aurens; a playlist inspired by seven pillars of wisdom

mumford&sons: nothing is written // raise my hands, paint my spirit gold

mumford&sons: awake my soul // lend me your hand and we’ll conquer them all; but lend me your heart and i’ll just let you fall 

pj harvey: the big guns called me back again // there was laughing and i could not laugh; there was singing and i could not sing

the wright brothers: blood on my hands (vocals) // oh lazarus, how did your debts get paid

choir of young believers: hollow talk // darkness rises in all you do

sara lov: my body is a cage // i’m standing on a stage of fear and self-doubt; it’s a hollow play but they’ll clap anyway

the civil wars: poison&wine // oh, i don’t love you; but i always will

shearwater: i was a cloud // into the burning eye of the sun without feeling

tbh I’m never not thinking about how lawrence of arabia tricked the audience into thinking the white dude would be the moral heart and center of the movie, but nope! it’s ali!!! he literally becomes the audience surrogate by the end of act 1, and he’s definitely the moral and heart of the movie by act 2. our heart breaks because his heart breaks. lawrence is the main character, but ali is the sympathetic figure of the film in the end.
