1116. Epilogue - Justin Hurwitz

1115. City of stars - Ryan Gosling/Emma Stone





City of stars
Are you shinning just for me?
City of stars
There's so much that I can't see
Who knows?
I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you
That now our dreams
They've finally come true

City of stars
Just one thing everybody wants
There in the bars
Or through the smokescreen of the crowded restaurants
It's love
Yes, all we're looking for is love from someone else
A rush
A glance
A touch
A dance

A look in somebody's eyes
To light up the skies
To open the world and send me reeling
A voice that says, I'll be here
And you'll be alright

I don't care if I know
Just where I will go
'Cause all that I need's this crazy feeling
A rat-tat-tat on my heart
Think I want it to stay

City of stars
Are you shining just for me?
City of stars
You never shined so brightly

1114. Joel, the lump of coal - The Killers





Some time ago at Santa's place, up in the old North Pole
There lived a lump of anthracite whose parents called him Joel
Joel, Joel, the lump of coal, happy as a lump can be
He just wants to keep Santa warm and make the elves cozy

But Santa Claus had other plans,
For Joel one fateful day
"Joel, you're just the lump I need
Come join me on my sleigh"

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal,
Heart leapt up with joy
I'll soon be Santa's present's too
A lucky girl or boy
We'll often play together
And we'll hold each other tight
Snuggle under clean white sheets
When we go to sleep at night
But Santa's elves all laughed to Joel
You're in for a surprise
You're not a special Christmas gift
You're just a booby prize!
What kid would ever want you
You're filthy as can be

"But I make heat," poor Joel cried
"And electricity"
"You pollute the air
With CO2 and mercury"

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
Fell down upon his knees
I don't wanna live with the naughty kid,
Don't make me, Santa, please,
But Santa laughed his jolly laugh
"Ho, ho, you stupid lump
You're just the thing to teach this brat
That Santa ain't no chump"

So off they flew and before he knew
Joel was in a sack
He cried and yelled to Santa Claus
Why don't we just go back

And then came Christmas morning
And, much to Joel's surprise (Much to Joel's surprise)
He saw a boy with the saddest face
And tears were in his eyes (Tears were in his eyes)

He picked Joel up, he held him, said you can be my friend
(Hey man, let's be friends)
I would've liked some presents but
You're what Santa chose to send (Santa chose to send)
It's true I've been a naughty boy and maybe that's a sin
This is how Santa treats the kids,
I'm just glad that I'm not him!

Joel, Joel, the lump of coal, knew what he must do
He said now I know the reason why
I got sent to you
'Cause when a person hurts inside
It turns him hard and cruel
But I know how to make your pain into a precious jewel
So take me in your hand, young man
And squeeze with all your might
Let's turn your pain and anger into
Something that shines bright!

And Joel, Joel, the lump of coal
He gave his life away
So that one good naughty little boy
Found the diamond on Christmas day!!

1113. Insatisfação - Márcia



Escrita fina
quando corre ensina
não dura um deserto que atravesse
Pode ir sendo
que demore um tempo
mais tarde ou mais cedo
lá me acerto

Na lembrança
o meu céu de criança
a quem nunca se entrega um tom cinzento
por momentos
vem num pensamento
e uma nuvem chove cá por dentro

Quase nada
(experimento o céu de negro que há de norte a sul
nunca me conforma
(prometo-me a mim mesma mais de céu azul)
a insatisfação
(temo que haja pouco pra me contentar)
nunca me abandona
(mas nada me impede de tentar)

Porque tento
andar atrás no tempo
e entender a chuva que acontece?
Como por magia
há sempre um novo dia
e outra Lua Nova que anoitece
Se a madrugada traz uma canção
pouco importa que me insista hoje em "dia não"
tomei o meu fastidio pra me atormentar
pedras no meu trilho são pra me assentar

Quase nada
(experimento o céu de negro que há de norte a sul
nunca me conforma
(prometo-me a mim mesma mais de céu azul)
a insatisfação
(temo que haja pouco pra me contentar)
nunca me abandona
(mas nada me impede de tentar)

Quando acordar do sono que eu escolhi
quero ter no meu cantinho sempre mais de ti
cada rosa, cada espinho que tanto cresceu
mesmo quando venham pra nublar-me o céu.

Quase nada
(experimento o céu de negro que há de norte a sul
nunca me conforma
(prometo-me a mim mesma mais de céu azul)
a insatisfação
(temo que haja pouco pra me contentar)
nunca me abandona
(mas nada me impede de tentar)

1112. É preciso que eu diminua - Samuel Úria



Já não caibo numa casa
Onde o espaço é todo meu
Não são obras que me salvam
Eu só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer

Durmo de janela aberta
Tenho os braços no estendal
Eu podia acenar-vos
Mas só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer

Leio o topo da estante
Tudo livros de engordar
E eu preciso abreviar-me
Mas só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer

Qualquer palmo que me meça
É de mão sem cicatriz
O que eu sou é largo de ossos
Mas só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer

Eu só me caibo cá dentro
Mas bato no peito
Por estar com o meu ar rarefeito
Eu inicio o discurso
Citando o sujeito
Primeira pessoa é preceito

Eu nem cá dentro me caibo
Mas bate a cabeça no teto
E cai na travessa
Eu já calei o discurso
Que a língua tropeça
Mas o gigantismo amordaça

Eu já invento virtude
No pico não peco
Lá em baixo ficava marreco
Estou tão em-mim-mesmado
Que atiro ao boneco
Gigante barrado no beco

Eu já não sei inventar-me
É só mais do mesmo
Fermento em massa de autismo
Eu nem de mim já me pasmo
Há mar e marasmo
Há ir e voltar aforismo

Eu só sei crescer
Mas só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer
Mas só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer
Eu só sei crescer

