hallelujah | brandi carlile

well, your faith was strong but you needed proof
you saw her bathing on the roof
her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
she tied you to her kitchen chair
she broke your throne and she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the hallelujah
never thought this day would come, but dare i say… this version rivals jeff buckley’s insanely amazing cover of leonard cohen’s classic as my favorite…? shit. you be the judge.
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.

pursuit of happiness by lissie (originally by kid cudi)

crush a bit, little bit, roll it up, take a hit
feelin’ lit feelin’ light, 2 am summer night
i don’t care, hand on the wheel, drivin’ drunk, i’m doin’ my thing
rollin’ the ridwest side and out livin’ my life getting’ out dreams
people told me slow my roll, i’m screaming out fuck that
i’mma do just what i want lookin’ ahead no turnin’ back
if i fall, if i die, know i lived it to the fullest
if i fall, if i die, know i lived and missed some bullets
i’ve been on a big lissie kick lately, so thanks to john for sending this gem my way (you can watch the video of her live performance here)!
