Angus and Julia Stone - Death Defying Acts

This is the one and only duo I really wanted to see them perform together again. Angus and Julia Stone are back with a marvelous song. Afte the single "Heart Beats Slow" they've just released the next best thing "Death Defying Acts". The dark and deep sound and the mystical Julia is bacl. You can clearly listen to Angus striking this electric guitar with a solo that works as a rocket in the song. The video isn't out yet but you can preorder the album titled under their names. Even if they said they wouldn't perform as a duo again, Julia claimed on MusicFeeds that she went after a long time and watched Angus performing then she jumped up on stage to have a few oldies sang. The rest are already known. Rubin got them under production and judging by these two singles the album will be mindblowing again. We are having the lyrics of Death Defying Acts exclusively here. Forgive a few mistakes. English is not our mother tongue and we did our best.

Angus and Julia Stone - Death Defying Acts 

Never perform a dead defying act
And I won't fall I'll brake
I can save the very small 
I'm everything but I'm nothing at all

You can be my light to the sky
why do you try to make me better than the devine
Isn't a shame don't giving a name 
let me remain
let me remain

I'm everything that I'll ever be
I'm everthing that I've ever seen 
I'm everything that slowly falls
I'm everything but I am nothing at all

even perform a dead defying miracle
for someone with the chemicals to believe
I'm brave but I 've bravely understated 
I can save you from what you've taken
and leave

[...]
What have you done 
is the limit to the prices we've won
Isn't it shame don't give it a name
let me remain 
let me remain

I'm everything that I'll ever be
I'm everthing that I've ever seen 
I'm everything that slowly falls
I'm everything but I am nothing at all

I will perform a dead defying magic show
for those of you who wanna go some place else
I'm brave but I can't save you 
from the things you won't change for yourself

You can be my light to the moon
what are you doing?
what are you doing?
Isn't a shame don't give it a name
let me remain
let me remain...

White Denim-Pretty Green

 Those attractive men form together  the "White Denim", a psychedelic-rock band from Texas. The White Denim are mostly known for their experimental rock vibes and the home-based recordings. All of their songs have a strange and weird structure but they are a good trick for your mind. If you are into acts like The Black Keys then this is a band you should listen. "Pretty Green" is a track from their sixth album "Corsicana Lemonade", which was released in 2013. The music video is one of the weirdest videos I have watched and the song itself is about moving forward. I don't have musch to say about them other than you should listen to this music. It leads you to new sounds. Enjoy on Lyrics On My Wall :) 

White Denim-Pretty Green

Right before I met you
Things were getting pretty green
I was on an upswing though
I could hardly even think
I was looking out, looking out

Well it took me several mornings
With my throat in a mangled knot
Sounding out my virtues
And my vices and other thoughts
Struggling to remember the most recent
Things that I forgot

Well I was looking out, looking out
Looking out, looking out

When you're always on
You feel defeated
So your guardians have lost
In a foreign town, you could hear that singing
It wouldn't wake up a sound
When you could that singing
It wouldn't wake up a sound

Carbon copy portraits
In a box that I was shufflin' through
Stuffed with paper memories
That are only partly true
Wel i've been gettin' a feelin'
About someone a lot like you

Looking out, looking out
Looking out, looking out

When there's classic meltdowns
And devastating rain
Hurried up for waiting
More times than I care to say
Well it's clear to us now
It's starting to change
Moving on, moving on
Moving forward
Moving on

Stu Larsen - Thirteen Sad Farewells

Stu Larsen is a probably a guy you have seen in many music videos of Passenger. He is a good friend of him and a very talented and promising artist. Larsen comes from Queensland, Australia, though he has no fixed address. He chose to wander and explore so he spends his time travelling. "Vagabond" is his debut album and you can see how the title represents himself. The first single is out already and the music video is the proof of years wandering. It was shot in different places by Jarrad Seng-another good friend of Larsen and Passenger. You will catch them travelling all together often. "Thirteen Sad Farewells" is a song about goodbyes. Can you handle them good enough? I can't. Check it out on Lyrics On My Wall and rembember to preorder his album Vagabond from here.

