Soundtrack, Visuals, & Vibes

A SOFTER WORLD:
Don't get angry, get some snacks and go to the movies! (What sounds better? Revenge or popcorn?) [x]
Dancing like a crazy person alone in your room. That's why. (like you are suddenly awake after a long winter.) [x]
Being stuck in 'the friend zone' is actually really nice. Who couldn't use more friends? [x]
I wonder how many hauntings go unreported because wailing and the clanking of chains is still better than an empty house. [x]
I leave my curtains open at night hoping someone will look in and see me. nobody ever sees me. (i'm not an exhibitionist. i'm just lonely.) [x]
Roses are red, Violets are blue, You can do whatever you want to me. (please do.) [x]

MUSIC:

Two - Sleeping at Last
(I just want to build you up, build you up til you’re good as new; and maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too)

Unsung - Vanessa Carlton
(I wait for the words on the tip of your tongue, I'm only as good as the last one)

Restraint - Florence + the Machine
(Am I quiet enough for you yet?)

This Is Not a Party - The Wombats
(This is not a party, it's a hurricane, and no one really cares so let's pretend we're all okay)

My Friends - Dar Williams
(And I'll act like I have faith and like that faith never ends, but I really just have friends)

Promises - Ryn Weaver
(Is that my lion's pride: I meet my mountain then I run and hide)

Homesick - Sleeping at Last
(It's poison ivy beneath our brave and trusting feet; all revelations come to us in recovery)

I'm Happy Just to Dance With You - The Beatles
(In this world there's nothing I would rather do, cause I'm happy just to dance with you)

Out on the Town - fun.
(And I know I could be more clever, and I know I could be more strong)

Weight of the World - Dar Williams
(You wanna take it off cause it makes your body hurt)

The Tower - Vienna Teng
(I need not to need, or else a love with intuition; someone who reaches out to my weakness and won't let go)

Free - Florence + The Machine
(But I hear the music, I feel the beat, and for a moment when I'm dancing, I am free)

Bonus videos:
Just (Tap) Dance - Postmodern Jukebox
Stay the Night With Me - Lena Hall and the Skivvies (NSFW for people in their underwear)

Other Miscast/Backwards performances mostly for dance inspiration: Mein Herr, Big Spender, Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, Nowadays / Hot Honey Rag, Forget About the Boy
Look, why is Ryn Weaver apparently what the inside of Jamie's head sounds like? Don't ask me, but it is: Octahate; The Fool; Promises; Stay Low
