Weekly playlist: Scenes from a Night That Got Complicated

Starts with dancing, ends with philosophy. The middle is messy.

It begins with movement — hips, hands, half-finished drinks. Then something shifts. A mood turns. A room tilts. The bass doesn’t stop, but your brain does a funny thing: it starts thinking. Regret leaks in. And before long, you’re awake, in every sense.

Scroll down to play the full set — the night’s story told in sound.

• Night Moves by Bob Seger
  Because memory has a soundtrack, and sometimes it's this warm, haunted one.

• Blame It on the Boogie by The Jacksons
  Disco denial at its finest — joy as an alibi.

• Banquet by Bloc Party
  When energy spills into aggression, and hunger turns metaphorical.

• Do Your Worst by Rival Sons

  Bravado at 11, just before the mirror cracks.

• Damaged Goods by IDLES & Gang of Four
  Love, rage, and return policies.

• Police on My Back by The Clash
  Because there’s always a chase scene. Sometimes it’s internal.

• Insomnia by Faithless
  No explanation needed. Just volume, pulse, and 3:00 AM clarity.

• Can’t Calm Down by Hand Habits
  That stubborn kind of panic you can’t dance your way out of.

• Breathe by Télépopmusik & Angela McCluskey
  A voice in the noise, whispering the obvious: inhale, exhale, repeat.

• Wake Up and Smell the Coffee by The Cranberries
  When the buzz fades and reality makes you breakfast.
