about

In homage to the songs I grew up with and that influenced my musical life:

lyrics

Play the songs, the ones that spur me on
The ones that break my heart and liberate my soul
I want to hear the songs - the ones that lay me low
Just want to sing along with songs to die to

All those tunes I remember
As Vincent said:
“There is no god – please remember”

Play the songs, the ones that give me hope
The ones that linger on and won’t let go
I want to hear the songs - the ones that make me smile
The ones that make me cry - my songs to die to

All those tunes I remember
As Vincent said:
“There is no god – please remember”

All those tunes I remember
As Vincent said:
“There is no god – please remember”

Play the songs, the ones I grew up on
The ones that touch my heart and galvanise my mind
So put the needle on and turn the volume high
You’ll never be alone with songs to die to

I want to sing along with songs that make me strong
Or songs that make me tired and all emotional
I want to sing the songs that never let me d own
My inspirationals - my songs to die to

Come on and sing those songs – these are my songs from life
These were my happy times, these were my crappy times
I want to sing along - my god, what have we done?
Je suis Le Moribond
My songs to die to.

Help me love, for when my brain gives up
Just want to sing along with Songs for Life

Please remember.
