Leslie Clio - Sister Sun Brother Moon (video and lyrics)

Walking
Same side
Wish I could hold on to what’s on my mind

Charlotte Gainsbourg - 5:55

A cinq heures cinquante-cinq
awake with open eyes
a drift upon the night
and miles away from land

Falling Slowly (Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova)

I don't know you
But I want you
All the more for that
Words fall through me
And always fool me

Amy Stroup - Hold Onto Hope Love

Hold onto hope, love
I searched high and low for you
For you
Each day gets closer
So hold on stronger to me
And you

I was made to love magic (Nick Drake, video and lyrics)

U2/Brian Eno, Your Blue Room (lyrics / video)

It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room

Dead Can Dance - Circumradiant Dawn

Riverman (Nick Drake) lyrics video

Betty came by on her way
Said she had a word to say
About things today
And fallen leaves.

El que se tenga por grande (flamenco, scene from "The Limits of Control", review)

Perhaps the song below (second video from the actual movie) is the only thing of interest in the movie The Limits of Control. Ok, some quotes from the moronic scenario are good too (one, aptly characterized the entire movie: "Sometimes I like it in films when people just sit there, not saying anything.").

Don McLean - Till Tomorrow (lyrics and video clip)

What can this be - can you tell me
Would you like to discover
Why we're not free - to be lovers
I've been wanting to ask you

Lucio Dalla, Piazza Grande (lyrics, video clip)

>

Santi che pagano il mio pranzo non ce n'è
sulle panchine in Piazza Grande,
ma quando ho fame di mercanti come me qui non ce n'è.

It's heaven when you find romance on your menu

Jamie Cullum, What a difference a day made (lyrics and video clip



What a difference a day made,
twenty four little hours
Brought the sun and the flowers
where there use to be rain

Aργά, η αγάπη, τρυπώνει λαβώνει σαν σπαθί... (Σαβίνα Γιαννάτου, Νίκος Κυπουργός)

Aργά, η αγάπη
τρυπώνει λαβώνει σαν σπαθί
γοργά κυλάει στο βλέμμα στο αίμα στο φιλί

Tι κι αν σε κάστρο απάτητο ο άνθρωπος το νου διπλά κλειδώνει
με βήμα αλαφροπάτητο η αγάπη του, σαν άνοιξη ζυγώνει

Aργά, η αγάπη
τρυπώνει λαβώνει σαν σπαθί
γοργά κυλάει στο βλέμμα στο αίμα στο φιλί

Tι κι αν φορείς πουκάμισο
που ως το λαιμό, που ως το λαιμό κουμπώνει
απ' τα κουμπάκια ανάμεσα
ο έρωτας, ο έρωτας τρυπώνει..

Ravel: Piano concerto G major - 2nd movement Adagio assai

From minute 4 onwards the melody unfolds in a most beautiful way and the cadenzas at minute 5 are sheer magic.

Madeleine Peyroux - Instead (lyrics and video clip)

Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low
Get high on everything you love
Instead of wastin' time
Feel good 'bout what you are dreaming of

Instead of trying to win something you never understood
Just play the game you know eventually you will you both look good

It's silly to pretend to have something you don't own
Just let her be a woman and you'll be her man

Instead of feelin' broke
Buck up and get yourself in the black
Instead of losing hope
Touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of being old
Be young because you know you are
Instead of feeling cold
Let sunshine into your heart

Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
It's up to you to let her love you sweetly

Instead of acting crazy chasing things that make you mad
Just keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer to the place you need to be
But it's up to you to let her love you sweetly

Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got someone to love
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy there's a god above
Instead of feeling 'lone
Remember you are never on your own
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy that she's there at home
She's waitin' for by the phone
So be glad she all your own

Get happy...
Watin' for you by the telephone...

Don't get...

