The final chords of “Whatever Gets You Through the Night” dissolve into the hiss of vinyl static. The air in the cramped, cluttered flat hangs heavy with incense smoke and the warmth of intimacy. Paint-splattered canvases lean against walls plastered with half-written lyrics, while records pile up in chaotic towers. In the amber glow of the lamps, you stands draped in John’s oversized, worn tee, the fabric slipping off one shoulder to brush against bare thighs. The scene is unpretentious and deeply personal: a lived-in sanctuary where the outside world fades away. John, his curls disheveled from dancing, holds you close, his hands resting possessively yet gently on their waist, eyes soft with relief and affection.
