continuing w the theme of songs about interpersonal relationships, here's one for grant and carver

allies or enemies - the crane wives

The words I speak Are wildfires and weeds They spread like some awful damn disease And I swear, I didn't mean what I said I swear, I didn't mean it

i like the first verse especially bc it is very indicative of how i picture Grant's internal monologue over his foot-in-mouthism. He is bad at communicating, at bridging the gap between emotion and words and it really does not help in his efforts to repair his and Carver's relationship. Alongside just... I think misunderstanding Carver a lot, honestly I don't think he understands how much it means to him to be on the expedition until Carver is begging him to change his mind about leaving him behind (and he does change his mind! and still has a lot of what ifs about how carver would still be in kirkwall and not blighted if he hadn't)
