Three that immediately came to mind: Here Comes the Sun - M. Ward Upward Over the Mountain - Iron & Wine Pink Moon - Nick Drake

This song has no name, but here are the lyrics as they are, as of now. If it helps to picture a genre while you read, think quietly. a knife and fruit in my hands while the sunshine hides my plans this big boat, it floats above the water quietly and even though i know it's down there below i...

Excellent work. I agree with ido.

When I was about 6 years old my mother made me mad one day; so I packed a few things into my name-labeled duffel bag, grabbed my sleeping bag, and headed out the front door. At about 50 feet out I was satisfied and sprawled my sleeping bag out in the middle of our grassy front yard. I think...

I love anything Sam Beam writes. Here's one of my recent favorites: Daddy's ghost behind you Sleeping dog beside you You're a poem of mystery You're the prayer inside me Spoken words like moonlight You're the voice that I like Needlework and seedlings In the way you're walking To me from the...

Sennheiser HD280

Oh darn, why didn't I think of that?
