Five Songs for Artham Wingfeather

Soldier - Fleurie - Every single line fits him, but I especially love you want to take a drink of that promise land/you gotta wipe the dirt off of your hands/careful, son, you've got dreamer's plans.

Two Oruguitas - Sebastian Yatra - This is a beautiful love song, and it fits Artham and Arundelle perfectly. The Spanish version is also lovely. [Spanish translation note: oruguita=caterpillar & mariposa=butterfly, it's kind of hard to understand without knowing that.]

Space Talk - The Native Architects - I don't know why, but this is also 100% Artham & Arundelle's song.

Battle Scars - Paradise Falls - This is on every single Wingfeather playlist. It's perfect. For Artham, I especially love all the allusions to learning how to fly.

Forest Fire - Brighton - Artham & Esben. It's literally perfect and it hurts. It's about someone who lost a person close to them who they were supposed to take care of, and afterward they're lost. There's comparisons of the flames that killed the person to the flames that consume the bereaved of grief and guilt. Don't even get me started on the second verse. LOOK AT IT:

I keep imagining those flames that did rise And blackened up the sky. The light that showed you barefoot in the snow. And then the fires started building up inside: Exploding, blinding lights... Now I'm the one left screaming through the night.
