Your Ghost
by Kristin Hersh (with Michael Stipe).
(This is not the original video clip, but this one has the best sound quality)

Amazing
by Aerosmith.
Lyrics below the video.
When I watch this video I go back to the 6th grade. And those were beautiful days back then.
Kept the right ones out
And let the wrong ones in
Had an angel of mercy to see me through all my sins
There were times in my life
When I was goin' insane
Tryin' to walk through
The pain
When I lost my grip
And I hit the floor
Yeah, I thought I could leave but couldn't get out the door
I was so sick and tired
Of livin' a lie
I was wishin' that I
Would die
It's amazing
With the blink of an eye you finally see the light
It's amazing
When the moment arrives that you know you'll be alright
It's amazing
And I'm sayin' a prayer for the desperate hearts tonight
That one last shot's a permanent vacation
And how high can you fly with broken wings?
Life's a journey not a destination
And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings
You have to learn to crawl
Before you learn to walk
But I just couldn't listen to all that righteous talk
I was out on the street,
Just a-tryin' to survive
Scratching to stay alive

Candy Says
by Velvet Underground.
Lyrics below.
Sorry for the weird video clip, it's the only one in youtube with this song.
Candy says I've come to hate my body
and all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
what others so discreetly talk about
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me
Candy says I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

I hear it everywhere I go, mostly coming from people cellphones as they are ringing.
So let's shake things up a little...

Find The River
by REM.
Hey now, little speedyhead,
The read on the speedmeter says
You have to go to task in the city
Where people drown and people serve.
Don't be shy. Your just deserve
Is only just light years to go.
Me, my thoughts are flower strewn
Ocean storm, bayberry moon.
I have got to leave to find my way.
Watch the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.
The ocean is the river's goal,
A need to leave the water knows
We're closer now than light years to go.
I have got to find the river,
Bergamot and vetiver
Run through my head and fall away.
Leave the road and memorize
This life that pass before my eyes.
Nothing is going my way.
There's no one left to take the lead,
But I tell you and you can see
We're closer now than light years to go.
Pick up here and chase the ride.
The river empties to the tide.
Fall into the ocean.
The river to the ocean goes,
Afortune for the undertow.
None of this is going my way.
There is nothing left to throw
Of Ginger, lemon, indigo,
Coriander stem and rose of hay.
Strength and courage overrides
The privileged and weary eyes
Of river poet search naivete.
Pick up here and chase the ride.
The river empties to the tide.
All of this is coming your way.
I am off to find my river.
The blog is one week old!

Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps
by Cake.
This version is a cover version to the original "Quizas, Quizas, Quizas" song.
Some more information about this song:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perhaps_Perhaps_Perhaps
http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=6462
The only video I found that use the full song as its soundtrack is this Line Rider video. But I like the Line Rider game, I think it's cute, so I don't care.
Enjoy!
