tonight, tonight by passion pit (originally by smashing pumpkins)

and you know you’re never sure 
but you’re sure you could be right 
if you held yourself up to the light 
and the embers never fade, in your city by the lake 
the place where you were born 

i got a request for passion pit from sweetcarolineex AND i just discovered this amazing covers/mashups/remixes blog, copy cats (srsly, go follow it now if you aren’t already), so i had to post this passion pit cover of the epic smashing pumpkins’ original.

time is running out by muse

i wanted freedom
bound and restricted
i tried to give you up
but i’m addicted

an oldie but goodie, requested by angelazrael.

romance is boring by los campesinos!

you’re pouting in your sleep, i’m waking still yawning
we’re proving to each other that romance is boring
sure there are things i could do if i was half prepared to
prove to each other that romance is boring

i love the energy that los camps bring to their music. thanks for requesting, katienesser.

armistice by mutemath

you don’t have to say it, i know 
it’s all my fault 
you don’t have to worry, i won’t 
it falls apart 
you don’t have to say it, i know 
it’s all my fault 
the give and take is taking its toll

great request from whichisyourplanet. 

you’ve got the love by florence + the machine (the xx remix)

sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough
and things go wrong no matter what i do
now and then it seems that life is just too much
but you’ve got the love i need to see me through

two amazing artists/bands sure make for one amazing song. thanks for the request, amariebaker.

when the levee breaks by led zeppelin

cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good, 
now, cryin’ won’t help you, prayin’ won’t do you no good, 
when the levee breaks, mama, you got to move. 

it’s been raining so damn much down here, so this song seems only appropriate. thanks for the classic zep request, alackofcolorx!

runaway train by brandon boyd

presently, the future is in the middle of a love triangle,
with calamity and me in the corner starting to feel uncomfortable.
should i douse the spark or fan the flames or merely think of clever things to say?
the more i try to separate, the better it feels to get right in the way.

just got my hands on brandon boyd’s first solo album, the wild trapeze, and this so far is my favorite track (and the first single). hope you enjoy (especially you, catalooch13!).

the outer banks by the album leaf

i’m a big fan of the album leaf’s instrumentals because they’re gorgeous. i got particularly giddy when ivegz requested “the outer banks,” though i might be biased since i’m from north carolina… regardless, gorgeous song.
