Fall 2023 Playlist
I can’t think of a more self-indulgent act than to create a playlist for complete strangers. Hopefully not all of you will stay that way.
Sam Fender – Seventeen Going Under
That’s the thing with anger It begs to stick around So it can fleece you of your beauty And leave you spent with nowt to offer
The Beths – Expert in A Dying Field
Can we erase our history Is it as easy as this Maybe in other realities The road never took this twist
Coyle Girelli – Do You Wanna Dance?
Guess I really should go home But I cant sleep alone Testing the water Till light bulbs burst And the cows come home
Neil Halstead – Digging Shelters
Eyes out on the road But no one comes along when you want them to
Hey you, over there On the chaise longue in your underwear What are you doing sitting down? You should be horizontal now
But you love who you love I melt when you walk in the room And we want what we want
Fail with consequence Lose with eloquence and smile I’m not in this movie I’m not in this song
Gang of Youths – In the Wake Of Your Leaving
And the idiot I am just figured In the wake of your leave That I’d never hear from you again
Maybe, I can never be everything you’ll ever need But I can put my arms around you
I couldn’t utter my love when it counted Ah, but I’m singing like a bird ’bout it now
And the world, still so wild, called to me I was lost, I’d been kept on my knees
I’m in the wind I don’t know long the breeze will let me stay Maybe your kiss Will calm the weather down
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth Heavy as a feather when you hit the dirt
It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful. It has the beauty of loneliness of pain: of strength and freedom.
The beauty of disappointment and never-satisfied love. The cruel beauty of nature and everlasting beauty of monotony.
Benjamin Britten
