[ YOUR EX-LOVER IS DEAD ]

a dirkjake playlist

[ with focus on The Break Up and reconciliation ]

i’m currently blocked on the piece i’m working on, so i whipped together a quick cover to share a dirkjake-ish song list

tracklist under the cut (with lyrics)

your ex-lover is dead // stars [ i’m not sorry i met you, i’m not sorry it’s over, i’m not sorry there’s nothing to save ]

bored of your love // meg & dia [ did you think about what i said last night, knowing you you probably didn’t. i could picture your face on the other side, completely oblivious ]

snack attack // a great big pile of leaves [ late at night you and i never work out quite right ]

yet again // grizzly bear [ lately it’s about all i can take. i will move and mend and mould this break ]

made for each other // something corporate [ and maybe we were made for each other/you can breathe but the air is running out ]

a pacific romance // last winter [ and i called your name through sunsets but you never noticed. your eyes were always closed ]

oh calamity // all time low [ its such a shame that we play strangers, no act to change what we’ve become. damn, it’s such a shame that we’ve built a wreck out of me ]

stubborn love // the lumineers [ and i don’t blame you, dear, for running like you did all these years. i would do the same, you best believe ]

p.s. goodbye // the chameleons [ you know in retrospect it seems there’s always danger in your dreams, like an actor stealing scenes, all the magic moments in your teens ]

do i wanna know // arctic monkeys [ been wondering if your heart’s still open, and if so i wanna know what time it shuts ]

can’t pretend // tom odell [ but i guess that’s love, i can’t pretend ]

hero // regina spektor [ i’m the hero of this story, don’t need to be saved ]

not your year // the weepies [ movies, tv screens reflect just what you expected. there’s a world of shiny people somewhere else out there following their bliss, living easy, getting kissed, while you wonder what else you’re doing wrong ]

dead oaks // now, now [ oh i’ve been up, and oh i don’t sleep enough, and oh i know we don’t talk as much but i can hear your voice on the phone when you’re up alone in your room ]

sleepless // futuremyth [ can you throw me a story, some advice that i don’t need, in the hope i could still relate with you. late sleep talks lead to feelings we forgot, they’re only whispers we’ll soon again be strangers to ]

maps // the yeah yeah yeahs [ wait, they don’t love you like i love you ]

konstantine // something corporate [ and if this is what it takes just to lie with my mistakes, and live with what i did to you, all the hell i put you through. i always catch the clock to 11:11, and now you want to talk. it’s not hard to dream you’ll always be my konstantine ]
