I finally got around to listening to “We Could Fly” by Sam Sparro (the song Logan puts on to help Thomas refocus it WTIT). first thing I noticed was that the line is “stop trying to hold the world” not “stop trying to rule the world” second thing I noticed was how much the song resembles certain scenes from that video. I don’t wanna make a super long post, so just listen to the song, because it’s incredible.
