soundtrack post ONE

[godslantern]

Full playlist, as curated to go with Neriel's first story.

Procession/The Story in Your Eyes - Moody Blues
listen to the tide slowly turning
wash all our heartaches away
we're part of the fire that is burning
and from the ashes we can build another day

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin
dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
and did you know
your stairway lies on the whispering wind

Remember (Christmas) - Harry Nilsson
dream, love is only in a dream
remember
remember, life is never as it seems

Never Been Any Reason - Head East
you never give me no answer
you never tell me the truth
there's never been any reason
for me to think about you
save my life, I'm goin' down for the last time

Doctor My Eyes - Jackson Browne
doctor, my eyes
they cannot see the sky
is this the prize
for having learned how not to cry?

Parallel Lines - Todd Rundgren
what would you tell me, if I could hear you speaking?
if you could touch me, how would I know the feeling?
I just can't imagine
but I try to do it anyway

Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts
hot ashes for trees
hot air for a cool breeze
cold comfort for change
did you exchange a walk-on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?

The Old Apartment - Barenaked Ladies
why did they pave the lawn?
why did they change the locks?
why did I have to break in?
I only came here to talk
but this is where we used to live

In the Beginning/Lovely To See You - Moody Blues
I'm more than that. I know I am.
At least, I think I must be.
there you go, man
keep as cool as you can
face piles of trials with smiles
it riles them to believe that you perceive the web they weave

Life in Technicolor - Coldplay
gravity release me
don't ever hold me down
now my feet won't touch the ground

Tightrope - Electric Light Orchestra
the change from night to day is really only hours
it's just along the line
can't you see the sign?
when I closed my eyes
I was so surprised
somebody had thrown me down a line
stopped me drowning

Counting Stars - OneRepublic
hope is our four-letter word
make that money, watch it burn
old, but I'm not that old
young, but I'm not that bold
and I don't think the world is sold
on just doing what we're told

Navigate - Barenaked Ladies
hold still
try to pretend that there's no reason we'd ever go back
it's home, and I will defend it
