toronto – Auditory Dérive

long highway, terrorizing
when i call your name, you stand before me
hear me roar…
HEAR ME ROAR…

Jezabels – Long Highway (Prisoner, 2011)

[instrumental]

Boards of Canada – Roygbiv (Music Has the Right to Children, 1998)

(time stand still) i’m not looking back, but i want to look around me now
(time stand still) see more of the people and the places that surround me now

Rush – Time Stand Still (Hold Your Fire, 1987)

i know we don’t live here anymore
we bought an old house on the danforth
she loves me and her body keeps me warm
and i’m happy here

Barenaked Ladies – The Old Apartment (Born on a Pirate Ship, 1996)

hey there, baby, we’ll be fine
i’ll always want your piece of mind
i’ll always look forward to better days ahead

Jezabels — Peace of Mind (Prisoner, 2011)

baby, i know you’re into it
chasing a love you’ll never get
she’s playing your heart just a little bit
your mona lisa, your mona lisa

Little Daylight — Mona Lisa (Hello Memory, 2014)

when you could stamp a foot down through the floor
it’s a better plan by far
to blow off the roof and let in the dark

let in the dark, dark, dark…

Dragonette — Let It Go (Bodyparts, 2012)

do you remember i searched you out?
how i climbed your city’s walls
do you remember me as devout?
how i prayed for your cause

Tegan and Sara — I Was a Fool (Heartthrob, 2013)

don’t want cash, don’t want card
want it fast, want it hard
don’t need money, don’t need fame
i just want to make a change

Marina and the Diamonds — Oh No! (The Family Jewels, 2010)

cast in this unlikely role, ill-equipped to act
with insufficient tact
one must put up barriers to keep oneself intact

Rush — Limelight (Moving Pictures, 1981)
