Cursive, DomesticaSo I’ve been listening to a lot of Cursive’s Domestica lately.  It’s one of those records that just seems to go through frequent cycles of high-rotation.  This time around, however, I paid attention more to the themes of the record and noticed more than a couple of parallels, so I decided to figure out once and for all what the common threads were in these songs and share them with you. The following table illustrates my findings:

The Moon/Lunar Rape Phone-Throwing Holes/Digging Water/Swimming/Drowning “Pretty Baby”
1. The Casualty 2 2 2 1
3. Shallow Means, Deep Ends 1 3
6. The Lament of Pretty Baby 1 2
8. The Radiator Hums 2 3 3 3

As you can see “The Radiator Hums” exemplifies the most of all of these common threads.  I should do this for all of their albums (that is neither a threat, nor a promise).
