After listening 2 a year’s worth of music, what is yalls fave/most meaningful lyric?
2K9: a ’sampled’ lyrical poem by Carles
There isn’t much that I feel I need
A solid soul and the blood I bleed
But with a little girl, and by my spouse,
I only want a proper house
cuz I gotta feeling
that 2nite’s gonna be a good nite…
I’d like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly
Are u… also…frightened?
The sun was high…
and so was I…
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
(shoulda taken acid with u)
(take our clothes off in the swimming pool)
(wish I had a pizza and a bottle of wine)
::feel it all around:::
after all that we’ve been through
i know we’ll make it after the wait
the question is a truth
there is nothing we can’t do
i’ll see you along the way baby
the stillness is the move
I could use some body
Told u I would stay….
Just dance, it’ll be okay…..
Chillin with my brother sport
We’ll die alone 2gether
Cause I’d get a thousand hugs
From ten thousand lightening bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance.
A foxtrot above my head,
A sock-hop beneath my bed,
The disco ball is just hanging by a thread.
Ya…. ur sex is on fire….
(like social status)
Don’t mean 2 seem like I care abt material things
Lisztomania
Think less but see it grow
Like a riot, like a riot, Oh!
I’m not easily offended
It’s not hard to let it go
From a mess to the masses
(like social status)
U know that I could use somebody
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It’s hard to say that I’d
Rather stay awake when I’m asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)
Basic space
Openin’
Don’t look away
When there’s nothin’
There
Feel it all around
Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten
I’m setting us in stone
Piece by piece before I’m alone
Airtight before we break
Keep it in
Keep us safe
I could nvr belong 2 u
Just a deadbeat summer
Sleepy head…. Sleepy head….
In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
Theres nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
The lights will inspire you,
Lets here it for New York, New York, New York
While yall are waiting for the others
:::the piano jingle to ‘Two Weeks’::::::
Go slow
Go slow
Go slow
Oh shelia…
Here comes a feeling you thought you’d forgotten….
Meet me at the Equinox
I’m s0000 b0000red
Chillin on some Horchata
I told u ur dreams would come true….
(a deadbeat summer taking acid with u on adobe slats)
I’d like to make myself believe
That planet Earth turns slowly.
It’s hard to say that I’d
Rather stay awake when I’m asleep,
Cause everything is never as it seems.
(When I fall asleep.)
I told u ur dreams would come true….
I just want
Four walls and adobe slats
For my girls
(u know that I could use somebody)
(some1 like u)
(whoa oh oh… whoa oh oh….)
What is the most meaningful lyric of 2k9?
Which lyric will we sing for the next 40 years and think ‘that was back from 2k9… back when everything was pure and authentic’?
Is ‘the end of the year’ the most meaningful time cuz u get to reflect on ’shit that went down’ throughout the year?

Is everything alright?
You feeling moany?
You feeling lonely?
You’re not the only
Is everything alright?
You feeling stormy?
You feeling phoney?
You’re not the only
Do you get up up up?
Clouds stop and move above me
Too bad they can’t help me
What is the right way?
Do I float up up up?
When I stop and look around me
Grey is where th…e color should be
What is the right way?
Old glasses clinking and a
New order’s blinking
and I -
I should be floating but I’m weighted by thinking

totes un-ironically I think the lyrics to The Bon Ivers’ “Blood Bank” are really lovely.
Well I met you at the blood bank
We were looking at the bags
Wondering if any of the colors
Matched any of the names we knew on the tags
You said see look it that’s yours
Stacked on top with your brothers
See how they resemble one anothers?
Even in their plastic little covers
And I said I know it well
That secret that you know
That you don’t know how to tell
it fucks with your honor
And it teases your head
But you know that its good girl
Cause its running you with red.
Then the snow started falling
We were stuck out in your car
You were rubbing both my hands
Chewing on a candy bar
you said ain’t this just like the present
To be showing up like this
There’s a moon waning crescent
we started to kiss
And I said I know it well
That secret that we know
That we don’t know how to tell
I’m in love with your honor
I’m in love with your cheeks
what’s that noise up the stairs baby
Is that Christmas morning
And I know it well (8x)

I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?
Two lovers entwined pass me by
And heaven knows I’m miserable now
I was looking for a job, and then I found a job
And heaven knows I’m miserable now
In my life
Oh, why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?
What she asked of me at the end of the day
Caligula would have blushed
“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
And I (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do I smile
At people who I’d much rather kick in the eye ?
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour
But heaven knows I’m miserable now
“You’ve been in the house too long” she said
And I (naturally) fled
In my life
Why do I give valuable time
To people who don’t care if I live or die ?

You found a sweater on the ocean floor

You and the smile sit outside the side-
In a house on a street they wouldn’t park on the night.
Dad was a risk taker.
His was a shoe maker.
You greatest hits 2006…and a list maker.
Caught in the melody
You eat it, or
You were born with ten fingers and-
You’re going to use them all.
