Songs for Silent Movies

Something Corporate

A piano-led emotional anchor of the emo era. Centered by a nine-minute epic, it captures the specific melancholy of suburban youth and winter heartaches.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition into the bridge of Konstantine where the piano becomes frantic and the vocals reach a breaking point.
The raw, unpolished energy of the live vocals on Straw Dog captured in a London club.
The way the piano melody in Forget December mimics the falling of snow against a steady drum beat.