Pink Floyd - Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (lyrics and video clip)

Little by little the night turns around
Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
Novices lean on each other in yearning
Under the leaves the swallow is resting
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
Over the mountain watching the watcher
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine
One inch of love is one inch of shadow
Love is the shadow that ripen's the wine
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his question to heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving
Set the controls for the heart of the sun
The heart of the sun
The heart of the sun

This Mortal Coil, Another day (lyrics and video clip)

The kettles on, the sun has gone, another day
She offers me, tibetan tea, on a flower tray
Shes at the door, shes wants to score, she really needs to say:
i once loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow, you know
But I couldnt let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know
But I wish that I had, cause it makes me so sad
That I never had one of your children.
Across the room, inside a tomb, a chance is waxed and waned
The night is young, why are we so hung-up, in each others chains
I must take her, I must make her, while the dove domains
See the juice run as she flies
Run my wings under her sighs
As the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn
Oh really my dear, I cant see what we fear
With ourselves, sat here between us
And at the door, we cant say more, than just another day
Without a sound, I turn around, and I walk away

Μάνος Χατζιδάκις, Λιανοτράγουδα, «Αν μ' αγαπάς κι είν' όνειρο, ποτέ να μην ξυπνήσω»

Απ' όλα τ' άστρα τ' ουρανού ένα είναι που σου μοιάζει
/ ap' ola t' astra t' ouranou, ena ine pou sou miazi
from all the stars in heaven, there's only one resembling you
Ένα που βγαίνει το πουρνό όταν γλυκοχαράζει
/ ena pou vyeni to pourno otan glikoharazi
one that rises in the morning, when the day is sweetly breaking

Κυπαρισσάκι μου ψηλό, ποιά βρύση σε ποτίζει
/ kyparissaki mou psilo, pia vrisi se potizi
little cypress-tree of mine (and) tall, which "spring" is "nourishing" you
Пου στέκεις πάντα δροσερό, κι ανθείς και λουλουδίζεις
/ pou stekis panta drosero, ki anthis ke louloudizis
that you are standing (there) always bracing, and you bloom and blossom

Να'χα το σύννεφ' άλογο και τ' άστρι χαλινάρι
/ na 'ha to sinnef' alogo ke t' astri halinari
(if only) I had the cloud as the horse and the star as the rein
Тο φεγγαράκι της αυγής να 'ρχόμουν κάθε βράδυ
/ to feggaraki tis avyis, na 'rhomoun kathe vradi
the little moon of dawn, to come over every night

Της θάλασσας τα κύματα τρέχω και δεν τρομάζω
/ tis thalassas ta kimata, treho ke den tromazo
the waves of the sea, I run and I fear not
Kι όταν σε συλλογίζομαι, τρέμω κι αναστενάζω
/ ki otan se silloyizome, tremo ke anastenazo
and when I "reflect" on you, I shiver and sigh

Τί να σου πω; Τί να μου πεις; Εσύ καλά γνωρίζεις
/ ti na sou po? ti na mou pis? esi kala gnorizis
what (could) I say to you? what (could) you say to me? you very well know
Kαι την ψυχή και την καρδιά εσύ μου την ορίζεις
/ ke ti psihi ke tin kardia, esi mou tin orizis
"both" the soul and the heart, you regulate for me

Εγώ είμ' εκείνο το πουλί που στη φωτιά σιμώνω
/ ego im' ekino to pouli pou sti fotia simono
I am that bird that to the fire I get near
Kαίγομαι στάχτη γίνουμαι και πάλι ξανανιώνω
/ kegome, stahti yinome ke pali xananiono
I burn, to cinders (I burn) and again I rejuvenate

Σαν είν' η αγάπη μπίστικη, παλιώνει, μηδέ λιώνει
/ san in' i agapi mpistiki, palioni, mide lioni
and when love is constant, it wears out (grows old), but never dissipates
Aνθεί και δένει στην καρδιά και ξανακαινουργώνει
/ anthi ke deni stin kardia ke xanakenouryoni
it blossoms and binds within the heart and rekindles

Χωρίς αέρα το πουλί, χωρίς νερό το ψάρι
/ horis aera to pouli, horis nero to psari
devoid of air the bird, devoid of water the fish
Xωρίς αγάπη δε βαστούν κόρη και παλικάρι
/ horis agapi de vastoun, kori ke palikari
devoid of love they won't last, (both) girl (young maiden) and lad (young man)
