[haunting choral acapella]
2. johnny hollow - alchemy
[unsettling, secretive instrumental]
3. cosmo sheldrake - marsh warbler
[glassy instrumental with sampled birdsong]
4. massive attack - splitting the atom
The bed it was warm nettles and ferns
The evening it chokes the candle it burns
This disguise covers bitter lies
Repeating the joke the meaning it dies
Pass me a coat I'm not afraid to leave
I'm letting you know I know what you need
Honey scars I'll keep you near
Our blood is gold nothing to fear
We killed the time and I love you dear
A kiss of wine we'll disappear
5. baths - earth death
I've been done here, only time keeps me from the demiurge
Come kill me
I seem so brittle
6. yeasayer - glass of the microscope
I wish that I
Could tell you
That it's all alright
But in truth
We're doomed
7. portishead - mysterons
Divine upper reaches
Still holding on
This ocean
Will not be grasped
All for nothing
Did you really want
Did you really want
Who dares
Who dares to condemn
8. melody gardot - if i tell you i love you
There are so many things I could do, my love
To convince you my love is divine
If I tell you I love you, I'm lying
Darling, I am lying
9. julia holter - gold dust woman
Rock on, ancient queen
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
You better put your kingdom up for sale
And is it ovеr now? Do you know how?
To pick up the pieces and go home?
Black shadow of a woman
10. son lux - dangerous
Flaunt your slivers of gold
Abscond with the truth
How does it fee
To be your own deceiver?
The best endure
But the dead are true believers
11. darren korb - life sentence
[pridefully elegant harpsichord instrumental]
12. sleepytime gorilla museum - the greenless wreath
At last in the trembling leaves
This bone-cage slips away
Lost in the shivering trees

[violin instrumental with spoken numbers]
