Istambul, 2.45 da manhã. O ininteligível vozear da turba multicolorida do Grande Bazaar, na sua azáfama mercantil, e o insistente zumbido provocado pela amálgama de apitos e motores dos veículos a cruzarem a ponte Galata, deram lugar à quietude. Da janela do quarto avista-se o porto e as milhentas luzes dos navios ancorados; a cidade mergulha em socalcos até ao Bósforo, com os minaretes das mesquitas a riscarem o céu. Está um calor infernal, abafado. Uma ligeira aragem transporta uma longínqua canção árabe, que entra pelo quarto na sua hipnótica languidez... De repente, um grito!
Istambul, 2.45 da manhã. O mar está a dormir, um braço dependurado para fora do leito. Era o que ele, Mustafá, devia estar a fazer. Mas o maldito calor e a excitação em que se encontra impedem-no de adormecer. Até ao momento, tudo correra bem - já tinham a loira que o Emir Alif Keita encomendara e, a julgar pela amostra, ele ia ficar satisfeito. No entanto, não conseguia deixar de se preocupar com o dia seguinte, com a longa jornada de Istambul até ao Emirato - mais uma vez, pôs-se a rever mentalmente o percurso, sobretudo as partes mais complicadas como a passagem para o Irão ou a tomada do barco em Linga. Mas, com a ajuda de Alá, havia de correr tudo bem. Reconfortado por este pensamento, Mustafá começa a ceder ao cansaço, os olhos a fecharem, a cabeça a pender... De repente, um grito!
Istambul, 2.45 da manhã. Não entendia como pudera acompanhar tão facilmente os dois turcos que conhecera no jardim da universidade. É verdade que se sentia particularmente excitada, depois de uma manhã de compras com todas aquelas mãos que aproveitavam para a afagar enquanto a ajudavam a provar uma peça de roupa ou um artefacto de joalheria, mas isso não explicava a leviandade com que os seguira. Tinha sido bom, é certo, mas devia ter-se precavido, avisado alguém - qualquer coisa menos ter ido como fora. Agora, aprisionada, sem saber o que querem dela ou o que lhe poderá acontecer, não há ninguém para dar pela sua falta.
Mesmo que do hotel participem o seu desaparecimento, não deixou qualquer pista que permita encontrá-la. Está entregue a si própria. E o raio das cordas que estão tão bem apertadas... De repente, um grito! O seu grito.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
