Leave it to the shuffle button...

A song I'd forgotten about, and yet the timing of its return to my consciousness was impeccable.

While you were sleeping
The babies grew, the stars shined and the shadows moved
Time flew, the phone rang
There was a silence when the kitchen sang
Its songs competed like kids for space
We stared for hours in our maker's face

Elvis Perkins - While You Were Sleeping

UPDATE: And another...

Something filled up
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry
But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

Arcade Fire - Wake Up
