AND IT'S HARD TO WANT TO STAY

AWAKE

What's your favorite death cab song? Mine's what sarah said, if that wasn't obvious.

Bixby Creek Bridge, on the Big Sur coast of California, is one of the most photographed bridges in California due to its aesthetic design, graceful architecture and magnificent setting.

It is one of the most popular stops along the famous Big Sur coast in Central California.

🎧 album info/track recs/my favorite lines under the cut!! ↓↓↓

🌊 hideaway / the weepies (2008)

track rec: little bird ↳brush your gray wings in my head / say what you said / say it again / they tell me I'm crazy / but you told me / I'm golden

📼 in rainbows / radiohead (2007)

track rec: weird fishes/arpeggi ↳I'd be crazy not to follow / follow where you lead / your eyes / they turn me / turn me into phantoms / I follow to the edge / of the earth / and fall off / yeah, everybody leaves / if they get the chance / and this is my chance

🌉 narrow stairs / death cab for cutie (2008)

track rec: bixby canyon bridge ↳and then it started getting dark / I trudged back to where the car was parked / no closer to any kind of truth / as I must assume was the case for you

🚗 sam's town / the killers (2006)

track rec: bones ↳we took a backroad in my car / down to the ocean / it's only water and sand / and in the ocean we'll hold hands / but I don't really like you / apologetically dressed in the best / put on a heartbeat glide / without an answer / the thunder speaks for the sky

🕕 I forget where we were / ben howard (2014)

track rec: conrad ↳oh, I loved you with the good and the careless in me / but it all goes back

🔥 heretic pride / tmg (2008)

track rec: autoclave ↳when I try to open up to you, I get completely lost / houses swallowed by the earth, windows thick with frost / and I reach deep down within, but the pathways twist and turn / and there's no light anywhere, and nothing left to burn / and I am this great, unstable mass of blood and foam / and no emotion that's worth having could call my heart its home

🌹 violet street / local natives (2019)

track rec: when am I gonna lose you? ↳I remember you closing the shutters / and laying down by my side / and the light that was still slipping through / it was painting your body in stripes

🚪 retired from sad, new career in business / mitski (2013)

track rec: goodbye, my danish sweetheart ↳there's some kind of burning inside me / it's kept me from falling apart / and I'm sure that you've seen what it's done to my heart / but it's kept me from falling apart / now here I lay as I wonder about you / would you just tell me what I'm meant to do? / 'cause I've waited and watered my heart 'til it grew / you can see how it's blossomed for you

🚀 how to: friend, love, freefall / rks (2018)

track rec: mission to mars ↳we changed the format completely, cut the filler for meat / it's just blood on your TV making killings for free / the ticket lines are past the sign down at the end of the street / meet and greet, VIPs go a million a piece / we delayed the show for entry and so expired on the lease / now we're gonna re-release it, t.b.d / change the title to: fuck you / it's what you want it to be / when you know it only pay to make nice / pack your shit and standby, please / your friends are trying to leave and get high

Black Sand Shores, CA (No. 1)

Governor Juan Alvarado granted Rancho San Jose y Sur Chiquito, including the land from Carmel to near Palo Colorado Canyon, to José Castro in about 1848. Castro documented a trail from Monterey to Palo Colorado Canyon used by Native Americans when he filed a map of his purchase in 1853. When the region was first settled by European immigrants in 1853, it was the United States' "last frontier".

After California gained statehood, the trail from Carmel to Mill Creek (present-day Bixby Canyon) was declared a public road by the county in 1855. But the California coast south of Carmel and north of San Simeon remained one of the most remote regions in the state, rivaling at the time nearly any other region in the United States for its difficult access. It remained largely an untouched wilderness until early in the twentieth century.

Yankee businessman Charles Henry Bixby bought several hundred acres south of Mill Creek and harvested lumber, tanbark, and lime. Without a road, he resorted to using a landing chute and hoist to transfer the goods to steamers anchored offshore.

Bixby tried to persuade the county to build a road to Bixby Creek, but they refused, replying that "no one would want to live there". In 1870, Bixby and his father hired men to improve the track and constructed the first wagon road including 23 bridges from the Carmel Mission to Bixby Creek.

Further south, the Rancho El Sur grant extended from the mouth of Little Sur River inland about 2.5 miles (4.0 km) over the coastal mountains and south along the coast past the mouth of the Big Sur River to Cooper's Point. It was largely a cattle operation. There was a brief industrial boom in the late 19th century, but the early decades of the twentieth century passed with few changes, and Big Sur remained a nearly inaccessible wilderness.

The Official Taker of the Third Path Playlist

Featuring a lot of Baths.

Also available on YouTube music. List below for those who like to listen on other platforms.

I'm not usually a WIP playlist maker (very much an album guy in general) but this story has been burbling about the swamp-cauldron of my mind for long enough that this playlist started to congeal on its own sometime last year. Now it's my go-to during the (infrequent) times I want music playing while I'm drafting. Mostly I listen to it on my commute and think about my Guys.

Into the Unknown (feat. Jack Jones) - Petrojvic Blasting Company (from Over the Garden Wall)

Orator - Baths (Altir)

Fall Down, Never Get Back Up Again - La Dispute (Altir and Ji Tem)

Voyeur - Baths (Ji Tem)

No Eyes - Baths (Ji Tem)

Bixby Canyon Bridge - Death Cab for Cutie (Ji Tem)

Miasma Sky - Baths (Gent)

Cold - The Cure (Gent)

Autumn Leaves Revisited - Thursday (Lin and Gent)

Even the Sand Is Made Of Seashells - Thursday (Lin and Gent)

What Time Taught Us - The Dear Hunter (Lin and Gent)

Mandala - The Dear Hunter ("We")

Progress - The Dear Hunter (Lin and Gent)

Therma - The Dear Hunter

(Bonus Track) Aminals - Baths (Altir and Ji Tem; Rukne and Hinno; the faerie kids)

A lot of WIP playlist makers are fucking wizards and have playlists that perfectly capture their characters and plots. I am not a wizard. At least, not at this. None of these songs are totally representative of any one thing - some of them are only there because of one particular line - but I think all of them capture the "vibes" for specific points in the story well enough that, together, they form a loosely chronological representation of the story in Taker of the Third Path. I've marked in the list above who I imagine the "perspective" or focus of the song corresponds to. If nothing else, it's a collection of really great songs (a few of which are some of my Favorite of All Time) that I find super compelling when holding up Lin and Gent and everyone else and turning them so they catch the light just right.

If you're curious about Taker of the Third Path, or if you're beta reading (!!!) and want an accompaniment, consider giving it a listen!
