Talib Kweli:
Get By
The TV got us reachin for stars, not the ones between Venus and Mars, the ones that be readin for parts, so people get breast enhancements and penis enlargers, Saturday sinners Sunday morning at the feet of the Father
Tom Waits:
9th& Hennepin
No one brings anything small into a bar around here, they all started out with bad directions. And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear, "One for every year he's away", she said, such a crumbling beauty
Neil Young:
Speakin' Out
So tell me where the answer lies, is it in the notebook behind your eyes?
Daniel Johnston:
Living Life
Oh hope for the hopeless, because I'm learning to cope with the emotion-less mediocrity of.. day to day living. Oh, I can't help being restless when everything's so tasteless, and all the colors seem to have faded away.
Belle & Sebastian (Stuart Murdoch):
Piazza New York Catcher
I wish that you were here with me to pass the dull weekend, I know it wouldn't come to love, my heroine pretend. A lady stepping from the songs we love until this day, You'd settle for an epitaph like "Walk Away, Renee". The sun upon the roof in winter will draw you out like a flower, meet you at the statue in an hour.
Bright Eyes:
Four Winds
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space... It breaks
Arcade Fire (Win Butler):
Wake Up
We're just a million little gods causing rainstorms, turning every good thing to rust....I guess we'll just have to adjust
