titusnowlThis is sort of a double-meaning thingy. It's kind of like the aftermath of Norman's sacrifice, as seen through its effect on Simon and Roger, and then Simon is a cad and leaves and that's the rest of it.

Songs set in the immediate aftermath of Norman's death
Bad Astronaut - Our Greatest Year
Even though I run away from you, I'm sorry
I wish I had chosen to be true, I'm sorry
(The "greatest year" is the one in which they save England twice (Last Hero and Avenging/Knight Templar). And although the "I" here is Simon, the "you" sort of wavers between being Roger and being Norman.)
The Shins - The Past And Pending
Blind to the last cursed affair, pistols and countless lies
Bright Eyes - Easy/Lucky/Free
I never really dreamed of heaven much until we put him in the ground
Songs from Simon's POV
The Bravery - Unconditional
I've spent my whole life surrounded and I've spent my whole life alone
I wonder why I never wonder why the easiest things are so hard
I just want love, I just want something for nothing
The Rasmus - Sail Away
Once upon a time we had a lot to fight for
We had a dream, we had a plan
... You will stay, I'll sail away
The Shins - Gone For Good (A Call To Apathy)
I spent twelve long months on the lam...
You love a sinking stone that'll never elope
So get used to the lonesome
Songs from Roger's POV
Guided By Voices - Teenage FBI
Someone tell me why I do
The things that I don't wanna do
When you're around me
Hawksley Workman - Jealous Of Your Cigarette
I'm jealous of your cigarette
And all the things you do with it
I'm jealous of your cigarette
And the pleasure that you get from it
And not me
Guided By Voices - Motor Away
When you motor away beyond the once-red lips
When you free yourself from the chance of a lifetime
The Bravery - Give In
Nothing happens and everything is changed
All I want is everything to stay the same
Bloc Party - Blue Light
I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes
The Bravery - The Ring Song
What if all I want in this world
Turned out just to be an honest girl
Turned out just to make of me an honest man
Guided By Voices - Twilight Campfighter
As we vegetate and wait around for brighter days
And can dance contented to the sound of money
Coldplay - One I Love
Could you, could you come home? Come home forever?
The Faders - Whatever It Takes
Everybody says I should be moving on
Everybody knows I'm still waiting
The Shins - Pink Bullets
I was just bony hands as cold as a winter pole
You held a warm stone out, new flowing blood to hold
Oh what a contrast you were
(It's a very impressionistic song; I had a hard time picking a line to quote and would have an even harder time explaining why it's on here.)
