(Alphabetical--I just ran through iTunes and picked off things.)
The Arcade Fire--Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)
When everything is dark and cold, what is there to do but run away, and seek comfort in the ones you love?
"We let out hair grow long/ And forget all we used to know."
Bruce Cockburn--"Wondering Where the Lions Are"
Transcendence in the midst of fear. This is Peace's song: choosing to not be afraid any more, choosing not to fight any more, in a world where you have no alternative but to fight, and be afraid.
"I had another dream about lions at the door/ They weren't half as frightening as they were before/ But i'm thinking about eternity"
Bruce Cockburn--"A Dream Like Mine"
How long can you run away, when there's so much in the world that's worth saving?
When you decide that you won't run away any more, how can anything in the universe oppose you?
"When you know just for a moment that it's your time/ Then you can walk with the power of a thousand generations"
Rent-- "I'll Cover You."
Peace and Owl's song. This is love--not the drama, not the angst, but the sure knowledge that when you can't take another step, when you've got nowhere to go, you have a home in someone's heart.
"Live in my house, I'll be your shelter/ Just pay me back with one thousand kisses/ Be my lover, and I'll cover you."
The Guess Who-- "American Woman"
Isn't it irresistible, the lure of luxury, of power? But at what expense? Can you leave all that and run away to the wilderness, knowing that it's the right thing to do? Owl's song.
"I don't need your war machines/ I don't need your ghetto scenes."
Hans Zimmer--"Shaman's Song/ Stones for a thousand years"
Bear's song. Transformation--bitter transformation.
Indigo Girls--"Let it be me"
This is not a fighting song.
"If the world is night/ Shine my life like a light."
Indigo Girls--"Three Hits"
Owl--bound by the things that should have released him.
"Would you trade your words for freedom? That's a barter for a blind man."
John Fogerty--"Fortunate Son"
I've never pretended this was an apolitical novel. ;)
Leonard Cohen--"Anthem"
"I can't run no more with that lawless crowd/ While the killers in high places say their prayers out loud/ But they've summoned up a thundercloud..."
The Refreshments--"Interstate"
"No I don't need a miracle--but I could use a push in the right direction." So could we all.
Rufus Wainwright--"Crumb by Crumb"
Find someone to really trust from your heart, and you can find your way out of the darkest forest...
"Before I've many a time/ knocked a stranger's door/ discretion hardly I'm known for."
