Leather and Lace

It was kind of interesting today, having a favorite song pop up on Pandora and then realizing that wow, that is so Randolph and Persephone.

I’m not sure if I was thinking back on the lyrics or not, but there’s a part where she flat out asks him, “How fragile do you think I am?”

And the opening verse of the song has this lyric:

You’re saying I’m fragile
I try not to be

But Persephone is also this:

I have my own life
And I am stronger
Than you know

Randolph has a moment when he first sees the Reynolds home, and it’s very much like the verse sung by Don Henley.

You were right
When I walked into your house
I knew I’d never want to leave

Since Randolph comes to the case with lots of baggage from his past, this part fits him very well:

Sometimes I’m a strong man
Sometimes cold and scared
And sometimes I cry

And since it’s a story about them investigating a series of crimes, of course this fits them both:

I search only
For something
I can’t see

Of course, one of my favorite parts of the song is this bit:

Is love so fragile and the heart so hollow, shatter with words impossible to follow?


Kabobbles Sing Along is just what I think when I hear songs. I sometimes see images when I hear lyrics, pictures or movies in my head. Sometimes I relate it to stories. My interpretation of the songs and lyrics are probably nothing like their original intent.
