It's an old Stones song, but the lyrics about hopeless love and endless suffering instantly connected to O & E.

"Wild Horses" lyrics

Childhood living is easy to do
The things you wanted I bought them for you
Graceless lady you know who I am
You know I can't let you slide through my hands

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer a dull aching pain
Now you've decided to show me the same
No sweeping exit or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses couldn't drag me away
I know I've dreamed you a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken tears must be cried
Let's do some living after we die

Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them some day
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses we'll ride them some day

Mad World
All around me are familiar faces, worn out places, worn out faces...
This might just be because I've seen fan vids with this music to it, but the mood really does fit.

Someone else may have said this already, but other than Mad World (which I already mentioned in a previous post), the song Let the Right One Slip In very much reminds me of Eli and Oskar.

here's an old music video I found on youtube.
"When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it."

I can't stand country music, but "This Kiss" by Faith Hill suits the "seen with love" kiss between Oskar and Eli perfectly.

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.
