Someday you will find me
Beneath the landslide
In a champagne supernova in the sky

Bodyguard Tempting Fate
Obiyuki Trope Madness 2024 Playlist for Bodyguard Crush
Another early Obi playlist using the most broadly themed trope, so I could include some songs I’ve been wanting to use for a while! Most songs have some common themes from previous playlists (arrows, snow, green vs. gold) but I had a difficult time naming this playlist before noticing the lyric “troublemaker tempting fate” from the Nada Surf song.
Bodyguard Tempting Fate
An Arrow in the Wall- Death Cab for Cutie
Acrid- The Beths
Troublemaker- Nada Surf
Bite The Hand- boygenius
Whose Authority- Nada Surf
The State of Gold, Pt. 1- Matt Pond PA
Bring You Down- The Dear Hunter
Green Eyes, Red Face- Lucy Dacus
Copper Mine- Matt Pond PA
Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:
An Arrow in the Wall- Death Cab for Cutie
My heart runs on gasoline vapors
The thousand drums waking up the neighbors
But I can feel the fissures in the freeways
The rusted steel, deception in the handshakes
An arrow in the wall
Take it as a warning
That you are gonna fall
Even if you're soaring
There's more than one way to get your freedom
Acrid- The Beths
Acrid, the smell of burning rubber is a daily feature
When I throw myself into reverse
Check out of my surroundings
Backing up so blindly, my back to the universe
Like a ship out of commission
Like an arrow always missing
I'm trying to lie like a pro
And I know it looks easy from the outside
But it's hard to hold your brow just so
Like a record slowly twisting
Like an arrow always missing
I'm always whistling by
But it's you I want to run into
Tragic, the messages I send my mind post-midnight
Are showing seen but no reply
So I mash the keys a million times for a million years
And maybe by chance I'll say it right
Closing in on your middle distance
Filling quivers with ammunition
But I'm always missing you
I want to run into you
Like a light burning bright in your hard heart
I won't make a sound when I go dark
Can you see me through
Troublemaker- Nada Surf
Why do I feel bad again?
I shouldn't be sad or miss a grin
Doubt creeps in and doubt creeps out
Skews the view from my cloud
Troublemaker tempting fate
Questioning the path I take
Showing me the twists and turns
The forks and points of no return
Every day I choose to spend the rest of my life with her
And every day I break the molds of lives and worlds
I already miss the things that I will never know
I will never know the things that I've already missed
Bite The Hand- boygenius
I can't hear you, you're too far away
I can't see you, the light is in my face
I can't touch you, I wouldn't if I could
Here's the best part distilled for you
But you want what I can't give to you
Your hands are gravity while my hands are tied
I can't love you how you want me to
Whose Authority- Nada Surf
I walk like you guide me, my eyes
Are shut like I'm blind
Turn to you and listening and tryin'
To be in your mind
Surprised in translation
World without end
How do you stay where
You most want to be?
Where'd you get the patience
Did it come easily?
On whose authority
I have none over me
The State of Gold, Pt. 1- Matt Pond PA
I might have a drink to be myself
I hope nobody notices tonight what it takes to be real
To truly keep this lamppost standing
I don’t care if anyone carries me
I don’t care if anyone drops me
Cause I know how to be alone
At least I’ve learned how to be alone
We might have to fight to get out
That’s the way I picture almost every night below stars
Below the crown of heaven
All I care about is your sentences
And all the secrets you left down in them
There’s so much we’ll never know
All the vastness in the word hello
There's more than one way to live
There's more than one way to love
There's more than one way to give
I won't stop climbing to the state of gold
In the ether above our reach is the state of gold worth believing in
Bring You Down- The Dear Hunter
You took me by surprise
A stranger through my eager eyes
I tried so hard to hide
The cynic in me far from sight
But moments still arise when
My flaws get the best of me
So don't let me bring you down
No, don't let me bring you down
Green Eyes, Red Face- Lucy Dacus
Slow dancing
At low tide
Drawn to move
By the moon
And I see the seat next to yours is unoccupied
And I was wondering if you'd let me come and sit by your side
And I got plenty of affection
I'll be glad to show you some time
What am I supposed to do
With you in the room?
What am I supposed to say
With your green eyes on my red face?
Copper Mine- Matt Pond PA
When it snows from above the towers
The ground stays still - it can't get away
Clothe the roofs hour after hour
With this ease ignore the obvious
Heard the cold lost all its power
If we go let's go away

