II
IF I HAD A BOAT
James Vincent McMorrow

once I had a dream
once I had a hope
that was yesterday
not so long ago
this is not the end
this is just the world
such a foolish thing
such an honest girl

if I had a boat, I would sail to you
hold you in my arms, ask you to be true

III
JUST WAR
Danger Mouse and Sparklehorse

just war, just war
you said it wouldn't hurt
goodbye, sleep tight
cause surely, it's ain't just war

IV
A KING AND A QUEEN
Okkervil River

but the best thing for you would be queen, so be queen
you’re all that I need
though I know that it never can be
I’d be pleased to post your decrees
to fall at your knees
to name all your streets and to sit down and weep
when you’re carried back through them
and set down to sleep
and to lie by your side for sublime centuries
(until we crumble to dust when we’re crushed by a single sunbeam)

SISTER
Mumford & Sons

I see the love in your brother's eyes
and the love in your mother's cries
sister, don't test the ones you love

sister, don't let go
sister, don't let go of us

WINTER FOR A YEAR
Arcade Fire

oh my God, a winter for a year
and I cleaned out the back of my wardrobe for a year
jackets never turn into branches
not while you're not here

oh my God, a winter for a year
oh my God, a winter for a year
I kept my life so cold
every breath just fogs up all the mirrors
the tears are frozen long
long before I ever thought of crying

VII
WOMAN LEFT LONELY
Cat Power

a woman left lonely will soon grow tired of waiting
she'll do crazy things, yeah, on lonely occasions
she's got to do the best that she can
a woman left lonely, Lord, that lonely girl
Lord, Lord, Lord

VIII
ADVENTURES IN SOLITUDE
The New Pornographers

I know you want to
breathe through
come back
come too
but it's comin' at a bad time
old scarred face
survivor's guilt
for all we know

we thought we lost you
welcome back

IX
IMPOSSIBLE SOUL
Sufjan Stevens

my beloved, you are the lover of my impossible soul

don't be distracted, don't be distracted
do you want to love me more?
do you want to love me more?
for love is the breath

oh, I know it wasn't safe, it wasn't safe to breathe at all

do you want to dance?
we can do much more together
it's not so impossible

we made such a mess
we made such a mess together
