Eric's Song: As I've mentioned before, the very title is amazing. I'll mention a stupid thing I thought about when I heard this one. "Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes" reminded me of Jean/Phoenix. Right, well, with that out of the way, this is such a romantic song. A sort of I know how you feel and why you feel that way and I understand it (the whole "acknowledging the past") and how they're OK with taking their relationship in a certain direction ("how swiftly we choose it, the sacred simplicity of you at my side").
Every Breath You Take: So this song has always made me think of a stalker and it's a seriously creepy song. But it's sort of a possessive deal here with these two and a whole 'you're always on my mind' deal (which is so cute and yet sexy) which will later on bring them pain for this very reason. Moving along.
The Ladder: Gotta say I loved this song. Like, a lot. We're still in a romantic mood here, and how Erik's been changed, or both have, really (from "faithless you and selfish me" to "sentimental you and faithful me"). I cannot help but remember the satellite of love now. I dunno why. "Doesn't matter if I can't clear my mind. There's a right and a wrong time." YES
Ion Square: "How we've come to depend on each other to the end" perfectly describes their relationship (as Fassy and McAvoy said at some point during an interview, Erik & Charles sort of shape each other into what they are). Such a sexy song ("because I love my mind when I'm fucking you"), swelling from the previous quiet, romantic ones. Cheers!
Don't Forget Me: I insist "more will be revealed, my friend". This is a sexy, sexy song. 'nough said.
Mighty: I have to make a fabulous note here. The lyrics say "comfortably numb", which is a nice hint to the Pink Floyd song later on. Is the purpose of this song that line that says "Your body's asleep in a wheelchair"? 'cause else I don't quite get this one ;;

Run: This one breaks my heart, seriously. It sets the 'we've made a fuck-off huge mess here' mood ("I'm sorry, my friend, but we do not" with McAvoy's puppy face and Fassy craddling him ;A; )
Hurt: A song about regret (albeit a little emo) for Erik. Very melancholic (as the FST is to become till the end IMO), very nice.
The Awkward Goodbye: Sort of a romantic one still, but a very sad one at that. Again, tightens my chest to hear this one carefully. They know their paths have taken them in different directions, but there's a ceetain...longing which they try to ignore.
In My Veins: As said in earlier songs, they're part of each other now and "I cannot get you out". Such a sad one, yet again. I insist, great mood setters.
Comfortably Numb: Hinter earlier? ;) A change of mood now. "He's left a bit of a gap", I believe Magneto says near the end of FC. It's melancholy but definitely different from previous songs. Still a strong song, but going down tone-wise.
Armchairs: This one feels like a 'time will heal all wounds, this rift'. It's sort of a hopeful note in a melancholy tone. Liked this one a lot.
Rage and Serenity: A song from the soundtrack from the satellite of love scene? Could it be? This was a nice closing to the FST. We're back at calm songs, but it's not an upbeat one like Daft Punk's, but a quiet one which still has enough... power and something else which could totally be longing
Please Don't Go: And now the newest addition. It's still a very melancholy song, also a romantic song. And there was a previous song which said something about leaving you the keys, and this one here says "If you want me to break down and give you the keys, I could do that but I can't let you leave". You're right, it does give the whole deal a certain closure while totally laying an UST or at least unresolved feelings.

And whith that, we're done. I'll have to mention I only knew one of the songs, so hey, you've given my music library sexy new additions.
As for the cover, like it, but I think you could've chosen another Fassy pic, 'cause it looks like Charles is looking at him, but Fassy doesn't really seem to convey anything. Other than that, I like the font, the green, and the name you chose (although Static Waves so sounds like it could be the name of an 80's band lol)
So yeah, that's basically what I have to say regarding your FST. Congrats, man, and thanks for sharing the Erik/Charles love <3
