The songs I can't stop listening to (8/17/12)

Finally getting a breather from seeing and interacting with people all week long by staying in and refusing to talk to people on this Friday night. I need it. These are the songs that are my soundtrack for this evening.

1. Tori Amos - "Ribbons Undone"
2. INXS - "Not Enough Time"
3. The Byrds - "All I Really Want To Do" (Bob Dylan cover)
4. Tori Amos - "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (Judy Garland cover)
5. Mikal Cronin - "Apathy"
6. Anaïs Mitchell & Rachel Ries - "O My Star"


She runs like a fire does...

 

Not enough time for all 
That I want for you 
Not enough time for every kiss 
And every touch and all the nights 
I wanna be inside you 



All I really want to do,
Is, baby, be friends with you



You know the song. Tori's version is the saddest I've ever heard.



And I run home, lock the door and just zone out 
Open, open a case of my problems 
I'm not stupid, just at the end of my rope, I 
I'm alright here on my own 



My favorite discovery of these songs. It's country, it's twangy, and it's so, so, so, where I am right now. Indeed, I'm reprinting the lyrics in their entirety:

Oh my star don't fail me now
That I have followed you from town to town
What are you rushing towards
I can't keep up with you no more
I can't catch you and I can't slow down
But I can't catch you
Oh my star, don't fail me now

Oh my heart don't fail me now
That I have carried you from town to town
Why are you so heavy for
I can't hold you any more
I can't hold you and I can't put you down
But I can't hold you
Oh my heart, don't fail me

I know where my satisfaction lies
Way beyond the blue horizon

Oh my soul, don't fail me now
That I have searched for you from town to town
Why don't you show yourself
I want to know you well
I don't know you but I won't let you down
But I don't even know you
Oh my soul, don't fail me now
