sailor | the home we chose versus the one that we imagined.

the yellow jackets (taio cruz cover), dynamite.

i'm gonna take it all,
i'm gonna be the last one standing.
'cause i, i, i believe it,
and i, i, i, i just want it all.

february

the gaslight anthem, american slang (acoustic).

and they cut me to ribbons and taught me to drive.
i got your name tattooed inside of my arm.
i called for my father but my father had died,
while you told me fortunes in american slang.

march

they might be giants, marty beller mask.

don't walk away from me!
i will always love you!
but how will i know?
trick or treat.

april

gd & top, high high.

high, high, i'm so high,
fly, fly, touch the sky!

may

los campesinos!, romance is boring.

we are two ships that pass in the night.
you and i, we are nothing alike.
i am a pleasure cruise, you are gone out to trawl,
return less empty, nothing at all.
you're pouting in your sleep,
i'm waking still yawning,
we're proving to each other that romance is boring.

june

skrillex, with you, friends (long drive).

we fell in love with gravity
but i really do miss you.
all my love: you, you, you.

july

kanye west, through the wire.

unbreakable, would you thought they called me mr. glass?
look back on my life like the ghost of christmas past,
toys r us where i used to spend that christmas cash.
and i still won't grow up, i'm a grown-ass kid.
swear i should be locked up for stupid shit that i did.
but i'm a champion,
so i turn tragedy to triumph,
make music that's fire,
spit my soul through the wire.

august

cosmo jarvis, is the world strange?

i'm a rain-filled cloud that can't drop
the huge storm it allowed to build up inside it,
no, not a single drip.
i can never get rid of what makes me a dick.
i'd say sorry, but it's not my fault i exist!

september

owen pallett, oh heartland, up yours.

there's a method to the madness.
they will feign an expression of sadness.
a concatenation of locusts,
and the farmers are losing their focus.
on the pitch of the avenroe grasses,
i will sing, sing, sing to the masses:
oh heartland, up yours!

october

daniel johnston, etiquette.

this is the fourth element in friendliness:
friendliness is very contagious.
the trouble is that many of us wait to catch it from someone else,
instead of giving the other fella a chance.

november

the nightwatchman, the road i must travel.

so tonight i walk in anger with worn shoes on my feet,
but the road i must travel,
its end i cannot see.
and i will sing to myself that i'm gonna be free,
bu the road i must travel,
its end i cannot see.

december

hoodie allen, you are not a robot.

but if it doesn't kill me, it makes me tougher,
and that's a message that i pass on to my brother.
you're never really gonna make a difference 'til you suffer,
but we passed that,
now it's time to smash that, thunder.

the home we chose versus the one that we imagined.
