“Maybe I was destined for philosophy
Leading leftist ideologies at the Paris-Sorbonne
Dreaming up the splendid demise
Of the societies we despise, at Cafe de Flore”
- Love In The Time Of Socialism (Yellow House)
Grantaire is kind of an asshole who doesn’t know how to not be kind of an asshole, no matter how hard he tries.

Since you guys seemed to have liked my playlist for Enjolras, here’s the counterpart for Grantaire.
Listen on Spotify.
Painting (Masterpiece) – Lewis Del Mar
Throw like Pollock. Fuck the apartment. Oh, paint it like you always dreamed it'd be.
Cool People – Alfie Indra
Cool people they aren't like me, they aren't like me. Most people they just can't see.
Soda – Nothing But Thieves
I once had a thought but don't know where it went. 'Cause I've been living off soda and cheap cigarettes. Maybe when I was a kid I was dropped on my head.
Why am I like this? – Orla Gartland
I'll be there in the corner, thinking right over every single word of the conversation we just had.
Bloodstream – The Chainsmokers
I've been drunk three times this week. Spent all my money on a fleeting moment.
Nightmares – Easy Life
It's all a bit of fun until somebody gets hurt. I'll take it with a pinch of salt, another lesson learned.
Tainted Love – Soft Cell
Don't touch me please. I cannot stand the way you tease. I love you though you hurt me so.
comethru – Jeremy Zucker
I'm trying to realize it's alright to not be fine on your own.
when the party’s over – Billie Eilish
Don't you know I'm no good for you? I've learned to lose you, can't afford to.
Sunflower – Rex Orange County
'Cause I don't wanna feel like I'm not me and to be honest, I don't even know why I let myself get down in the first place.
arrow – Half Alive
Tryna be somebody but all I got was someone else.
Wave(s) – Lewis Del Mar
I know I fuck up, but as long as I show up, it'll always taste good.
Paint – The Paper Kites
It's all in my mind, all in my mind. I paint the ceiling so that nobody knows. I cover it slow, cover it slow.
Joan of Arc – Arcade Fire
But I'm the one with a heavy heart 'cause I'll follow you, my Joan of Arc.
Ivy – Frank Ocean
I thought that I was dreaming when you said you love me. The start of nothing. I had no chance to prepare. I couldn't see you coming.
Work Song – Hozier
Boys when my baby found me I was three days on a drunken sin.
Icarus – Bastille
Look who's digging their own grave. That is what they all say. You'll drink yourself to death.
Creep in a T-Shirt – Portugal. The Man
Sorry but I don't recall the crime. My memory has left me behind. May have been a man, maybe a friend or maybe aliens.
Mustang Kids – Zella Day ft. Baby E
I might seem wild but momma raised a gentleman. In another life, no telling who I would have been.
4AM – Bastille
I got all my old friends and new friends I've met once before in a blanket of smoke as we sink through the floor.
Cynic – Noah Kahan
I miss the days when one was better than the last. I miss the taste of growing pains I knew would pass. Oh, I miss those thoughts and that fear of losing.
Scrawny – Wallows
I say the wrong shit at the right times. If I'm offending them I don't mind. Maybe they all should listen to me.
Swoon – Beach Weather
And when I think I'm out of the dark you're pulling me away from the light. Take me where you want me tonight and let me swoon over you.
Awake At Night – Half Alive
I'm sick of being so unsatisfied. Tell me that the answer's right. God, are you awake at night?
Sympathy for the Devil – The Rolling Stones
So, if you meet me have some courtesy. Have some sympathy, and some taste.
Whiskey in Hell – Anarbor
I hope they serve whiskey in hell ‘cause I'm already on my way.
Coming Down – Dum Dum Girls
By tomorrow I'll be leaving. By tomorrow I'll gone. If you want to tell me something you had better make it strong.
Imagine Grantaire leaving his iPod behind at a meeting and Enjolras takes it so he can it to give it back and then curiosity gets the best of him so he looks at his playlists and sees one called "Apollo". This is what is on it.

“I'd like a drink. I desire to forget life. Life is a hideous invention by somebody I don't know. It doesn't last, and it's good for nothing. You break your neck simply living.”
