🎶 “You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days, and I’m just getting color back into my face. I’m just mad as hell cause I loved this place.” —So Long, London; Taylor Swift 🎶

Remember how a couple of days ago I said some of the recommendations would be a stretch? Well today is one of those days I was referring to. So Long, London is one of the songs I really struggled with to find a book with a similar vibe, story, or theme.

Now maybe is because I had just finished a rewatch of The Haunting of Bly Manor, but I couldn’t get the show out of my head for this song. While the context of the song does not match where I was initially associating the song, after the fact I feel like this works for Peter and Rebecca. The had a tumultuous relationship & I really feel like this song represents their story together and apart.

🎶 So Long, London
📖📺 The Haunting of Bly Manor (Turn of the Screw)
.
🎶 I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist. I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift, pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away.
.
🎶 I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the Heath, I stopped CPR, after all it’s no use. The spirit was gone, we would never come to.
.
🎶 And you say I abandoned the ship, but I was going down with it. My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment and my friends said it isn’t right to be scared.
.
🎶 So how much sad did you think I had, did you think I had in me? How much tragedy?
