Title: the planets bend between us
I absolutely adore this book and after re-reading it not too long ago, I felt compelled to compile a mix that adequately covered the expanse of Henry and Clare's love and time together - and I especially wanted to concentrate on their time spent apart. I wanted the beauty and I wanted the tragedy; the ecstasy and the grief. A mix to enjoy during a quiet night to yourself.
- - - - -“Long ago, men went to sea, and women waited for them, standing on the edge of the water, scanning the horizon for the tiny ship. Now I wait for Henry. He vanishes unwillingly, without warning. I wait for him. Each moment that I wait feels like a year, an eternity. Each moment is as slow and transparent as glass. Through each moment I can see infinite moments lined up, waiting. Why has he gone where I cannot follow?”

rest my chemistry - interpol
But you're so young, You're so young
You look in my eyes
So young, So sweet, So surprised
You look so young like a daisy in my lazy eyes
Tonight, I'm gonna rest my chemistry.
THE SUN - PORTUGAL. THE MAN
If you're talking to the moon,
The moon might sing about the universe
Shouting: "I don't need, I don't need time",
I breathe in time.
Where are we now?
MY BODY IS A CAGE - ARCADE FIRE
My body is a cage that keeps me
From dancing with the one I love
But my mind holds the key
You're standing next to me
My mind holds the key
ASTRONAUT - AMANDA PALMER
And I am still not getting what I want
I want to touch the back of your right arm
I wish you could remind me who I was
Because every day I'm a little further off
But you are, my love, the astronaut
Flying in the face of science
SET THE FIRE TO THE THIRD BAR - SNOW PATROL FT. MARTHA WAINWRIGHT
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
DARK PARADISE - LANA DEL REY
Every time I close my eyes
It's like a dark paradise
No one compares to you
I'm scared that you won't be waiting on the other side
MOON AND MOON - BAT FOR LASHES
Lover, when you don't lay with me
I'm a huntress for a husband lost at sea
If I had you here
Braid our hair together
I'd be boy and you'd be girl
Beautiful
ABOUT TODAY - THE NATIONAL
Today you were far away
and I didn't ask you why
What could I say, I was far away
You just walked away
and I just watched you
What could I say
How close am I to losing you?
SILVIA - MIIKE SNOW
And your skin is so white
Underneath the black night
And your voice cries out for the coup de grâce
And the lights go out, will there be a trace?
That I loved, Silvia
'TIL KINGDOM COME - COLDPLAY
In your tears and in your blood,
In your fire and in your flood,
I hear you laugh, I heard you sing,
"I wouldn't change a single thing."
For you, I'd wait 'til kingdom come.
