A Song That Feels Like Them: i wrote his app listening to a loop of “let me down easy” by gang of youths (since the world’s dark and often inhumane / relish our condition, come drinking in the rain) + “the show must go on” by the real tuesday weld (don’t believe them when they tell you / where you’re from’s where you belong / just get up off your knees and say / fuck you, i’m on my way)
A Song For Where They've Been: "don't stop" by owen pallett (my life it is a wreckage / and my life it is my own / how long, how long before they take the money away)
A Song For Where They Are: "rise up in the dirt" by voxtrot (but if I were a good man, would it really happen? / would you walk me home then every day from work? / maybe i'm a good man, wait and let it happen)
Anything Else: “hotwire the ferris wheel” by jens lekman (if you’re gonna write a song about this, then please don’t make it a sad song)
I feel silly leaving the lyrics in when no one else has done it but I went through all that trouble on my phone so they’re STAYING.

A Song That Feels Like Them: The Moon and Stars. Has his whole energy: a little wistful, a little cheeky. Wanderlust, romance, regret, always looking for something he can't name.
A Song For Where They've Been: Soldier's Poem. The source of his username, "there's no justice in the world/and there never was"

A Song That Feels Like Them: Lovely - Billie Eilish feat. Khalid; chilly, hollow, haunting but graceful.
Isn't it lovely? All alone
Heart made of glass, my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces, skin to bone
Hello, welcome home
A Song For Where They've Been: Wrecked - Imagine Dragons; the loss that made him tear his heart out.
They say that the time will heal it, the pain will go away
But everything, it reminds me of you and it comes in waves
The way you laugh when your shoulders shook, the time you took
To teach me all that you had taught
Tell me, how am I supposed to move on?
A Song For Where They Are: That's Okay - The Hush Sound; about leaving his world and reputation behind.
And when you're gone
Will they say your name?
And when you're gone
Will they love you the same?
If not, that's OK
Anything Else: Stray Italian Greyhound - Vienna Teng; a song for the emotions slowly creeping back up on him.
This stray Italian greyhound
These inconvenient fireworks
This ice-cream-covered screaming hyperactive thought
God, I just want to lay down
These colors make my eyes hurt
This feeling calls for everything that I am not
no subject
A Song That Feels Like Them: Welly Boots - The Amazing Devil; a quiet ghost, watching over you, quietly caring.
And just when you're about to give up every hope you have
You'll turn around, perched by the stairs
Someone's gone and left behind
A brand-new pair of scarlet welly boots
A Song For Where They've Been: Safe and Sound - Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider; "I held his hand in the dark when he died." Compassion, waiting for the end with a forgotten boy.
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
A Song For Where They Are: Zombie - The Cranberries; it's hard, being around this many people who are hurting this much, fighting a terrible war that's piling up the wounds.
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying
Anything Else: One More Light - Linkin Park; the core of Cole, his heartsong, everything he is and will ever be. If you need someone, if you have felt cold and alone, know that somewhere, someone cares.
Should've stayed, were there signs, I ignored?
Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In a sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
We're quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
/fires up the old Spotify
