I don't have the proper words to like describe it aptly, but the song 'same train home', despite it coming right after a gruesome tragedy, is just so fuckin soft and warm and comforting and not just in the 🎶"Oh let them stare in judgment, let them witness this/ Swan leans into Mercy, pulls her deep into a kiss" 🎶 sense (though I will argue that section is one of the best written parts of Warriors). I mean it in the sense of the train being the only constant among the lives of new yorkers in the story and how both the warriors and us, the audience, enjoy brief respites in it. I dunno how to fuckin describe really I'm at a loss now, but I like the brief comfort everyone involved takes in it as both the audience and the characters near the end of the story. oh and it also does help that the song is like genuinely fuckin beautiful

#im no new yorker so like i cant say this fkr sure #but im getting the feeling that the subways and all that train transpo is a big part of new york culture #and that finding brief respites in subways amidst the chaos of new york is a commonality #alongside the implication that everyone is like i dunno equal in a sense that they're all taking the same train home #it really does seem like a shared experience and a vital part of new york culture from my perspective as a outsider so like #yea i dunno i really dont havr the words #but i like how comforting it is #and i can kinda relate to it with the ph jeepneys and all that so yea #warriors #warriors album #warriors musical
