StringTheory27:That sounds like something I’d underline in a book.
DeadStrings:Maybe one day you will.In your tell-all memoir: How to Be Quiet Loudly.
StringTheory27:Subtitle: And Still Miss Your Flight.
DeadStrings:Speaking of flights—what do you listen to while you travel?
StringTheory27:The question is: Do I have a traveling list?You mean the one that changes every trip but always starts with something broody and ends with a power anthem?
DeadStrings:Exactly that.Give me your top five for this trip.
StringTheory27:Hmm.Okay.No judgment.
DeadStrings:Otis is judging already.

Top 5 Songs for Airport Existentialism:
“Bizarre Love Triangle” —New Order
Because nothing says, “Why am I like this?”like synths and heartbreak.
“Running Up That Hill” —Kate Bush
For dramatic stares out the window, and in case there’s any turbulence (emotional or otherwise).
“Just Like Heaven” —The Cure
So I don’t spiral too deep.It’s like a parachute made of pastel nostalgia.
“Obsession” —Animotion
For walking through terminals like I’m in a thriller-romance hybrid.
“Free Fallin’” —Tom Petty
Because somewhere between gate changes and overpriced coffee, I remember I’m still free—even if my luggage isn’t.
DeadStrings:Strong list.I’d follow you through Terminal 5 with that one.Want mine?
StringTheory27:It’s the least you could do.

Top 5 Songs for When the World’s Moving and You’re Just Along for the Ride:
“Life’s What You Make It” —Talk Talk
The song that quietly slaps you into optimism.Perfect for takeoff.
“Learning to Fly” —Pink Floyd
Little on-the-nose, but when the wings tilt upward, it hits.
“Boys Don’t Cry” —The Cure
For all those babies you know will be crying.
