presidents:

“Wake Up,” Arcade Fire

Something filled up
my heart with nothing,
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.

“We’re Going To Be Friends,” The White Stripes

Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed,
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet,
And when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet
That you and I will walk together again.
‘Cause I can tell that we are going to be friends.

“Una,” Sponge Cola

A demo version from sometime in 2004. I don’t think they even know that I have it. (Hi, Yael! I love you, man, you’re like a brother to me. HAHA!) But I always thought that this was the best, most heartfelt Sponge Cola song ever written. I still have a lot of their pre-EP demos and live recordings from when I was in high school, and it is so lovely to reminisce.

“Mariposa,” Sugarfree, live with the Manila Symphony Orchestra

Their first mainstream hit, and always a beautiful song. I can’t translate, and I think a lot would probably be lost in translation. :( This one is for all our Filipino followers — Rakenrol will be up soon. Everything Pinoy music.

“You Don’t Care About Us,” Placebo

This degeneration, mental masturbation. Think I’ll leave it all behind, save this bleeding heart of mine.

It’s a matter of trust.
