11. Francis and the Lights — SEE HER OUT (THATS JUST LIFE)
Francis and the Lights is Francis Farewell Starlite, an American musician and producer. His debut album Farewell, Starlite! (2016) drew significant attention from collaborators including Bon Iver and Chance the Rapper, both of whom appeared on the record. "See Her Out" opens that album and remains one of its most distinctive moments — sparse, warm, and emotionally direct.
Placement: Closes the global sounds segment and bridges back toward indie. After two back-to-back tracks with no Western frame of reference, Francis and the Lights restores something familiar. It also works thematically — "That's Just Life" as a title carries a quiet acceptance that sits well as a transition toward the gravity of the history segment.
