Sense and Sensuality

Co-opting jack's series to bring to you my recapitulations of these auditory portrayals of carnal desire. Any ideas appreciated, this is just a WIP.
1Skyharbor
Guiding Lights


Allure - cosmic passions. scintillating stars, comets’ tails swirling in the chest, a heart tugged by gravity.
2BADBADNOTGOOD
III


Confessions - suggested by Blushful

a late-night bar encounter, cool smiles and hot blood. coy smiles exchanged.
3Radiohead
In Rainbows


Nude - suggested by jack

languor, slow stretching after an awakening. morning sunlight, yet the other side of the pillow is cooler than you remember it.
4Bjork
Vespertine


Cocoon - suggested by jack

feather-light touches, a multitude of them. fearless exploration in the smallest spaces.
5Stateless
Matilda


I'm On Fire - a clink of wine glasses, flickering fires casting shadows that waltz around the room. twin voices, spiralling threads, ascending to a mutual climax.
6Wild Beasts
Two Dancers


We Still Got the Taste Dancing on Our Tongues - horseplay and a romp, lewdness with pomp. lips dripping with eagerness, tongues tasting excitement.
7Nujabes
Metaphorical Music


Lady Brown - selfless devotion to an earnest perception of beauty. patience rewards, the present awaits in the future.
8Jon Hopkins
Immunity


Collider - there is a rhythm in all blinks and breaths. the abstraction and extraction of a lover’s pulse into sound.
9Dirty Three
Cinder


She Passed Through - suggested by butcherboy

a gentle caress, skin pressed against skin and unbroken glances. through red sunset into black midnight
10Silversun Pickups
Swoon


Catch and Release - suggested by jack

fingernails digging in, a rough run through the hair - reckless abandon into the flesh.
11Tinashe
Nightride


Company - suggested by superluminals

mouth down-turned, but eyes glinting. an indignant look that simultaneously begs for more
12Portishead
Dummy


Biscuit - suggested by ArsMoriendi

the lights are dimmed. reach blindly, no second thoughts, don't let hushes remain hushes.
13Burial
Kindred


suggested by EphemeralEternity

tangled limbs, tangled tongues speaking tangled tongues that can never quite translate
14Jenny Hval
Viscera


Portrait of a Young Girl As an Artist - suggested by Dewinged

the path is more than enough. draw out the journey until there is no end.
15Kate Bush
Hounds of Love


Jig of Life - suggested by cylinder

love does not weaken. only the truest warrior bears it as a weapon.
16The Antlers
Undersea


suggested by AdolfChrist

the first second in the sheets is always cool. anticipation in chills, chill-inducing anticipation.
17Saor
Aura


Aura - suggested by dedes

returning to our roots, a single-minded purity beyond and below instinct.
18Volcano Choir
Unmap


Cool Knowledge - suggested by Blushful

a playful stroll around until we drop onto the carpet. doesn't take too long to fall.
