in silence and reverie -  a jim kirk fanmix for the man and captain whose soul is as complex as the universe

“atomic man” - portugal. the man // “I’m atomic man, I’m the moon that pulls the tides that take the sand”

“rox in the box” - the decemberists // “and it’s one, two, three on the wrong side of the lee. what were you meant for? what were you meant for?”

“cough syrup” - young the giant // “and so I run now to the things they said could restore me; restore life the way it should be”

“helplessness blues” - fleet foxes // “and now after some thinking, I’d say I’d rather be a functioning cog in some great machinery serving something beyond me. but I don’t, I don’t know what that will be. I’ll get back to you someday; soon you will see”

“down in the valley” - the head and the heart // “Lord have mercy on my rough and rowdy ways. call it one drink too many, call it pride of a man. but it don’t make no difference if you sit or you stand, 'cause they both end in trouble and start with a grin.”

“when my time comes” - dawes // “oh you can judge all the world on the sparkle that you think it lacks. yes you can stare into the abyss but it’s staring right back”

“star of the age” - shearwater // “and in the bright flash an emptiness burns away. you trade the darkness of your mind for the star of the age”

“hold on” - alabama shakes // “bless my heart, bless my soul. didn’t think I’d make it to 22 years old. there must be someone up above sayin’, 'come on, you got to come on up. you got to hold on’”
