because unlike his brother, Mildmay does not have an entire band dedicated to him (seriously, find me a song, any song, by The Smiths, and I will find you at least one lyric about Felix), he needs his own posty post. I am a hopelessly romantic over-dramatic sop, and sometimes songs speak to my heart about make-believe characters I pretend to be

By Way Of Sorrow by Dar Williams
You've been taken by the wind
You have known the kiss of sorrow
Doors that would not take you in
Outcast and a stranger

Daysleeper by R.E.M.
I see today with a newsprint fray
My night is colored headache grey
Don't wake me with so much
Daysleeper

The Mesopotamians by They Might Be Giants
Then they wouldn't understand a word we say,
So we'll scratch it all down into the clay
Half believing there will sometime come a day
Someone gives a damn
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand

these are specifically ginevra songs.

Vengeance is Sleeping by Neko Case
i didn't know what a brute i was
i dipped my cigarette and rode the bus
vengeance built me hastily
and i dragged the clanging notion
i was nobody, nobody, nobody.

all i had was my invention
and my love invented all of you
oh look what thoughts can do
what thoughts can do
if you're not run-out, dead and buried
you're most certifiably married

Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan
So now I'm goin' back again,
I got to get to her somehow.
All the people we used to know
They're an illusion to me now.
Some are mathematicians
Some are carpenter's wives.
Don't know how it all got started,
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
But me, I'm still on the road
Headin' for another joint
We always did feel the same,
We just saw it from a different point of view,
Tangled up in blue.
