--LYRICS BELOW--

[Verse 1]
There's got to be another way
I've been on my own all day
Pretending everything's alright
We've been drifting apart for some time

[Verse 2]
There's fire burning in the trees
Maybe life is the way it seems
I feel like I'm holding on
To a place in your heart that's long gone

[Chorus]
My love, my love
My love, my love

[Verse 3]
I never want to fade away
Wanna turn as the seasons change
And every time you come around
Well the days of the year just slow down

[Chorus]
My love, my love
My love, my love
My love, my love
My love, my love

Whitney - Light Upon the Lake (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2018-05-29 | On screen lyrics

Light Upon the Lake by Whitney

http://www.whitneytheband.com

[Verse 1]
Fire across the plains
Light upon the lake
Lonely haze of dawn
When old days are gone

[Chorus]
Will life get ahead of me?
Will life get ahead of me?

[Verse 2]
All these times will change
I can’t turn away
Planes are heading home
When old friends are gone

[Chorus]
Will life get ahead of me?
Will life get ahead of me?

What have the artists said about the song?

Ehrlich: “[‘Light Upon The Lake’] was the last song that we wrote, and it kind of encapsulated everything. It kind of put a punctuation mark at the end of the transition we were going through. The lyrics can be interpreted as being about the breakup of the last band, or the relationship we were going through, but it stood out. It’s still my favourite song, I think.”

I've also heard him say that the song is about anxiety.

Spirit Cold

Josh Manuel 2018-02-21 | A very short music film made for fun. Didn't have anything planned out. The coldness you see can be a metaphor for the sadness we often experience in life. The sunset at the end offers hope. Keep your head up. There's beauty to be found in the cold.

Electric President - Grand Machine No. 12 (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-08-12 | on screen lyrics.

--LYRICS--
This damn machine, this damn machine,
this broken head doesn't work
So they're selling it off again
These crooked legs, these twisted arms,
these tired feet lost their worth
Soon they'll dismantle them

But we're all just part of some giant grand machine
Too big to really understand
But we'll do our jobs till we break down and fall

Now we just sleepwalk. We drift through the week
A dead procession always dragging its feet. Well, come on
Our hands are swollen. We all need to sleep
But there's no time, just stitch us up so we'll keep

We're all just part of someone's elaborate plan
Chess pieces in some grandiose scheme
But we'll do our jobs till we break down and fall

Whitney - Polly (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-08-08 | Lyrics on screen.

http://www.whitneytheband.com

--LYRICS--

[Verse 1]
And I know in the past we wanted separate roles
Then I chose you, yeah
And I’ve seen the kind of dirt that took my baby from me
Oh, I never told you
Anytime I feel my week is nearly over
I lay awake in all kinds of darkness, Polly

[Chorus]
Oh, no, no, no, no
If only we were young
You’d make me feel hung up

[Verse 2]
And I know in the past you left me with no heart
How cheap were the nights you used to keep me warm?

[Chorus]
Girl, no, no, no, no
If only we were young
You’d make me feel warm

Josh Manuel 2017-08-07 | On screen lyrics.

http://www.whitneytheband.com

--LYRICS--

I know you can't help me now
And sometimes people change
I've been sick since you left town
We've gotta find a way to feel the same

I know it's hard to give up when I don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh, I know I wish you were my friend

I want you to know I think you're right
Though there's so much I've been going through
I'm still the boy you left for nights
And I don't wanna know what I should do

I know it's hard to give up when I don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Don't you go and leave me here, my friend

Whoo

I know it's hard to give up when I don't want to be saved
Take me in your heart again
And I know how to keep you hung up but I won't do it again
Oh, I know I wish you were my friend

NRBQ - Magnet (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-08-03 | On screen lyrics to Magnet performed by NRBQ (1972)

http://www.nrbq.com

--LYRICS--

[Verse 1]
I'm like a magnet
You're like a piece of wood
Can't get together
Don't make me feel so good

[Verse 2]
I'm like a convict
You're like the FBI
I ask for breakfast
You bring a piece of pie

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know it's useless to say
How it used to be
Why do you treat me this way?
If you could only see

[Chorus]
You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

[Verse 3]
I'm like a rowboat
You're like the Queen Mary
I play a tango
You play a symphony

[Pre-Chorus 2]
When we have a problem or two
Can't you see I'm tryin'
When I see you smilin' like that
Makes me change my mind

[Chorus]
You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

Whitney - No Woman (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-08-02 | http://www.whitneytheband.com

