Northern Star
(Rick Nowels, Melanie Chisholm)
They tried to catch a falling star
Thinking that she had gone too far
She did but kept it hidden well
Until she cracked and then she fell
If all the history is true
She's gonna end up just like you
You made it to the other side
But tell me who will be my guide?
They build you up So they can tear you down
Trust the ocean
You'll never drown
Who is next?
Who's gonna steal your crown?
You'll see
I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't give in to their lies
And goodbyes
Northern Star
Fulfil a longing in your heart
And we will never be apart
And if they dare to question you
Just tell them that our love is true
They buy your dreams so they can sell you soul
Is it any wonder we've lost control?
Feelings come
Feelings go
I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far
Northern Star
I have learned my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don't look back and don't succumb to their lies
And goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don't be someone who they forget
When you're lost reach out for me
And you'll see
She's not far

Collide
(Kevin Griffin, Howie Day)
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide
I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find
You and I collide
Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind
Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

The Wedding Song (There Is Love)
(Noel Paul Stookey)
We are gathered in this sacred space of tenderness and care
To witness this most blessed rite, your happiness we share
The union of your spirits here is wondrous to behold
This is the greatest magic that the Universe does hold
It is love, it is love
Well a man shall leave his mother and a woman leave her home
They shall travel on to where the two shall be as one
As it was in the beginning, is now until the end
Woman is the chalice, and the athame the man
And there's love, there is love
Well is there a better reason for becoming man and wife?
It is love that brings you here, and it's love that brings you life
For as constant and as steady as the stars that shine above
And as solid a foundation as the stones shall be your love
There is love, there is love

Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Then I saw your face
Then I saw your smile
The sky is still blue
The clouds come and go
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Don't let yourself be hurt this time
Then your kiss so soft
Then your touch so warm
The stars still shine bright
The mountains still high
Yet something is different
Are we falling in love?
Falling, falling
Falling, falling in love
Falling, falling
Falling, falling in love

Brielle
(Adam R. Young)
There's a handwritten note pressed in the door of her screened in porch
And I am sailing away recalling that day miles from shore
She was still wearing white and robins egg blue, her grandmother's dress
When I left home early this year, how I won't appear is anyone's guess
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly you floated by
And now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
My dear Brielle
Strolling over the sand, and cobblestone paths that wind through the trees
Breathing the sweet forest air makes a blue boy aware that she could be free
When the new sites grow old and I start to feel cold, I'll sail home again
Goodbye Brielle
Only whispers can tell
Of the sweet dreams that we knew so well
I'll see you around our dear ocean town
The frozen days we set ablaze
Sent me drifting away
Like a butterfly you floated by
And now you're alone
I wish I knew when I'll be back again
So until then I wish you well
So until then I wish you well
I love you, my darling farewell
My dear Brielle

Cherry Blossom Girl
(Nicolas Godin, Jean-Benoît Dunckel)
I don't want to be shy
Can't stand it anymore
I just want to say 'Hi'
To the one I love
Cherry blossom girl
I feel sick all day long
From not being with you
I just want to go out
Ever night for a while
Cherry blossom girl
Tell me why can't it be true
I never talk to you
People say that I should
I can pray everyday
For the moment to come
Cherry blossom girl
I just want to be sure
When I will come to you
When the time will be gone
You will be by my side
Cherry Blossom Girl
Tell me why can't it be true
I'll never love again
Can I say that to you
Will you run away
If I try to be true
Cherry blossom girl
Cherry blossom girl
I'll always be there for you
That means no time to waste
Whenever there's a chance
Cherry blossom girl
Tell me why can't it be true
Simon & Garfunkel – The Dangling Conversation
O tema dessa canção é a falha na comunicação entre um casal de enamorados, tão diferentes entre si como os poetas que cada um lê: Emily Dickinson e Robert Frost. Sétima faixa do álbum Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme (Columbia - 1966), terceiro álbum da dupla.

The Dangling Conversation
(Paul Simon)
It's a still life water color
Of a now late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives
Carly Simon – Scarborough Fair
O nome Scarborough Fair é uma referência à feira de Scarborough. Na idade média, essa cidade foi um importante porto e centro de comércio na Inglaterra.
Essa gostosa canção de autoria desconhecida ficou conhecida através da dupla Simon & Garfunkel. Sua letra repete curiosamente, no segundo verso de cada estrofe, as palavras que nessa ordem tem um significado especial: salsa, sálvia, alecrim e tomilho (fonte: Wikipédia).
Segue-se uma belíssima adaptação de Carly Simon (na letra). Décima primeira faixa do seu vigésimo terceiro álbum de estúdio Into White (Columbia Records - 2007). A sensação de ouvir uma canção de uma época tão remota é como viajar no tempo.

Scarborough Fair

Are you goin' to Scarborough Fair?
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine
Ask him to find me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the sea foam and over the sand
And then he'll be a true love of mine
If he tells me he can't, I'll reply
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Let me know at least he will try
And then he'll be a true love of mine
Love it imposes impossible tasks
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Though not any more than any heart asks
He once was a true love of mine

Green
(Brendan James)
Zeppelin never left her
Never died or second guessed her, painted on her body
The stars would never hurt her
Never lie, never desert her
Painted on her body
She prayed to God when she was young
After the storm a calm would come above her
I thought that I could be the one to part the clouds before the sun above her
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Mother moves to town again
Holds her upside down again, said it's nice to see her
Brendan now you've got to come she's where I get my smile from
I'd like for you to meet her
Now Andrea was paint and pride a step behind oh how she tried
I loved her
And all she wore from head to floor was shades of green from our store
I loved her oh oh oh
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
Green reminds me
Of everything we said it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again
And oh, oh, oh, all for me she cried
And oh, oh, oh, all for love
In retrospect wish I
Could have said three words that night
All me, all me, all me
Now, green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you
Green reminds me
Of everything we did it blinds me
It rushes through my head it finds me
Close to you again

Hotels
(Juliana Hatfield)
I miss the sound of laughter
The children down the street
I may not find an answer
It's only memories
Hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels
Days are getting shorter
And the night wind in the trees
And the soft skin on your shoulder
And the way you wanted me
Hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels
Think of me when I'm leaving
Will you give this to my mother?
Once again it's time to leave
There's no ever after
There's only in between
Hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels, hotels, hotels
Welcome me when I need a home
Hotels
