hear ye, hear ye.

three, the playlist for March is now available for download.

i haven’t been able to upload the past few months, i know. shame on me.

so while i am working on improving this site, please enjoy this earcandy.

you may download the playlist by clicking on the links below. i had to split them into three as usual… i use divshare and it only allows me to upload 200mb at a time. i’m trying to figure out how to create torrents – any tutorial or help is much appreciated.

six8eight6 is off to the tropics for the holidays.

unfortunately, my internet access is shady
and i will therefore be on a break starting today.

see you again in the new year!

cheers.

one part sad and two parts brave
one part silent and one part says
to the stars!

one part black and two parts blue
one part wishes the best for you
one part changed and two parts fine
i’m telling you, i’m fine!

one part luster, two parts shy
heaven’s above, trouble behind
one part glory, two parts glow
shine on, shine well, you’re free to go!

to the stars, to the stars!
oh, we are lit within
by all we’ve been
and by all we care to be
to the stars, from the wars!
oh, we’ll wake up a little this morning
a little better than we were before
we were before

one part brilliant, two parts fade
stars apart, shine the same

erin mckeown • to the stars

pay my respects to grace and virtue
send my condolences to good
give my regards to soul and romance,
they always did the best they could
and so long to devotion
you taught me everything i know
wave goodbye
wish me well..
you’ve got to let me go

the killers • human

if your trials end, are really getting you down
we had a close call, i didn’t even see it,
then another one, i hardly believed it at all.
what the writers say, it means shit to me now.
plants and animals, we’re on a bender when it’s 80 degrees,
the end of december was coming on,
only for you and me.
when the showing up ends, going back to the south,
where hungry necks that i know, and runnin’
a blender in a lightning storm,
disguised as a blessing i’m sure.
knowing up here, there comes a fork in the road,
pants have gotta go, we’re on an island on
the fourth of july, looks like the tide is going home.
in time i’d find a little way to your heart,
down to the general store for nothing specific,
gonna wash my bones in the atlantic shore -
only for you and me

band of horses • the general specific

wake up, lift your head
hold it up to the sky
cross your fingers and your heart
then you pray for goodbye
everyone that you know is holding you down
no one here can believe
you’d ever leave this little town
i know
watching you
climb inside and believe
so long
we won’t look back
with the last plane out
yeah we’ll leave and we’ll never look back
goodbye to all your friends
all the messed up plans
and the hurt that never will end
i know it’s hard to try
close your eyes
don’t you cry
it’s your last goodbye
someday, we’re gonna find our way out
someday i know that you’ll never believe me
someday we’ll both look back and laugh
someday…

the mains • last goodbye

how long i’ll wait
just to say goodbye
you could never let me in
holding on until the end

the time i waste just to say goodbye
out of your way
i could do this right
can’t see you anymore
won’t feel you anymore

how long i’ll stay
just to say goodbye, say goodbye
