today’s tunes: new order – leave me alone

On a thousand islands in the sea
I see a thousand people just like me
A hundred unions in the snow
I watch them walking, falling in a row

today’s tunes: Nick Cave – Galleon Ship

settling into the weekend with the fantastic new album Idiot Prayer – Nick Cave Alone at Alexandra Palace

If I could sail a galleon ship
A long, lonely rider across the sky
Seek out mysteries while you sleep
And treasures money cannot buy

I’ve posted this same song before – but a different version.

a groovy tune from Jack White and the Dead Weather:

When I said sail,
Will there be enough wind?
Cool water
Oh cool wind
