The song "Ships In The Night" describes how a couple fights to make the things work out between them! If you read the lyrics, eventually you will find yourself in those words!

Mat Kearney - Ships In The Night

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove who’s right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light

Like ships in the night letting cannonballs fly
Say what you mean and it turns to a fight
Fists fly from my mouth as it turns south
You’re down the driveway
I’m on the couch
Chasing your dreams since the violent fifth grade
Trying to believe in your silent own way
'Cause we’ll be okay, I’m not going away
Like you watched at fourteen as it went down the drain
Your pops stayed the same and your moms moved away
How many of our parents seem to make it anyway
We’re just fumbling through the gray
Trying to find a heart that’s not walking away

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close

Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
Just wasting time
Trying to prove who’s right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If its just you and me
Trying to find the light
Like ships in the night
You're passing me by
You're passing me by
Like ships in the night

I’m at the airport waitin’ on the second plane
Had to pack, you had cramps, 
And I was late heading to a red carpet
They wont know my name
Riding in silence
All that we wanna say
'Bout to board when you call on the phone
You say I’m sorry I’ll be waitin’ at home
Feels like we’re burning this out on our own
Trying to find our way down a road we don’t know

Turn the lights down low
Walk these halls alone
We can feel so far
From so close

I’m gonna find my way
Back to your side

Smallpools-Dreaming

I see the place that we've been locked together
Together
Like we were something more
And it felt like maybe we could last forever
Forever

But you led 'em to our hideout
Forced their way inside
Now they want us to surrender
Us to surrender
But I could go all night
Right here between their crossfire
We'll send them up a message
I'll send the message
We're saying, "Give it up, give it up"

We've got no place to go
Caught up in the rodeo
Oh no, please God, tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run
They've all got loaded guns
Oh no, please God, tell me we're dreaming
Please God, tell me we're dreaming

Wait for the dust to settle down around us
Around us
And stick to what we know
I think the air is finally safe to breathe again
To breathe again

The world is in your palm now
So take a breath and calm down
'Cause you have been selected
You've been selected
A few will ever find out
And if you don't see why
Well, at least you've got your nest egg
You've got your nest egg
So live it up, live it up

We've got no place to go
Caught up in the rodeo
Oh no, please God, tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run
They've all got loaded guns
Oh no, please God, tell me we're dreaming
Please God, tell me we're dreaming...
We're saying, "Give it up, give it up"

Woah-oh-oh-oh...

But you led 'em to our hideout
Forced their way inside
Now they want us to surrender
Us to surrender
But I could go all night
Right here between their crossfire
We'll send them up a message
I'll send the message
We're saying, "Give it up, give it up"

We've got no place to go
Caught up in the rodeo
Oh no, please God, tell me we're dreaming
We've got nowhere to run
They've all got loaded guns
Oh no, please God, tell me we're dreaming
Please God, tell me we're dreaming...

The Kooks – How'd You Like That

Well, I was sleeping

Only in my head
Slipping in and out of time

And I was lifting
Always higher
And the women of heaven sang

They were singing
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
I like it

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
It lifts me up

What better time to
Take a ride with you
Through the universe tonight

The look of silence
Much like your face
And the symphony that helps me sing

They were singing,
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
I liked it

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
I only just let go

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
I like it

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
It lifts me up

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?

How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?

I feel for what you feel for me
Let's work together
(How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?)
Take it out across the sea
To America
(How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?)

I feel for you what you feel for me,
so let's work together
(How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?
How'd you like that?)
Take it out across the sea
Let's work together

Nightmare & The Cat-Be Your Own God

"We are Nightmare and the Cat... and that is that." This is exactly how the members of this band introduce themselves on their facebook page! And it's enough, because they are saying much through their music! 5 members are making insane vibes in LA and they share it with us by publishing their EP "Simple".  Here is a song about standing on your feet by your own! Remember the "Nightmare and the Cat", they came to stay!