Stu Larsen - Thirteen Sad Farewells

You've been seeing me through your grown up eyes and your sweet disguise
And you've been running free with your lullabies and those same old lies
Darling I should've said goodbye
Before you even caught my eye
No I can't better see this die
Thirteen sad farewells my darling
Thirteen sad farewells
I will see you no more darling
I've used all my farewells

You've been seeing her
With her pretty eyes
And her lovely lies
And I've been waiting here
I've been killing time
Hoping you will be mine
Darling I should've said goodbye
Before you even caught my eye
No I can't better see this die
Thirteen sad farewells my darling
Thirteen sad farewells
I will see you no more darling
I've used all my farewells

Thirteen sad farewells my darling
Thirteen sad farewells
I will see you no more darling
You have used all your farewells
You have used all your farewells
You have used all your farewells

Panama-Magic

This is my discovery for a happy Friday. Panama is a 5 piece band from Australia. Their music carreer is too young but their future seems great. Jarrah McCleary was playing the piano since 6 years old. When he grew up he formed the successful rock band "Dirty Secrets" but when they got split he moved to Sydney and started writing new music sad songs but uplifting melodies. This is exactly how "Magic" sounds like, a song about how McCleary felt when his band broke up. The band came up with "Panama" as a band name after watching the movie "Drive". The band meets great success and the reviews on their last work are stunning. You can have an idea of how they started here.

Panama-Magic

I wish I could
If there was some way to be back there
The things that you chose
Hold on to those thoughts again
There’s nothing left but doubt
Take me back to the place where I thought my heart was free

You know I would
If there was some way to get back there

Can you carry on
For one more year now
Can you carry on
I know there’s magic

Let it all go
You’ve got to give yourself some hope

Let Bygones be Bygones and so forth and so on
I remember it so clear
Take me back to the place where I thought my heart was free
You’ve got to stop fooling yourself
Can’t pretend anymore

Can you carry on
For one more year now
Can you carry on
I know there’s magic

Can you carry on
For one more year now
Can you carry on
I know there’s magic

(Won’t let me out)

Yeah it’s magic

(It’s magic)

Carry on (it’s magic) 

James Vincent McMorrow-Gold

The statistics show that you really love the new album by James Vincent McMorrow because two of the songs of the tracklist are already in the top 5 of the posts on Lyrics On My Wall. Today, we have the chance to post the BRAND NEW music video for "Gold" which is premiered at noisey.com. McMorrow has a poetic way to write lyrics and he is not afraid to experiment between the music genres, without giving a damn about being labeled. What is excellent about this particular song is the melody and the dramatic sense in it. You could easily imagine it as a soundtrack to the most dramatic scenes of a heartbreaking movie. Some people just love that! Watch the great music video directed by Emma J Doyle featuring one talented roller skater old enough to disprove the last line of the track: "Time wasn't the only coward".

James Vincent McMorrow-Gold

how was the cold
along the path i determined to hold
although it coiled round a perilous wing
blinded by hot gas and carving off steam
there was still smoke

burnt in the grass
reclaim a portion of desolate south
add in the stirrings and long lost fatigue
barrels that hide us in hair fallen heed
then became sound

i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay
i wasn't accorded a stop
always in it so much more
i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay
time wasn't the only cavernous

I hope my contour charts show up via rivers
out to the only ocean
there's something peaceful that goes out via river
out to the ocean
i was peaceful standing, i was open

i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay
i wasn't accorded a stop
always in it so much more
i wasn't afforded a love
covered up in hard earned clay

time wasn't the only cavernous
time wasn't the only cavernous
time wasn't the only cavernous
time wasn't the only coward

Foster The People-Best Friend

Yesterday was National Best Friend Day, so we thought it would be nice to dedicate this post to this sweet thing called Friendship. We chose "Best Friend" by Foster The People. For those who don't know them, Foster the People is an indie-pop band from the USA. They were only formed in 2009 and after struggling in the music industry, they produced the massive hit "Pumped Up Kicks", which led them to the top of every music chart. Their second album "Supermodel" is out now and Best Friend has released with a rather weird music video. Dedicated to all the weird but strong friendships out there. Check it out on Lyrics On My Wall.

Foster The People-Best Friend

(When your best friend's all strung out)
You do everything you can
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah, it comes in waves but it's hardest from the start

Feelings sleeping in the field again
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
It's beginning to end
Premonitions smiling in the dark
I can see, I can see, I can see
The story's starting to arc
It dries up

I've been a spoken word
I've been a river bed
I've been a rabid force
And let it flow out from within
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
And color's so oh

(When your best friend's all strung out)
You do everything you can
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah you say it's what you need
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start

Waves in theta sleeping into dreams
I can feel, I can feel, I can feel
The celestial beings
Wilted pleasures leave you with a breath
I can see, I can see, I can see
The beauty in the mess
It dries up

I've been a river bed
I tried to salt the wound
I've carried more than I can
I feel I've got a lot to prove
Sometimes it feels like I only dream in black and white
And color's so oh

(When your best friend's all strung out)
You do everything you can
'Cause you're never gonna let it get 'em down
(When you find it all around)
Yeah you say it's what you need
And hide your eyes when you're close to me
(With your feet up in the clouds)
You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you want to go
(With your head hanging upside down)
Well, it comes to waves but it's hardest from the start

