Music-hunting

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 09:28:38 GMT

I realized the other day that I have a handful of songs that make reference to cranes and similar water birds in their lyrics, and for whatever weird reason, the different lyrical depictions is kind of intriguing. I'm kind of interested in making a crane mix or something. I might burn it and give it to my mother with a pretty CD cover image, because she likes cranes and herons and such.

Some examples of what I have:
"long-necked birds flying out of the moonlight" ("Sins of my Father," Tom Waits)
"whooping cranes and wooden beams; great white wings beating in an attic, in a house" ("Augustine," Patrick Wolf)
"every time I open my window, cranes fly in and terrorize me" ("Burning Beard," Clutch)

Anybody have songs that mention cranes (however briefly) that they might donate?

Thanks!

stubble on my sticky lips

You're the closest to my heart bar none
Except for my wallet and my gun

4. Arcade Fire, "Born On A Train"

I know that you were never young,
And I know you probably won't get old.
But honey, nobody's gonna hurt you anymore.
And nobody's gonna make you wanna die.

5. The Magnetic Fields, "The Desperate Things You Made Me Do"

Time provides the rope
But love will tie the slipknot
And I will be the chair you kick away
You don't even like anything you like
Or the people you know

We won't last another year
But as we fall into the line
You smile and say we're doin' fine

To love me like a monster

Control me like a father
One last time
Stay with me 'til I'm stronger

And it’s more than I could ask for

Anyone to wanna follow in my lead as I
Hurry on down a dusty old street

You could run but you could never be free
From the brand of venom spillin’ out of me
‘Cause you might as well be leavin’ a baby
At an orphanage door

2. Richard Thompson, "Shoot Out The Lights"

In the dark, who can see his face?
In the dark, who can reach him?
He hides like a child. He hides like a child.
Keeps his finger on the trigger
You know he can't stand the day
Shoot out the lights.

3. Pansy Division, "Flower"

Your face reminds me of a flower
Kind of like you're underwater
Hair's too long and in your eyes
Your lips are perfect suck-me size

4. Shakespear's Sister, "Emotional Thing"

now the air is getting thin
you make my senses start to swim
it's just a suicidal whim
but i can't resist
an emotional thing

If I didn't love you I'd hate you
Watching you play in the bath
A soap suds stickle back navy
A scrubbing brush landing craft

6. The Magnetic Fields, "Meaningless"

and if some dim bulb should say
we were in love in some way
kick all his teeth in for me
and if you feel like keeping on kicking,
feel free

7. The Indigo Girls, "Three Hits"

Well I dream you constant stranger with your best bloods and your anger
You say mother do you claim me my beloved do you blame me

young and insane

And I got on it
With a heartful of hate
And a lust for vomit
Now I'm walking on the sunnyside of the street

See you baby in your tight black pants
Got the chills 'cause you make me so hot
Let's go in the alley show me what you got

Her mother’d been a drunk
And her father was obscurity
But nothin’ ever came
From a life that was a simple one

8. Horslips, "Turn Your Face to the Wall"

Around every corner there's somebody looking for you
And to take away your life is his intention
But you can't hide what you're feeling inside
Yours is a crime you can't mention

9. Black 47, "Too Late to Turn Back"

You've been waitin' like this for years
Through all the laughter and the cloudy tears
Always standin' on a tightrope
Through a million little bands
Always waitin' for redemption
Now it's right at hand

10. Wendy O. Williams, "It's My Life"

I've got a reputation, people know who I am
Rules are made to be broken, can't kill what you don't understand
I see you're running scared, I never knew you cared
Go hide your head in the sand

That I'm in love with you

Many strangers have I met
On the road to my regret
Many lost who seek to find themselves in me

1. The Police, "Murder By Numbers"

Once that you've decided on a killing
First you make a stone of your heart
And if you find that your hands are still willing
Then you can turn a murder into art

2. Suzanne Vega, "In The Eye"

If you were to kill me now right here
I would still look you in the eye
And I would burn myself into your memory
as long as you were still alive

3. Tom Smith, "Dark Country"

Well, I like having all my pawns
Convenient at my hands,
For Judgement Day is coming on,
And, darlin', I've got plans.

4. Siouxsie and the Banshees, "This Wheel's On Fire"

If your mem'ry serves you well,
You'll remember you're the one
That called on me to call on them
To get you your favors done.

And there was nothing more to tell,
You knew that we would meet again,
If your mem'ry served you well.

The myriad choices of his fate

All covered with sleep
Where the black angel did weep
Not an old city street in the east
Gone to choose

Fly low ye carrion crow
seize my body for the dead I owe
drop me high into the depths below
for the things I've seen no one else should know

I wanna be a strawberry lover
Hot under cover
And rise in the fields
Reckless and free
High as no other
Strawberry lover
A sweetness revealed

James bondage with the handcuffs tight
I swear to God I'm gonna get it tonight
Oh I know that he's got plans for me

Introductory post!

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 07:39:03 GMT

Okay!

My name is aurus, and I'm your friendly moderator-thingy. Go, post music, be awesome.

To start the ball rolling, I did a meme on my LJ ages and ages ago where you had to make a mini-mix of three to five songs for whatever characters or pairings your friends suggested. The only ones that I actually finished are listed below.

Renji/Rukia (of Bleach):

Pink Floyd: Wish You Were Here
How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl, year after year.
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

Suzanne Vega: Marlene on the Wall
Marlene watches from the wall, her mocking smile says it all
As she records the rise and fall of every soldier passing.
But the only soldier now is me. I'm fighting things I cannot see.
I think it's called my destiny, that I am changing.

Eric Clapton: Tears in Heaven
Would you know my name if I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same if I saw you in heaven?
I must be strong and carry on,
'Cause I know I dont belong here in heaven.

Spike Spiegel (of Cowboy Bebop):

Eric Clapton: Knocking on Heaven's Door
Mama, take these guns off of me,
I can't shoot them anymore.
There's a long black cloud following me.
Feels like I'm knocking on Heaven's door.

Soundgarden: Like Suicide
She lived like a murder,
How she'd fly so sweetly.
She lived like a murder,
But she died just like suicide.

Roger Waters: 5:01 AM (The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking)
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking.
Oh babe, I must be dreaming.
I'm standing on the leading edge, the Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes.
"Jump," says Yoko Ono.
"I'm too scared and too good looking," I cried.
"Go on", she says, "why don't you give it a try?
Why prolong the agony? All men must die."

Toboe (of Wolf's Rain):"

Soundgarden: Boot Camp
There must be something else,
There must be something good
Far away.

Rage Against the Machine: Beautiful World
It's a wonderful time to be here, it's nice to be alive.
Wonderful people everywhere;
The way they comb their hair makes me want to say:
It's a wonderful place,
Oh what a wonderful place
For you... not me.

Michael Kamen (Band of Brothers soundtrack): Winters on Subway
Instrumental

Tsume (of Wolf's Rain)

Jimi Hendrix: Crosstown Traffic
You're just like crosstown traffic, so hard to get through to you.
Crosstown traffic, I dont need to run over you.
Crosstown traffic, all you do is slow me down.
And I got better things on the other side of town.

Metallica: Of Wolf and Man
I hunt, therefore I am. Harvest the land, taking of the fallen lamb.
Off through the new day's mist I run,
Out from the new day's mist I have come.
We shift, pulsing with the earth,
Company we keep, roaming the land while you sleep.

Tool: Reflection
And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping,
The moon tells me a secret, my confidant.
As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own,
And a million light reflections pass over me.
Its source is bright and endless. She resuscitates the hopeless.
Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting.
