Whispers in the grass
Under slow dancing trees
Birds are telling me stories
Saying you were meant for me

With their bittersweet melodies
Like a sweet memory

(Feist – Bittersweet Melodies)

Ten decisions shape your life
You’ll be aware of five about

Sit me down, shut me up
I’ll calm down

(The Strokes – I’ll try anything once)

I know that things can really get rough
When You go it alone
Don’t go thinking you gotta be tough
And play like a stone
Could be there’s nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little home

My life in an upturned boat
Marooned on a cliff
You brought me a great big flood
And you gave me a lift
Girl what a gift

(The Shins – Simple Song)

Stand beside it, we can’t hide the way it makes us glow
It’s no good unless it grows, feel this burning, love of mine
Deep inside the ever-spinning, tell me does it feel
It’s no good unless it’s real, hill sides burning
Wild-eyed turning til we’re running from it

I’d take care of you if you’d ask me to
In a year or two

(Beach House – Take Care)

It’s a sad song that makes a man put
Money before life
A sad song that puts a man for sale
A sad song that makes a man put
Money before life

And I said the mountain won’t go falling
If your still willing to climb
But when the mountain goes falling
True riches you will find

(Wu Lyf – We Bros)

Let the poets cry themselves to sleep
And all their tearful words could turn back into steam
But me, I am a single cell on a serpent’s tongue
And there is a muddy field where a garden was

And I never thought this life was possible
You are the yellow bird that I have been waiting for
The end of paralysis, I was a statuette

(Bright Eyes – Poison Oak)

I’m not walking away
I’m just hearing what you’re saying
For the first time
Sounds like hallelujah for the first time
For the first time

(The Head And The Heart – Sounds Like Hallelujah)

A cocktail napkin epitaph
Some psychobabel telegram
Message written in the sand

The tide rolls in
Swear you’ll do the opposite
Of all those tangled hypocrites

Who say that the experiment has failed
Don’t go there!

(Bright Eyes – Beginner’s Mind)

Eyeless in the morning sun you were
Pale and mild
A modern girl

Taken with thought still prone to care
Making tea
In your underwear

You went out in the yard to find
Something to eat
And clear your mind

And something bad inside me went away

(The Shins – Those To Come)

Don’t blame it on the signals
Don’t blame it on the logbooks

Cause i know they stray
Like all the cars in new york

Like all the lights on new year
Like all these gloomy planets

You know they stay
Anyway.

(The Notwist – Gloomy Planets)
