== [https://youtu.be/tHAhnJbGy9M On The Radio] - Regina Spektor ==
 
 
 
Alma starting to wake up, learning how to do things, but this is also about her general temper in life even before she wakes.
 
 
 
This is how it works<br />
 
You're young until you're not<br />
 
You love until you don't<br />
 
You try until you can't<br />
 
You laugh until you cry<br />
 
You cry until you laugh<br />
 
And everyone must breathe<br />
 
Until their dying breath<br />
 
<br />
 
No, ''this'' is how it works<br />
 
You peer inside yourself<br />
 
You take the things you like<br />
 
And try to love the things you took<br />
 
And then you take that love you made<br />
 
And stick it into some<br />
 
Someone else's heart<br />
 
Pumping someone else's blood<br />
 
And walking arm in arm<br />
 
You hope it don't get harmed<br />
 
But even if it does<br />
 
You'll just do it all again<br />

Could be a Flashback to how she meet None while going crazy. It didn't happen exactly like this way. and this is her own version of a "full moon".
 
 
 
I spoke to a man<br />Down at the tracks<br />And I ask him<br />How he don't go mad<br />He said 'Look here junior, don't you be so happy<br />And for Heaven's sake, don't you be so sad'<br />
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/GRipheS8dxE Blue Lips] - Regina Spektor ==
 
 
 
She died of hypothermia by following a voice in to the cold.
 
 
 
I like so many of the lyrics...
 
 
 
"He stumbled in to faith/God this is all that there is" and with breathing pictures arising in his mind.
 
 
 
And tragic human condition that this character would be trying to tell people about as they marched down the same railroad tracks she stopped at.
 
 
 
They started off beneath the knowledge tree<br />
 
Then they chopped it down to make white picket fences<br />
 
They marched along the railroad tracks<br />
 
And smiled real wide for the camera lenses<br />
 
They made it past the enemy lines<br />
 
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines<br />
 
 
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CePpTXIuQzY Pressure] - My Brightest Diamond ==
 
 
 
Working hard, getting overwhelmed. This is like when a person is overdoing it without realizing it. They'll get more and more worn down and ultimately if a stressor happens they might spiral in to illness.
 
 
 
I feel the weight of a billion years<br />(but) I try to do it alright<br />Working hard, little delight<br />I forgot the sound<br /><br />(So bright/heavy/wild cannot mine/tame/name)<br />...I try to do it alright<br />

Wake up time. It was confusing. It was giddy. It was frightening. It was glorious and colorful and full of joy. But maybe sometimes you'd want to vomit.
 
 
 
So when you met the new you<br />Were you scared?<br />Were you cold?<br />Were you kind?<br />Yeah when you met the new you<br />Did someone die inside?<br />
 
 
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/lFlcC8p8-nM Opening credits] - Run Lola Run ==
 
 
 
All the possibilities. Alive. voices. running. yes! Imperative YES. To the universe, "I exist."
 
 
 
"At the end of our exploring we shall not cease from exploration . . . and the end of all of our exploring will be to arrive where we started. . . and know the place for the first time." - T.S. Eliot<br />
 
<br />
 
"After the game is before the game" - Sepp Herberger<br />
 
<br />
 
"The ball is round. The game lasts 90 minutes. That's a fact. everything else is pure theory. Off we go!"<br />

blissed out. not just magic, but life.
 
 
 
Where do I start<br />Where do I begin<br /><br />Where do I start<br />Where do I begin<br />

edginess/agitation/energy going on. The kind that's building up from more and more stressors but which also digs up insight and productivity.
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-O0vHJzoFc Ghost] - Neutral Milk Hotel[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_the_Aeroplane_Over_the_Sea#Lyrics] ==
 
 
 
Going crazy with agitation towards fate. feeling a mix of helplessness and power. (Jeff Magnum wrote this album while thinking of Ann Frank.)
 
 
 
Ghost, ghost I know you live within me<br />I feel you as you fly<br />In thunder clouds above the city<br />Into one that I love<br />
 
 
 
With all that was left within me<br />Until we tore in two<br />Now wings and rings and there's so many<br />Waiting here for you<br />
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAEQuE-ygjA Pi R^2] - Clint Mansell ==
 
 
 
Prone to quiet.
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TudLjZ_4VhU Two Headed Boy] - Neutral Milk Hotel ==
 
 
 
More agitation. Listening. Hearkening back to her death when following voices in to the cold. But this is on the way out of quiet. The agitation is still around, though. until she fully recovers.
 