Listen/purchase: Halloween Two by matt pond PA
The head is haunted, but it belongs to me
An amplified apology
A skeleton in a window frame, giving candy away
Sometimes I feel the same

"Halloween" Da Matt Pond PA - Traduzione Italiana
Matt Pond PA – Halloween
Felice Halloween a tutti!
Went to where the people were on a saturday night
Sono andato dove erano la gente un sabato note
Seems like it always seems
Sembra come sembra sempre
Where i go i want to leave
Dove vado, voglio partire
I thought we were doing fine with our lives
Ho pensato che ce la stavamo cavando bene con le nostre vite
There are people who will tell you
C’è sempre qualcosa di meglio
There is always something better
C’è la gente che ti dirà
If you don't know or care you'll be alright
Se non sai o non ti importa, starai bene
I heard it's modern to be stupid
Ho sentito che è moderno essere stupido
You don't need to talk to look good
Non hai bisogno di parlare per stare bene
I surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
Mi sono sorpreso mentre la mia bocca ha cominciato parlare
There is nothing left of my nerves
Non mi è rimasta pazienza
As i lean over to ask her
Mentre mi chino per domandarle
Pardon the intrusion
Perdona l’intrusione
Could we leave before it gets bad
Possiamo andarcene prima che diventi spiacevole
I might smash up all these windows
Potrei fracassare tutte queste finestre
And set fire to the curtains
Ed incendierei le tende
Until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
Fino a che avanza e le mangia con il suo blu e rosso-arancio
Until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange
Fino a che il fuoco brucia e le mangia con il suo blu e rosso-arancio
If you don't know or care you'll be alright
Se non sai o non ti importa, starai bene
I heard it's modern to be stupid
Ho sentito che è moderno essere stupido
You don't need a thought to look good
Non hai bisogno d’un pensiero per stare bene
Pardon the intrusion
Perdona l’intrusione
Could we leave before it gets bad
Possiamo andarcene prima che diventi spiacevole
I might smash up all the windows
Potrei fracassare tutte queste finestre
And set fire to the curtains
Ed incendierei le tende
Went to where the people were on a saturday night
Sono andato dove erano la gente un sabato notte
Seems like it always seems
Sembra come sembra sempre
Where i go i want to leave
Dove vado, voglio partire
I surprised myself as my mouth started speaking

Backstage with Nikki Glaser
by Johnny Martyr
Peeking behind, much less going behind stage curtains can sometimes disillusion fans of their favorite celebrities. But when I hung out with comedian Nikki Glaser, I saw that who she is backstage is as compelling as who she is onstage.
What follows is an account of Nikki’s performance in Baltimore, MD on November 4, 2023, a stop on The Good Girl Tour shortly before Nikki…

