A playlist for the girl who flickers in the darkness; the girl who burns but never withers, who is always bright and scorchingand dangerous to the touch. A playlist for Amara Jane Henley, the ever-burning flame.
❝ HANG YOU FROM THE HEAVENS; The Dead Weather
I don't know how to let you go or if I should keep you, I don't know how to let you go (hey) I really do got a reason. I'd like to grab you by the hair and drag you to the devil.
❝ IN A CAGE; The Black Belles
In this room that I'm in you gotta sin to get in, uh huh, you gotta staple on a grin and let them push in the pin. In this bed where I lay you got no choice to stay, uh huh, and no right words to say despite you making me pray.
❝ BLONDE REBELLION; The Pretty Reckless
You don’t know me ‘til you’ve seen me cry, you don’t own me, you won’t until the day that we die, you don’t notice that I try for you - only you, it’s only you. 'Cause all I am is a blonde rebellion, won’t hurt you, but I might hurt someone.
❝ I KNOW WHAT I AM; Band of Skulls
Gasoline, Saccharin, I got no reason for the state I'm in, but I know what I am, they know what they are, so let me be.
❝ VLAD THE IMPALER; Kasabian
All my friends are as sharp as razors, cut you down if you touch the faders; high class girls hung in elevators, now we have got the floor.
They took him to the gallows, he fought them all the way though, and when they asked us how we knew his name we died just before him. Our eyes are in the flowers; our hands are in the branches, our voices in the breezes.
❝ FIRE; Sleeping With Sirens
You give what you have when you decide that you keep burning like fire; it's burning you down. Sometimes they say this should feel something like fire 'til it burns you and you can't, no, you can't remain the same.
❝ PATTERNS; Band of Skulls
There's one for the money, and two for the sin, and three for the time when authority kicks in. There's four for the reason, and five for the tricks, but nothing's gonna save you from the six, six, six. There's seven for the days, and seven for the nights, seven for the heavens, and the tunnels and the lights.
Long before we came around, yeah, these lines were here and there's an ember in the rafters and it's going to bring this whole thing down.
❝ WOMAN KING; Iron & Wine
Hundred years, hundred more, someday we may see a woman king, wristwatch time, slowing as she goes to sleep.
❝ SEVEN NATION ARMY; The White Stripes
And I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, and I'm bleeding, right before the lord; all the words are gonna bleed from me and I will think no more.
❝ YOUR BODY IS A MACHINE; The Good Natured
It's only a matter of time before all the springs in the mind will start to break like you have broken me.
❝ EYES ON FIRE; Blue Foundation
Eyes on fire, your spine is ablaze, felling any foe with my gaze. And just in time, in the right place, steadily emerging with grace.
Shake me into the night and I'm an easy lover; take me into the fight and I'm an easy brother - and I'm on fire.
❝ GIRL ON FIRE; Alicia Keys
She's living in a world and it's on fire, filled with catastrophe, but she knows she can fly away.
❝ BANG THE DOLDRUMS; Fall Out Boy
Come hell or high water, when I'm feeling hot and wet. I can't commit to a thing, be it heart or hospital.
