Waiting For Love by Lindsay Ellis

Two women linger on a bench, paralyzed by the idea that life cannot be enjoyed unless "love" arrives first. Despite their declared intention to seek it out, they remain stuck in endless waiting, afraid to either join the party or truly leave their bench. Waiting for Love is inspired by the Samuel Beckett classic Waiting for Godot and the Beatles 1964 B-side track "I don't want to spoil the party."
