  1. “100,000 Fireflies”, The Magnetic Fields:

    “I have a mandolin
    I play it all night long
    It makes me want to kill myself
    I also have a Dobro
    Made in some mountain range
    Sounds like a mountain range in love
    But when I turn up the tone
    On my electric guitar…

    I’m afraid of the dark without you close to me

    I went out to the forest and caught
    100,000 fireflies
    As they ricochet ’round the room
    They remind me of your starry eyes
    Someone else’s might
    Not have made me so sad
    But this is the worst night I ever had

    ‘Cause I’m afraid of the dark without you close to me
    I’m afraid of the dark without you close to me
    Always was

    You won’t be happy with me
    But give me one more chance
    You won’t be happy anyway

    Why do we still live here
    In this repulsive town?
    All our friends are in New York

    Why do we keep shrieking
    When we mean soft things?
    We should be whispering all the time.”
