Music

• We start and end with Daniel Berenboim playing Lizt's 6 Consolations, S. 172: No. 3 in D flat minor.
• We hit up Yes But, from Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriens' score to Christine.
• We return to the official Memory Palace love theme of William Henry Harrison, The Gentle Softness, Lalo Schiffrin's score to The Last Dragon
• We cruise on the U.S.S. Princeton to Dispute by Yann Tiersen.
• Twist comes to Missing Pieces from the Broken City score.

Notes

• I read quite a bit about the Tylers, but really, one needs only to read "and Tyler Too," by Robert Seager II.
