Day 28 - I believe in you and in our hearts we know the truth / And I believe in love and the darker it gets, the more I do / Try and fill us with your hate and we will shine a light / And the days will become endless and never, and never turn to night

(Florence + The Machine - 100 Years)

Day 26 - We’re catching bullets with our heads and hearts / And all the darkest parts of us / It’s strange to find such light / In such endless night / […] We’re catching bullets with the best resources that we’ve got / We’re happy then again we’re not / We shout through the endless doubt

(Tunng - Bullets)

Day 25 - Oh my love where did you fly? / After you came home to me / Like the nightjar you left me here / To nest in the mourning tree.

(Jessica Curry - The Mourning Tree)

Day 24 - We could be ocean / We could rage with the tide / Over the mountain / When lovers collide / Stay with me, stay with me / Just stay with me / Stay with me…

(Njoki Karu - Stay)

Day 23 - Heads up for the light where we never die / Under the moonlight we start to unfight / Heads up for this time where fear’s not a leader, where open mind is stronger / Life is for lovers

(Jain - Heads Up)

Day 22 - In the glorious days, till we lost our ways / Hey, do you recall when the war was just a game? / Now the wind ventures to other plains / Hey, when will I see you again if I go?

(Woodkid - Stabat Mater)

Day 21 - Our bodies forged, steel muscles locked / Head to head, our emotions blocked / All nerves taut, our eyes transfixed / Hand to hand, to the end / They will come – we wait for them

(Sieben - We Wait For Them)

Day 20 - I’m always ready for a war again / Go down that road again, it’s all the same / I’m always ready to take a life again / You know I’ll ride again, it’s all the same / Tell me who’s gon’ save me from myself, when this life is all I know? / Tell me who’s gon’ save me from this hell? / Without you, I’m all alone

(Kendrick Lamar - Pray For Me)

Day 19 - Here comes the sun, over your head like a warm sunrise / You know that in this world not everything’s good / But right now nothing can hurt you / Maybe your joy, seems so simple in front of people / It’s not everyday, you’re feeling this joy / It’s more precious than all your money

(Jain - So Peaceful)

Day 18 - There’ll be ups and downs, highs and lows / In the darkest fire, you’ll make it snow / You got this, baby, you got this / Keep on trying hard, don’t take it slow / You’ll be breaking the walls, it’ll make it glow / You got this, you got this / There’s something wonderful

(Fakear - Something Wonderful)

Day 17 - My tears are always frozen, I can see the air I breathe / But my fingers painting pictures on the glass in front of me / Lay me by the frozen river where the boats have passed me by / All I need is to remember how it was to feel alive

(AURORA - Winter Bird)

Day 16 - If I was born as a blackthorn tree / I’d wanna be felled by you, held by you / Fuel the pyre of your enemies / […] Nothing fucks with my baby / Nothing can get a look in on my baby / Nothing fucks with my baby / Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing

(Hozier - NFWMB)

Day 15 - Oh I’m a guilty one, and know what I have done / Yeah, I’m a troubled one, and I won’t be forgiven / Guilty on the run, and I know what I have done / Guilty on the run, and I’m never forgiven

(MARINA - Guilty)

Day 14 - I swear it is true, the past isn’t dead / It’s alive, it is happening in the back of my head / No future, no past / No laws of time / Can’t undo what is happening when I close my eyes

(Agnes Obel - It’s Happening Again)

Day 13 - If only I could remember you / Your name on a tree, your blood inside of me / Your songs all unsung, your thoughts all unspun / Where would you live, where would you dance / How would you make love, who would be your dove / If only I could remember you, if only, if only

(CocoRosie - Forget Me Not)

Day 12 - Goldfish in a bowl / Got my brain full of holes / Left half right half, no one’s in charge here / Goldfish in a bowl / Got my hands covered in blood and I cannot stop this hemorrhage

(The Dø - Slippery Slope)

Day 11 - Most of my sweet memories were buried in the sand / The fire and the pain will now be coming to an end / How did you get to save me from this desolate wasteland / In your eyes I see the dawn of brighter days again

(Woodkid - Wasteland)

Day 10 - There’s a hole in my soul / Won’t you please come home, won’t you please come home? / There’s this place in my mind / Won’t you please come home, won’t you please come home? / Stuck in a black shade, stuck in this split space

(Hyphen Hyphen - I & I)

Day 9 - But would you leave me / If I told you what I’ve done? / And would you leave me / If I told you what I’ve become? / […] You want a revelation, you want to get it right / But, it’s a conversation I just can’t have tonight

(Florence + The Machine - No Light, No Light)

Day 31 - Just like the seed, I don’t know where to go / Through dirt and shadow I grow / I’m reaching light through the struggle / Just like the seed, I’m chasing the wonder / I unravel myself all in slow motion

(AURORA - The Seed)
