803. Camera talk - Local Natives





We're running through the aisles
Of the churches still in style
Does this city have a curfew?
Don't you know it's good to see you too

The riders on the Champs Elysés
We are the tourists in the cafes
We drank our wine along the river
Not believing where we were at all

It's alright, the camera's talking
Oh
And even though I can't be sure
Memory tells me that these times are worth working for

The buffalo in Catalina
The colored stones and troop leaders
The voices of the canopy singers
Ensured that we wouldn't sleep for long

I knew this would be the part
My plane's arrival catches me off guard
We'll all be leaving with a broken heart
Wallets empty and we're back at start

It's alright, the camera is talking
Oh
And even though i can't be sure
Memory tells me that these times are worth working for

The cistern is not even full

802. Hail bop - Django Django



Always look at the white sky and you lose your head in the clouds
Wanna step onto them and float down to the ground
You appear from the hillside and there's a funny look in your eye
Between a rock and a hard place and I will either do or say die

Spins the phrases together 'til something starts to make sense
Talk of the future ignoring the present tense
Start shining the night sky you light up like a solar flair
Won't just burn up on contact as we enter the atmosphere

Hail to the bop believe me
Took your time to come back and see me
I've been waiting here so long and now you've taken off again

801. Who loves the sun - The Velvet Underground



Who loves the sun
Who cares that it makes plants grow
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart

Who loves the wind
Who cares that it makes breezes
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart

Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Not everyone
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun

Who loves the rain
Who cares that it makes flowers
Who cares that it makes showers
Since you broke my heart

Who loves the sun
Who cares that it is shining
Who cares what it does
Since you broke my heart

Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Not everyone
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Sun
Sun
Sun

Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Not everyone
Pa Pa Pa Pa
Who loves the sun

800. Everybody's free to wear sunscreen - Baz Luhrmann



Ladies and gentlemen of the class of '99:

Wear sunscreen.

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience. I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth. Oh, never mind. You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded. But trust me, in 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blind sides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing.

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts. Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy. Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind. The race is long and, in the end, it's only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive. Forget the insults. If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters. Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives. Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to your knees. You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary. Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much, or berate yourself either. Your choices are half chance. So are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body. Use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it. It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines. They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Be nice to your siblings. They're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go, but with a precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get, the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel.

Accept certain inalienable truths: Prices will rise. Politicians will philander. You, too, will get old. And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund. Maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know when either one might run out.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

799. Holiday - Poor Moon



On a holiday
You won't be taking any calls
You won't be surrounded
By the same four walls
This will be the last time anyone hears your
Footsteps in the hall
Leaving through the front door
Feeling ten foot tall

Had to get away
Because you waited far too long
Needed time to listen to your favorite songs
And just about the time when everyone here
Noticed you were gone
You were making footprints in the sand at dawn

Far away
On a holiday
Far away

Far away
On a holiday
Far away

798. My rifle, my pony & me - Ricky Nelson





The sun is sinking in the west
The cattle go down to the stream
The redwing settles in the nest
It's time for a cowboy to dream

Purple light in the canyons
That's where I long to be
With my three good companions
Just my rifle, pony and me

Gonna hang (gonna hang) my sombrero (my sombrero)
On the limb (on the limb) of a tree (of a tree)
Coming home (coming home) sweetheart darling (sweetheart darling)
Just my rifle, pony and me
Just my rifle, my pony and me

(Whippoorwill in the willow
Sings a sweet melody
Riding to Amarillo)
Just my rifle, pony and me
No more cows (no more cows) to be roping (to be roping)
No more strays will I see
Round the bend (round the bend) she'll be waiting (she'll be waiting)
For my rifle, pony and me
For my rifle, my pony and me

797. Three bells - The Browns



There's a village, hidden deep in the valley,
Among the pine trees, half forlorn.
And there, on a sunny morning,
Little Jimmy Brown was born.

All the chapel bells were ringing, in the little village town,
And the song that they were singing was for baby Jimmy Brown.
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above:
"Lead us not into temptation, bless this hour of meditation.
Guide him with eternal love."

