THE NIGHT HAS A THOUSAND EYES ; a selection of soundtracks for k. s.
organized chronologically (within) & thematically (in general)
for v.f.d. —
library magic - the head and the heart can’t stay healthy in the cloud of eyes / listening to my every move, just trying to survive / self-imposed adventure that selfishness drives / i can barely keep my head above the blue, trying to keep it off me and you... the easier to begin and hard to end / i’m just glad to go through it all with you as friends
any way the wind blows - anais mitchell no use use talking of a past that's past / set out walking and we don't look back / where we're going there ain't no one knows
youth - daughter and if you’re still bleeding, you’re the lucky ones / ‘cause most of our feelings, they are dead and they are gone
earth - sleeping at last i dig ‘til my shovel tells a secret, swear to the earth that i will keep it / brush off the dirt, and let my change of heart occur... meanwhile, my family’s taking shelter / the sparks send the fire down the wire / a countdown begins until the dynamite gives in / the echo, as wide as the equator / travels through a world of built-up anger - too late to pull itself together now
the stranger at my door - brandi carlile we exorcise the demons of the things we used to know / the gnashing of their teeth becomes the remnants of our homes / we think we’re moving on from materials we long / to forget we ever sold our souls to own... but nothing scares me more / than the stranger at my door who i failed / to give shelter, time, and worth
everybody knows - sigrid everybody knows that it’s coming apart / take one last look at this sacred heart before it blows
closing in - ruelle i used to see in color; now it’s just a wave of gray / i feel it pull me under, drowning in the disarray
for dewey —
all i’ve ever known - original cast of hadestown all i’ve ever known is how to hold my own / but now i wanna hold you too / you take me in your arms, and suddenly there’s sunlight all around me / everything bright and warm and shining like it never did before / and for a moment i forget / just how dark and cold it gets
salvation - gabrielle aplin you are the avalanche one world away / my make-believing while i’m wide awake / just a trick of light to bring me back around again... i never meant to fall for you, but i was buried underneath / and all that i could see was white
chasing cars - the wind and the wave i don’t quite know how to say how i feel / those three words are said too much, they’re not enough... forget what we’re told / before we get too old / show me a garden that’s bursting into life
flood - the goo goo dolls (ft. sydney sierota) i wanna see what you see in me and never let you down... i had a dream you were next to me, i woke up calling your name / can you still feel my love? / i wanna be something you can touch; you’re moving fast, but i’m catching up / no, don’t slow down, my love
21 days - scott helman if a cardboard castle is all we have love, we could make it sweet / i wanna live with you in a cardboard castle / i know it won’t last but neither will we
this love - taylor swift clear blue water, hide tide came and brought you in... skies grew darker, currents swept you out again / and you were just gone and gone, gone and gone... been losing grip on sinking ships, you showed up just in time
running after you - matthew mole we’ll come back home, we’ll come back home someday / but right now we are called to see a place / where you and i will change the world we know / anywhere that i’m with you is home
for beatrice —
light - sleeping at last may these words be the first to find your ears / the world is brighter than the sun now that you’re here... i’ll give you everything i have, i’ll teach you everything i know... i will soften every edge, i’ll the hold the world to its best / and i’ll do better / with every heartbeat i have left i will defend your every breath
look after you - aron wright when you get knocked down and you’ve had enough / oh, i’ll be there to dust you off / when you don’t know what you’re gonna do / i will look after you
you were born - cloud cult oh my precious, oh my love / when they come to take me i will hold you from above / i don’t know why we’re here, and i don’t know how / but i’m here with you now, i am here with you now
it’s quiet uptown - kelly clarkson there are moments that the words don’t reach / there is suffering too terrible to name / you hold your child as tight as you can, then push away the unimaginable
when i’m with you - jj heller when i see you and you’re smiling, how my heart aches / so full it is about to break... i could never count all the ways that you change me, baby
forest fire - brighton oh, i hope you know / that you’re my home / but now i’m lost, so lost... i keep imagining those flames that did rise and blackened up the sky
safe inside - james arthur ‘cause i worry about you the whole night / don’t repeat my mistakes / i won’t sleep until you’re safe inside... is it time to let go now you’re older
for n.y.c. —
where do we go from here? - ruelle there’s no place to call our own, like a drifting haze we roam / where do we go from here? where do we go from here?
leave the light on - overcoats i may break down if i let you look at me / now you see me, now you don’t / going, going fast as i can... what if i don’t make it home? / you’re not there, and the light’s not on
i’ll be good - jaymes young for all the innocent things that i doubt / for all the bruises i’ve caused, and the tears / for all the things i’ve done all these years / for all the sparks that i stomped out / for all the perfect things i doubt / i’ll be good, i’ll be good / and i’ll love the world like i should
high hopes - kodaline when it all comes to an end, but the world keeps spinning around / and in my dreams i meet the ghosts of all the people who’ve come and gone / memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon / naïve, i was just staring at the barrel of a gun
in our bedroom after the war - stars listen, the birds sing / listen, the bells ring / all the living are dead, and the dead are living / the war is over and we are beginning... we won, or we think we did / when you went away, you were just a kid / and if you lost it all, and you lost it / well, we’ll still be there when your war is over
resolution - matt corby you said don’t lie so i made the truth / seemed like a lie to even you / control your fear, it’s clear / that you do not know where you’re going to... turn around, put it down and see / that this is really the place to be / i’m not you, nor you me / but we’re both moving steady
we don’t eat - james vincent mcmorrow there’s nothing to mention, and nothing has changed / still, i’d rather be working at something than praying for the rain / so i wander on until someone else is saved... have i been good to you at all? oh, i’m so tired of playing these games / we’d just be running down the same old lines, the same old stories / of breathless trains and worn-down glories / houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
for o. —
meadows - wild child low tide but rising fast, we’ll all die so nothing lasts / all i know is that you make me laugh babe / so i’ll go down with you
the night we met - lord huron take me back to the night we met / and then i can tell myself what the hell i’m supposed to do / and then i can tell myself not to ride along with you / i had all and then most of you, some and now none of you... i don’t know what i’m supposed to do / haunted by the ghost of you
say something - alex & sierra it was over my head; i know nothing at all / i will stumble and fall / i’m still learning to love, just starting to crawl / say something, i’m giving up on you / i’m sorry that i couldn’t get to you
silhouettes - of monsters and men it’s hard letting go / i’m finally at peace, but it feels wrong... there’s nothing that i’d take back / but it’s hard to say there’s nothing i regret
no fight left - jj heller there is no fight left on the inside / but maybe that’s where i should be / i’ve given up trying, i’m giving it all to you
thistle & weeds - mumford & sons i begged you to hear me, there’s more than flesh and bones / let the dead bury their dead, they will come out in droves / but take the spade from my hands and fill in the holes you’ve made... plant your hope with good seeds, don’t cover yourself with thistle and weeds
you’re somebody else - flora cash well, you look like yourself but you’re somebody else / only it ain’t on the surface / well, you talk like yourself - no, i hear someone else, though / now you’re making me nervous
