Stancy Week - Day Five - Tender & Sweet (…and obviously also Music)
A mellow and sentimental song about celebrating an enduring, lifetime love just makes me think of a middle-aged Nancy and Steve slow-dancing in their living room after sharing a bottle of red, laughing like they're 16 again.
Out in the wild/ Party in nowhere land/ We start a fire/ Sparklers in every hand/ No phones, let go/ Cut all the strings tonight
Singin' aloud/ Howlin' right at the moon/ We're making out/ Life's never felt so good/ Bring on the storm/ We're wilin' out tonight
Then you lost your shoes as it started to rain/ And your jeans soaked through but you smiled anyway/ Throw our hearts in the air/ Hearts in the air/ Hearts in the air
We're catching lightning in a bottle/ Don't give a fuck about tomorrow/ Yeah, we're dancing in the backseat /We don't need gravity here in the afterglow/ Yeah, we're rolling with the thunder/ Now take a breath, we're going under/ We're getting busy on the backstreets/ We don't need gravity here in the afterglow
Back of the car/ Blankets and me and you/ We're running on perfectly wasted youth/ I'll hold you close/ We'll call this home tonight
And the fake tattoo that you drew on my arm/ Had an X and an O /Never change who you are/ throw our hearts in the air / Hearts in the air / Hearts in the air
Spend some time in Robin's beautiful mind as she navigates life post-Starcourt and finds comfort with the right people in To Have a Friend by @woodcoltonloc.
Nancy and Steve are so determined to protect their entire found family, sometimes with their signature weapons in hand, and they’re always the first to put themselves on the front lines of a bloody interdimensional war… and I love how that’s juxtaposed with their shiny, artfully tousled hair, a variety of carefully chosen shoes and accessories, and all their iconic, classic yet trendy, midwestern 80s teen outfits. They’re a preppy, killer cinnamon roll battle couple with giant eyes like cartoon deer. They’re hidden badasses who do damage at The Gap.
