Msic and Lyrics: Say What You Want

 

Photography: James Macari.

We have all come across that elusive point where passionate feelings end and rational reasoning begins.  The question is, where do we draw the line? . . .

Delerium - Daylight

Delerium - Daylight

If you can believe you're turning on a world that broke your mind

then i can do something for you even though you're lost in time

You won't have to be my heaven. i won't have to be your friend.

Daylight, daylight comes every time, it's coming

Daylight, daylight it goes away again now

Don't let go don't let go of your heart (x3)

(when you feel the time has come, everything you wanted)

(when you feel the time has come, in every different flavor)

Feel like your skin is burning one, too many many drops of rain

but it's doing nothing to me, drowning in a sea of pain

You won't have to be my heaven. i won't have to be your friend.

Daylight, daylight comes every time, it's coming

Daylight, daylight it goes away again now

Don't let go don't let go of your heart

Don't let go don't you know who you are

Don't let go don't let go of your heart (x2)

Music and Lyrics: Other Side of The World

KT Tunstall - Other Side of The World

Other Side of The World

By KT Tunstall

Over the sea and far away
She's waiting like an iceberg
Waiting to change
But she's cold inside
She wants to be like the water

All the muscles tighten in her face
Buries her soul in one embrace
They're one and the same
Just like water

[Chorus:]
And the fire fades away
Most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're the other side of the world to me

On comes the panic light
Holding on with fingers and feelings alike
But the time has come
To move along

[Chorus]

Can you help me?
Can you let me go
And can you still love me
When you can't see me anymore

[Chorus]

Music and Lyrics: It Means Nothing

Photographer: Mario Testiono

It Means Nothing

by The Stereophonics 

Did we lose ourselves again?
Did we take in what's been said?
Did we take the time to be,
All the things we said we'd be?

And we bury hopes in sand
And my future's in my hands

It means nothing
It means nothing

You can find yourself a God
Believe in which one you want
Cause they love you all the same
They just go by different names
Did you fly your flag today?
Are you proud or just ashamed?

It means nothing (x5)
If I haven't got you (x4)

The sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
And my brain around the train
And I hope that I'm with you
Cause I wouldn't know what to do

It means nothing (x5)
If I haven't got you (x4)

Sweeter and Sweeter

by Alex Parks

One touch intense as pain on my lips

You laid it bold

I am told of you

You show me

I want you

So take me

You make me sweat

My body weeps for you

Sweeter and sweeter

Trembling but still I stole my breath

And you

I fell with ease onto

Your floor you're there

Embrace me

Its like you knew

You make me sweat

My body weeps for you

Sweeter and sweeter

Trembling but still I stole my breath

And you

I listen hard

We beat the same

I realise the point of my life

I hold you so close

So close I won't let go

I don't want to

You make me sweat

My body weeps for you

Sweeter and sweeter

Trembling but still I stole my breath

And you

You make me sweat

My body weeps for you

Sweeter and sweeter

Trembling but still I stole my breath

And you

And you

And you

And you

Balligomingo - Wild Butterfly

Set your soul adrift 

Wild Butterfly

Let your spirit free 

Wild Butterfly

Moments come and fall to the ground

And slowly fade away

Lift it up

Lift it up up and fly

Lift it up

Lift it up up and fly

Set your course you’ll see 

Wild Butterfly

Towards the sun, to me 

Wild Butterfly

Why don’t you go

Fly so far away

I know what you want

I know what you’ll see

I know what you want

I know what you’ll see

Lift it up

Lift it up up and fly

Lift it up

Lift it up up and fly

Music and Lyrics: Loving Days

Romantic weekend, diving in the blue.

 Photographer: Maude Arsenault

Kylie Minogue - Loving Days

I'll dive deep
I have fallen all the way
Happily there's no escape
Surrender to your heart

Giving in to all of this
Fascinated by your kiss
I'm floating in your arms

Take your time
just unwind, Ooh
I wanna breathe you in
A little while to ease your mind
You're the world I'm living in

Precious time with you
Diving in the blue
We are riding on the waves
These are loving days
Loving days with you

Fantasy
feel it rushing over me
Nowhere else I want to be
My love is by my side
For a moment you and me
Holding on to ecstasy
Give us all day and night

Take your time
just unwind, Ooh
I wanna breathe you in
A little while to ease your mind
You're the world I'm living in

Precious time with you
Diving in the blue
We are riding on the waves
These are loving days
Loving days with you
 

(x2)

These are loving days with you

Precious time with you
Diving in the blue
We are riding on the waves
These are loving days
Loving days with you

(x2)

Coldplay - Beautiful World

Bones are sinking like stones
All that we fall for
Homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world

Bones sinking like stones
All that we fall for
homes places we've grown
All of us are done for

And we live in a beautiful world (yeah we do yeah we do)
We live in a beautiful world

Oh all that I know is nothing here to run from
Cause yeah everybody here's got somebody to lean on

Meiko - Walk By

Meiko - Walk By

You said everything's gonna be all right, gonna work out this time
And I'm sure daddy's in bed, thinking 'bout my life and how to make it right now

It's a long way home
It's a long way home

Chorus:
And it's too late for wanting
The best thing for me now
so walk by
And you can't keep saying the same thing to me now
so walk by

Take back the promises you made
And break free from all the things that you have left behind

Cause it's a long way home
It's a long way home

Chorus

Everything has a reason for it
Everyone has a story to tell
Everything has a reason for it
Everyone has a story, don't they?

