Just Like Heaven

Ludwig

Is there some place I can rest my head?
I've walked for miles, until I became another
Haunted mind
An unsympathetic narcissistic oxygen thief.

'Cus its bad advice, which makes one high
We know that's the obvious thing.
But its good advice, to say goodnight.
We know that's the obvious thing.

Is there some place I can lay my head?
I've crawled for miles, until I became another
Man of rhyme
An easy going, lover-knowing good friend of mine.

But its bad advice, which makes one hide
We know that's the obvious thing.
But its good advice, which makes me cry.
We say that's the obvious thing.

Is there some place I can clear my head?
I've walked for miles, until I saw another
Warning sign
A space invading, memory fading figment of time

'Cus its bad advice, which makes one cry
We know that's the obvious thing.
But its good advice, to say goodbye
We know that's the obvious thing.

It's bad advice, which says goodnight
We know that's the obvious thing.
We'll know its time, to say goodbye
We know it's the obvious thing.

Good Advice (Acoustic)

Open your eyes, I can tell you are awake.
Give your head a shake.
Open your mind I've got some thoughts to share.
And my hopes and dreams will be in there.
Take a little time your heart will realign.
And take you to the endline.
So let's go a little faster than we did before.
Until we hit the floor.

We rise, once we have learnt to grow.
We lie, and what we say we make it so.
So we try, to sing the only songs we know.
'Til we die, 'cus it's the only way to go.

Open your heart, although a little late.
When there's nothing left to take.
A count to three, it's finally vendredi. 
But the weekend's showing showers.
Take a little time your mind will redefine.
What you consider is the endline. 
So let's go a little faster than we did before.
Until we're breaking down the door.

We rise, once we have learnt to grow.
We lie, and what we say we make it so.
So we try, to sing the only songs we know.
'Til we die, 'cus it's the only way to go.

So take the rest of everything you had,
and leave before this world turns mad.
I'd wanna come with you, but it seems like God has different plans for us every time. 

So take the rest of everything you had,
and leave before this world turns mad.
I'd wanna come with you, but it seems like God has different plans for us every time. 

So take the rest of everything you had,
and leave before this world turns mad.
I'd wanna come with you, but it seems like God has different plans for us every time. 

(We rise, once we have learnt to grow.)
(We lie, and what we say we make it so.)
(So we try, to sing the only songs we know.)
('Til we die, 'cus it's the only way to go.)

Different Plans

Whenever I see love,
I want to take her by the hand
Like a stranger, in a stranger land.
My love only grows,
No candle in the wind
But an inferno, through the greenest of lands

And I see love,
Its growing in the ground
Take a look at the love that we found.

Whenever love sees me,
Am I losing my grip on reality?
Its a caring, kind of staring gaze.
But love she always flows,
No candle in the wind,
But a furnace in the greenest of hands.

And I see love,
Its growing in the ground
Look at the love that we found
Look at the love that we found

My love and I aren't friends
We simply can't pretend
We simply can't pretend
But love is all around
You couldn't hide it if you tried
We're all neighbours in the strangest of lands

And I see love
(It's growing in the ground)
And I see love
(It's growing in the ground)
Look at the love that we found
Look at the love that we found

Whenever I see love,
I want to take her by the hand.
Like a stranger in a stranger land.

See Love

Coldplay.
From their 2014 Ghost Stories album.
A rough acoustic cover.
For a good friend who likes this song.

The writing is written on the wall,
the reckoning will come for us all.
The first place that you land will be the
first place that I wanna stand.

The other worlds that you draw,
will capture everything that we ever saw.
The warm words that you speak,
will be the reckoning for the weak.

Can't say you won't be ready when the time comes,
and I know that you'll hold us steady when the time comes.

You're finest and complete,
and your tone is quite the feat.
And as you're reckoning on a star,
don't forget me or who we are.

The second you should fall,
will be the reckoning of us all.
The last place that you land,
will be the first place that I wanna stand.

Can't say you won't be ready when the time comes,
and I know that you'll hold us steady when the time comes.

The second you should fall,
will be the reckoning of us all.
The last place that you land,
will be the first place that I wanna stand.

The Carpenter

Belle and Sebastian cover.

A song for my dear friend Ethan, and the rest of 22Queensway.

Had fun making this one, but nothing ever comes close to the original.

I apology for the low pitch in my voice. By the time I'd written the music in G it was too late.

If you can't understand the lyrics, that's okay, I can't either.

I used:

AKAI MPK mini keyboard
Reaper DAW software
TAL noisemaker
H2 Zoom mic

The Boy With The Arab Strap

A cover of The Nationals song from their album, Boxer.

An underrated song by this band. The original is beautiful.

It reminds me of my first year of university, and all of the friends that I met during that time.

Start A War

Lyrics:
Nevertheless you were always the best at life,
until you used your mind again
And the colours, they will hide.
Until they find their eyes again.

Red and Blue, enough for you, time to go home.
Black and Grey odyssey, 'I will go with them'.
Close your eyes you can see outside the window.

Nevertheless you were always the best at life,
until you used your mind again
And the colours, they will hide.
Until they find their eyes again.

Red and Blue, enough for you, time to go home.
Black and Grey odyssey, 'I will go with them'.
Close your eyes you can see outside the window.

And all the colours, they stand and sleep for a while
An interesting choice of pastime, the way that they leave their past behind.
And all the colours, they stand and dream for a while
An interesting choice of pastime, the way that they leave their past behind.

Nevertheless you were always the best at life,
until you used your mind again.

Lyrics:
Oh Momotaro,
do you hear the cries of the West side's drum? Tsar's people move.
But never you mind, got it all figured out,
we'll take them to the place where the East side's song men freely choose.

And this is my confession, if I gave the wrong impression,
it's the way I like to say my goodbyes.
But I don't know where to go; a mystery of the soul
paint it black and red there's demons overhead.
Stranded on the Will to try, but soons I'll fly.
