"There was the boom of a bass drum, and the voice of the orchestra leader rang out suddenly above the echolalia of the garden." - The Great Gatsby

Runaway
Runaway - Jhene Aiko | The Weeknd | Frank Ocean
"The bass reverberated through my bones as the songstress’ sensual warble rose above the electronic echolalia, ensnaring the room in tendrils of melodic smoke. Neither of us spoke as the lyrics of the popular love song diffused through the room, regaling honeyed expressions of affection and bedroom magic. This was a song that would become immortal—not for artistic merit, but for the young lovers in the room whose lives were now forever intertwined to this acoustic reminder of bittersweet first love and high school prom."
An excerpt.
