Ich war kürzlich gezwungen, meine favorisierten Alben 2011 zu listen. Kann ich ja dann auch gleich aktualisiert hier reinklatschen. Unkommentiert natürlich, ich hab Jahresfeierabend.
25. Kanye West & Jay-Z: Watch The Throne
Ooh, I love you so
But why I love you
I’ll never know
24. Broilers: Santa Muerte
Ohne Begleitung, niemand neben Dir, die Akquisen liefen schlecht
Deine Freunde sind falsch, die Flasche verdammt echt
Weit entfernt in dieser Nacht von Dialog und Verkehr
Das Ganze ist wenig edel aber solitär
Lass uns sehen, wie weit wir
Wie weit wir heute gehen
Nur stete Krisenherde
Spenden uns noch Wärme
Jeder wird hier gebraucht
Weckt die Toten auf
23. Gramatik: Beatz & Pieces Vol. 1
Kbumm tschak ktschak plmpzzzz plmpzzzueeeee aaaaaah weeeee!
22. Tom Waits: Bad As Me
Take my picture from the frame
Put the sun behind the clouds
Put me back in the crowd
And though all roads will not lead you home my girl
All roads lead to the end of the world
21. Dum Dum Girls: Only In Dreams
Weeks and months turned to years
Hiding underneath my fears
But I was always looking, I was always looking
I was always looking for you
The ceiling undulates, the fault of some strange pill
I see your body in the doorway, so it seems
Oh, I need your bedroom eyes
I fear that I’ll never sleep again
20. Jane’s Addiction: The Great Escape Artist
The irresistible force met the immovable object
Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging and banging
19. Florence + The Machine: Ceremonials
I was born in a big gray cloud
Screaming out a love song
All the broken chords and unnamed cries
What a place to come from
I wish to remain nameless
And live without shame
I know everybody lets you down
I’ll do the same
I don’t want your money
I don’t want your crown
I’ve come to burn your kingdom down
18. Arctic Monkeys: Suck It And See
One of those games
You’re gonna lose
But you wanna play it
Just in case
Be cruel to me ’cause I’m a fool for you
Home sweet home
Home sweet booby trap
I took the batteries out my mysticism
And put them in my thinking cap
What you waiting for
Sing another fuckin’
