If I Killed Someone For You (Alec Benjamin cover)

"Sharing a room with the person you want most is like sharing a room with an open fire." - Baz, Chapter 33, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Lyrics:

It doesn't do me any good
To know just the way your hair falls on your pillow
How you always have to sleep with an open window
Even when it's cold outside

It doesn't do me any good
To know the map to every mole and every freckle
Tawny skin, the smell of smoke, a broken vessel
Bronze curls over clear blue eyes

And I can't sleep, unless you're near me
I can't breathe, can you hear me, Snow
Can you hear me, Simon Snow

It doesn't do me any good
To know I'm hopelessly in love and you're out of reach
But there's nothing that can hurt you, not even me
You are so alive

It doesn't do me any good
To know you'll be the death of me when you save the day
But you know I'll go down swinging anyway
You're an open flame

And I can't sleep, unless you're near me
I can't breathe, can you hear me, Snow
Can you hear me, Simon Snow

I'm finally home

Doesn't Do Me Any Good

"I learned about it young—the soulmate spell. (The curse, as it feels right now while I watch Snow seal my fate with every spoonful of vanilla ice cream.)That you can’t ever smell anyone’s farts (or burps too, apparently), unless they’re your soulmates." - Baz, Love Stinks by Caitybug (https://archiveofourown.org/works/29248653)

Lyrics:
It doesn't do me any good
To know just the way the air smells hot and bloaty 
After you've had a glass of milk or a cheese toastie
Makes me want to cry

It doesn't do me any good
To know the stench of flatulence that's just for me 
I'm alone with my nose in misery
Makes me want to die

'Cause I can't breathe When you're near me
Really I can't breathe, can you spare me, Snow
Cut the dairy, Simon Snow 

It doesn't do me any good
When you get a second bowl of that ice cream
That I know I'll still be smelling in my dreams
Love really stinks

And I can't breathe When you're near me
Really I can't breathe, can you spare me, Snow
Cut the dairy, Simon Snow

And you'll never know

Doesn't Do Me Any Good (Love Really Stinks)

Cloudhaven Trailer 1

This piece was inspired by time spent in a park near my apartment. I love this park for the forested trails, the pond with turtles and frogs, and the great variety of birds. It’s nice to feel alone in the forest sometimes. But no matter where you are in the park, you can always hear the sounds of people just out of sight – the ever-present hum of the highway, the planes passing overhead, the announcer at the local high school’s baseball game. It’s hard to truly get away from it all. 

Recent research has suggested that human-made noise has a much greater impact on nature than we previously considered. One species of bird has been found to sing at higher pitches in the city than their more rural counterparts, in order to be heard over the ambient din of the city. In Idaho, when some researchers constructed a phantom highway through a forest by stringing up speakers playing traffic noise, they found that migratory birds tended to avoid the area near the highway noise.

It seems there is no corner of the globe that we have not affected in some way – often through noise or other types of pollution. As a result, there are few (if any) places left that are truly wild. The better we understand the extent of the impact we’ve had on this earth, the closer we will be to learning how to correct past wrongs and prevent further damage. And maybe, one day, we will learn to live as one with Nature.

This is a song I've had kicking around for years. This recording of it is from mid-2000's sometime?
