I saw a heated rivalry edit to a Canadian classic today and it filled me with a desire for more. So as a Canadian who grew up in the 2000s-2010s, here are some popular Canadian songs for your perusal.
I picked ones that I think fit the characters/their relationship the best
(It’s just very them, cottage vibes.)
Red Hands - Walk off the Earth
Rule the World - Walk off the Earth
(Them building a hockey empire and their relationship. Something about the glory of it is such a vibe to me)
Inner Ninja - Classified, David Myles
(This was so popular and I think Ilya would love it and Shane would be so annoyed, having heard it overplayed so much on the radio lol. I hope you see the vision)
Haven’t Had Enough - Marianas Trench
(This one is early in their situationship)
Kiss Goodnight - Tyler Shaw
(Pretty self explanatory, not wanting to part, the pining🥲)
Jet lag - Simple Plan, Natasha Bedingfield
(Struggling with the distance)
Something Big - Shawn Mendes
(The rhythm would be so cool for an edit. Something big happen, both their career momentum and their relationship)
(Vibessss, pain and pining)
Complicated - Avril Lavigne
I Really Like you - Carly Jepsen
(I tried to include Spotify links, but Tumblr would only let me include 10. But the final 4 songs should be easy to find) I included my interpretations of some of the songs but honestly any way that it speaks to you works!
I think the songs fit them really well and I love that they could’ve been hearing them on the radio at the time. Also I love promoting Canadian art!
I wish I could edit, otherwise I’d make some myself. But I hope you enjoy the songs! If you make any edits, pls comment the link or tag me💕🇨🇦
