Smile ("Over" version)

Dark Assembly

Winners High

Nights Alone

This is the part of the story where Electra realizes 'you don't have to live like a refugee,' and seizes fate by the throat, so to speak. This synthpop track, as well as the other movements, reflects my own take on the story, minus the early propaganda which was introduced in the early plays. I wrote a blog post about this.

LYRICS (Lennon/McCartney)

When I call you up, your line's engaged.
I have had enough, so act your age.
We have lost the time, that was so hard to find.
And I will lose my mind.
If you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

I don't know why you, (oh, la la la).
Should want to hide, (oh, la la la).
But I can't get through, (oh, la la la).
My hands are tied, (oh, la la la).
I won't want to stay, (oh, la la la).
I don't have much to say, (oh, la la la).
But I get turned away, (oh, la la la).
And you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

Time after time.
You refuse to even listen.
I wouldn't mind.
If I knew what I was missing, (no, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't).

Though the days are few, (oh, la la la).
They're filled with tears, (oh, la la la).
And since I lost you, (oh, la la la).
It feels like years, (oh, la la la).
Yes, it seems so long, (oh, la la la).
Girl, since you've been gone, (oh, la la la).
And I just can't go on, (oh, la la la).
If you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

Time after time.
You refuse to even listen.
I wouldn't mind.
If I knew what I was missing, (no, I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't).

Though the days are few, (oh, la la la).
They're filled with tears, (oh, la la la).
And since I lost you, (oh, la la la).
It feels like years, (oh, la la la).
Yes, it seems so long, (oh, la la la).
Girl, since you've been gone, (oh, la la la).
And I just can't go on, (oh, la la la).
If you won't see me, (you won't see me).
You won't see me, (you won't see me).

You Won't See Me [The Beatles Cover]

Eighty miles past the county line
Gas light blinkin', I'm outta time
Dashboard glow and a lonesome hum
Radio fading like where I’m from
A sign flickers Vacancy Room for One
Just a ghost lit town under a no name sun
Pulled off the highway, heartbeat slow
Just me and the night and a need to let go

Somewhere between the lines and the lane
Where the road goes quiet and the sky looks strange
A place I found, but didn’t mean to stay
Caught in a dream I can't explain
I just closed my eyes for a little while
Now I’m stuck in a town that don't fit my smile
Just tryin’ to make it home tonight
Somewhere there between the lines

Lobby smells like smoke and rain
Bell rings hollow, front desk plain
Clerk with eyes like he’s seen it all
Said Room’s down back, next to the wall
Hallway whispers, time stands still
Each door’s a secret, each breath a thrill
Laid down heavy, dreams got strange
Like the town was a stage and I’d missed the change

Somewhere between the lines and the lane
Where the road goes quiet and the sky looks strange
A place I found, but didn’t mean to stay
Caught in a dream I can't explain
I just closed my eyes for a little while
Now I’m stuck in a town that don't fit my smile
Just tryin’ to make it home tonight
Somewhere there between the lines

I saw a girl in a diner booth
She sang a tune, low and smooth
Said she’d been here for a hundred moons
Waiting on a ride or a change of tune
Time moved sideways, clocks ran slow
Even my shadow didn’t wanna go
But the road calls back like a restless bell
And I left behind more than I could tell

Somewhere between the lines and the lane
Where the road goes quiet and the sky looks strange
A place I found, but didn’t mean to stay
Caught in a dream I can't explain
I just closed my eyes for a little while
Now I’m stuck in a town that don't fit my smile
Just tryin’ to make it home tonight
Somewhere there between the lines

Somewhere Between The Lines

Jeremias Langsämmer – As The Light Dims Slowly
A piano-led meditation unfolding at an adagio pace, As The Light Dims Slowly channels the hesitant phrasing of Erik Satie. Cello, violin, and soft strings offer gentle support, moving in and out of the piano's uncertain light. Sparse and reflective, the piece lingers in moments of pause as much as in sound, capturing the hush of evening as it slowly gives way to night.
