JESCA HOOP: CITY BIRD.

The last work of JESCA HOOP is an Ep entitled "Snowglobe". We can find on it a song called CITY BIRD, and once again, she moves me. I Think that Jesca is the most disturbing singer songwriter of recent years. Hope you like.

LYRICS

City Bird, city bird

Fly away from my window, my window

'cause you don't sing

Like the birds from home sing

Your song is dying

I see the table

For The Ghost in my home, my home

And pour the wine, and raise a glass

For the guests in my home

They're entering

In their skin and in their bones, still in their bones

The vision scares, but none compares

To the dread of drinking alone

After the tower's turned to a tomb

The underworld refugees all were refused by the banker

They could never go in

So I let them in, oh...

City Bird, city bird

Fly away from my window, my window

'cause you don't sing

Like the birds from home sing

Your song is dying

I light the candle

For The Ghost in my home, my home

And say a prayer to please send care

For the guests in my home

But in their sleep

They Crawl and scream the devil home (The devil's come home)

But that nightmare

Does not compare to the demons in sleeping alone

After the tower's turned to a tomb

The underworld refugees all were refused by the banker

And with nowhere to go

They wash up on Skid Row, oh...

City Bird, city bird

Fly away from my window, my window

'cause you don't sing

Like the birds from home sing

Your song is dying

INGRID MICHAELSON: GHOST.

GHOST is the new single from "Human Again" the last album from INGRID MICHAELSON on sale in January 2012. Perhaps it's time to recognize Michaelson as one of the best singers and songwriters of her generation. Hope you like.

LYRICS

do you remember the walls fell

do you remember the sound that the door made

when you closed it at me

do you know that i went down to the ground

and landed on both my broken hearted knees

i didn’t even cry

cause pieces of me had already died

i’m a ghost, haunting these halls

climbing the walls that i never knew were there

and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart

i’m broken down the middle of my hard heart

you know you make me a ghost

i’m an invisible disaster

i keep trying to walk on my feet

don’t find the sound, the ground

it’s like living in a black dream

i keep trying to scream

but my tongue has finally lost its soul

tried to say goodbye

to the pieces of me that have already died

i’m a ghost, haunting these halls

climbing the walls that i never knew were there

and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart

i’m broken down the middle of my hard heart

you know you make me a ghost

oh you make me ghost

you make me a ghost

you make me a ghost

i don’t cry, i don’t try anymore

and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart

i’m broken down the middle

i’m a ghost, haunting these halls

climbing the walls that i never knew were there

and i’m lost, broken down the middle of my hard heart

i’m broken down the middle of my hard heart

you know you make me a ghost

ALBUM VERSION

LYRICS

If you'd only let me,

I could show you how to love.

Take our time,

let it all go.

If you'd only let me,

show you how to cry.

In your darkest hour,

I will lead you through the fire.

You won't let me,

You won't let me,

I don't wanna say goodbye,

I just wanna give it one more try.

And I'd do anything,

Yes, I'd do anything.

If you'd only let me.

With your hand in mine,

I would show you how to laugh.

Nothing heavy, nothing serious.

Just forget about all that.

You've been stepping back,

I wanna be your friend.

Tear down the walls that surround you,

Build you back up again.

But, you won't let me.

You won't let me.

I don't wanna say goodbye.

I just wanna give it one more try.

And I'd do anything,

Yes, I'd do anything.

So, tonight, stay with me.

I know I can change your mind.

But you won't let me..

You won't let me…

I don't wanna say goodbye.

I just wanna give it one more try,

But you won't let me.

You won't let me.

I don't wanna say goodbye,

I just want to give it one more try.

But you won't let me.

But you won't let me.

And I'd do anything for you..

I'd do anything for you,

But you won't let me..

You won't let me…

You won't let me.

LISA HANNIGAN: LITTLE BIRD

One of the more interesting artists of the last years is LISA HANNIGAN. Recently she has published "Passenger" Her second album. We can find on it gems like this LITTLE BIRD a precious song with an unusual clip. Hope You like.

LYRICS

Your heart sings like a kettle

And your words, they boil away like steam.

And a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,

A heart is built for both it seems.

You are lonely as a church,

Despite the queuing out your door.

I am empty as a promise, no more.

When the time comes,

And rights have been read,

I think of you often

But for once I meant what I said.

I was salted by your hunger,

Now you've gone and lost your appetite

And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.

I am lonely as a memory

Despite the gathering round the fire.

Aren't you every bird on every wire?

When the time comes,

And rights have been read,

I think of you often

But for once I meant what I said.

Here I stay, I lay me down,

I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

Here I stay, I lay me down,

In a house by the Hill.

I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

I'm dug from the rubble, and cut from the kill.

MADELEINE PEYROUX

THE CIVIL WARS

LEONARD COHEN

LYRICS

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in

Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone

Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon

Show me slowly what I only know the limits of

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, dance me on and on

Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long

We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born

Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn

Raise a tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin

Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in

Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the end of love

THE BE GOOD TANYAS: A THOUSAND TINY PIECES.

In case of fire probably the first thing I will save are my three albums from THE BE GOOD TANYAS. Today I wanted to remember one of my favorites songs original from SEAN HAYES entitled A THOUSAND TINY PIECES. Hope you like.

In a Live Performance:

The original Version by SEAN HAYES

LYRICS

Let’s play this one out, until it explodes

Into a thousand tiny pieces

What’s the story universe

You are melody in numbers

You were shapes you were rhythms

There are signs that we can learn

Place over the heavens

To predict how long we’ll burn

How long will I last?

Can you turn up the heat?

What star am I circling?

What’s circling me?

Am I ebb, am I flow?

My lack of control

Turn it on, turn it up

Say yes, play no

Things keep changing

Things keep changing

Things keep changing

PAULA COLE: MUSIC IN ME.

Last Year, my adored PAULA COLE returned with "Ithaca" her fifth album. Today I want to remember MUSIC IN ME one of the best songs of this album that remind us the essence from her firsts albums. Hope you like.

LYRICS

The echo of shame, the voice inside my head,

The need for love, the insecurity.

Cutting me down, to the fourteen year old girl,

The Father Figure criticizing me.

Go on – through the darkest night,

Cause I know inside the answer’s here in me.

There’s blood on my soul, for speaking out my pain,

Perpetuating hurt in family.

My mother in me – I cannot explain,

My need for love from her will never wane.

Go on – through the darkest night,

Cause I know inside the answer’s here in me.

Go on – the shadowboxing fight

Disappears when all the music’s here in me.

Like an oracle the music’s here in me.

And I thank you God for music here in me.

Go on – through the darkest night,

Cause I know inside the answer’s here in me

Go on – the shadowboxing fight

And I’ll heal with understanding,

And I’ll deal with patient loving,

And I’ll make it cause the music’s here in me.
