“Nature abhors a vacuum” – Aristotle
“Nothing happens until something moves.” – Albert Einstein
Nothing from me. Let the songs speak for themselves.
Ella Fitzgerald – There’s A Lull In My Life (Nilpferd)
Oh, there's a lull in my life
It's just a void and empty space
When you are not in my embrace
Edith Piaf – Je ne regrette rien (swawilg)
Non, rien de rien
Non, je ne regrette rien
Ni le bien qu’on m’a fait
Ni le mal; tout ça m’est bien égal!
The Flirtations – Nothing But A Heartache (Pop Off!)
Nothing but a heartache every day
The Small Faces – All or Nothing (swawilg)
Things could work out
Just like I want them to, yeah
If I could have the other half of you, yeah
You know I would, but I can't, if I only could
The Go! Team – Buy Nothing Day (vastariner)
Nothing came today
Nothing will tomorrow
Ezra Furman – My Zero (shoegazer)
I thought you'd always be
MY ZERO
Townes van Zandt – Nothin’ (Nicko)
'Cause, brothers, our troubles are locked in each others arms
And you better pray that they never find you
'Cause your back ain't strong enough for burdens double fold
They'd crush you down, down into nothing
The Beatles – For No One (amylee)
And in her eyes, you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
The Cure – Harold and Joe (happyclapper)
Nothing ever gets in my way
Nothing ever gets on my mind
Nothing ever makes me stop to think about
Nothing of the kind
Velvet Underground – Oh Sweet Nuthin’ (severin)
Oh sweet nuthin'
She ain't got nothing at all
Lil Nas X – Void (ajostu)
I find it hard to get
Way too hard to live
Tell me what you know
Now before I go
Sinead O’Connor – Nothing compares 2U (Uncleben)
I went to the doctor, guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said, "Girl you better try to have fun, no matter what you do"
But he's a fool
Cause nothing compares, nothing compares to you
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds – I Need You (Mussolini Headkick)
We love the ones we can
Cause nothing really matters
