Song of the Day: May 14
"Diamond on a Landmine” by Billy Talent
#song of the day
#buckle up babes this one's a nice showcase of how my brain retains memories which is to say it's a long path to a close destination
#in early 2011 when Leverage's season three had recently wrapped
#one of my friends was writing a character study piece for Eliot with a partial focus on his toxic relationship with Damien Moreau
#and they made a writing playlist for the fic that included this song
#(and also 'Laughing with a Mouth of Blood' by St Vincent. absolutely killer song)
#and I like the song but for whatever reason I never looked up anything else by Billy Talent
#(I was at the time not spending so much time looking up new music but more just letting it come to me
#in 2017 St Vincent came out with 'Los Ageless' and I was like oh I know her!! and I started paying attention to her albums
#which is good because then in 2021 she released the Daddy's Home album which has 'Pay Your Way in Pain' /and/ 'The Melting of the Sun'
#which are absolutely incredible tracks and my life would've been less without them)
#and then today I saw a Call of Duty post with lyrics from Billy Talent's 'Afraid of Heights'
#and I didn't recognize the lyrics so I went and pulled up the song as how I do
#and as it played I was like. do I know this? no. I know something like this. what is it?
#and at first I was convinced I'd just been listening to it but then why couldn't I place it? and then I realized I hadn't heard it recently
#but I had been /thinking/ about something /related/ to it--which I had been. sort of. there's a Damien Moreau post queued for tomorrow--
#and then in Afraid of Heights the chorus was wrapping up
#'you're the only one I'd follow til the end of time / if we fall we fall together baby don't think twice again'
#and something clicked and I dragged 'Diamond on a Landmine' up out of the depths of my various-artists folder
#it's a great song got an excellent build to it
#'alone at last / I can't wait til we're alone at last / all I wanted was a second chance / a second chance / to hold you in my arms at last
#and the visual of 'better watch your step / she's a diamond on a landmine' is fantastic
#anyway! I made giant scotch eggs with my family's spicy sausage ball mix instead of the normal breading and they're amazing
#a good day
#two weeks into May already can you imagine
