Song list
- The Man Comes Around, Johnny Cash
Whoever is unjust, let him be unjust still.
Whoever is righteous, let him be righteous still.
Whoever is filthy, let him be filthy still.
Listen to the words long written down,
When the man comes around. - All Along the Watchtower, BT4
But you and I we’ve been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour’s getting late - I’m Not Driving Anymore, Rob Dougan
I wanna fade out gracefully
but you keep keeping me alive
to face another day - Gravity, Sara Bareilles
I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you’re everything I think I need - Ocean, Antje Duvekot
We are infants, you are old
We have battling mountains, we have done what we were told
We have been fighting this no-win war
We will not fight anymore - Unsung Psalm, Tracy Chapman
But I’m feeling hot and bothered under the collar
I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow
I feel the heat and I know its the passion
The love I cant disavow - Heroes, David Bowie
I, I can remember standing by the wall
And the guns shot above our heads
And we kissed as though nothing could fall - When I Look At the World, U2
When there’s all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don’t even blink now do you
Don’t even look away - When All Around Has Fallen, Delirious?
Come, come lay your weary head be still my friend
Come, rise I’ll place my sword upon your shoulder
Come, rise with me - Let Me Be Your Armor, Assemblage 23
Let me take the blows that were meant for you
Let me help you with the trials you’re going through
Let me keep you safe from the world outside
Let me wipe away the tears that fill your eyes - Apocalypse Lullaby, the Wailin’ Jennys
Faster than a ship
Further than bomb
See the glowing grid
Send love throughout the throng - All I Need, Mat Kearney
If everything we’ve got is blowing away
We’ve got a rock and a rock till our dying day
I’m holding on to you, holding on to me
Maybe it’s all we got but it’s all I need - 7 Keys, Aqualung
It wasn’t open but somehow you let yourself in
Closed off and broken, I never wanted to go there again
I wasn’t waiting but you came at just the right time
Maybe I’m wasted, I never knew I could feel so alive - Falling Slowly, the Frames
You have suffered enough
And warred with yourself
It’s time that you won - Apocalyptic Love Song, GrooveLily
I never thought I’d feel like this,
Like I could die right here - A Thousand Kisses Deep, Leonard Cohen
And maybe I had miles to drive,
And promises to keep:
You ditch it all to stay alive,
A thousand kisses deep. - My Lover Man, Bruce Springsteen
I don’t mean to cause you hurt or cause you pain
Life is short and love’s a dirty game
Now there’s no need for our game to end
Come close and we’ll begin - Love Me Like the World is Ending, Ben Lee
This is the last day of existence.
And all I want is you.
There’s a certain sadness.
But I know, I know, I know,
The sky is what makes the ocean blue. - Into My Arms, Nick Cave
And I don’t believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that’s true
But if I did I would summon them together
And ask them to watch over you - Walking After You, Foo Fighters
If you’d accept surrender, I’ll give up some more
Weren’t you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I’m on your back, I’m on your back, I’m on your back - The World Spins Madly On, the Weepies
I let the day go by
I always say goodbye
I watch the stars from my window sill
The whole world is moving and I’m standing still - Endless Skies, VNV Nation
How many years
How many years
Since you found yourself
Staring at an endless sky? - The Planets Bend Between Us, Snow Patrol
The shells crack under our shoes
Like punctuation points
The planets bend between us
A hundred million suns and stars
