Dark nights and rough seas [a playlist]

[Aberystwyth, Wales. October 2021]

 Ben Howard - Esmeralda 

Oh, maybe you were free
Before my blackened wing covered you
I took the sing from your song
I made a bed where you don't belong

You won't call me
She fell beneath the wheels to help me up
Black sea, I failed to be the light
You found it alone

Agnes Obel - Fuel to Fire

Do you want me on your mind or do you want me to go on
I might be yours as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway

Roses on parade, they follow you around
Upon your shore as sure as I can say
Be gone be faraway

Like fuel to fire

Kings of Leon - Closer 

Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eyes
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry
Skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer

The Killers ft Lou Reed - Tranquilize 

Time it tells living in my home town,
Wedding bells they begin easy
Live it down, baby don't talk that much,
Baby knows, but baby don't tease me
In the park we could go walking,
Drowned in the dark or we could go sailing
On the sea

Metallica - The Unforgiven [I]

They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is

Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
