Song by song

Everybody Wants To Rule The World

A cold, ominous slow burn about power and ambition, sung with a calm that makes the dystopia feel closer.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hunger Games, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1

Green Light

A messy post-breakup night turns into ecstatic release: heartbreak, waiting for the signal to let go, and dancing it out.

Lady Bird, Frances Ha, Booksmart

Liability

A raw, quietly devastating confession of feeling too much and being left behind, torn between loving yourself and believing you're a burden to others.

Lady Bird, Frances Ha, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Oceanic Feeling

A wistful, dreamy swell of melancholy and wonder that feels both intimate and boundless.

The Shape of Water, Call Me by Your Name, Moana

Ribs

A shimmering, anxious ache about teenage nostalgia and the terror of growing up and apart from the people you love, with a night-long rush of friends, dancing and dread.

Lady Bird, Eighth Grade, Booksmart

Supercut

A dizzy, danceable post-breakup montage: replaying the highlights of a lost love in the glow of memory, knowing it was real and also over.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, (500) Days of Summer, Blue Valentine

Yellow Flicker Beat

A defiant, solemn rallying cry of a young rebel leader rising from the ashes, wary but ready to fight and light a spark in the dark.
