obliviousally_ljIt's 54F out and SO nice. I ran up to the store and my mood was elevated so much just by being out in the nice weather. Spring is so close I can taste it. It's supposed to be 60F tomorrow, I think!
Got a loose track list for the Anthony/Freckles mix. It'll probably be added to, but it's fun to figure where songs that remind me of them would go.
Really, my faggotry knows no bounds...
HAPPY RELATIONSHIP
This is the present. The good, young love relationship Freckles and Anthony have. Especially with this being Anthony's FIRST girlfriend, he learns a lot and she teaches him a lot.
MGMT - Electric Feel
Sun in the Amazon
With the voltage running through her skin
Standing there with nothing on
She gonna teach me how to swim
...
I said "Ooh, girl,
Shock me like an electric eel,
Baby girl,
Turn me on with your electric feel."
Bird York - Open Wider
Like a mantaray gliding serene through strange farmland,
Newly runaway, I got away clean in your car, in your hands.
Sliding the warm black tongue highway,
Your hands there, so smooth, between between my legs
The cornfields sigh with freedom
Feel the world open wider
(turning me inside out)
Kylie Minogue - Magnetic Electric
Oh, oh, oh, oh, don't ask me to dance
I'm scared this feeling's out of my hands
That look just took my breath away
It's plugged me into you
...
And I'm tuning in, tuning in
Slowly like a radio (radio, radio)
You pull me in, pull me in
Baby, and I can't let go

THE ACCIDENT
This is where things get rocky. After the accident where Anthony's parents die. It sort of throws both of them out of whack because, well, Anthony's dealing with the loss of his parents and Freckles is dealing with, well, Anthony. And trying to relate and understand where he's coming from with things when she can't possibly. She does a lot to stick beside him and help him through this, but it's not going to last...
Stabilo - Kidding Ourselves
And I, I wanted to curl up beside you
And die, at least for an hour or more
Depending on how you react
Depending on how you respond to me
I'll stick around
...
We're kidding ourselves, kidding ourselves
So what do you want from me
'Cause as long as there's a payphone and a taxi cab I'm alright 'cause I can leave home
We're kidding ourselves kidding ourselves
So what are you waiting for
'Cause even with a fast car and a cellphone I won't leave 'cause I'd be alone
Straylight Run - Mistakes We Knew We Were Making
So we bottled and shelved all our regrets,
Let them ferment and came back to our senses,
Drove back home and slept a few days,
Woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be,
...
We'll get over it,
Sad, strong, safe, and sober,
We'll move forward,
And know where we went wrong,
But you can't go home again.
Sarah McLachlan - Don't Give Up On Us
Shoulda known better
But I let things slide
I took you for granted
That you'd always be
The one for me
Baby I stopped tryin'
...
Ooooh baby don't give up on us
I know your heart is full of doubt
You don't need to be without
These loving arms
...
We'll hold you thru your darkest hour
I'll be using all my power
So I can reach you
Oh my love, don't give up on us
The Mountain Goats - Old College Try
From the entrance to the exit
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
I want to say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
Things will shortly get completely out of hand
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight
In the tips of my fingers
In the skin on my face
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
Ani DiFranco - School Night
She went over to his apartment
Clutching her decision
And he said, did you come here to tell me goodbye?
So she built a skyscraper of procrastination
And then she leaned out the twenty-fifth floor window
Of her reply
And she felt like an actress
Just reading her lines
When she finally said
"Yes. it's really goodbye this time,"
And far below was the blacktop
And the tiny toy cars
And it all fell so fast
And it all fell so far
...
And she said:
"You are a miracle but that is not all,
You are also a stiff drink and I am on call.
You are a party and I am a school night,
And I'm lookin' for my door key,
But you are my porch light."
--
POST-BREAKUP
After so long, they're both at their wits end. She's bending over backwards to help him however she can and he's withdrawing and coping through alcohol and shutting himself away in his workshop for days on end. Eventually, the pot boils over and the fight happens. Then, the (totally not guided along by outside, devious forces) breakup happens.
Emmy The Great - Canopies and Grapes
When I get to sleep I'll dream again of canopies and grapes
And wake shaking from the knowledge that the mattress holds your shape
I assume my phone is dead because it hasn't rung for months
...
Spend some time out to resuscitate my soul
Take up smoking and drink carrot juice and grow
Teach the mattress to expel you from its folds
Then dry my eyes and keep on walking til the motion makes me strong
Until one day i realise I don't remember that you're gone
We'll be strangers
who were lovers
I'll recover
It's so weird how time goes on
Mandy Moore - Few Days Down
It's a take-out weekend
It's a fake-out smile and pretend
If nobody sees you cry
You can say it was raining outside
...
And all that you want
Is a few days down
All that you need
A little time to drown
It's to be expected
With all the weight you carry 'round
All that you want is
A Few Days Down
Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - Tonight Was A Disaster
And you'll say that it's no big deal
But it's the shake in your voice
That gives it away, how you feel
And you couldn't slam the door any faster
...
And you'll say that it's no big deal
But it's the tears on your face
That give away how you feel
And you'll say tonight
Tonight was a disaster
Spill Canvas - 3685
I hope you never forget the tapping at your window
With the harsh cold and the jealousy
Running through my bones
We were both selfish, but I think I was more
...
I would like to thank you, for showing me
A part of myself that I have never seen
Yeah, we were young and dumb, but it still was fun
And I guess these things just tend to fall apart
Matt Nathanson - Come On Get Higher
I miss the sound of your voice
The loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet
Perfect words that you said
...
So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard
And drown me in love
--
EMPLOYMENT
At a point later down the road, she ends up in the familiar PA position. There's still something there, but it's not the same as it was before.
Bird York - Wicked Little High (Drawn To You)
Hey Mister Wrong
You're the tingle in my jeans
You're everything I don't want
But everything I need
I see other guys
But their kisses don't mean nothin'
Cause you're what I have in mind
I die everytime you walk by
I can't hide that I'm drawn to you
Desire is such a wicked little high
When the one you want is blind to you
Sia - Academia
I am a dash and you are a dot
When will you see that I am all that you've got
I'm a binary code that you cracked long ago
But to you I'm just a novel that you wish you'd never wrote
I'm greater than X and lesser than Y, so why is it
That I still can't catch your eye?
You're a cryptic crossword, a song I've never heard
While I sit here drawing circles I'm afraid of being hurt
...
Oh academia you can't pick me up
Soothe me with your words when I need your love
Bell X1 - West Of Her Spine
Sometimes early in the morning
I watch her breathing rise and fall
I've spilled in drunk beside her
In the stillness of dawn
See how her hair spills over
Like frayed ends of twine
All wild and wrapped around her
Like these wandering arms of mine
Well I hope they find a soft spot
Where I can lie for a while
Just south of her shoulder
And west of her spine
...
Now careful not to wake her
I trace back along the twine
To where her never endings sing
Of too much of my time
Monkey Swallows the Universe - Martin
It all began in Spring when he was sat in that chair looking so old and distant and half dead
And he began to think of all the books he hadn’t read and all the memories lost and that’s when he said
“Oh baby don’t you look at me no more
I’m lazy untalented and poor
I can’t give you everything that you ask for
Why don’t you go go go?”
...
She said “How’m I gonna go when you’re sitting on my coat?
Looks like I will have to stay til you’re on your feet again
Baby you’re just the same as me, I feel that way from time to time,
But you will be fine.”