I am here, no matter where you are
I'm waiting here with open arms
No matter where you are
Sometimes you have to wait until it passes by
Like a satellite or star
No matter where you are

(When your best friend's all strung out)
You know it!
Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh
(With your feet up in the clouds)
Oh yeah, you know it!
Uh uh uh uh, uh uh uh uh
(When your best friend's all strung out)
Oh yeah, you know it!
You oughta know that I'm here no matter where you want to go
(With your head hanging upside down)
Oh yeah, you know it!
That's how you know
That your best friend's all strung out

Natalie McCool-Wind Blows Harder

Our old love Natalie McCool from Liverpool is back with a new powerful song. "Wind Blows Harder" is a fresh song with a power of the oxygen in it. McCool has written the song and when you hear it you instantly get hooked and you start moving to the beat. As the song has that power over you, that's how it describes the power that a person can have over someone else. The refreshing vocals and the repeated line "the wind blows harder,the clouds come rollin'" can either send you on the beach under the sun or in the woods running. If McCool needed to prove why she won the award for Best Female Artist in Liverpool in 2013, then this new work is definetely the best way to do it. Her new single will be launched on 11th June. You can preorder it from here. You can also read what Natalie said to LOMW last year! She was the first to give a long-distance interview to our music site! Enjoy it here: http://www.lyricsonmywall.com/2013/05/interview-natalie-mccool.html

Natalie McCool-Wind Blows Harder

The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us
The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us

I hold my tongue and keep my eyes away from you
You hold your gaze and they become a darker blue
I feel the storm is coming but where are my defences
I let my wits surround me but don't know where my sense is

The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us
The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us

You flip your coin and it spins so fast it fills my head
And as it lands I see a side of you I dread
You come so close I see the heat on the horizon
I feel the thunder underneath this awful silence

The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us
The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us

The wind blows
The wind blows

Wind blows harder
Clouds come rollin'
Wind blows harder
Clouds come rollin'

The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us
The wind blows harder, rivers flood the clouds come rolling in on us

So I hold my tongue

Delay Trees-About Brothers

In 2007 a group of young boys started to play slow songs in different places each time. This was the beginning of a new dream-pop band from Helsinki, Finland. The "Delay Trees" is that band. It is not the first -or the last- time, we post about a band from Finland. We had the chance to talk with the New Tigers in the past, too. Even though, we like to post new songs, today we are about to post their first hit "About Brothers". The music video is very sweet and interesting. I am sure you are going to feel your heart warm again! A love story that has its roots in our childhood can only haunt us forever.

Delay Trees-About Brothers

Japanese cartoons that I've always tried to avoid

Showing me feelings and scenes from a dream that I don't know
I'm loving a robot; my brother has turned to steel
How should I feel?

We've never spoken of things that we truly share
You've started a family, a home and I don't feel I'm welcome there
But let's bury the past in the sand, down where it belongs
Don't say I'm not yours

I have always known
Our childhood was long
I have always known
We will be strong

Timber Timbre - Hot Dreams

You can only feel love from the first time you listen to the Timber Timbre from Canada. The band began as a solo but now seems more complete with the addition of two members. It's the only band I know that has rehearsed 3 times in their whole story. The outcome though says that the chemistry is something given for them. Their last album Hot Dreams has just released by Arts&Crafts and their blues-folk music style is able to blow your mind. With the nostalgia from the 50s, you will catch yourself thinking about a good Noir Film. YouTube has age-restriction to the music video of Hot Dreams, though there is nothing extreme in it. The lyrics are talking about someone who really needs to love and to be loved by a partner... To me, the pole-dancer in this music video with her face expressions and the body moves "cries" for some love. True love. I am waiting for your opinion on facebook.com/lyricsonmywall

I wanna dance, I wanna dance
I wanna dance with a black woman
I wanna still, I wanna still
I wanna still my mind
And I want a chance, I want a chance
I want another chance
To distill
To distill their time

And I wanna write, I wanna write, I wanna write
To someone so true
I wanna wake, I wanna wake, I wanna wake
From hot dreams, hot dreams of you
Oh hot dreams
(Hot dreams)
(Hot dreams)

I wanna rise, I wanna rise
I wanna rise up beside you
I want to be, I want to be
I want to be a champion in your eyes
And I will follow through, follow through
On all my promises and threats to you, babe
Hot streams, hot streams
Will fork and divide, fork and divide

I wanna take, I wanna take, I wanna take
Take all of your air
I wanna find, I wanna find, I wanna find
Another daydream, another nightmare
I wanna lie, I wanna lie, I wanna lie
Lie me down in your stream
I wanna wake, I wanna wake, I wanna wake
From hot dreams
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you, babe (Hot dreams)
I wanna wake from hot dreams of you, babe (Hot dreams)
