The previous list I created in 2000, when I was 23, it had 23 songs. Right now I have 36, and here are my 36 "SOS" songs for soothing inner turmoil.
Side A
1.
Sigur Rós - Salka
[hopelandic]
2.
Sigur Ros - I Gaer
[hopelandic]
3.
Arvo Pärt - Spiegel im Spiegel
[instrumental]
4.
Claude Debussy - Clair de Lune
[instrumental]
5.
Birdy - Shelter
I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say
I have never felt this way
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on
6.
Birdy - People Help The People
God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes
Fiery throne of muted angels
Giving love but getting nothing back oh
People help the people
And if you're homesick, give me your hand and I'll hold it
7.
Moby - One of these mornings
One of these mornings
Won't be very long
You will look for me
And I'll be gone
8.
Bon Iver - Come Talk To Me
Oh please talk to me
Won't you please talk to me
We can unlock this misery
Come on, come talk to me
I did not come to steal
This all is so unreal
Can't you show me how you feel?
Now come on, come talk to me
9.
Counting Crows - Round Here
She says "it's only in my head"
She says "Shhhhh I know, I know it's only in my head"
"Can't you see my walls are crumbling?"
Then she looks up at the building
And says she's thinking of jumping
She says she's tired of life
She must be tired of something
10.
Lana Del Rey - Born To Die
Sometimes love is not enough and the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh
Let’s go get high
The road is long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
11.
Lana Del Rey - Video games
They say that the world was built for two
Only worth living if somebody is loving you
Baby, now you do
12.
Judy Collins - Send in the Clowns
Just when I'd stopped opening doors,
Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours
13.
Ennio Morricone- Chi Mai
[instrumental]
14.
Vangelis - Rachel's song
[instrumental]
15.
Enya - May it be
May it be when darkness falls your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh how far you are from home
Mornie utulie (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
16.
Erik Satie - Gnossienne No.1
[instrumental]
17.
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
18.
Girl With A Pearl Earring "Griet's Theme"
[instrumental]
Side B
1.
Whitney Houston - Run To You
I know that when you look at me
There's so much that you just don't see
But if you would only take the time
I know in my heart you'd find
A girl who's scared sometimes
Who isn't always strong
Can't you see the hurt in me?
I feel so all alone
Each day, each day I play the role
Of someone always in control
But at night I come home and turn the key
There's nobody there, no one cares for me
2.
Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing
You see through, right to the heart of me
You break down my walls with the strength of your love
3.
Joe Dassin - L'Albatros
Vois cet oiseau blanc prisonnier du ciel
Dans sa grande cage étoilée
Moi, de temps en temps je me sens pareil
A cet éternel exilé
(See this white bird prisoner of heaven
In his great starry cage
Me from time to time I feel like
In this eternal exile)
4. Joe Dassin - Et Si Tu N'existais Pas
Et si tu n'existais pas
Dis-moi pourquoi j'existerais
Pour traîner dans un monde sans toi
Sans espoir et sans regret
(
And if you didn't exist
Tell me why I should exist
To drag along in a world without you
Without hope and without regret)
Et si tu n'existais pas
Je crois que je l'aurais trouvé
Le secret de la vie, le pourquoi
Simplement pour te créer
Et pour te regarder
(And if you didn't exist
I think that I would have found
The secret of life, the WHY
Only to create you
And to look at you)
5. Elton John- Little Jeannie
Though you've grown beyond your years, you still retain the fears of youth
Oh little Jeannie, you got so much time, little Jeannie
But you're burning it up so fast, searching for some lasting truth
You stepped into my life from a bad dream
Making the life that I had seem suddenly shiny and new
Oh Jeannie
6. Pachelbel Cannon in D - Sanctus - Winter Light
7. Stoker Soundtrack - Uncle Charlie - Clint Mansell
[instrumental]
8. Edward Scissorhands-Ice Dance
[instrumental]
9. Giacomo Puccini - Madama Butterfly - Humming Chorus
[instrumental]
10. Mylène Farmer - Désenchantée
Nager dans les eaux troubles
Des lendemains
Attendre ici la fin
Flotter dans l'air trop lourd
Du presque rien
A qui tendre la main
(Swimming in the troubled waters
Of forthcoming days
Waiting here for the end
Floating in the too heavy air
Of the almost nothing
To whom should we hold out our hands)
Si je dois tomber de haut
Que ma chute soit lente
Je n'ai trouvé de repos
( If I must fall from high
Let my fall be slow
I haven't found rest)
11. Leona Lewis - Run
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
12. Passenger - Let Her Go
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
....And you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
13. Maria Mena - All This Time
You self destructive,
Little girl.
Pick yourself up,
Don't blame the world.
So you screwed up,
But you're gonna be okay.
And all this time,
Ohh-oh, all this time,
You have had it in you,
You just sometimes need a push.
14.
Jewel - Foolish Games
I watched from my window,
always felt that I was outside looking in on you
these foolish games are tearing me apart
your thoughtless words are breaking my heart
you're breaking my heart
15.
Erika - Save my heart
Save my heart
With your love and stand by me
Like before I can't go on
All alone without your love
I'm the one, I'm the one...
Now I know, now I know...
One for me...
16.
Way Out West - The Gift
The moon and the stars
Are the gift someday

James Last - The Lonely Shepherd

Tornero - instrumental