Nightmare & The Cat-Be Your Own God

Young guns
Safe in your hide and seek
The longer you sleep
The longer that you dream

Now don’t fear
The vines of passion climbing swiftly
The spine that holds you straight and tall
It holds you straight and tall

You can be your own God
You can be your own God
You can be your own God (Believe)
You can be your own God

When grown ups
Are full of holes that can’t be sewn up
They take advantage of their kin
Because children have the softest skin
Just close your eyes
Just close your eyes

You can be your own God
You can be your own God
You can be your own God (Believe)
You can be your own God

Because I was on a low you know
Now I’m coming up
I was on a low for long
It wasn’t that hard
I was on a low you know
Now I’m coming up
I was on a low you know
I’m coming up

You can be your own God (Believe)
You can be your own God
You can be your own God (Believe)
You can be your own God

Because I was on a low you know
Now I’m coming up
I was on a low for long
It wasn’t that hard
You can be your only low
My own God
You can be your…

The Civil Wars - Dust to Dust

It's not your eyes
It's not what you say
It's not your laughter that gives you away
You're just lonely
You've been lonely, too long

All your actin'
Your thin disguise
All your perfectly delivered lies
They don't fool me
You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the wall, you've built around
And we can light a match and burn it down
Let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flame
In front of us
Dust to

You've held your head up
You've fought the fight
You bear the scars
You've done your time
Listen to me
You've been lonely, too long

Let me in the wall, you've built around
And we can light a match and burn them down
And let me hold your hand and dance 'round and 'round the flames
In front of us
Dust to dust

You're like a mirror, reflecting me
Takes one to know one, so take it from me
You've been lonely
You've been lonely, too long
We've been lonely
We've been lonely, too long

James Vincent McMorrow-Cavalier

James Vincent McMorrow was born and raised in north Dublin. He started by playing the drums in a hardcore rock band, after that he went into his bedroom and started to teach himself how to be a singer and a songwriter! Now he is famous for the high notes he is able to hit and for his lyrics. In my opinion "Early In The Morning" is an unforgettable album! Each song has an amazing meaning. But this talented man came up with another masterpiece, the album "Post Tropical". "Cavalier" is the first track that gets released and judging by that I think that McMorrow hasn't lost his talent at all! Τhe song speaks for itself! Check out the lyrics and the line "i remember my first love" will haunt you down for sure! Enjoy :)

James Vincent McMorrow-Cavalier

speak until the dust
settles in the same specific place
light refused to go
drink it from a cast and iron plate
instead of cold milk
was offered unripe
instead of silence
considered craven

nothing made it seem
hidden where the aging soil was pure
pressed against the crease
mountains become fragrant at the source
how can you stand this
exotic angle
i read it somewhere
that they would lie still

i remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
i remember my first love
i remember my first love

unrelied i was called
missing teeth out of favour
nickel beach it was all
gathering by the sundial

i woke hard
i woke heavy
for the half way stop
five whole hours in
when i woke hard
i woke heavy with the live or parts

i remember how cloth hung
flexing with the forest clung
half waist and high raised arms
kicking at the slightest form
i remember my first love
i remember my first love

i remember my first love

The Killers-Shot At The Night

Once in a lifetime, the suffering of fools
To find our way home, to break in these palms
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious

Once in a lifetime, the breaking of the roof
To find that our home, has long been out grown
Draw me a life line, 'cause honey I got nothing to lose
Once in a lifetime (Once in a lifetime)
Once in a lifetime

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Look at my reflection in the mirror
Underneath the power of the light
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a shot at the night
I feel like I'm losing the fight

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night
Give me a moment, some kinda mysterious
Give me a shot at the night

Wild Belle-Another Girl

I lose sleep, I lose sleep.
Too much I've seen.
And I weep, yes, I weep,
Cut your lips upon her body.

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I treat you right?

If I was so gone, why didn't you say?
You keep me waiting by.
On the floor, you know I'd crawl,
Just to change your mind.
If I lock the door just to stall you for a moment,
I won't get you, even if I tried.

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I treat you right?

