1. Gin Wigmore, Hallelujah
Hallelujah for these eyes to see your painted life
Hallelujah for the touch of skin to skin with mine
2. Florence + The Machine, Howl
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
3. Ingrid Michaelson, The Way I Am
Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
4. Norah Jones, Nightingale
All the voices that are spinnin' around me
Trying to tell me what to say
Can I fly right behind you
And you can take me away
If I’m this tired while having fun How much younger will I be young
6. Regina Spektor, Firewood
But a heart can't be helped
And it gathers regret
7. Of Monsters and Men, Yellow Light
Somewhere deep in the dark
A howling beast hears us talk.
8. Lisa Mitchell, Oh! Hark!
Once again I leave my grave
Dirt and daisies hit the pave
No sooner than I have turned
I hear the devil cooking up a new storm
9. Charlie Winston, Hello Alone
Hello alone, it’s you and me again
How can we pretend we’ve never met
Hello alone, you might as well come in
We’ve been making beds for too long
10. Agnes Obel, Words Are Dead
Didn't know if you could
Deny the dead,
Leaving them in silence
On their mouldy bed
