Song of the Day: May 10
"The Ghosts of Beverly Drive” by Death Cab for Cutie
#song of the day#lovely rain today and exactly the right amount of cool and windy to get the smell of it in my room#spent my morning performing excel magic tricks for a /very/ appreciative audience I must say#one of my coworkers is very much in demand for help with identifying poorly-labeled fields in our oldest query structures#she's been around for a million billion years and can glance at a column and effortlessly expand its useless acronym title#I tapped her for a question and she was answering me on what I did not realize was an open zoom call in the conference room by her office#and then when she finished answering me she asked me for help with an excel formula in exchange#and I helped her (an easy fix. she is /not/ good at logic structures. always goes for OR when she needs AND and vice versa)#and then I was teasing her and said how she didn't have to hold onto her questions until she had something to barter with#that I like fixing things and I'll help for free#and then her laptop was physically wrenched around by another coworker farther down the table#(not as disorienting as actually being grabbed by the head and bodily turned but even over zoom it was still an Experience)#and the accosting coworker asked if that went for everybody. could anyone ask me for excel formula fixing help. please /please/#and I was like yes? can't guarantee I can do anything but sure? how much help could you need?#y'all I gotta say. like battling an enthusiastic and especially unthreatening hydra. chibi excel hydra.#it was incredibly satisfying after so many days of intense frustration to have problems I could so easily solve and for such grateful folks#and some of their formulas were pretty fun to set up. always love the little glimpses of behind-the-scenes in special exceptions#any time you put in conditional formatting for if a single specific person's ID is in the 'comment entered by' cell#there's a story there#anyway I heard so many people say 'I don't know why' this morning and then it was such a perfect cool gray day#I've been humming Ghosts of Beverly Drive all evening#'I don't know why I don't know why / I return to the scenes of these crimes#where the hedgerows slowly wind / through the ghosts of Beverly Drive'

ghosts of beverly drive by death cab is such a destiny 2 song and Specifically ghost & guardian to me. Tbh.
If only you had known me before the accident
For with that grand collision, came a grave consequence
Receptors overloaded, they burst and disconnect
'Til there was little feeling, please work with what is left
that part to me is about the first revive. if only you had known me before the accident (before you died), with that grand collision (the collapse), til there was little feeling, please work with what is left (losing all of your memories when revived and all you CAN do is work with what's left: your physical form, your ghost, this new world around you)
Oh, I need not be flattered that you've never been here before
So there's no need to mention that you've no firsts anymore
But if you let me be your skyline, I'll let you be the wave
That reduces me to rubble, but looked safe from far away
moving onwards. i can't articulate properly how this part makes me Think Of Them but "i need not be flattered that you've never been here before"... last city vibes. let me be your skyline is self-explanatory because, you know. the traveler.
I don't know why, I don't know why
I return to the scenes of these crimes
Where the hedgerows slowly wind
Through the ghosts of Beverly Drive
I don't know why, I don't know why
I don't know what I expect to find
Where all the news is second-hand
And everything just goes on as planned
returning to the scenes of these crimes just makes me think of when we go back to areas in-game that have some kind of Historic Lore Value, like going back to titan in SotD. the ghosts lyric is just a bonus here to me
all the news IS secondhand when you're getting it through comms and holoprojectors and radios, and everything always goes on

If only you had known me
Before the accident.
For with that grand collision, came a grave consequence
Receptors overloaded, they burst and disconnect
Til there was little feeling, please work with what is left...
Well I need not be flattered that you’ve never been here before
So there’s no need to mention that you’ve no firsts anymore
If you let me be your skyline, I’ll let you be the wave
That reduces me to rubble, but looks safe from far away..
I don’t know why, I don’t know why I return to the scenes of these crimes
Where the hedgerows slowly wind through the ghosts of Beverly drive
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
I don’t know what I expect to find
When all the news is secondhand, and everything just goes on as planned
You wanna teach but not be taught
And I wanna sell, but not be bought
So let us not be lonesome, so let us not be lonesome
Lost in between our needs and wants, our needs and wants..
I don’t know why, I don’t know why I return to the scenes of these crimes
Where the hedgerows slowly wind through the ghosts of Beverly drive
I don’t know why, I don’t know why
I don’t know what I expect to find
When all the news is secondhand, and everything just goes on as planned
I don’t know why, I don’t know why...
