Anatomy of a Relient K-sionship
15 Jul 2017Relient K has written a lot of music about romantic relationships - enough, in fact, to sketch a full-blown fling from start to finish. Given the intensity, I would estimate this happening over the span of at least two years.
- Sadie Hawkins Dance - the first spark
Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek - Mood Rings
- Over Thinking - internal questioning
Two Lefts Don’t Make a Right…But Three Do - The One I’m Waiting For
- Sleepin’ - long nights together; the relationship starts
Air for Free - The Best Thing
- Lost Boy - the honeymoon phase
Collapsible Lung - Candlelight
- Must Have Done Something Right - happiness together
Five Score and Seven Years Ago - Savannah
- At Least We Made It This Far - empty words, trying to reassure
The Bird and the Bee Sides - Come Right Out and Say It
- Which to Bury; Us or the Hatchet? - the breakup
Mmhmm - This Is the End (If You Want It)
- I Don’t Need a Soul - picking up the pieces
Forget and Not Slow Down - Empty House
