how I felt, it's still does to some extent. By the way, it's a french band.
Lyrics
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
It's like a bad day that never ends
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There are things in my life that I can't control
They say love ain't nothing but a sore
I don't even know what love is
Too many tears have had to fall
Don't you know I'm so tired of it all
I have known terror dizzy spells
Finding out the secrets words won't tell
Whatever it is it can't be named
There's a part of my world that' s fading away
You know I don't want to be clever
To be brilliant or superior
True like ice, true like fire
Now I know that a breeze can blow me away
Now I know there's much more dignity
In defeat than in the brightest victory
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
Hang on to the good days
I can lean on my friends
They help me going through hard times
But I'm feeding the enemy
I'm in league with the foe
Blame me for what's happening
I can't try, I can't try, I can't try...
No one knows the hard times I went through
If happiness came I miss the call
The stormy days ain't over
I've tried and lost know I think that I pay the cost
Now I've watched all my castles fall
They were made of dust, after al
lSomeday all this mess will make me laugh
I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
It's like somebody took my place
I ain't even playing my own game
The rules have changed well I didn't know
There are things in my life I can't control
I feel the chaos around me
A thing I don't try to deny
I'd better learn to accept that
There's a part of my life that will go away
Dark is the night, cold is the ground
In the circular solitude of my heart
As one who strives a hill to climb
I am sure I'll come through I don't know how
They say an end can be a start
Feels like I've been buried yet I'm still alive
I'm losing my balance on the tight rope
Tell me please, tell me please, tell me please...
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
If I ever feel better
Remind me to spend some good time with you
You can give me your number
When it's all over I'll let you know
