If I could only pick one album as the soundtrack to The Fifth, it would be Deep by Peter Murphy (and not just because Peter Murphy was the original inspiration for Anastase -- more on that, later). Murphy is the former lead singer of Bauhaus, so it's not surprising that the album is dark and moody and mystical. But unlike a lot of music in the genre, Deep isn't sad or depressing . . . at least not entirely. :) One of my favorite songs on the album is this one, "Cuts You Up," which is really a very representative song for the whole album.
I listened to this album incessantly for several years, so much so that parts of it made its way into The Fifth, like these lyrics:
I find you in the morning
after dreams of distant signs.
You pour yourself over me
like the sun through the blinds.
Which some of you may recognize as very similar to the scene where Suzanne wakes up from the cantilever ceremony. ::whistles in the dark::
Also, is this the most Anastase Beryl video, ever. For real.
