Duet
Music by Thom Yorke
Zada Cheeks & Brian Hare
Story: During the first year of a relationship everything is flirty and light, and even kind of sassy at times. It’s before that first big argument, where you still think that the other person can do no wrong. You are still in that exploratory stage; continually learning things about each other.
Kiss Me Kill Me
Music by Red Snapper
Chris Courtney & Laura Tomlinson
Story: You’ve gone past the point of arguing, the relationship is volatile and passionate both at the same time. You argue and then you ‘make-up’ really hard. To everyone around it is a most uncomfortable atmosphere because they don’t know if it is serious argument or playful dialogue.
Sideways
Music by Massive Attack
Chris McCray & Laura Tomlinson
Story: All the emotion has left and complacency has set in, one person is already out of the relationship and the other is still trying to hold on, blind to the fact that the relationship is over.
Lazy Bones
Music by Massive Attack
Chris McCray
Story: Realizing that the relationship has ended, depression sets in; a feeling of not wanting to do anything, just lying on the couch and not going out.
Midnight Samba
Music by Grooverider
Zada Cheeks, Addam Cross, Chris Courtney, Jamie Farrell, Brian Hare, Colleen MacDonald, John Pawelk, Erin Polanshek, Lyndsey Rhoads, Amanda Telischak, Mary Tisa & Laura Tomlinson
Story: You have stepped out of the sleazy phase; you are kind of okay and kind of getting back in the dating scene; kind of having fun and kind of flirty; you’re ok being around other people and finally getting comfortable with yourself, acknowledging that others are attracted to you.
Low And Lovely
Music by Amon Tobin and AMG
Addam Cross, Brian Hare, Lyndsey Rhoads, Amanda Telischak & Mary Tisa
Story: Now that you have gotten through the depressed phase, it’s time for the physical connection without the emotional ties and because you’re still hurting from before.
Mono
Music by Yo Yo Ma
Chris Courtney & Chris McCray
Story: A time of self reflection, a time where you regret opening yourself up too early, a time when you beat yourself up over all the wrongs that you have done in all your relationships, not just the recent one.