Shalalala
Shalalala
Shalalala
17. Foo Fighters: Wasting Light
Down crooked stairs and sideway glances
Comes the king of second chances
Now throw him in the flames
Your bridges are burning now
They’re all coming down
It’s all coming round
Gather in the ashes
Everything thrown away
Gather in the ashes
Scatter as they blow away
You got away, got away, got away from me
Now get away, get away, get away from me
16. Yuck: Yuck
Summer sun says get out more, I need you
I want you but I can’t get this feeling off my mind
I can’t get away
Not even the pain kicks in
Tell me when the pain kicks in
Everybody has a mild crucifixion
I first saw you as my benediction
I am sorry you became my addiction
My game, my cold affliction
You can be my destiny
You can mean that much to me
You can be my destiny
15. Foster The People: Torches
You know those days when you want to just choose
To not get out of bed, you’re lost in your head again
Slip and fall, I’m dodging calls, hug the prison
I’ve been living in
Yeah yeah and it’s OK
I tie my hands up to the chair so I don’t fall that way
Yeah yeah and I’m alright
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight
Well that rat race ladder-climbing fake-face smile’s got nothing on me
14. The Kills: Blood Pressures
It’s not the door you’re using
But the way you’re walking through it
You don’t own the sadness son
See the tide just comes in
Guilt is played on the violin
By those who never cared to sing
13. The Strokes: Angles
Life turns to dust
And rain turns to rust
Gossip is a truth
And money pays for the lies we trust
Making fools out of the best of us
Making robots of the rest of us
So long, my friend and adversary
I’ll wait for you
Don’t waste your heart
Don’t waste your heart
12. Danger Mouse & Daniele Luppi: Rome
Help myself to a drink
Help myself to the sink
The tracks on my arm
The train in the wreck
That’s when they all sing this song
About when you are all alone
In your home with the broken neck
Until you travel to that place you can’t come back
Where the last painting’s gone and all that’s left is black
11. Death Cab For Cutie: Codes And Keys
When there’s a burning in your heart
An endless yearning in your heart
Build it bigger than the sun
Let it grow, let it grow
When there’s a burning in your heart
Don’t be alarmed
Coldest comfort, safety glass
Seasons turning, dying grass
Somewhere down, down
Down in the ocean of sound, sound
We’ll live in slow-motion
And be free
With doors unlocked and open
Doors unlocked and open
10. Kasabian: Velociraptor!
Days, days are forgotten
Now it’s all over simply forgotten, how to disappear
So raise your glass to the ones who have passed
And the ones that got away
They’re at it again, let’s roll just like we used to
In fields when we were young our hearts got lost in the circles
We had it all, a rise and fall
I saw her face, way out in space
09. Smith Westerns: Dye It Blonde
Does it feel as though you’ve won
Now that you’re my only one?
Dreams never do come true
With you
It takes all my time to be in love with you
It takes all of my time, what do I do?
All die young
when love is love and when you are young
All die young
08. The Antlers: Burst Apart
One bad night I’ll hold the glass until the glass can hold me down
And one bad night I’ll spill and spill until my feet begin to drown
One dumb night two bad decisions don’t divide to cancel out
You and I, divine but not devout
Every night my teeth are falling out
Rolled together with a burning paper heart
Pulled together but about to burst apart
07. The Black Keys: El Camino
Pick you up, let you down
When I wanna go
To a place I can hide
You know me, I had plans
But they just disappeared
To the back of my mind
Oh, can it be
The voices calling me
They get lost and out of time
I should’ve seen it glow
But everybody knows
That a broken heart is blind
After every single word is said
I’m feeling dead and gone
06. The Vaccines: What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?
You’ve seen the world
What did it look like?
When did you go and when did you get back?
I don’t even know you
You’re just someone new I don’t want to talk to
Because time gets harder to outrun
And I’m nobody, I’m not done
We all got old at breakneck speed
Slow it down, go easy on me
Go easy on me
Put a wetsuit on, come on, come on
Grow your hair out long, come on, come on
Put a t-shirt on
Do me wrong, do me wrong, do me wrong
05. Bright Eyes: The People’s Key
Light to dark can shift in an instant
Feeling close but keeping my distance
On all fours she’s just so insistent
Fills my mind with jump ropes and slit wrists
Slipping steadily into madness
Now that’s the only place to be free
No, I don’t want to play
It’s a shell game, it’s a shell game
How’d it get so dark in the day?
How’d I get so lost? I’m amazed
It’s just so bizarre
All the things I’m afraid of
I’ll die young at heart
04. Lykke Li: Wounded Rhymes
I, I follow, I follow you deep sea baby,
I follow you
Rather die in your arms than die lonesome
Rather die hard than die hollow
The higher that I climb
The deeper I fall down
I’m running out of time
So let’s dance while we’re waiting
And call it love or call it murder
Kill me quietly
03. The Raveonettes: Raven In The Grave
What if I could free you
What if you could smile
What if I could make your heart ignite just for a while
What if I could die now
What if I could go
I always loved alone
I never ever showed
When I’m gone
Like a raven in the grave
Young lovers sure won’t spring from these evil seeds
Play with fire, play with you sometimes
02. Radiohead: The King Of Limbs
Like I’m falling out of bed
From a long and weary dream
The universal sigh
‘Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick
Just to see what if
01. PJ Harvey: Let England Shake
Let me walk through the stinking alleys
To the music of drunken beatings
Past the Thames River, glistening like gold
Hastily sold for nothing..nothing
These are the words, the words are these
This was something else again
I fear it cannot be explained
The words that make, the words that make
Murder
Death was in the staring sun
Fixing its eyes on everyone
As we, advancing in the sun
sing ‘Death to all and everyone’
