And so on.

Artist: Bad Suns
Song: We Move Like the Ocean

"I know I haven't been by your side
I'm dragging my feet, lost my stride
I've been painting pictures in my head and falling short
Losing my direction, turn me around

I've been just coasting
My mind put to motion
We move like the ocean
But I can't swim anymore"

Artist: Ron Pope

Song: A Drop in the Ocean

"A drop in the ocean,

A change in the weather.

I was praying that you and me might end up together.

It's like wishing for rain as I stand in the desert,

But I'm holding you closer than most,

Cause you are my heaven."

Artist: Kings of Leon
Song: Cold Desert

"I'm on the corner, waiting for a light to come on
That's when I know that you're alone
It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground
Special unspoken without sound"

Artist: Simon & Garfunkel
Song: The Sound of Silence

"Hello darkness, my old friend,
I've come to talk with you again,
Because a vision softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence."

Artist: Capital Cities
Song: Safe and Sound

"I could lift you up
I could show you what you wanna see
And take you where you wanna be

You could be my luck
Even if the sky is falling down
I know that we'll be safe and sound
We're safe and sound!"

Artist: Joshua Radin
Song: "Sky"

"I woke dreaming we had broke
Dreaming you left me for someone new,
And you cried drying those brown eyes
Crying you're sorry, sorry won't do.

But this is the way I need to wake
I'll wake to you, and you never left me
All that I dreamt had been untrue
Open my eyes I see sky"

The Beatles

I Am The Walrus

I am he,

As you are he,

As you are me,

And we are all together.

See how they run,

Like pigs from a gun,

See how they fly.

I'm crying... [...]

Artist: Agnes Obel

Song: Riverside

Lyrics:

Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you won't see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run

When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the riverbed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside

Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
swim with the current and float away
Down by the river every day

Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside

When that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears

I walk to the borders on my own
Fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone

Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside (x2

Artist: The Killers
Song: This River is Wild

"Or should I just get along with myself
I never did get along with everybody else
Ive been trying hard to do whats right
But you know I could stay here all night
And watch the clouds fall
From the sky

Because this river is wild
God speed you boy
This river is wild"