It's a long way home (x2)

Chorus

It's a long way home (x3)

Music and Lyrics: Distractions

 Photographer: Tim Walker

Zero 7 - Distractions

Fancy a big house
Some kids and a horse
I can not quite, but nearly
Guarantee, a divorce
I think that I love you
I think that I do
So go on mister, make Miss me Mrs you.

I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth, from the truth.

Fancy a fast car
A bag full of loot
I can nearly guarantee
You'll end up with the boot

I love you, I love you, I love you , I do
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth, from the truth.

I love you, I love you, I love you , I do
I only make jokes to distract myself
From the truth, from the truth.

Music and Lyrics: The Moment

Vargo - The Moment

Vargo - The Moment

Now's the moment
to let go
of every burden
that weighs me down

Open my mind
releasing
all my worries
all my pain

Far away
I soar away
I float away
I fly away

I am weightless
boundless
being one with
all I am

I'm expanding
awareness
take a glance at
the mystery

Far away
I soar away
I float away
I fly away

Music and Lyrics: Somewhere Only We Know

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know

Keane - Somewhere Only We Know

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

Chorus:
Oh simple thing where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Chorus

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?

Chorus

And if you have a minute why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
So why don't we go

This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go
Somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

This could be the end of everything,
So why don't we go,
Somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know,
Somewhere only we know.

Music and Lyrics: Fade Into You

 Photographer: Amber Gray


Mazzy Star - Fade Into You

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life
You go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think its strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then it's smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you

I think it's strange you never knew (x2)

I think it's strange you never knew

Music and Lyrics: I Feel You

 Photographer: Emma Tempest


Schiller - I Feel You

I feel you

I feel you
In every stone
In every leaf of every tree
You've ever grown

I feel you
In everything
In every river that might flow
In every seed you might have sown

I feel you (x5)

I feel you
In every vain
In every beating of my heart
Each breath I take.

I feel you
Anyway
In every tear that I might shed
In every word I've never said
I feel you (x5)
In every vain
In every beating of my heart
In in every breath I ever take

I feel you
Anyway
In ever tear that I might shed
In every word I've never said
I feel you x5

I feel you

Music and Lyrics: Elsewhere

Photographer: Lachlan Bailey



Sarah McLachlan - Elsewhere

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
Distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in
 

Chorus:

I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I’ll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand

I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire...
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near...
I believe...

Chorus

Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can’t you see I’ve got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it’s right for me...
I believe...

Chorus

I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it
Would you try to understand...

Music and Lyrics: Set Free

 

Photographer: Dusan Reljin


Katie Gray - Set Free

De de nah...

There's a cold fire
there's a crossfire
and there's something
inside, inside

and we'll never, never make it
and we'll never, never break it

until, until...

There's a long game
that's a wrong chain
and it's something
we all hide it
inside

and we'll never, never make it
and we'll never, never break it
until we learn to see
until we set free

And you got style
and you got grace
and you got the means
to leave that place
but you'll never, never make it
and you'll never, never break it

until you learn to see
until you set free

so set free
set free

Set free
Set free

De de dum de de de
De de dum de de de

free, oh
set free

If we could see that all that we need
inside our minds
bodies and souls
we wouldn't run and we would let go
cause we'd realize
that we had
that we had no control

Depeche Mode - Freelove

If you've been hiding from love
If you've been hiding from love
I can understand where you're coming from
I can understand where you're coming from

If you've suffered enough
If you've suffered enough
I can understand what you're thinking of
I can see the pain that you're frightened of

Chorus:
And I'm only here
To bring you free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love

I've been running like you
I've been running like you
Now you understand why I'm running scared
Now you understand why I'm running scared

I've been searching for truth
I've been searching for truth
And I haven't been getting anywhere
No I haven't been getting anywhere

Chorus

Hey girl
You've got to take this moment
Then let it slip away
Let go of complicated feelings
Then there's no price to pay

We've been running from love
We've been running from love
And we don't know what we're doing here
No we don't know what we're doing here

We're only here
Sharing our free love
Let's make it clear
That this is free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
No hidden catch
No strings attached
Just free love
