The Little Scientist
A Ryu Day Death Cab Mini-Playlist (for Ryu Appreciation Day by @ans-arcade)
(Image from the “Phoskia” art book, perfect for this playlist theme!)
Death Cab for Cutie recently released a 20th anniversary edition of The Photo Album and it inspired me to go back to my Death Cab winter songs, which are perfect for Ryu! This short playlist represents Ryu navigating the challenges of studying in the Lilias snow and crossing Clarines alone after the kidnapping…
All songs by Death Cab for Cutie:
I Was A Kaleidoscope
Blacking Out The Friction
Prove My Hypotheses
Scientist Studies
Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:
“I put on my overcoat and walked into winter
My teeth chattered rhythms
And they were grouped in twos or threes,
Like a morse code message was sent from me to me
Sledding down hills into oncoming traffic
The parents layered clothes
Until the children couldn't move
Then kept them outside til their noises were blue
And I got left there, too
-I Was A Kaleidoscope
“I don't mind the weather
I've got scarves and caps and sweaters
I've got long johns under slacks for blustery days
The hardest part is yet to come
When you will cross the country alone”
-Blacking Out the Friction
“I rode in their van; they stated,
“The parting was ugly, it brought him to tears”
You said wait here, prove all my hypotheses”
-Prove My Hypotheses
“What ghosts exist behind these attic walls?
There's got to be a simpler explanation
So you slept in a stocking cap and wool scarf,
Promises of payment were upon your shoulders constantly,
But don't forget to entertain cause this is your first defense”
-Scientist Studies
