Favorite Music: The Honor List

Being a Collection of my most favored Artists and Groups, several of Which are local to the San Francisco Bay Area. Arranged in no particular Order but that Sarah McLachlan be, as I prefer all Women, on top.


Band Link denotes a link to the band's website or a website with a compendium of that band's lyrics.


  • Sarah Mclachlan: Fumbling Towards Ecstacy, Solace, Touch, Surfacing, Mirrorball, Rarities and B-Sides
    "All the fear has left me now
    I'm not frightened anymore
    It's my heart that pounds beneath my chest
    It's my mouth that pushes out this breath"
    And if I shed a tear I won't cage it -- I won't fear love
    And if I feel a rage I won't deny it -- I won't fear love"
    Fumbling Towards Ecstacy
    "I remember how you left in the morning at daybreak -- so softly you stole from my bed
    To go back to the one who possesses your soul, and I back to the life that I dread,
    So I ran like the wind to the water --
    'Please don't leave me again,' I cried,
    And I threw bitter tears at the ocean,
    But all that came back was the tide"
    I Will Not Forget you, Solace
  • Delicious Blue: This Love Will Be Lost, Pull Me Under
    "As long as I know all the I's there are,
    I cannot lose my way
    Beneath this open day..."
    Cassandra
    "He looked for years until he found her
    The girl in black could not see
    He found her sleeping in the oceans
    I saw her face and it was me"
    The Girl in Black
  • Lee Press-On and the Nails: Jump Swing from Hell (Live at the Hi-Ball Lounge), Swing is Dead Band Link
    "Don't bother with a doorbell/ Visit me, you'll need a shovel;
    I prefer a coffin to a bed…"
    I Prefer a Coffin to a Bed, Swing is Dead
    "Close your eyes like you're in a trance,
    Keep thinkin' 'bout that south of France,
    Now jump around like your shorts are full of ants,
    And that's how you're doin' the Big Pants Dance"
    Big Pants Dance
  • Heather Alexander: Midsummer, Life's Flame, Wanderlust Band Link
    "The magic never dies; in children's hearts it lies --
    Pray, let them learn from times before;
    From Dragon's flame and ire can come forth Phoenix fire
    And we will hear the song once more:
    I am Life's Flame, respect my name,
    My fire is red, my heart is gold;
    Thy dreams can be -- believe in me,
    If you but let my wings unfold..."
    Life's Flame
  • Tara MacLean: Silence, Passenger
    "Captured in a photograph inside her eyes,
    She'll wrap you in her blanket and then she'll tell you some lies,
    And you will kneel before her at her altar in the trees,
    Because they say, no matter who you are,
    She'll bring you to your knees "
    Let Her Feel the Rain
    "You're gone, like the broken words at your feet,
    You're gone, in the venom lips that kissed me sweetly,
    Gone, like a frightened bird, into the sky --
    Oh, won't you take everything I ever had
    And leave me to die..."
    Holy Tears
    "I'll be checking out the scenery
    From as high as I can be
    Come let faith be your garden
    Always changing, always still
    Still breathing..."
    Divided
    "Same place I've always been
    Just lost on these roads again
    Just as I got near the end
    I keep falling in the holes you left in me

    Oh, funny how
    I spent this time lashing out
    It's a lie
    Everything you felt until now"
    Jericho
  • October Project: Bury My Lovely; alas, the band is now dissolved. Band Link
    A shadow from another time
    is waiting in the night
    Something happened long ago,
    something that will not let go

    Bury my lovely, hide in your room
    Bury my lovely, forget me soon, forget me
    Forget me now,
    forget me not
    Bury My Lovely
  • Naked Barbies (most recently the Vagabond Lovers): Tarnished, Living Independently
    "It's my little drama and the curtain fell down
    The lights are all off, there's no one around
    It's my little drama, and it don't include you
    So I'll sit here alone
    And sing my own blues"
    My Little Drama
  • Darkest of the Hillside Thickets: Great Old Ones, Cthulhu Strikes BackBand Link
    "One day the night will never end,
    One day the sun will burn away,
    No bells will ring, no children sing --
    They're gonna pull my body from the ground that day."
    Space Ghosts
    "In asylums, restless patients scream
    Visions of Cthulhu every night they dream
    They see the signs of chaos beyond the wall of sleep
    Their minds contain a knowledge that our own refuse to keep"
