| Broken Semaphore |
The playlist for MIST OF KAVALA started with a broken semaphore. --->
Semaphore is Greek for "signbearer", and there are entire systems that flag bearers use on the maritime and railway routes of the world.
Also, a sempahore is "in computer science, a mechanism for supporting mutual exclusion in concurrent programs" (wikipedia)
Both kinds of semaphore are useful to my main character's journey. So, enter my song for Taner:
Snow Patrol : "Called Out in The Dark"
It's like we just can't help ourselves
'Cause we don't know how to back down
We were called out to the streets
We were called in to the towns
And how the heavens, they opened up
Like arms of dazzling gold
With our rain washed histories
Well they do not need to be told
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic
This drunken semaphore
And I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
I was called out in the dark
By a choir of beautiful cheats
And as the kids took back the parks
You and I were left with the streets
Show me now, show me the arms aloft
Every eye trained on a different star
This magic
This drunken semaphore
And I
We are listening
And we're not blind
This is your life
This is your time
In the video - I especially love that he's wearing a green t-shirt which screws with the green screen.
What's your song?
