Mix - general - The space of a year

[ptahrrific]

Medium: General
Subject: Months
Title: The space of a year
Warnings: Jonathan Coulton has a dirty mouth.

One song for each month of the year. Chosen for the titles, not the themes, but somehow most of them ended up being about breakups.

♦ goldfinger - january

January came
By April you have stayed
June I was in heaven
July was just the same
September rolled around
October wore a frown
By Christmas, we were through



♦ stephen speaks - february wind

Flyin' a kite again in the February wind
I can almost see you beside me
Like it was back then

As the unseen hands lead
This blackbird in its sands
I can remember how I felt back then
With this kite string in our hands



♦ journey - winds of march

You held me in your arms
As the winds rushed through the trees
You are my child
Make my lifetime big and bright

You are my child
You came like the winds of March
With all the love in your eyes



♦ simon & garfunkel - april come she will

April, come she will
When streams are ripe and swell with rain
May, she will stay
Resting in my arms again

June, she'll change her tune
In restless walks she'll prowl the night
July, she will fly
And give no warning to her flight

August, die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September, I'll remember
A love once new has now grown old



♦ jonathan coulton - first of may

Ooh child, what you think, the cold winter's gonna last forever?
Ooh child, now's the time for all the people to get together
Outside

'Cause it's the First of May
First of May
Outdoor fucking starts today
So bring your favorite lady
Or at least your favorite lay



♦ groove coverage - little june

Little June is living for tomorrow
Taken away on a beautiful day

Little June is swallowing her sorrow
She closed her eyes as she left for the skies



♦ katatonia - july

So this night belongs to you
I know this isn't through
Are you dead to love

I see the bright lights
It's the month of July
It's violent here



♦ we the kings - august is over

Now we wait
Cause August had to end
All our bags are packed
Just two broken hearts
That got caught up in this

I deny
That tomorrow you'll be gone
And so far from me
It's something strange
Never love the same way



♦ earth wind and fire - september

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya, say, do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September?
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day



♦ u2 - october

October and the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care?

October and kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on
And on



♦ guns n' roses - november rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain



♦ jim brickman - december morning

[Instrumental.]

I haven't even loaded or listened to any of this, but let me just say bless you for not using "When September Ends" in this. XD
