levityI don't have words for the last semester. I went into it wanting nothing more than to get out and thinking that there wasn't anyone there I didn't already know who was worth my time. The jury's still out on the leaving part, but all the people- the dissecting sessions and the late-night conversations and the singing and the evacuating to Allen's place when the floods struck and my kitchen disasters and all the amazing people- it was a bit of a trainwreck of a semester, academically, but I have no words for my gratitude for all the amazing people.
In place of trying to explain, here is my soundtrack for the first semester of med proper with UPCM 2016. There is, hopefully, more than enough rhyme to make up for the lack of reason.
For old friends and new.
Uncharted || Sara Bareilles
Just me, in a room sunk down in a house in a town, and I
Don't breathe, no I never meant to let it get away from me
Now, I've too much to hold, everybody has to get their hands on gold
And I want uncharted
Stuck under the ceiling I made, I can't help but feeling I'm going down
Ours || The Bravery
If I could hold this moment in my hands
I'd stop the world from moving
I'd stop the clocks from turning
Police On My Back || The Clash
I'm running down the railway track
Could you help me? Police on my back
They will catch me if I dare drop back
Won't you give me all the speed I lack?
Runaway || Maroon 5
Finally found the words to say
But I can't tell you if you turn around and run away
Dawn of the Dead || Does It Offend You, Yeah?
Today I stood and walked away
I’m never coming back this way
I've got my things, I'm here to stay
I'll try to pull the night away
Memories || Panic! At The Disco
When your passion's exaltation, then finding refuge is not enough
Another Day || RENT
Don't forget, get the moonlight out of your hair
Long ago you might have lit up my heart
But the fire's dead, ain't never ever gonna start
My Number || Tegan and Sara
If I saved you from drowning, promise me you'll never go away
Promise me you'll always stay
Vertigo || U2
It's everything I wish I didn't know except you give me something I can feel
Train in Vain (Stand by Me) || The Clash
Did you stand by me?
No way
I Think I'm Paranoid || Garbage
Bend me, break me, any way you need me
All I want is you
I Feel It All || Feist
Oh, I'll be the one who'll break my heart
I'll be the one to hold the gun
For the Girl || The Fratellis
Kickings for my sweetheart, bruises that I just don't miss
And she said, I don't like you, you can't stand me, I can't love you any more than this
Teenage Dream || Katy Perry
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
Baba O'Riley || The Who
Out here in the fields
I fight for my meals
I get my back into my living
I don't need to fight
To prove I'm right
I don't need to be forgiven
Sons and Daughters || The Decemberists
When we arrive, sons and daughters
We'll make our homes on the water
We'll build our walls aluminum
We'll fill our mouths with cinnamon
I Knew Prufrock Before He Got Famous || Frank Turner
Let's begin at the beginning: we're lovers and we're losers
We're heroes and we're pioneers, we're beggars and we're choosers
Skirting round the edges of the ideal demographic
We're almost on the guest list, but we're always stuck in traffic
The Mixed Tape || Jack's Mannequin
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo, I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Paper Bag || Fiona Apple
Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love
The Story of Us || Taylor Swift
Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know, is it killing you like it's killing me, yeah?
Gravity || Sara Bareilles
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity
Isang Dangkal || Paramita
Ewan ko ba kung anong meron ka
Sa tuwing nakakasama ka ako’y naiiba
Nais ko lang na ika’y maka-akbay
Makalakad ng sabay, makahawak ng kamay
Iisang dangkal na lang
Hindi pa makalapit
Bonus track, because I don't know where to put it, and because there's always a place for trading in wings for wheels: Frank Turner's cover of Thunder Road
