Mia Doi Todd - My Room Is White (Flying Lotus Remix)
[details=Lyrics]
My room is white, the walls
And all my appliances, all compliances.
I live in silence, my windows
Closed to traffic, all that racket.
You are the opposite. I could never fit
Into your apartment.
Are we going to give up or (are) we going to try?
Are we going to give up or (are) we going to try to learn what life is?
The tide comes in, and we’re caught
By the rocks and the wetness neverendless.
We kiss for the first time, our lips and tongues
Tied in fitness, infiniteness.
Then the ocean pulls back somehow,
To reveal a crowd of uncertainty.
Are we going to live up to the words we said?
Are we going to live up to love we made? Made? Made?
A house, a garden, a family tree,
Fruit aplenty, all varieties.
Desire fulfilled,…[/details]

Yael Naim : Toxic (concert Arte live web)
[details=Lyrics]Baby, can’t you see
I’m falling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It’s dangerous
I’m fallin’
There’s no escape
I can’t wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You’re dangerous
I’m lovin’ it
Too high
Can’t come down
Losing my head
Spinning round and round
Do you feel me now
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You’re toxic I’m slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
It’s getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil’s cup
Slowly
It’s taking over me
Too high
Can’t come down
It’s in the air
And it’s all around
Can you feel me now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin’ now
I think I’m ready now
I think I’m ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin’ now
I think I’m ready now[/details]

Pop covers, is it?

Covers are such strange beasts. Most interesting when they jump genres or in some way shake things up and yet still bring along the original essence in some form.
Chet Faker - No Diggity (Live Sessions)
[details=Lyrics]Shorty get down, good Lord
Baby got 'em open all over town
Strictly biz, don’t play around
Cover much ground, got game by the pound
Getting paid is a forte
Each and every day, true player way
I can’t get her out of my mind yo
I think about the girl all the time yo
East side to the west side
Pushing phat rides, it’s no surprise
She got tricks in the stash
Stacking up cash
Fast when it comes to the gas
By no means average
As long as she’s got to have it
Baby, you’re a perfect ten
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
(I like the way you work it
No diggity, I gotta bag it up)
She’s got class and style
Seen knowledge by the mile
Baby never act wild
Very low key on the profile
Catching feelings is a no
Let me tell you how it goes
Curves the words, spins the verbs
Lovers it curves so freak what you heard
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Man that girl look good
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
Play on, play on
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
She’s got class and style
Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo, hey yo
No diggity no

Lusine - Just A Cloud
[details=Lyrics]I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear
I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear
I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear
I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear
I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear
I wish that I was just a cloud
In the sky, above the land
I wish that I was just a cloud
Take less shape and disappear[/details]

The Dakota Access Pipeline protests had me thinking about this.
The time has come
A fact’s a fact
It belongs to them
Let’s give it back.

Was digging through my old music blog and found this track. More relevant than ever.
Laura Mvula - She (In South Africa)
[details=Lyrics]She walked towards you with her head down low
She wondered if there’s a way out of the blue
Who’s gonna take her home this time?
She knew that this time wouldn’t be the last time
There she waits looking for a savior
Someone to save her from her dying self
Always taking ten steps back and one step forward
She’s tired but she don’t stop
She don’t stop, she don’t stop, she don’t stop
She don’t stop, she don’t stop, she don’t stop
Every day she stood hoping for a new light
She closed her eyes and she heard a small voice say
You don’t stop, no, you belong to me
She cried, maybe it’s too late
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop
Don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop, don’t stop[/details]
Here is a track from this year. Beautiful and powerful.
Laura Mvula - Overcome (Official Video) ft. Nile Rodgers
[details=Lyrics]
[Verse 1]
When your heart is broken down, down, down
And your head don’t reach the sky
Take your broken wings and fly
[Verse 2]
When your head is hanging low, low, low
And the tears, they keep falling
Take your broken feet and run
[Verse 3]
With the world up on your shoulders
Nowhere left to hide
Keep your head up, carry on
[Bridge]
It ain’t no time to die, die
Even though we suffer
Come together, be brave
Come together
All God’s children, come
[Outro]
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run
’Round the mountain, all God’s children run
’Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)
'Round the mountain, all God’s children run (All God’s children run 'round the mountain, run)[/details]