Clinically Distracted
A Playlist for Obiyuki Do-Si-Do 2023 by @snowwhite-andtheknight
This is my first playlist directly based on a fanfic (by my partner @claudeng80) so I decided to focus on songs from my favorite Obiyuki feels band! The playlist title from “Counting Song” fits perfectly for apothecary assistant Obi’s daily thoughts and I also reused some songs from my original Obiyuki playlist that represent all those hours sitting on the roof watching her.
Clinically Distracted
All songs below by Matt Pond PA:
Several Arrows Later
The Hollows
The Trees And The Wild
A Part of the Woods
Scars and Stars
Closer
Counting Song
Flying Through The Scenery
Hunter
Summary lyrics are cited after the cut:
Several Arrows Later
Orange streetlight picks up when the summer sun goes
On tops of buildings red remains
It's the differences in light that gets our minds, that gets our minds
Give waking up for never fading
My intentions proved
I thought I would go further
Several arrows later will be fine
I am listening
I'm hearing every single word
I see breath and sighs and changing minds
I told myself not to remind me of the things I could've been
The Hollows
Erasers impress me everyday
They have a way of forgetting easily
Hide the hollows from me
I'm there, I am all around
I am spread out, the wide transparency
The Trees And The Wild
Even without sense
You stick to plans
I look back to the trees and the wild
I look back to see you smile
My street is ambivalent
It makes sure to tell me
Doesn't have to know
If I come or go
A Part of the Woods
I got lost in a part of the woods
Far from another
Cut the line between light and the good
Out of color
Understand though I can't see what's sound
Got branches waving
Deep in the dark woods
To stand where no one's stood
That was you in a part of the woods
Now we act like strangers
Scars and Stars
Stars and scars are shining upon the snow that's hiding
What's underneath and rotten should be forgotten
Though inside it's warmer the cold is good for keeping
All the secrets that slept are better off left sleeping
Stars and scars are shining they're not about revealing
They've covered up what's better, what's better off left keeping
Though your breath is speaking through the clouds are breathing
It's like they're trying to tell me that everything is seeing
Didn't want to go
Stayed out in the cold
I'm always at a loss
Ten times out of ten
I don't know where to start
Closer
It was the rocks you liked
So much you'd throw them
Down into the river's darkness
Closer and closer
The beam's width that's between us
Gets just a little leaner
We ought to fail to see it
Between the banks that roll
The glass hidden motion
Above we go on without knowing
The pines control the wild sarcasm
To hold us up
And time was held
Well worth the holding
Waste it when you try to save
Save it and it ends up wasted
You know these words
Counting Song
Counting lines in the poplar
I got lost about the thousandth time
Begin again - don't let anything get your mind
Clinically distracted
Wondered how the light broke through
If it's more than numbers
Then on comes the thoughts of truth
I was lying on my back outside
Below the shade of poplar leaves
The moss, grass and brown needles of the evergreen
Let's put it aside one last time for desire
After enough nights every thought will disappear
Flying Through The Scenery
The orange of the fire – the catch of the barbed wire
Running through the woods can cost – across your chest your breath you've lost
We got here by back roads – the turns the breaks the hills that roll
Seconds I would realize I never want to close my eyes
And here we are – we're flying through the scenery
I hope you turn your head – to see the moon has set
Miss it every time it goes – the further on the less I know
Hunter
Of all the breath laid on me
Yours seems sincere
Of all the thoughts incomplete
Yours seems so clear
Hunter do what you want to
Hunter do what you please
Though you had a big idea
Of what it was it isn't clear

If you were to create a playlist for Ryan + Marissa, what songs would you put on it? It can be anything from songs that have been on the show, songs you feel fit them as a couple, songs in movies & other T.V. shows, etc.
This is such a fun question! It's also impossible to nail down completely because I honestly imagine RM when I listen to music, lol. Here's my working list (they include head canon/future ideas):
Savior Complex by Phoebe Bridgers
Smoke Signals by Phoebe Bridgers

Nobody Compares to You by Griffin

Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
Ode to a Conversation Stuck in Your Throat by Del Water Gap
Summer Years by Death Cab
Near/Far by Death Cab
Transatlanticism by Death Cab
I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab
Such Great Heights by The Postal Service
So Contagious by Acceptance
England by The National
Light Years by The National
Slow Show by The National
I Should Live in Salt by The National
illicit affairs by Taylor Swift
tis the damn season by Taylor Swift
august by Taylor Swift
cardigan by Taylor Swift

The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script
If You Ever Come Back by The Script
Breakeven by The Script
May I by Trading Yesterday
Love Song Requiem by Trading Yesterday
Orange Sky by Alexi Murdoch
Forever Young by Youth Group (Alphaville cover)
Paint the Silence by South
Maybe I'm Amazed by Jem (Paul McCartney cover)
Honey and the Moon by Joseph Arthur
Dice by Finley Quaye and William Orbit
Yellow by Petra Haden and Bill Frisell (Coldplay cover)
Fix You by Coldplay
California 2005 by Phantom Planet
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Matt Pond PA (Neutral Milk Hotel cover)
Strange and Beautiful by Aqualung
Blue Light by Bloc Party
All Kinds of Time by Fountains of Wayne
Legendary by Lou Barlow
Trouble Sleeping by The Perishers
Nothing Like You and I by The Perishers
This is not at all exhaustive! A chunk of these came from this playlist. So much of my music tastes of the last year came from there. Whoever made it, bless you. Also I know the genres are kind of all over the place, lol. I tried not to make it too angsty, and I have songs like F2F by SZA that I think are applicable to very specific situations (late s3). Moon Song by Phoebe would work for s2 as well. Stuff like that. Basically every Phoebe song.
