Starry, starry, starry

A sad and sweet mix for a girl who is moving away tomorrow. With recurring motifs of leaving, loss and stargazing, things at the forefront of my mind right now.

Spiritualized - Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space
I’ve been told only fools rush in.

Microphones - I Felt Your Shape
It was dumb to hold so tight.
The nights are cold, and I remember warmth. I could have sworn I wasn’t alone.

Elliott Smith - Between the Bars
Drink up, baby. Look at the stars. I’ll kiss you again between the bars.

Mountain Goats - Love Love Love
Love is gonna lead you by the hand into a white and soundless place.

Built to Spill - The Weather
Do you want to be outside in the cool night where the stars gravitate towards you?
As long as it’s talking with you, talk of the weather will do.

Joanna Newsom - Clam, Crab, Cockle, Cowrie
Morning without warning like a hole, and I watch you go.
I am watching you, and you are starry, starry, starry.

Notwist - Consequence
You’re the color, you’re the movement and the spin.
Leave me hypnotized, love.

Bonnie “Prince” Billy - Bed is for Sleeping
you see, love, I am yours for the knowing

Iron and Wine - The Trapeze Swinger
Please, remember me fondly.

Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine

Regina Spektor - Samson
You are my sweetest downfall.
The stars came falling on our heads, but they’re just old light.

Björk - Unravel
While you are away my heart comes undone, slowly unravels in a ball of yarn.

Band of Horses - I Go to the Barn Because I Like The
I’ll wait for you to come down, where you’ll find me, where we’ll shine.

Bob Dylan - Boots of Spanish Leather
If I had the stars from the darkest night and the diamonds from the deepest ocean,
I’d forsake them all for your sweet kiss, for that’s all I’m wishing to be owning.
