Don’t Let Them See You Cry - Manchester Orchestra
And if it makes you less sad, we’ll start talking again.
And you can tell me how vile I already know that I am.
I’ll grow old and start acting my age.
I’ll be a brand new day in a life that you hate.

The Lumineers - The Dead Sea
“I stood alone, upon the platform in vain
Puerto Ricans they were playing me salsa in the rain
With open doors and manual locks
In fast food parking lots
I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth
Oh, I need somebody, I needed someone I could trust
I don’t gamble, but if I did I would bet on us
Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You’ll never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, like the Dead Sea
Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can’t you see,
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
You told me you were good at running away
Domestic life, it never suited you like a suitcase
You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map
Yes, there are times we live for somebody else
Your father died and you decided to live
It for yourself you felt, you just felt it was time
And I’m glad, ‘cause you with cats, that’s just not right
Like the Dead Sea
You told me I was like the Dead Sea
You’ll never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, I’m your Dead Sea
Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
The finest words you ever said to me
Honey can’t you see
I was born to be, be your Dead Sea
I’ve been down, I’ve been defeated
You’re the message I was heeding
Would you stay,
Would you stay the night?
Dead Sea,
Told me I was like the Dead Sea
Never sink when you are with me
Oh Lord, I’m your Dead Sea
Whoa, I’m like the Dead Sea
The nicest words you ever said to me
Honey can’t you see
I was born to be your Dead Sea”
Sometimes when I’m bored I like to arrange songs in a way that is contrary to what they are. So this is “Whistle” by Flo Rida, but arranged for piano as if it is a hauntingly beautiful love song.