There's a village, hidden deep in the valley,
Beneath the mountains high above.
And there, twenty years thereafter,
Jimmy was to meet his love.

All the chapel bells were ringing, ‘Twas a great day in his life,
Cause the song that they were singing was for Jimmy and his wife.
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above:
"Lead us not into temptation, bless, O Lord, this celebration.
May their lives be filled with love."

From the village, hidden deep in the valley,
One rainy morning dark and gray,
A soul winged its way to heaven.
Jimmy Brown had passed away.

Just one lonely bell was ringing, in the little village town,
‘Twas farewell that it was singing to our buddy Jimmy Brown.
And the little congregation prayed for guidance from above:
"Lead us not into temptation, may his soul find the salvation
Of thy great eternal love."

796. Mother nature's son - The Beatles



Born a poor young country boy
Mother Nature's son
All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone.

Sit beside a mountain stream
See her waters rise
Listen to the pretty sound of music as she flies.

Find me in my field of grass
Mother Nature's son
Swaying daises sing a lazy song beneath the sun.

Mother Nature's son.

795. Got to get you into my life - The Beatles



I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't hide
And had you gone, you knew in time
We'd meet again for I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you to hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I
Could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day

794. I'd rather dance with you - Kings of Convenience



I'd rather dance with you than talk with you
So why don't we just move into the other room
There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune

Even if I could hear what you said
I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear
Because I haven't read a single book all year
And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all

I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd
Increases the chance of misinterpretation
So let your hips do the talking
I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings
And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing
Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...

(Getting to the swing...)
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you
I'd rather dance with you

793. One day / Reckoning song - Asaf Avidan



One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

No more tears, my heart is dry
I don't laugh and I don't cry
I don't think about you all the time
But when I do – I wonder why

One day baby, we'll be old
Oh baby, we'll be old
And think of all the stories that we could have told

792. Do I wanna know - Arctic Monkeys



Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get the fear that you can't shift the type that
sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that you're in deep?
I dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause there's this tune I found that makes me think of you
somehow and I play it on repeat
Until I fall asleep
Spilling drinks on my settee

Do I wanna know
if this feeling flows both ways?
Sad to see you go
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
Baby we both know
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that
you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few
Cos I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you

So have you got the guts?
Been wondering if your hearts still open
And if so I wanna know what time it shuts
Simmer down and pucker up
I'm sorry to interrupt
It's just I'm constantly on the cusp
Of trying to kiss you
I don't know if you feel the same as I do
But we could be together if you wanted to

Do I wanna know
if this feeling flows both ways?
Sad to see you go
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
Baby we both know
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that
you can't say tomorrow day

Crawlin' back to you
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few
Cos I always do
Maybe I'm too busy being yours to fall for somebody new
Now I've thought it through
Crawlin' back to you

Do I wanna know
if this feeling flows both ways?
Sad to see you go
Was sorta hoping that you'd stay
Baby we both know
That the nights were mainly made for saying things that
you can't say tomorrow day

Do I wanna know?
Too busy being yours to fall
Sad to see you go
Ever thought of calling darling?
Do I wanna know?
Do you want me crawling back to you?

791. Reflektor - Arcade Fire



Trapped in a prism
In a prism of light
Alone in the darkness
Darkness of white
We fell in love
Alone on a stage
In the reflective age

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.
Entre le royaume, des vivants et des morts.

If this is heaven
I don't know what it's for
If I can't find you there
I don't care

I thought I found a way to enter
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

The signals we send
Are deflected again
We're still connected
But are we even friends?

We fell in love when I was nineteen
And I was staring at a screen

Entre la nuit, la nuit et l'aurore.
Entre les voyants, les vivants et les morts.

If this is heaven
I need something more
Just a place to be alone
Cause you're my home???

