"Sing this" by Nombongo Shenxane

Nombongo Shenxane 2011-11-08 I’m gonna sing this
Over and over again until
You understand.
You’re gonna have to
Own it and love, console it
As it becomes your own

"Vocal violation" by Andre van Wyk

Andre van Wyk 2011-11-08 You never noticed anything, but you were nothing short of my everything
I gave you my heart, I gave you my soul, I gave you my life made you my only goal
Then you turned around one summer’s day, you left me cold and walked away
My life is a mess and I can’t go on, I’m thinking ‘bout what went wrong

Going with the paces" by Phoebe Daniels

Phoebe Daniels 2011-11-08 I saw you across the road
We were nine years old,
We used to climb some trees,
Grazing all our knees,
Stepping back in time I see,
How things between us used to be,
Best friends, turned into enemies,

"Back and forth" by Phoebe Daniels

Phoebe Daniels 2011-11-08 Life gets easy, life gets hard,
Why do we always fall apart,
You’re the one that’s in my heart,

"Pick-up-lyn Frikkie" deur Jeremy Bezuidenhout

Jeremy Bezuidenhout 2011-11-08 Die storie het begin by die local bar
van ou Frikkie wat sy brannas geniet
en vir elke meisie staar
na ‘n paar slukke van self-confidence
trek hy sy hand deur sy hare en scheme
hy lyk soos ‘n nuwe sixpence

"Fireworks" by Brendon MacIntosh

Brendon MacIntosh 2011-11-08 I’m on my way
My way back home
I’m listening to the music
I stole from you

"Only take" by Brendon MacIntosh

Brendon MacIntosh 2011-11-08 In the silence in the dark
I could listen forever to your guitar
She said this to me
The words came easy

"Be here now" by Brendon MacIntosh

Brendon MacIntosh 2011-11-08 She says I wanna go home
But I dunno where that is
She’s got a lot of frustration

"Give what you’ve got" by Renè Hvidsten

Renè Hvidsten 2011-11-08 Johnny was a man on the run
always looking for fun, thinking that love was a game
He would drive down the highway all day

"Wicked game" by Renè Hvidsten

Renè Hvidsten 2011-11-08 I never knew love caused so much sorrow,
that love to you was just a game, yeah.
You said your love was everlasting,
but all in vain,
it’s such a shame, for who’s to blame, love is a wicked game.

"When he’s in a hijack mood" by Julian de Wette

Julian de Wette 2011-11-08 All my working life i’ve done about one job a day – i don’t
pick and pay
mercedes benz, or a four-by-four, i’m in for the big ones in

"Memories and broken trust" by Ethina Moodley

Ethina Moodley 2011-11-08 I can’t help it; my heart is breaking without you.
There’s a reminder of you in everything I do.
You said that you loved me,
And together, forever we will be.

"Sweat out sadness" by Nicole Elise Pahl

Nicole Elise Pahl 2011-11-08 Sometimes when you walk in sadness,
It enters through your skin.
Even if you try to hide it,
Without still meets within.

"The bottom" by Pieter-Louis Myburgh

Pieter-Louis Myburgh 2011-11-08 I’ve got an anchor tied to my ankle
I’ve got a rope around my wrists – I can’t float
I’m sinking deeper, down to the bottom
To rest with sunken ships – rusty and forgotten

"Close the curtain" by Pieter-Louis Myburgh

Pieter-Louis Myburgh 2011-11-08 Close the curtain
And kill the lights
This show is over
Of that I’m certain

"Violet walls" by Nicolene van der Vorst

2011-11-08 I’m all alone in my room,
Violet walls closing soon.

"Like a man’s shadow" by Nicolene van der Vorst

2011-11-08 We all come to a stage when we want to be treasured and loved, but sometimes unlike our hopeful wishes other actions are shoved.
We want to feel safe and reassured when we love back; at times we are not given that desired slack.

"Wrecking ball" by Chris-Valen McPherson

Chris-Valen McPherson 2011-11-08 If I just didn’t say
All those things that I said
If I just stayed away in the first place
Never threw my words in your face
We’d both have been free of all this pain
I should have gotten on the last train
And gone home

"Back from the grey" by Cathy Witten

Cathy Witten 2011-11-08 It’s just after seven and my car won’t start
I guess it’s struggling to run on a broken heart
But this never would’ve happened if I still had you
I’m locked out of my house and I can’t get in
Because you’re still holding onto my spare key
And this never would’ve happened if I still had you

"Langenhoe Church" by Karlien van der Merwe

Karlien van der Merwe 2011-11-08 Where hills and marshes
curve into quiet debate
and skies clot into chilly cathedral air,
it smells of ghosts and bludgeoning still.
