"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us. If the book we are reading doesn't wake us up with a blow on the head, what are we reading it for? ...we need the books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea inside us." -Kafka

Letters From The Sky
I love this song- not only because I think it fits "Joe" but also because it's one of my favorite songs. The melody is sad, which goes along with the almost depressing theme of "Joe". However, towards the end the song picks up into a faster tempo. During this powerful ending, the main lyric of the song is "You're coming back for me". I connected this to Joe and his wife, and how despite their initial inability to communicate, Joe does come back to his wife.
