A Real Hero - College ft. Electric Youth

“and you, have proved, to be
a real human being, and a real hero”

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

My mom used to sing this to me every night before bed :3 It’s been my favorite song since I was a baby. 

Who knows how long I’ve loved you
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will

For if I ever saw you,
I didn’t catch your name
But it never really mattered,
I will always feel the same

Love you forever and forever,
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we’re together,
Love you when we’re apart

And when at last I find you,
Your song will fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
For the things you do endear you to me
Oh, you know I will
I will

I was really depressed on Thursday so my friend bought it for me on vinyl to cheer me up… Undoubtedly the sweetest, most wonderful thing anyone has ever done for me.

In Spite of All The Danger - The Quarrymen

In spite of all the danger, in spite of all that may be
I’ll do anything for you, anything you want me to 
If you’ll be true to me 

In spite of all the heartache that you may cause me
I’ll do anything for you, anything you want me to
If you’ll be true to me

~ Sorrow - The National

Don’t leave my half a heart alone
On the water,
Cover me in rag and bone, sympathy
Cause I don’t wanna get over you
I don’t wanna get over you

You and Me - Penny & the Quarters

Penny & The Quarters are a “lost” soul band which came to prominence in 2010 after an unreleased demo of their song “You And Me” was used in the film Blue Valentine.
Presumably teenagers at the time, Penny & The Quarters were invited to audition by Harmonic Sounds Studio in Columbus, Ohio recording three demo songs in all. The group consisted of a female lead with three or four male backup singers and an accompanying guitarist. Like the singers, the name of the songs’ composers are not known. 
One of the songs they recorded, “You And Me” was released by Numero Group and was later heard by actor Ryan Gosling, who recommended it to the director Derek Cianfrance as the song meant to bring the two lead characters together in Blue Valentine. (src)

~ Modern Man - Arcade Fire

Modern Man - Arcade Fire

Like a record that’s skipping, I’m a modern man. And the clock keeps ticking, I’m a modern man. Makes me feel like, makes me feel like… In my dream I was almost there, and you pulled me aside and said you’re going nowhere.

 In line for a number but you don’t understand, like a modern man. And you feel so right, but how come you can’t sleep at night?