--LYRICS--

I left drinking on the city train
To spend some time on the road
Then one morning I woke up in LA
Caught my breath on the coast
I've been going through a change
I might never be sure
I'm just walking in a haze
I'm not ready to turn

[Chorus]
No woman
No woman

[Verse 2]
Midnight driving through the bay
Going back on the road
Coming up and I wish I could stay
I've been sleeping alone
I've been going through a change
I might never be sure
I'm just walking in a haze
I'm not ready to turn

[Chorus]
No woman
No woman

Dr. Dog - Broken Heart (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-04-24 | Lyrics on screen

http://www.drdogmusic.com

--LYRICS--

I never really had a broken heart
I always played it kinda close to my chest
Love for me's just been a walk in the park
It doesn't really matter
I never really mattered
I never really had a broken heart
Such a shock to me
What looks to me like people going through the motions
But when it's over their hearts are broken

[Chorus:]
I'm fine on the shelf
She really loved him, I couldn't see it though
He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no
I'm fine on the shelf
She really loved him, I couldn't see it though
He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

Freedom from love
Freedom from the heartache
[x4]

I never really had a broken heart
You don't believe me, just look at my chest
The way some people like to run and hide
I never really, really
I never really

I never really had a broken heart
I've never really ever been undone
It's just playing house
Two can do it, you can do it two

[Chorus]

[Chorus x2]

Noah and the Whale - 2 Atoms in a Molecule (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-04-21 | Lyrics on screen.

Last night I had a dream we were inseparably entwined
Like a piece of rope made out of two pieces of vine
Held together, holding each other with no one else in mind
Like 2 atoms in a molecule inseparably combined

But then I woke from the dream to realise I was alone
A tragic event I must admit but let's not be overblown
I'm not trying to write a love song just a sad, pathetic moan
Maybe I just need a change, maybe I just need a new cologne

So now I look at love like being stabbed in the heart
You torture each other from day to day and then one day you part
Most of the time it's misery but there's some joy at the start
Oh for that I'd say it's worth it, just use a blade that's short and sharp on me

If love is just a game then how come it's no fun?
If love is just a game how come I've never won?
I guess maybe it's possible I might be playing it wrong
And that's why every time I roll the dice I always come undone

Electric President - Safe and Sound (Lyrics)

Josh Manuel 2017-04-21 | Lyrics on screen.

You took your hits with the bruises on the soles of
your feet
Well who's to say if they're deserved? But you're
turning reckless now
I heard you saying through your teeth, that you'll take
them down first

But I saw you flinch, when the doctors got the claws in
you
I saw your smile start to crack
It's not so funny when you're sunk and there ain't
nothing you can do
And your options are all dead ends

But there's no way out
I'll let you build your home with me till the clocks
run down
When your looks run out
Call me and I will come and fix you get your feet on
the ground
When there's no way out
Call me and I will come and bury you all safe and sound

And all this time you've been drifting out with the
tide my friend

But you can have what's mine if it helps you stay
afloat
If I close my eyes I can't watch you drown anymore my
friend
But I'll tell you lies if it helps you sleep at night
And the more we fight, the more we don't get right
And the more we fight, the more we don't get right

Heard they broke you
That you gave in
That you dropped
And the fight had left you

But don't you worry
Makes no difference
From the start
Your options were all dead ends

When there's no way out
I'll let you build your home with me till the clocks
run down
When your looks run out
Call me and I will come and fix you get your feet on
the ground
When there's no way out
Call me and I will come and bury you all safe and sound

Radical Face - Wrapped in Piano Strings (Lyrics)

--LYRICS--

I saw your father in the hall
His ghost is living in the walls
I heard him crying while you slept
I heard him breaking things after you left

I watched you crawl into my bed
With curses spilling from your head
You said "We're just the walking dead"
So I pulled the trigger and we floated off

Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Into the air
Up in the air
We're in the air
Up in the air
Up in the air

I used to worry about the time
That I lost my teeth along the line
So I carved the apple from my eye
And gave it to you before I went away

Blood ran into the kitchen sink
Your hand and arms are running pink
I sat and watched you as your ring
Slipped off and rolled across the kitchen floor

They cut your eyes wide open
And bore into your precious head
My reach don't go that far dear
But please oh please don't let them in

I sank into the sea
Wrapped in piano strings
Few words could open me
But you knew them all

Now I just sleep beneath your floor
My ghost just tries to keep you warm
I've seen the end, I've lost the war
One day you'll join me here just like the rest

I hear the engines
They're roaring in our mouths
The smell of creatures
Are falling tooth and nail to get out

I see the airplanes
They're pouring from the chest
They fill the air
And burn and bury just like the rest