 
 
|I can hear as you tap on your jar<br />I am listening to hear where you are<br />I am listening to hear where you are<br />...
 
 
 
And I will take you and leave you alone<br />
 
Watching spirals of white softly flow<br />
 
Over your eyelids and all you did<br />
 
Will wait until the point when you let go<br />

A calming. healing.
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/oHTFmJk7fH0 Green Grass of Tunnel] - Múm ==
 
 
 
More calming and acceptance. a relaxed letting go and gaining insight from flocks... from static... from... existence. More so than the Ok Go thing. that video has a lot of obvious determinism. Which isn't something Alma likes.
 
 
 
Down from my ceiling<br />
 
Drips great noise.<br />...
 
 
 
And when I'm swimming in<br />
 
through a tunnel<br />
 
I shut my eyes.<br />
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/k2bfCd99Gf8 Trip Like I Do] - The Crystal Method ==
 
 
 
Wanting to share the joy of reality and existence. This is almost a constant state of being.
 
 
 
 
 
Another world<br />
 
another time<br />
 
In the age of wonder<br />
 
Another world<br />
 
another time<br />
 
This land was green and good<br />
 
Until the crystal cracked<br />
 
...
 
 
 
Uh, I want you to trip like me, I want you to have fun<br />
 
Me and you<br />
 
Oh my God this is the best<br />
 
 
 
I want you to trip like I do<br />
 
<br />
 
Oh my God<br />
 
<br />
 
I want you to trip like I do<br />
 
I want you to trip like I do<br />
 
I want you to trip like I do<br />
 
 
 
 
 
== [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTeZcHWHeW4 We're All in This Together] - Ben Lee ==
 
 
 
The experience of gaining insight from friends.

but were all in this together<br />

and on the subway<br />
 
we feel like strangers<br />
 
but were all in this together<br />

and she loves him<br />
 
but were all in this together<br />
 
<br />

in all the history of human connection<br />
 
cmon darling<br />

once you start to open your heart<br />
 
<br />

== [https://youtu.be/5R8EpAv4miA See Emily Play] - Pink floyd ==
 
 
 
Trying over and over and over to get something done. Sometimes in futility, but with an unselfconsciousness earnestness and work. And I think of Syd Barrett and wonder if she'll follow his road somehow. and how much insight will she have in her life. how much misunderstanding and futile searching. what will it come to in the end. Will she be like Syd?
 
 
 
Emily tries but misunderstands, ah ooh<br />
 
She's often inclined to borrow somebody's dreams till tomorrow<br />
 
There is no other day<br />
 
Let's try it another way<br />
 
<br />
 
You'll lose your mind and play<br />
 
Free games for May<br />
 
See Emily play<br />
 
<br />
 
Soon after dark Emily cries, ah ooh<br />
 
Gazing through trees in sorrow hardly a sound till tomorrow<br />
 
There is no other day<br />
 
Let's try it another way<br />
 
You'll lose your mind and play<br />
 
<br />
 
Free games for May<br />
 
See Emily play<br />
 
<br />
 
Put on a gown that touches the ground, ah ooh<br />
 
Float on a river forever and ever, Emily (Emily)<br />
 
<br />
 
There is no other day<br />
 
Let's try it another way<br />
 
You'll lose your mind and play<br />
 
Free games for May<br />
 
See Emily play<br />
 
 
 
==[https://vimeo.com/3977534 Untilted #1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaka_(song) Vaka] - Sigur Rós ==
 
 
 
Trying over and over and over but in a state of relaxation and acceptance. with voices in an imaginary but almost recognizable language. ([https://sigur-ros.co.uk/band/faq.php#07 hopelandic]). a lot better than the Syd stuff.
 
 
 
You sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You're so low<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
(you're so)<br />
 
<br />
 
you sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low tonight<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You're so low<br />
 
You're so alone<br />
 
You're so<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You sigh low<br />
 
You're so<br />

a murmuration.
 
 
 
== [https://youtu.be/MMEpaVL_WsU Eet] - Regina Spektor ==
 
 
 
You see him days after a dark murmuration. It's not good to go on '''your''' own. He goes on his own, and you are not equal to that.
 
 
 
When this person leaves for good, she doesn't want to forget him. Fuck that, she wants her memories.
 
 
 
It's like forgetting the words to your favorite song<br />
 
You can't believe it<br />
 
You were always singing along<br />
 
It was so easy and the words so sweet<br />
 
You can't remember<br />
 
You try to feel the beat<br />
