Evidence of Autumn (free) 05:16
The girl from all those songs, who made everything feel right, she came in like an angel, into your lonely life. Filling your world with light, oh, and everybody told you, "you're oh so lucky". Curtains part revealing a country scene, clothed in green and brown. Evidence of autumn and recent rain On a winding lane, a by-way. Walking on that road is a certain girl, in all the world the one guaranteed to move you and turn your head, when all's been said and done. The girl from all those songs, who made everything feel right, she came in like an angel, into your lonely life. Filling your world with light, oh, and everybody told you, "you're oh so lucky". The night is clear but cool, and maybe dawn is breaking as you turn to find her gone. Then you see the note and you cannot believe it and you think you'll go insane... But that was many years ago and though the pain is dim, a something still remains. Though you hardly can recall her face or form, her memory lingers on. Ooh she made everything feel right. She came in like an angel, (in like an angel), into your lonely life, (into your life), and filling your world with light. Oh and everybody told you, "you're oh so lucky".

Flower of Scotland (free) 03:42
Oh Flower of Scotland When will we see Your like again, That fought and died for Your wee bit Hill and Glen And stood against him Proud Edward's Army, And sent him homeward Tae think again. The Hills are bare now And Autumn leaves lie thick and still O'er land that is lost now Which those so dearly held That stood against him Proud Edward's Army And sent him homeward Tae think again. Those days are past now And in the past they must remain But we can still rise now And be the nation again That stood against him Proud Edward's Army And sent him homeward, Tae think again. © Corries Music Ltd

Today's The Day (free) 03:21
Today's The Day by Inverse Clown I had a dream last night In which everything wrong in my life went right And much to my surprise It was a quick transition It played out so vividly That's it's hard to describe what it did to me Suffice to say I took it As a premonition Today's the day I get a move on Today's the day I change Today's the day that I improve on Who I am and everything I do: Today's the day that I break up with you Just stop and think about All the times I gave in so that we'd work out If you look at the score I think I tip the balance But you prob'ly think that's great 'Cause you take and you drain and manipulate I guess every sucubus Is gonna have those talents Today's the day that I get angry Today's the day I fight Today's the day that I harangue The telling-off that's way past overdue: Today's the day that I break up with you Don't look at me like that With your cute pouting lips and your big, sad eyes You're pretty, but you're pretty much a bitch It's time for you to see That the world is the world universally And nowhere does it say That you can run my planet So you take our history And your need for control and co-misery And brace yourself real good Then go ahead and cram it Today's the day that I'm the victor Today's the day I win Today's the day I do your sister Here's a toast to starting life anew: Today's the day that I wake up It's time to say I've had enough Today's the day that I break up with you

I'll tell thee everything I can; There's little to relate. I saw an aged, aged man, A-sitting on a gate. 'Who are you, aged man?' I said. 'And how is it you live?' And his answer trickled through my head Like water through a sieve. He said 'I look for butterflies That sleep among the wheat; I make them into mutton-pies, And sell them in the street. I sell them unto men,' he said, 'Who sail on stormy seas; And that's the way I get my bread-- A trifle, if you please.' But I was thinking of a plan To dye one's whiskers green, And always use so large a fan That it could not be seen. So, having no reply to give To what the old man said, I cried, 'Come, tell me how you live!' And thumped him on the head. His accents mild took up the tale; He said, 'I go my ways, And when I find a mountain-rill, I set it in a blaze. And thence they make a stuff they call Rowland's Macassar Oil-- Yet twopence-halfpenny is all They give me for my toil.' But I was thinking of a way To feed oneself on batter, And so go on from day to day Getting a little fatter. I shook him well from side to side, Until his face was blue; 'Come, tell me how you live,' I cried 'And what it is you do!' He said, 'I hunt for haddocks' eyes Among the heather bright, And work them into waistcoat-buttons In the silent night. And these I do not sell for gold Or coin of silvery shine, But for a copper halfpenny, And that will purchase nine. 'I sometimes dig for buttered rolls, Or set limed twigs for crabs; I sometimes search the grassy knolls For wheels of hansom-cabs. And that's the way' (he gave a wink) 'By which I get my wealth-- And very gladly will I drink Your Honor's noble health.' I heard him then, for I had just Completed my design To keep the Menai bridge from rust By boiling it in wine. I thanked him much for telling me The way he got his wealth, But chiefly for his wish that he Might drink my noble health. And now, if e'er by chance I put My fingers into glue, Or madly squeeze a right-hand foot Into a left-hand shoe, Or if I drop upon my toe A very heavy weight, I weep, for it reminds me so Of that old man I used to know-- Whose look was mild, whose speech was slow, Whose hair was whiter than the snow, Whose face was very like a crow With eyes, like cinders, all aglow, Who seemed distracted with his woe, Who rocked his body to and fro, And muttered mumblingly and low, As if his mouth were full of dough, Who snorted like a buffalo-- That summer evening long ago A-sitting on a gate.

React (demo) 03:12
REACT I'm so tired... and I've tried... and I've lied. Given my place in the sun. Living so nothing would show. Waiting for all who are outside to know, but why can't you see, why can't you tell all the secrets inside of me? I'd give to you, anything and take all the time to know. Doesn't seem fair we can hide from this love given that I won't survive- I'll never show - Never know. But I cannot take all this time all alone and I don;t know where I will turn. Tell me what hides in your eyes. Tell me that I'm not blind. After all- After it's done- How could I be - Anyone - Anything? How can I - react to this?
