Five Songs Tag
I was really feeling a tag game that mixed music and writing!! So I’m making one, here we go gentlefolks:
Open your preferred music-listening thing (for me, it’s Apple music), shuffle your music library five times, and list the five songs you get along with a character, couple or group of characters from your wip that it fits best! If you like, go the extra mile and describe how/in what ways.
1. King and Lionheart by Of Men and Mice
“And in the sea that's painted black, Creatures lurk below the deck But you're a king and I'm a lion-heart.“
Daphne heckin’ Donovan because boy is she ever a lionheart.
2. Turning Out by AJR
“Am I ready for love? Or maybe just a best friend Should there be a difference Do you have instructions?”
Hayden bc he has a very idealistic idea of love/relationships and very little experience so I could see him questioning himself the second something doesn’t go as smoothly as he assumed it would.
3. Florida Kilos by Lana Del Rey
“Guns in the summertime, Drink a cherry cola lime. Prison isn't nothin' to me, If you'll be by my side.”
Conrad and Rosemary Fitzgerald by a long shot, ohh boyy. The Cocaine Couple over here. Not dealing it or makin’ it as the song implies tho.
4. Madness by Lucius
“I had a dream where You were standing there With a gun up to my head You were asking how it felt, to which I said ‘I can not lie, there is a tingling down my spine’"
Certainly Clay, with that danger-excitement feel and the mention of running from things.
5. Some Journey by Suzanne Vega
“Because if I had met you on some journey Where would we be now? “
I struggled with this one at first but now it is clear to me that this song fits Alistair and Emily best, especially since the whole reason Alistair ended up in California was because they moved there in an attempt to “fix” their marriage and Emily had always wanted to live in California. Would Emily have ever left New York if circumstances were different? Would they still be together if Emily had met Alistair after he served in the army and not before? Would they have gotten together at all?