1111. Little lights - Ane Brun (feat. Syd Matters)



All of those little lights in the sky
They only stick your feet to the ground
You'd better keep your head down

All of this little dreams in your mind
They only make you wonder why
When you wake up you start to cry
When you come home you just want to die

There was a time you seemed to be fine
You were a rock when you were a child
Waiting for the turn of the tide

You thought the stars were sending you love
How come you never wondered why
When you came home, you started to cry
When you woke up, you wanted to die

All of this little lights in the sky
If you can make them fall you will rise
Just in a nick of time
I thought I could be able to find
Something to save all I left behind
But as I grew up I changed my mind
And only remained the stars in the sky
With your innocence flying by

1110. Let it happen - Tame Impala



It's always around me, all this noise
But not nearly as loud as the voice saying
"Let it happen, let it happen (It's gonna feel so good)
Just let it happen, let it happen"

All this running around
Trying to cover my shadow
An ocean growing inside
All the others seem shallow
All this running around
Bearing down on my shoulders
I can hear an alarm
Must be a warning

I heard about a whirlwind that's coming 'round
It's gonna carry off all that isn't bound
And when it happens, when it happens (I won't be holding on)
So let it happen, let it happen

All this running around
I can't fight it much longer
Something's trying to get out
And it's never been closer
If my ticker fails
Make up some other story
And if I never come back
Tell my mother I'm sorry

I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that

I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that

I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that

I will not vanish and you will not scare me
Try to get through it, try to bounce to it
All the while thinking I might as well do it
They be lovin' someone and I'm not that stupid
Take the next ticket to take the next train
Why would I do it? And you wanna think that

Oh, maybe I was ready all along
Oh, maybe I was ready all along
Oh, maybe all I wanted was the sound
Oh but maybe I was ready all along

1109. All the rage back home - Interpol





When she wept, I left come over my head
About, oh the feelings
And she wept, hold me again, I made no sound, oh repeating
And she swore love has never come so easily
And we went over again, my head about, oh the feeling

She said you don't need time
We changed, you won't need your maid inside
My faith won't lie
He said you don't need mine
Behave, you want to be my lady lover
Of my eighteen summers, were long
She said, you don't read minds
Be patient, you won't leave me shaking
Leave me shaking

I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
But it's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home

When she said, love come over my head about, oh what feeling
She said, you wanna refund?
Be paid, you ought to see my face in lights
My faith won't lie
But my sweet, you don't need mine your way
Just say you'll love me, just say you'll love me
Look, she said you don't read minds
Be patient, you won't see me shaking
You have been mistaken

I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
But it's all the rage back home
Yeah, it's all the rage back home
All the rage back home
All the rage back home
All the rage back

I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
It's all the rage back home
I keep falling, maybe half the time, maybe half the time
It's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home
It's all the rage back home

1108. Parents' house - Milo Greene



I need a break,
Our bodies stop, but we still age
I'm through living with you

At your parents' house, I was never myself
and you were always someone else, someone else

You're not a saint, the frame you took and tried to paint is lewd
Take it with you, to your parents' house
I was never myself, you were always someone else, someone else

Where are you now?
And will you wait for me there?

The way it stands, the overcoat you would not lend
It's proof, long overdue

At your parents' house, where I was never myself
And you were always someone else, someone else

1107. Two way monologue - Sondre Lerche



Mum, all the other options that you had in mind starve me
'Cause I'm optionless and turkey-free and blind

Pa, won't you listen and I'll let you in on this
Blind me! Won't you listen I'll reduce advice to dust
Oh no! I shouldn't have to spell my name

Ma, if it's worth the made up smiles, the quiet fights
Oh mother! It is hard not to look in the mirror's eye
I have come to this while you have come along
So it's alright if you change your mind the other way around again
I shouldn't have to spell my name

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues with words that rhyme

We, can't reclaim the shirts we threw away last twirl
Uncurl the note-in-pocket, personal brochures that dust
Machine-washed, that's how paper rusts

Days you spend wanting some of Michael Landon's grace
strike back, now they shape your life as stony as his face
Oh no! I shouldn't have to spell his name

So start the two way monologues that speak your mind
Start the two way monologues with words that rhyme
Start the two way monologues that speak your mind
We're talking two way monologues

We were chasing rabbits on the hill
And that prairie-life was great, but never real
'Cause we never saw no rabbits out there, ever, no, not once
All we did was put a fire up and watch it burn for months
And I miss the sound of stairs and walls and maladjusted doors
and too little space for holding all the soldiers and the war

1106. Época - Gotan Project



Si desapareció
en mi aparecerá
creyeron que murió
pero renacerá

Llovió, paró, llovió
y un chico adivinó
oímos una voz, y desde un tango
rumor de pañuelo blanco

No eran buenas esas épocas
malos eran esos aires
fue hace veinticinco años
y vos existías, sin existir todavía

Si desapareció
en mi aparecerá
creyeron que murió y aquí se nace,
aquí la vida renace

No eran buenas esas épocas
malos eran esos aires
fue hace veintinco años
y vos existías

No eran buenas esas épocas
malos eran esos aires
fue hace veinticinco años
y vos existías, sin existir todavía

1105. Castle on a cloud - Les Miserables



There is a castle on a cloud,
I like to go there in my sleep,
Aren't any floors for me to sweep,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a room that's full of toys.
There are a hundred boys and girls.
Nobody shouts or talks too loud,
Not in my castle on a cloud.

There is a lady all in white,
Holds me and sings a lullaby,
She's nice to see and she's soft to touch,
She says, "Cosette, I love you very much."

I know a place where no one's lost,
I know a place where no one cries,
Crying at all is not allowed,
Not in my castle on a cloud.
