Wednesday Playlist – Later than Late “Animal Songs” Edition
Really, better late than never? The Wednesday Playlist from a few weeks ago. This one was animal songs – songs about people acting or feeling like animals. Inspired somewhat by my watching the movie “Where the Wild Things Are” and a lot by the Florence + The Machine song “Howl”
If you could only see the beast you’ve made of me
I held it in but now it seems you’ve set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we’re apart
Drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
Also put one of my favorite songs of all time, Poe’s “Wild” on there, and it’s interesting to me how similar the lyrics are to Howl’s.
You wrote the rules to try and contain me
You broke ‘em
Now you have untamed me
and I’m wild
I go wild
Still very caught up in the idea that sometimes we interact with each other in ways that make us feel insane and illogical, and more like we’re reacting on animal instinct than human reason. Sometimes it’s easier to attribute the way you’re feeling to hormones or instinct or some other force outside your control – because honestly your brain can’t be that addled all on its own, can it? No, no, no, of course not. It’s nature. Or something.
Sorry if there’s anyone I left off here. I can’t search for #wednesdayplaylist this far out, so unless it was an @reply to me I can’t find it. I may try to do better and be more timely next week. Then again I may not. I am an enigma, after all.
