Ferras, “Speak in Tongues”

Ferras, “Speak in Tongues”

Jordanian-American Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter, Ferras grew up in a small town in Illinois where he never felt like he really fit in. After his parents divorced, his father kidnapped him and brought him to Jordan, where he began playing a Casio keyboard and began writing his own songs.

Ferras’ first album, “Aliens and Rainbows”, featured the song “Hollywood’s Not America,” which was used as the exit song for season seven of “American Idol”. He has since co-written several songs for artists including Adam Lambert and The Veronicas.

With his smooth, sweet voice and his incredible songwriting ability, Ferras is a talent to watch. And what does openly gay Ferras look for in a mate? “A sense of humor. And a great ass”.

Game of Thrones: House Stark Theme

Game of Thrones: House Stark Theme

When winter comes for war,
You shall hear no Lions roar.
When winter forces you to yield,
No Stags shall graze upon the field.
When winter creeps upon you from the shadows,
No Roses shall bloom from the meadows.
When winter wreaks havoc on the land,
You can bet there’ll be no Snakes in the sand.
When winter brings to life all it finds grim,
The Krakens will freeze where they swim.
When winter sets and the land begins to shiver,
The Flayed Man will start to rot and wither.
When winter fights to the last sliver,
No more Trouts shall swim in the river.
When winter ravages and all despair,
No Falcons shall fly high in the air.
When winter shows you what happens when snow falls,
Not even Dragons Breath shall warm you in your halls.
When winter comes with all it’s might,
Only the Wolves shall howl in the night.

Death Cab for Cutie, “I Will Possess Your Heart”

Death Cab for Cutie, “I Will Possess Your Heart”

Death Cab for Cutie began as a solo project of Ben Gibbard in 1997, while he was the guitar player for the band Pinwheel and was recording under the name All-Time Quarterback. As Death Cab for Cutie, Gibbard released a cassette titled You Can Play These Songs with Chords the same year. The release was surprisingly successful, and Gibbard decided to expand the project into a complete band, recruiting Chris Walla (who had also worked on the cassette) as lead guitarist, Nick Harmer as bass player, and Nathan Good as drummer.

Death Cab for Cutie was officially formed at Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington, and lyrics from early songs include local references that were important to the band’s development. Many of the early songs were recorded in the basement of an Ellis Street home Gibbard lived in with several roommates in Bellingham.

Manu Chao, “El Contragolpe”

Manu Chao, “El Contragolpe” Live September 11, 2008

Had to get tired, sometimes,
of your lies.
I had to get tired of begging
Everyday.
But now I am happy.
I do not want any more.
Do not look for my forgiveness, leave me …
Now you will see what is to have broken wings,
Now you will see what is to suffer the loss.
What brought me thy wickedness has no name,
But now it mercilessly backlashed.

Cesaria Evora, “Besame Mucho”

Cesaria Evora, “Besame Mucho”

A song from one of the Great Singers:

I want to have you close to me
To see myself in your eyes
To see you next to me
Think that perhaps tomorrow
I will be far
So far away from you

Kiss me, kiss me a lot
As if tonight were
The last time

Kiss me, kiss me a lot
For I am afraid of having you
And losing you all over again.
