reality leaves a lot to the imagination

Noah and the Whale - Give a Little Love

Daphne Loves Derby - Cue the Sun!

If I find my way through the darkest of days
Will I laugh about the things that kept me awake
But if my greatest fear paints itself so crystal clear
Will I run away or will I hide

And if I don’t come home tonight,
Just know I tried my best to fight
Please don’t think I plan to lose to the night
And curse the moon so dull and bright
My heavy soul can’t stand the light
It burns me straight to the bones, my bones

In the desert sun I watched my nerves come undone
One by one my strings they tangled into knots
And ever since that day, deep in Santa Fe
I’ve learned to hate myself for giving everything away

One of my favourite songs. I love this.

Mat Kearney - Ships in the Night

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We’re just wasting time
Trying to prove who’s right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it’s just you and me trying to find the light

Brett Dennen - Ain’t No Reason

There ain’t no reason things are this way
It’s how they always been and they intend to stay
I can’t explain why we live this way
We do it every day

Preachers on the podium speaking of saints
Prophets on the sidewalk begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape
Cursing my name

I gotta a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away

People walk around pushing back their debts
Wearing paychecks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking about nothing, not thinking about death
Every little heartbeat, every little breath

People walk a tightrope on a razors edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb, or a bullet, or a pen
Or a thought, or a word, or a sentence

There ain’t no reason things are this way
Its how they’ve always been and they intend to stay
I don’t know why I say the things I say
But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes

Prison walls still standing tall
Some things never change at all
Keep on building prisons, gonna fill them all
Keep on building bombs, gonna drop them all

Working your fingers bare to the bone
Breaking’ your back, make you sell your soul
Like a lung, it’s filled with coal
Suffocating slow

The wind blows wild and I may move
But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don’t need no reason or a three piece suit
To argue the truth

The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Slavery stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love I try to follow

Love will come set me free
Love will come set me free, I do believe
Love will come set me free, I know it will
Love will come set me free, yes

There ain’t no reason things are this way
Its how they’ve always been and they intend to stay
I can’t explain why we live this way
We do it every day

Bell X1 - Eve, the Apple of My Eye

Now this applies both equally to you and I
The only thing we share is the same sky
These empty metaphors, they’re all in vain
Like can’t you see the grass is greener where it rains
