Griddlehark Playlist
What the title says, primarily about their relationship although there are a few individualized songs
(very heavily Harrow the ninth biased, which is the most romantic book despite or because of one member of the couple not being to able to remember the other)
Liner notes below cut, also, this is a perpetual WIP like all my playlists
Lioness- The World Is a Beautiful Place and I am Not Afraid to Die
When I was with you we were an estuary
I don’t know if I come from the river or the sea
All I know is you are both my opposite and my reflection
We were two bodies
Running out of room in this world
We carved space in ourselves for the other to borrow, for the other to burrow
I wake up sometimes with ghost traces of your lips on my bones
Cosmia- Joanna Newsom (Joanna Newsom isn't on Spotify, track these down elsewhere)
Water were your limbs
And the fire was your hair —
And then the moonlight caught your eye
And you rose through the air
Well, if you've seen true light
Then this is my prayer:
Will you call me, when you get there?
And I miss your precious heart;
NFWMB- Hozier
Give your heart and soul to charity
'Cause the rest of you
The best of you
Honey, belongs to me
If I was born as a blackthorn tree
I'd wanna be felled by you
Held by you
Fuel the pyre of your enemies
Daughter of God- Phemiec
Doubt’s an elastic that snaps where you grasp it
With idle hands clasped on your wrist just as sharp as
A kiss on the scar where you carved out her name
Or a line that is straight and confined to your fate
You’re resigned to be damned by your hand in her hand
She will hold you as soft as a feather on water
You float on her fingers, she pulls you apart
It’s not hard, it won't hurt, it’s not right for a daughter of god
There is a Light that Never Goes Out- Dum Dum Girls (cover)
And in the darkened underpass
I thought oh, God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn't ask
And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die
Take Me to Church- Hozier (I'm allowed two screamingly obvious songs)
We were born sick, you heard them say it
My church offers no absolutes
She tells me, "Worship in the bedroom"
The only heaven I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with you
I was born sick, but I love it
Command me to be well
Never Let Me Go- Florence+ the Machine (This is the other one)
And the arms of the ocean are carrying me
And all this devotion was rushing out of me
And the crashes are heaven for a sinner like me
But the arms of the ocean delivered me
The Only Thing- Sufjan Stevens
Do I care if I survive this? Bury the dead where they’re found
In a veil of great surprises, I wonder did you love me at all?
Should I tear my eyes out now?
Everything I see returns to you, somehow
Should I tear my heart out now?
Everything I feel returns to you, somehow
I want to save you from your sorrow
Los Ageless (Piano Version)- St. Vincent
How can anybody have you?
How can anybody have you and lose you?
How can anybody have you and lose you
And not lose their mind too?
I guess that's just me, honey, I guess that's how I'm built
I try to tell you I love you but it comes out all sick
I guess that's just me, honey, I guess that's how I'm built
I try to write you a love song but it comes out a lament
Running up that Hill- Kate Bush (Okay, three)
You don't wanna hurt me
But see how deep the bullet lies
Unaware, I'm tearin' you asunder
Oh, there is thunder in our hearts
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Oh, tell me, we both matter, don't we?
New Ceremony- Dry the River
I waited by your bedside
And couldn't close my eyes all night
I named you like a prayer
It's anybody's guess how
The angel of doubt came down
And crept into your bed
But after we danced to the shipping forecast
The words escaped your mouth:
"I know it's gotta stop, love, but I don't know how."
Now the stairs forget your shoes
And the gate don't creak for want of you
But the jury's out on me
We're wise beyond our years
But we're good at bad ideas, my love
Or so it seems to be
OH ANNA- The Microphones
Oh Anna, take me in with water arms surround me, blow your breezy charms around me
Oh Anna, you're a house of many rooms and all the secrets deep entombed within you
I know a few
Oh Anna, take me to your eerie heights above, paint white letters "I you love"
Oh Anna, drop me off a cliff
I fall
Weights and Measures- Dry the River
I was prepared to love you
And never expect anything of you
There's no patron saint of silent restraint
Baby there ain't no sword in our lake
Just a funeral wake
Just because we're beasts of blame by nature
Doesn't mean that you should carry it again
It's a question of needs and not rosary beads in the end
No Shade in the Shadow of the Cross- Sufjan Stevens
Drag me to hell in the valley of The Dalles
Like my mother
Give wings to a stone
It’s only the shadow of a cross
I slept on my back in the shade of the meadowlark
Like a champion
Get drunk to get laid
I take one more hit when you depart
The Bomb- Florence+ the Machine (This is "Kiriona Gaia has been abandoned by everybody except two of the worst people in canon and everything except being a warcrimes corpse puppet and she's TOTALLY FINE with that, honest")
But if I was free to love you
You wouldn't want me, would you?
Unavailability is the only thing that turns you on
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I've blown apart my life for you
And bodies hit the floor for you
And break me, shake me, devastate me
Come here, baby, tell me that I'm wrong
I don't love you, I just love the bomb (Oh, oh, oh)
I let it burn, but it just had to be done (Oh, oh, oh)
And I'm in ruins, but is it what I wanted all along?
Sometimes, you get the girl, sometimes, you get the song
Francesca- Hozier
Do you think I'd give up?
That this might've shook the love from me
Or that I was on the brink?
How could you think, darlin', I'd scare so easily?
Now that it's done
There's not one thing that I would change
My life was a storm since I was born
How could I fear any hurricane?
If someone asked me at the end
I'd tell them, "Put me back in it" (Da-ah, darlin')
I would do it again (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
If I could hold you for a minute (Da-ah, darlin')
I'd go through it again (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
In a Sweater Poorly Knit- mewithoutYou
You're a door-without-a-key, a field-without-a-fence
You made a holy fool of me and I've thanked you ever since
And if she comes circling back we'll end where we'd begun
Like two pennies on the train track the train crushed into one
But if I'm a crown without a king, if I'm a broken open seed
If I come without a thing, then I come with all I need
No boat out in the blue, no place to rest your head
The trap I set for you seems to have caught my leg instead
Kept Woman- Fleet Foxes (Tbh this is probably the soundtrack to the ideal stigmata fisting/heart regrowing scene)
God above saw, ever in the mind
Blue and white irises in a line
Under your nameless shame
I left you in frame, and you rose to be ossified
As a Rose of the Oceanside
Can you be slow for a little while?
Widow your soul for another mile?
I'm just the same as when
You saw me back then
And we're bound to be reconciled
We're bound to be reconciled
The Chain- Fleetwood Mac
And if you don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you sayin'
You would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
And if you don't love me now
(You don't love me now)
You will never love me again
I can still hear you sayin' (Still hear you saying)
You would never break the chain
(Never break the chain)
Time as a Symptom- Joanna Newsom
So it would seem to be true:
When cruel birth debases, we forget
When cruel death debases
We believe it erases all the rest
That precedes
In the nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life;
The nullifying, defeating, negating, repeating
Joy of life
