Bob Seger - Against the Wind (Forrest Gump • 1994)
it seems like yesterday but it was long ago. janey was lovely, she was the queen of my nights there in the darkness with the radio playing low. and the secrets that we shared, the mountains that we moved caught like a wildfire out of control til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove. and i remember what she said to me, how she swore that it never would end. i remember how she held me oh so tight.
wish i didn't know now what i didn't know then. against the wind, we were running against the wind. we were young and strong, we were running against the wind. and the years rolled slowly past and i found myself alone, surrounded by strangers i thought were my friends. i found myself further and further from my home and i guess i lost my way, there were oh so many roads. i was living to run and running to live, never worried about pain or even how much i owed. moving eight miles a minute for months at a time, breaking all of the rules that would bend. i began to find myself searching, searching for shelter again and again. against the wind, a litle something against the wind. i found myself seeking shelter against the wind. well those drifter days are past me now, i've got so much more to think about. deadlines and commitments. what to leave in, what to leave out. against the wind, i'm still runnin' against the wind. i'm older now and still running against the wind. well i'm older now and still running against the wind.
TV On The Radio - DLZ (Breaking Bad • 2008)
congratulations on the mess you've made of things; on trying to reconstruct the air and all it brings. and oxidation is the compromise you own but this is beginning to feel like the dog wants a bone. you force your fire and then you falsify your deeds. your methods dot the disconnect from all your creeds. and fortune strives to fill the vaccuum that it feeds but this is beginning to feel like the dog's lost the lead. this is beginning to feel like the long winded blues of the never. this is beginning to feel like it's curling up slowly and finding a throat to choke. this is beginning to feel like the long winded blues of the never, barely controlled locomotive consuming the picture and blowing the crows to smoke. this is beginning to feel like the long winded blues of the never. static explosion devoted to crushing the broken and shoving their souls to ghost. eternalised. objectified. you set your sights so high. your structure's fine, my dust is better. your victim flies to high all to catch a bird's eye view of who's next. never you mind, death professor. your shocks are fine, my struts are better. your fiction flies so high, y'all could use a doctor. who's sick, who's next? never you mind, death professor. electrified, my love is better. it's crystallized, so am i. all could be the diamond fused with who's next. this is the beginning to feel like the dawn of a loser forever.
Fever Ray - If I Had a Heart (Vikings • 2013)
this will never end cause i want more. more, give me more, give me more. this will never end cause i want more. more, give me more, give me more.
if i had a heart i could love you. if i had a voice i would sing. after the night when i wake up, i'll see what tomorrow brings. if i had a voice i would sing. dangling feet from window frame, will they ever ever reach the floor? more, give me more, give me more. crushed and filled with all i found underneath and inside just to come around. more, give me more, give me more. if i had a voice i would sing.
Phil Collins - Two Worlds (Tarzan • 1999)
put your faith in what you most believe in. two worlds, one family. trust your heart, let fate decide to guide these lives we see. a paradise untouched by man within a world blessed with love. a simple life, they live in peace. softly tread the sand below your feet now. two worlds, one family. trust your heart, let fate decide to guide these lives we see.
beneath the shelter of the trees, only love can enter here. a simple life, they live in peace. raise your head up, lift high the load, take strength from those that need you. build high the walls, build strong the beams. a new life is waiting but danger's no stranger here. no words describe a mother's tears. no words can heal a broken heart. a dream is gone, but where there's hope. somewhere something is calling for you. two worlds, one family. trust your heart, let fate decide to guide these lives we see.
