Love Yourself: The Playlists
I've been putting off sharing these for a long time, because I wanted them to be Complete™ when I shared. But I'm realizing, much like the fic, these are constantly evolving bodies of work and I don't know when I'll feel like they are Complete™, so I decided I'd share in the meantime. Don't be surprised if you see changes happen over time! If you have a suggestion for the crowd sourced playlist, by all means, send in an ask or comment!
LY: The Album: A playlist I've had for the entire life of writing this fic. It's grown and changed some over the years, and I reserve the right for it to grow and change up until ly!dan releases his album. But here's the official list of what I consider to be part of Love Yourself: The Album
LY: The Expanded Verse: Songs that (probably) don't fit on LY: The Album but I think ly!dan might have written at some point in the past, or might write someday in the future (some we might even see him write on page 👀). They are, incredibly roughly, in a vague chronological order for Dan's career.
LY: The Vibes: A playlist of songs that include everything from the album + the expanded verse, as as well as other songs that remind me of ly. Some are too far off music-style, some are songs I listened to while writing a chapter, some I just haven't mentally worked into the canon but might someday.
LY: Crowdsourced: I asked readers to recommend songs and boy did you deliver! I compiled them all so I could comb through them (which I haven't listened to all of them well enough to develop a personal verdict on them yet, so there's still a chance songs from this playlist could work their way onto other lists, too). If you suggested a song and it's NOT on this list that means I missed it for one of multiple reasons & please send it to me again.
