↳ Boats & Birds
(Cover by Soulfully)
By Gregory and the Hawk

I haven’t posted a cover (much less an actual song) in awhile. But I’ve been recently addicted to a song called Boats and Birds— The lyrics are fantastically written, and the meaning of this song is incredibly beautiful. 

If you’ll be my star, I’ll be your sky
You can hide underneath me and come out at night
When I turn jet black and you show off your light
I live to let you shine, I live to let you shine

And you can sky-rocket away from me
And never come back if you find another galaxy
Far from here with more room to fly
Just leave me your stardust to remember you by

If you’ll be my boat, I’ll be your sea
The depth of pure blue just to probe curiosity
Ebbing and flowing and pushed by a breeze
I live to make you free, I live to make you free

But you can set sail to the west if you want to
And past the horizon till I can’t even see you
Far from here where the beaches are wide
Just leave me your wake to remember you by

Kiss Me - Sixpence None the Richer 1/8/12

Oh kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly , beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You’ll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon’s sparkling,
So kiss me

Kiss me down by the broken tree house 
Swing me , upon its hanging tire
Bring, bring , bring your flowered hat
We’ll take the trail marked on your father’s map

Oooh, two covers within the same hour.

This is just a cover of a song I’ve quite for awhile that I’ve liked its tune for. Kind of another one of those “cover junkies” that I like to sing relaxedly for fun. Also a speed cover, done in 5 minutes. Extra 10 for volume adjustments, a lame echo, and nothing more. Usually I sing this with a lot more energy but I guess 12 am’s getting to me, ehh. 8’l 

PS: Still not sleepy enough, so let me kill my ears and yours by singing a favorite song of ours…..

(*Edit: volume adjusted again, this is a new version)

(*Edit2: I just noticed it was cut off, sorry about that! Replaced with final version, whoops)

“Over My Head” - The Fray Cover

(Best with headphones)

I never knew
I never knew that everything was falling through
That everyone I knew was waiting on a queue
To turn and run when all I needed was the truth
But that’s how it’s got to be
It’s coming down to nothing more than apathy
I’d rather run the other way than stay and see
The smoke and who’s still standing when it clears

Everyone knows I’m in
Over my head
Over my head
With eight seconds left in overtime
She’s on your mind
She’s on your mind

Let’s rearrange
I wish you were a stranger I could disengage
Just say that we agree and then never change
Soften a bit until we all just get along
But that’s disregard
Find another friend and you discard
As you lose the argument in a cable car
Hanging above as the canyon comes between
