Aman Out Of Character.

I've been listening to a whole heap of Waterboys stuff lately and much of speaks to me...it speaks ot me of PUPPETS. Mike Scott has become my personal puppet-song guru.

( Cut for gratuitous Mike Scott lyrics fangirling )

My mun made me post these, I don't know why.

Snow Patrol: Set the Fire to the Third Bar

I find a map and draw a straight line
Over rivers farms and state lines
The distance from A to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My fingers in creases of distant dark places

...

I'm miles from where you are
I lay down on the cold ground
I pray that someone picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms.

Fiona Apple: Oh, Sailor.

And what a thing to know what could be instead
Oh what a blessed curse to see
It took the agenda from its place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me

O' sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Saying there's nothing to it
And then lettin' it go by the boards

O' sailor why'd you do it
What'd you do that for
Giving me eyes to view it
As it goes by the boards

Seriously. Why? What are you up to?

It's taken me all bloody night to upload (thank you dodgy connection that hangs up every five minutes. Thanks a whole bunch) but I finally managed. I've had this piece going through my head since I started this post

Dead Can Dance: Piece for solo flute.

I'd also like to add; OMG UOLË IS SO CUTE. :x

Edit: Annnnd yes, I am a great, big geek on a Dead Can Dance kick at the moment, so I did frame this post around a specific piece of music:

Dead Can Dance: Rembetika

It's a bootleg so the quality is awful but the music is just so cool. It starts off really slow and sad but then Lisa and Brendan go a bit crazy and it morphs into a groove-tastic percussion bonanza:

( It's late, so I'm rambling )

As the mun was hunting for my music festival performance piece, she realized that this song was practically written for us. She's a heartless bitch, my mun.

( Lyrics )

Manwë's had a lot of play in the last couple of days, and it's just reminded me how much I enjoy playing him. So he's getting his playlist posted. I know I've posted some of these before but I care not, they bear repeating.

my husband's mun:re: Falathar/Amillo. Is it time to fire up "Run" again?
my mun: X) it might just be..

On that note, my mun presents the lyrics of a song that has provided a staple for many rocky relationships in Aman. She thinks that it's painfully appropriate for my current situation.

RUN
-Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

So. My mun thinks this song is very Latter-Day Second Age me. She may be right: Knights of Cydonia - Muse. no one's gonna take me alive/the time has come to make things right/you and i must fight for our rights/you and i must fight to survive

And this one is apparently to wind Aulë and Yavanna right up. It's very early Eönwë-to-Ilaya: Gonna Make You Love Me - Ryan Adams.this old world, well, it was mine to take/faith can keep you warm, but i'll teach you how to shake/and i'll come to you like a little girl/it's only gonna make me love you more.

*is just glad his name is not Sue*

*also hopes his Abi isn't going anywhere*