I thought I found a way to enter
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

It's just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection of a reflection

Will I see you on the other side?
We all got things to hide

It's just a reflection of a reflection
Of a reflection of a reflection

Will I see you on the other side?
We all got things to hide

Alright, let's go back

Our song escapes
On neon silver discs
Our love is plastic
We'll break it to bits

I want to break free
But will they break me?
Down, down, down
Don't mess around

I thought I found a way to enter
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
I thought I found the connector
It's just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

Thought you would bring me to the ressurector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring to me the ressurector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)
Thought you would bring to me the ressurector
Turns out it was just a Reflektor (It's just a Reflektor)

It's a Reflektor
It's just a Reflektor
Just a Reflektor

Will I see you on the other side?

It's just a Reflektor

Will I see you on the other side?
We all got things to hide

It's just a Reflektor

Will I see you on the other side?

790. You and me - Penny & The Quarters



You and me,
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me. (Hey, hey, hey)
You and me, (My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

If the stars don't shine, if the moon won't rise, if I never see the setting sun again,
You won't hear me cry, this I testify; please believe me, boy, you know I wouldn't lie.
As long as there is

You and me, (Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me. (Hey, hey, hey)
You and me, (My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

If you love a soul more than fame and gold, and that soul feels the same about you,
It's a natural fact, there's no turning back, and here's some advice to you:
You've got to say it's,

You and me, (Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me. (Hey, hey, hey)
You and me, (My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

When love is real, you don't have to show it.
When it is true, then everyone will know.
'Cause there'll be no one but

You and me, (Youuuuuuu)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me. (Hey, hey, hey)
You and me, (Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You and me,
Nobody baby but you and me.

789. Lovin' arms - The Wood Brothers



ridin’ a big jet plane
cryin’ into your sleeve
’cause you miss those lovin’ arms
a lullaby keeps on playin’
and you’re thinkin’ it’s a dream
’cause you miss those lovin’ arms

and you got a good mind to pray
they say it’s all part of his plan
but what if he’s got slippery hands?

it’s a sad face you’re wearin’
like a burned out sun
’cause you miss those lovin’ arms
you’d think a grown man would care
about his boot lace undone
but you just miss those lovin’ arms
yeah you miss those lovin’ arms

and you got a good mind to pray
they say it’s all part of his plan
but what if he’s got slippery hands?
well god damn
you’re a boy not a man
when you miss those lovin’ arms

well some day
when you’re up there flyin’
and you miss those lovin’ arms
it isn’t so far away
the sweet lullaby
when you miss those lovin’ arms

788. This charming man - The Smiths



A punctured bicycle
On a hillside desolate
Will nature make a man of me yet ?

When in this charming car
This charming man

Why pamper life's complexity
When the leather runs smooth
On the passenger seat

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"

A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

I would go out tonight
But I haven't got a stitch to wear
This man said "It's gruesome that someone so handsome should care"
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...
Na, na-na, na-na, na-na, this charming man ...

A jumped up pantry boy
Who never knew his place
He said "return the ring"
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things
He knows so much about these things

Phoenix - Entertainment | A Take Away Show from La Blogotheque on Vimeo.

Loud volume turn to low low low low low low

What you want and what you do to me
I'll take the trouble that you have in mind

What I once refused to be
Is everything they long together
I'd rather be alone

Before I knew you
Once upon a time would take too long, long, long, long, long, long

What you want and what you do to me
I'll take the trouble that you have in mind

Entertainment
Show them what you do with me
When everyone here knows better
What I once refused to be
Is everything they long together
I'd rather be alone

And while the ocean blooms
It's what keeps me alive

784. Ao longe o mar - Madredeus



Porto calmo de abrigo
De um futuro maior
Inda não está perdido
No presente temor

Não faz muito sentido
Já não esperar o melhor
Vem da névoa saindo
A promessa anterior

Quando avistei
Ao longe o mar
Ali fiquei
Parada a olhar

Sim, eu canto a vontade
Canto o teu despertar
E abraçando a saudade
Canto o tempo a passar

