I just got a youtube account so I could comment on an animation someone made, and put together my first Youtube playlist. (I'm not posting all the lyrics, because that would just make this post way too long.)
Dar Williams- Are You Out There?
http://youtube.com/watch?v=GMx9u8ruZOU"Are you out there, can you hear this,
Jimmy Olsen, Johnny Memphis?
I was out here listening all the time,
And though the static walls surround me
You were out there, and you found me,
I was out here listening all the time."
Simon and Garfunkel- The Sound of Silence
http://youtube.com/watch?v=eZGWQauQOAQ"And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more.
People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one deared
Disturb the sound of silence..."
Pink Floyd- Hey You
http://youtube.com/watch?v=lRcQZ2tnWeg"Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, dont tell me theres no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall."
The Decemberists- Sons and Daughters
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Tnill2uj2Gw"When we arrive, sons and daughters,
We'll make our homes underwater.
When we build our walls of aluminum,
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon
(I hope you all voted... did you vote?
Okay, now sing with me... It goes like this:)
Hear all the bombs fade away,
Hear all the bombs fade away..."
MCR- Welcome to the Black Parade
http://youtube.com/watch?v=S5nw1-_5-Vk"He said, "Son when you grow up,
will you be the saviour of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?"
...
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on,
We'll carry on."
Massive Attack- Hymn of the Big Wheel
http://youtube.com/watch?v=_M9muYyYxhI"We sang about the sun and danced among the trees,
And we listened to the whisper of the city on the breeze.
Will you cry in the most in a lead-free zone
Down within the shadows where the factories drone?
On the surface of the wheel they build another town
And so the green come tumbling down
Yes close your eyes and hold me tight
And I'll show you sunset sometime again..."
Melanie Safka- Candles in the Rain
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Zz9sjMGUM9k"We all had caught the same disease,
We all sang the songs of peace.
Some came to sing,
Some came to pray,
Some came to keep
The dark away.
So raise your candles high,
'Cause if you don't we
could stay black against the night.
Oh raise them higher again
'Cause if you do we could stay
dry against the rain."
