nevereverposts and I swapped music the entire time we were reading the story together, and I'm a music-hoarding hipster douchebag, so I'm jumping on the Captain-Spanky-Mixtape bandwagon.
The running playlist is >100 songs at this point, but that seems a little excessive, and that's a lot of uploading time. This is a playlist of songs that set the mood for me, and were easy to ignore while reading (because I am easily distracted by songs that will make me cry harder).
Let's Dance by M. Ward
if you say run, I'll run with you
and if you say hide, we'll hide
because my love for you
would break my heart in two
if you should fall into my arms
and tremble like a flower
You Really Got A Hold On Me by She and Him
it seems that I'm always thinking of you
oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
you really got a hold on me
International Small Arms Traffic Blues by The Mountain Goats
my love is like a powder keg
in the corner of an empty warehouse
sitting just outside of town
about to burn down
Middle Cyclone by Neko Case
can't give up acting tough
it's all that I'm made of
can't scrape together quite enough
to ride the bus
to the outskirts
of the fact that I need love
Neopolitan Dreams by Lisa Mitchell
I don't think you're ever 100% in the room
Bribes by Danielle Ate The Sandwich
I know as well as they do
that you're doing well out there
but all these words in combination
are ones I don't want to hear
Have You Forgotten by Jenny Owen Youngs
have you forgotten how to love yourself?
Hardest of Hearts by Florence + The Machine
we don't care if it hurts
when we're holding too tight
No Cars Go by Maxence Cyrin
instrumental
Gravity (Lake Version) by Vienna Teng
hey love
I am a constant satellite
of your blazing sun
my love
I'll obey your law of gravity
this is the fate you've carved on me
Woke Up New by The Mountain Goats
Oh, what do I do?
What do I do?
What do I do?
What do I do without you?
Stayaway Stars by The Lucksmiths
yeah, you're a mess, more or less
so am I
I sometimes forget there are stars in the sky
so nonchalant, though thoroughly thought through
I'm Going To Stop Pretending That I Didn't Break Your Heart by The Eels
I never thought enough of myself
to realize that losing me could mean
something like the tears in your eyes
Blue Skies by Noah And The Whale
I don't think that it's the end
but I knwo we can't keep going
but blue skies are calling
but I know that it's hard
One of Those Days by Joshua Radin
so I crawl underneath my blanket
where I can hide away
I know I can take it
because I see now
it's just one of those days
Calculation Theme by Metric
I'm sick, you're tired, let's dance
cold as numbers but let's dance
as though it were easy for you to lead me
I could be passive gracefully
Ghosts by Laura Marling
they're just the ghosts that broke my heart
before I met you
Float by Erin McKeown
our love, built on heavy things
our love survives and sings
our love, always, it had wings
don't land
Umbrella by Boyce Avenue
now that it's raining more than ever
know that we'll still have each other
you can stand under my umbrella
This Tornado Loves You by Neko Case
and I miss
how you'd sigh yourself to sleep
when I'd rake the springtime
across your sheets