Quando avistei
Ao longe o mar
Ali fiquei
Parada a olhar

Quando avistei
Ao longe o mar
Sem querer deixei-me
Ali ficar

783. Next year - Two door cinema club



I don't know where I am going to rest my head tonight
So I won't promise that I'll speak to you today
But if I ever find
Another place
A better time
For that moment I was never what I am

Take me to where you are
What you've become
And what you will do when I am gone
I won't forget
I won't forget

Maybe someday
You'll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying I'll be home for next year, darling
I'll be home for next year

In between the lines
Is the only place you'll find
What you're missing but you didn't know was there
So when I say goodbye
You must do your best to try
And forgive me this weakness
This weakness

'Cause I don't know what to say
Another day
Another excuse to be sent your way
Another day
Another year

Maybe someday
You'll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying I'll be home for next year, darling
I'll be home for next year
And maybe sometime
In a long time
You'll remember
What I had said there
I said I'll be home for next year, darling
I'll be home for next year

If you
Think of me
I will think of you

Maybe someday
You'll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying I'll be home for next year, darling
I'll be home for next year
Maybe sometime
In a long time
You'll remember
What I had said there
I said
I'll be home for next year

Maybe someday
You'll be somewhere
Talking to me
As if you knew me
Saying I'll be home for next year, darling
I'll be home for next year

782. When you get to Asheville - Steve Martin & Edie Brickel





When you get to Asheville
Send me an e-mail
Tell me how you're doing
How it's treatin' you

Did you find a new job
Did you find a new love
Is it everything that
You were dreaming of

Ooh, if it don't work out
Ooh, if it don't work out
Ooh, you can turn around
And come on back to me
You can come on home to me
Everything's the same here
We had to sew up Goldie's ear
She must've got into a fight
Somewhere in the night

She won't sleep in the house now
She just listens for the sound
Of your old eighty-four Ford
Comin' down the road

Ooh, if it don't work out
Ooh, if it don't work out
Ooh, you can turn around
And come on back to me
Come on back to me
You can come on home to me

When you get to Asheville
Send me an e-mail
Let me know that you still
Think about me

781. Most of the time - Bob Dylan



Most of the time
I'm clear focused all around
Most of the time
I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path
I can read the signs
Stay right with it
When the road unwinds
I can handle whatever
I stumble upon
I don't even notice
She's gone
Most of the time

Most of the time
It's well understood
Most of the time
I wouldn't change it if I could
I can't make it all match up
I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation
Right down to the bone
I can survive,
And I can endure
And I don't even think
About her
Most of the time

Most of the time
My head is on straight
Most of the time
I'm strong enough not to hate
I don't build up illusion
'till it makes me sick
I ain't afraid of confusion
No matter how thick
I can smile in the face
Of mankind.
Don't even remember
What her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time
Most of the time
She ain't even in my mind
I wouldn't know her if I saw her
She's that far behind
Most of the time
I can't even be sure
If she was ever with me
Or if I was ever with her

Most of the time
I'm halfway content
Most of the time
I know exactly where it all went
I don't cheat on myself
I don't run and hide
Hide from the feelings
That are buried inside
I don't compromise
And I don't pretend
I don't even care
If I ever see her again
Most of the time

780. Hot knife - Fiona Apple



If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise.

If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise.

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him

If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I’m butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope,
he's showing the dancing bird of paradise

I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter.
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.

I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.

(And you can, and you can, and you can relax around me)

(If I'm butter - if I'm butter-
If I'm butter, then he's a hot knife,
he makes my heart a cinemascope screen
showing the dancing bird of paradise)

(And you can, and you can, and you can relax around me)

I'm a hot knife- I'm a hot knife-
I'm a hot knife, he's a pad of butter
If I get a chance I'm gonna show him that
he's never gonna need- never need another.

(And you can, and you can, and you can wild up around me)

He excites me
Must be like a genesis of rhythm
I get feisty
Whenever I'm with him...

towards the end:

Maybe he can teach me something, maybe I can teach him too.
Even just to see if there's a shot, that he - really - got over you.

Maybe he can teach me something, maybe I can teach him too.
It's not impossible to show me, he - really - got over you.
