Okay, I know Nora stated on her Tumblr that she took inspiration on the song “Runaway Train” by Soul Asylum for the ringtone Andrew puts on his and Neil’s phone on “The Raven King”. But, look me in the eye and tell me I wasn’t the only one who imagined either “Run Boy Run” by Woodkid or “Bury Me Face Down” By Grandson as the actual ringtone.
Like, Neil literally describes “Neil expected a generic ringtone, but a man
started singing. It didn’t sound like something Andrew would assign to his
phone until Neil listened to the lyrics. It was a song about runaways” (The Raven King, Chapter 5)
In the case of “Run Boy Run” I could actually imagine Andrew, completely poker face, setting this fragment of the song:
“Run, boy, run
This world is not made for you
Run, boy, run
They’re trying to catch you
Run, boy, run
Running is a victory
Run, boy, run
Beauty lies behind the hills“
Or in the case of “Bury Me Face Down” he would ABSOLUTELY find hilarious to put:
“ I’ve been on the run
Since I was a boy
But now I’m done runnin’, got another thing comin’
Watch my enemies get destroyed
Oh, I’ve got troubles of more than one kind
But I never sleep, gotta bury me six feet deep
Where the sun don’t shine”
And we know Andrew uses some different words from the same song, and they could totally be in the case of “Run Boy Run”
“Tomorrow is another day
And you won’t have to hide away
You’ll be a man, boy !
But for now it’s time to run
it’s time to run“
Or with “Bury Me Face Down”
“ I’ve been counted out, left for dead
Wanted with a bounty on my head
But somehow, someway, I’m-a keep movin’ along, movin’ along
Been counted out, left for dead
Wanted with a bounty on my head
But somehow, someway, I'ma keep movin’ along, along “
Just, please tell me I’m not the only want who pictures these two songs in the background every time that scene comes up.
