small, tasteless, and flawed
hoping to see, blinded like me
you tried to understand, but you’re just a man
open to scorn, just like me
Portishead – Small (Third, 2008)
if i could tear you from the ceiling
i know best have tried
i’d fill your every breath with meaning
and find a place we both could hide

i can never say no to anyone but you

Alexandre Desplat – Obituary (The French Dispatch, 2021)
look what you made me do, i’m with somebody new
ooh, baby, baby, i’m dancing with a stranger
Sam Smith & Normani – Dancing With a Stranger (2019)
we always end up here (we always end up here)
where nothing feels the same and all our dreams capsize
we ran out of ideas (we ran out of ideas)
and hold each other’s promise for one final time
Porcupine Tree – Love in the Past Tense (Closure / Continuation, 2022)
long highway, terrorizing
when i call your name, you stand before me
hear me roar…
HEAR ME ROAR…
Jezabels – Long Highway (Prisoner, 2011)
[instrumental]
Boards of Canada – Roygbiv (Music Has the Right to Children, 1998)
(time stand still) i’m not looking back, but i want to look around me now
(time stand still) see more of the people and the places that surround me now
Rush – Time Stand Still (Hold Your Fire, 1987)
i know we don’t live here anymore
we bought an old house on the danforth
she loves me and her body keeps me warm
and i’m happy here
