“Empire State of Mind (Part II)” - Alicia Keys
“Crawl”- Chris Brown

“Everybody sees it’s you, I’m the one that lost the view
Everybody says we’re through, I hope you havn’t said it too
So where do we go from here, With all this fear in our eyes
And where can love take us now, And we’ve been so far down
We can still touch the sky
If we crawl, ’till we can walk again
And we’ll run, Until we’re strong enough to jump
And we’ll fly, Until there is no end
So let’s crawl…crawl….crawl
Back to love
Why did I change the pace, Hearts were never meant to race
Always felt the need for space, And now I can’t reach your face
So where are you standing now, Are you in the crowd of my voice
Love can’t you see my hand, Lend me one more chance
We can still have it all
So we’ll crawl, ‘till we can walk around
And we’ll run, Until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly, Until there is no end
So let’s crawl….crawl….crawl
Back to love
Everybody sees it’s you, Well I never wanna lose that view
So we’ll crawl, ‘till we can walk again
Then we’ll run, Until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly, Until there is no end
So let’s crawl….crawl…crawl
So we’ll crawl, ‘till we can walk again
Then we’ll run, Until we’re strong enough to jump
Then we’ll fly, Until there is no end
So let’s crawl….crawl…crawl
Back to love….”
“Edge of Desire”- John Mayer, Battle Studies
“Young and full of running
Tell me where’s that taking me?
Just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity
Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me
For all of my trying
You still end up dying
How can it be?
Don’t say a word, just come over and lie here with me
‘Cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me
So young and full of running, all the way to the edge of desire
Steady my breathing, silently screaming,
“I have to have you now”
Wired and I’m tired
Think I’ll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours
Don’t say a word just come over and lie here with me
‘Cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me
Don’t say a word just come over and lie here with me
‘Cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me”
Exogenesis : Symphony Part I (Overture) | Muse
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: The Resistance is one of my all-time favorite albums. It’s genius lies within the music, not the lyrics or hype about the album. The instruments, the rhythm (or therefore lack of) and it’s overall personality is a beautiful tour de force for an amazing musical group. Download it here, absolutely free (But then buy it. Seriously.). You won’t regret it.
I Belong To You/Mon Coeur S’ouvre A Toi | Muse
One of my favorite tracks off of their new album, The Resistance. (Actually, now that I think of it, this whole album is probably one of my favorites of all time.) But this song especially, because of its melody, always changing, from a loud rock sound, to a calm, slow, and romantic melody, and with beautifully written lyrics, truly makes this a masterpiece.
