#I watch you go by creepmouse

Move with the Melody (1/1) (jegulus)

Regulus was walking home from the library. While he had on a long coat and boots, his forgotten mitts left his hands to be bitten by the frigid air. It was sunny, but deceptively so. He could not wait for warmth of the fire to thaw his skin and a cup of tea to curl his hands around. He walked, trying not to sound too out of breath when strangers passed. As music flooded his ears, he fell too deep into the lyrics.

I watch you go, go away, go away, miles more than before

I’ll watch and wait, watch and wait, watch in place, where we were before

He blinked and brought himself out of it. If his phone wasn’t underneath his many layers he would’ve changed it. He should’ve changed it anyway but Regulus never did what he should do.

You'll settle down, settle down in your town, with new friends, to hold

Hold, hold me down, with your smile and with your frown, Oh those times were yesterday

Oh and those days, they weren't gold, they were fine, take your fool's gold

I won't settle down, for the past and not the now

I'll move on

Fuck, Regulus thought. Today was too much of James. James did live rent free in Regulus’ mind, but the eviction was long overdue. He tried to shake it away as he tugged his zipper down haughtily and searched for his phone, quickly switching it to the next. He didn’t care what played, as long as it wasn’t that.

His ears were filled quickly with a piano concerto. He sighed deeply, and took in a sharp breath of the cold air, focusing on the instruments. No. 21, he thought, hmmm C Major, Mozart obviously. He scrunched his nose, but this version was likely the London Mozart Players. He didn’t mind this version, and loved playing this piece honestly.

He focused on the music as he walked and walked, playing it over and over again until finally he reached his flat. Maybe Remus would be home and want to play chess with him. He needed to distraction, because just stepping through the doorway brought memories of James pushing him up against it. He didn’t want to think about James--couldn’t think about James. James didn’t want him anymore, and he needed to move on.

He wished he could just play through the missing him part like song, skipping it when it was too loud or too annoying or he simply did not want to hear it anymore. Everyone keeps telling him its his own fault, or well maybe its his own thoughts, he can’t really tell anymore. His thoughts spiralled into berating himself as the kettle boiled and clicked off.

He finished making his tea, his thoughts landing on: you shouldn’t even be surprised, who could love you anyways, and moved to sit at the piano. He needed to get out of himself. Aside from scratching all of his skin off, playing was the only thing that would let out the bubbling in his blood. He let his attachment, his physicality of the music, the muscles and arch of his back lead him out of his mind.

Remus came home to a terribly solemn tune, and immediately understood why. Remus moved quickly to sit with him, and the pair may have been the suffer in silence type, they often found comfort in each other’s shared silence.

By the end of the night, Remus had only asked one question: “Do you want to talk about?”

Regulus had only given one response: “It is James,”

So they both knew that meant it was better off left unsaid.

I watch you go, go away, go away, miles more than before

But I, I won't wait, I won't wait, I won't wait

I've moved on

🎧

3, 9, 16, 17, 21

Yo!

3. Song by your favourite band ❤️

Ooooh. How do I choose. I change my mind all the time and don't really have a favourite but my top artist on Spotify last year was Nothing But Thieves, so I'll say Futureproof by them

9. Song you have seen live 🤯

The best of you- Foo Fighters. Saw them when I was 13 (dad bought us tickets) and it was life changing I stg

16. Song you recently discovered

I watch you go- Creepmouse (it feels nostalgic? Great tune)

17. Underrated song 🤔

All Cried Out- Alison Moyet. This woman can sing and I will go nuts for it every time. It's for drama and style and heart and is great for singing in the shower while pretending the water is rain

21. Song you dance to 🕺

Juice- Lizzo. You can't not dance, it's a certified banger (it should be noted I have roughly 3 moves that I recycle regardless of the genre of music. I make it work)

im developing a strange relationship to this band and its vocalist. excited for uhh was it, Too Long, to come out though.

[tears-of-boredom]

i feel like I should leave i watch you go out of any spotify statistic. its my songs georg because of that like, one week, when i left it playing anytime I could because i wanted to support creepmouse. dont get me wrong its a good song and even without that week it would definetly be at least in my top 20, but the statistics are skewed because i didnt even have my sound on half the time spotify thinks i listened to it. just,, bump it down a couple placings.

Why cant you pin more than one post man. Like i want to keep that Niinistö quote until the war in question has ended at least, but I also wanna like pin a song there. I'm reinventing myspace arent I. But i just want to have a song that gives a vibe of my character at the top so people know what the vibes are. Mostly i just wanna get more people listening to I Watch You Go by creepmouse. But also it could be a thing that circulates around.
