  • Over the hill

    Get over your hill and see
    What you find there
    With grace in your heart

    – After the Storm, Mumford and Sons

  • The Voyage

    Life is an ocean and love is a boat
    In troubled waters that keeps us afloat

    – Johnny Duhan, The Voyage
  • Sweet Thing

    And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first
    And I will drink the clear, clean water for to quench my thirst
    And I shall watch the ferry-boats, and they’ll get high
    On a bluer ocean against tomorrow’s sky

    – Van Morrison, Sweet Thing
  • Deeper Water

    On a crowded beach in a distant time
    At the height of summer, see a boy of five
    At the water’s edge, so nimble and free
    Jumping over the ripples, looking way out to sea
    Now a man comes up from amongst the throng
    Takes the young boy’s hand and his hand is strong
    And the child feels safe, yeah, the child feels brave
    As he’s carried in those arms up and over the waves

    – Deeper Water, Paul Kelly
  • Ombra mai fù

    Frondi tenere e belle
    del mio platano amato
    per voi risplenda il fato.
    Tuoni, lampi, e procelle
    non v’oltraggino mai la cara pace,
    né giunga a profanarvi austro rapace.

    Ombra mai fu
    di vegetabile,
    cara ed amabile,
    soave più.

    Tender and beautiful fronds
    of my beloved plane tree,
    let Fate smile upon you.
    May thunder, lightning, and storms
    never disturb your dear peace,
    nor may you by blowing winds be profaned.

    Never was a shade
    of any plant
    dearer and more lovely,
    or more sweet.

    From Serse by George Frideric Handel.

  • Paul Kelly

    We are shelves, we are
    Tables, we are meek
    We are edible
    Nudgers and shovers
    In spite of ourselves
    Our kind multiplies
    We shall by morning
    Inherit the earth
    Our foot’s in the door

    Paul Kelly, from Mushrooms
  • Into the Wild

    Somebody left the gate open
    You know we got lost on the way
    Come save us a runaway train
    Gone insane

    LP (Laura Pergolizzi), PJ Bianco
