"LiE LiE LiE" |
LiE LiE LiE +1 |
I know how to imagine more-distant futures, |
5 |
Ling tosite sigure |
"竜巻いて鮮脳" |
single |
and more ambitiously compiled plans, |
6 |
Quubi |
"G.O.A.T" |
G.O.A.T |
but if they don't change how I pick the next song, |
7 |
Shion Tsuji |
"Darumasan ga koronda" |
single |
they are definitively idle |
8 |
Luby Sparks |
"Start Again" |

until one song from now, |

but I can be convinced to try earnest or ecstatic experiments |
13 |
Anniken |
"Just Walk" |
Climb Out Of Hell |
for three or five minutes at a time, |
14 |
Dol Theeta |
"Monolith" |
single |
as long as after that we stop |

and re-have this fight |

"Free (feat. Vervain St. Project)" |
single |
in a very slightly better or worse world |
17 |
Oceans of Slumber |
"Hearts of Stone" |
single |
to see if we can tell. |
18 |
Thessa |
"Débris" |
single |
Horizons always beckon, |
19 |
Stömb |
"An Absence of Sun" |
single |
but the contours of a horizon |
20 |
Cold Kingdom |
"Agony" |
single |
are evaluations of how you think you feel |
21 |
Xaon |
"Wayward Sun" |
single |
about where you begin your gaze. |
22 |
Mob Rules |
"Sacred Heart" |
single |
The architecture of skyscrapers |
23 |

will always amount to "not this mud" |
24 |
Moon Tooth |
"I Revere" |
Phototroph |
until their construction can be rendered trivial |
25 |

and then we're surprised by the warm truth, |
31 |
Moon Tooth |
"Phototroph" |
Phototroph |
and the persistence of skin. |
32 |
Take Me With You |
"Chameleon" |
single |
You need only three skills: |
33 |
Scarlxrd |
"Nx" |
Acquired Taste: Vxl. 2 |
a brutal willingness to start, |
34 |
ONI INC. |

single |
a ruthless constant doubt, |
35 |
Skorn3896 |
"I'm Just Another Face in the Crowd" |
I'm Just Another Face in the Crowd +1 |
and a capacity for once in while telling the difference between the nearly identical. |
36 |
snow ellet |
"19" |
single |
In our legends, the leaders are somewhere up at the front of the crowd, |
37 |
Sasha Alex Sloan |
"Adult" |
I Blame The World |
or some edge we've decided to call the front, |
38 |

coming of age +3 |
waving flags and promising that "pillage" is only what you call what we're about to do |

I got a bag of them from somewhere we just passed |
44 |
Notelle |
"Bride" |
Nyctophiliac 5 |
because I thought they were made of caramel or starlight, |
45 |
Nectar |
"Stay" |
No Shadow |
but it turns out they taste like that moment where the people too far ahead of us |
46 |
My Idea |
"Cry Mfer" |
CRY MFER |
start walking again before we hear their signal, |
47 |
Pale Waves |
"Lies" |
single |
and in doing so, |
48 |
Tiny Stills |
"Bury the Hatchet" |
single |
remind us that all of these directions of movement |
49 |
Loreen |
"Neon Lights" |
single |
are explicitly permitted by the only underlying rules. |
50 |
Lamori |
"Insomnia" |

51 |
Adwaith |
"Wedi Blino" |

We dragged stone blocks into the shapes of castles |
54 |

56 |
The New Division |
"Nosedive" |
single |
We have better uses for our strength |
57 |

single |
than flinging plutocrats very slightly closer to Rigel 5 or Olympus or Olympus Mons. |
58 |
Martin & Ndolwane Super Sounds |
"Isinqumo" |
single |
And then the wind shifts for a moment, and I can hear the guy, |
59 |
Andile Cele |
"Kuyayiwa Ezulwini" |
single |
and he's saying something about buying us all horses |
60 |
Danger Shayumthetho & K-zin Isgebengu |
"Imizamo Yethu" |
Asimbonge Package 2.0 |
if we will only all come close enough |

Mthandazo Gatya |
"Sizobambana" |
single |
to lick this one particular talisman of his rule. |
62 |
Wanitwa Mos |
"Sofa Silahlane" |

"Ngiphupha Izinto" |
Ama Gogela |

Jy Is My Huis 5 |
and I say I don't know, but I think I bought a bag of those a while ago, too, |
66 |
Håkan Hellström |
"Jag vill bara va med dej" |
single |
and they taste like maybe you're supposed to cook them before you try to eat them, |
67 |
Alana Springsteen |
"Trust Issues" |
single |
and the package has a bunch of dire red symbols on it, |
68 |
Lauren Davidson |
"Mean to Say" |
single |
and I think this one means "Don't feed to unicorns", |
69 |
Thundermother |
"I Don't Know You" |
I Don't Know You +1 |
and if a magic rainbow horse with a horn will eat something that's poison to it |
70 |
The Big Deal |
"I Need You Here Tonight" |
First Bite |
if we negligently hold it out in our hands, |
71 |

"Der Berg bewegt sich nicht" |
single |
I know how to imagine that the mountains will rearrange themselves to protect us from the sea, |
78 |

but meanwhile, we have to figure out how to burn no new coal for the next three or four minutes |
79 |
MONO |
"The Place" |
The Place +1 |
and twenty-six seconds. |
80 |
ReoNa |
"ANIMA -Naked Style.-" |
Naked |
We need to rewrite some of our legends of ourselves in which revealed belief or skin is not an aggression |
81 |
Floor Jansen |
"FREUNDE (aus "Sing meinen Song, Vol. 9")" |

single |
more willingness -- eagerness -- to hear other people's stories about where we're all from. |