I'm just another girl, another one.
I'm just another girl, another one.
I'm just another girl, just another one,
I'm just another girl, looking for love.

I'm just another one of your experimentations,
You can turn me out, but I'm just another girl.

I'm just another girl, another one.
I'm just another girl, another one.
I'm just another girl, just another one,
I'm just another girl, looking for love.

I lose sleep, I lose sleep.
Too much I've seen.
And I weep, yes, I weep,
Cut your lips upon her body, oh

Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I
Didn't I treat you right?

I'm just another girl, another one.
I'm just another girl, another one.
I'm just another girl, another one,
I'm just another girl, looking for love.
I'm just another girl, looking for love.
I'm just another girl, looking for love.
I'm just another girl, just another one.

Snow Ghosts - And The World Was Gone

You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
You wade through the water
Slowly your hands grow numb
I wish you felt me falling
I wish you'd watched over me
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
And the world was gone


I run through your head
Loud with a nightmare
Brushing your skin with my breathing
Turn out the light
And every nightlight
Run you can run you can run
I blink and the world was gone
I blink and the world was gone
I blink and the world was gone


You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
You wade through the water
Slowly your hands grow numb
I wish you felt me falling
I wish you'd watch over me
You said you'd wait forever
But I blinked
And the world was gone
And the world was gone
And the world was gone

WALK THE MOON-Tightrope

I am so sorry I don't know much about this band. I only know that their name "WALK THE MOON" was taken from the song "Walking on the Moon" by Police.

WALK THE MOON-Tightrope

Easy now, with my heart
Easy now, oh with my heart

Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope
You walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This heart is burning up
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This heart is burning up

Careful now, ooh with my head
I said careful now, what'd you do to my head
Well make your mind up, make your little mind up
To each his own, to each his own, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This heart is burning up
I said, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This heart is burning up

In my bed, I'm rolling over
I'm tangling up in chains on the swings on the set on the night that we met
And now the beads of water, move up the glass
You speak your mind, and you can not take it back

Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope
Walk a tightrope, walk a little tightrope

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
I said oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh this heart is burning up
It's, it's burning up

Matt & Kim-Let's Go

I was up in my head
For everything I said
Quote a million words
They're all made with lead

I bought a megaphone
To use inside your home
Forgot the batteries
But that's the old me

Shouting out of my windows rolled down
Cause I don't care anymore
Said I don't care

Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!

(Ooo)

Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!

Standing on the top of a parking lot
I gave it all I had
Show me what you got

There's some things I found
That make so much sound
All these words
I don't need them now

Shouting out of my windows rolled down
Cause I don't care anymore
Said I don't care

Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!

(Ooo)

Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!

Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Oh say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Oh say what you wanna say

Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!

Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Oh say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Say what you wanna say
Make it mean everything
Oh say what you wanna say

Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!
Let's go!

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Pictures

The young Benjamin Francis Leftwich, was only born in 1989 in York,UK. Velvet-like voice and great songwriting skills make the combination of certain success. His debut album "Last Smoke Before The Snowstorm" is already running wild and inside you will find a few of the best diamonds. His song "Pictures" can easily haunt you. To me, this song is talking about death and  how we are scared about it. The music video is amazingly directed and it's full of snakes! Watch the music video and read the lyrics here.

Benjamin Francis Leftwich – Pictures

If you crash your car into,
Your best friends house,
Would you be quiet as,
Words come out of their mouth.

Stop, don't do it
I have been waiting for it,
Stop, I knew it would come.

If you find a god next to,
Your girlfriends bed,
Would it be hard to,
Sort out your spinning head.

Stop, don't say that dear,
That you wanted him here,
Stop, don't give him a clear.

Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them.

If you are afraid don't be,
I have the whole thing planned,
We’ll start in the ocean baby,
And when we find the land,
We will be thankful to,
All of our friends,
That they didn't leave us,
As we got to the end.

Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them,
Take a picture of them.

If you find your faith in,
Your parents god,
Don't be so quick to,
Point out the flaws in it.

You've been around and you've seen,
The way that things work,
But you need a compass to,
Get around your house.
