‧₊˚♪ 𝄞₊˚⊹ 📀 ~ soundtracks for moments in the naturals if they ever got a tv show
𝙎𝙀𝘼𝙎𝙊𝙉 𝙊𝙉𝙀 (𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙨)
⭑.ᐟ i think that most people would probably expect a show like this to be very dark and gritty but i think my version would be more fun, focusing on characters and their teenage experiences with the mystery serving to drive the plot forward
cassie's wired earphones are playing purple rain by prince as wipes down the counter of the diner she works at. when michael walks in the music abruptly fades to instrumental background as she takes out the earphones. once he leaves, cassie reads the business card he left behind and the lyrics "i only want to see you laughing in the purple rain, purple rain, purple rain" end the scene.
episode 2 જ⁀➴ there is more than meets the eye
b2b by charli xcx plays in the background of the entire scene. the editing is choppy and on beat with the music, and there is almost like a record scratch stop when cassie tells the group about her mom. eventually lia picks up her phone and the music starts again. there are some diabolical cuts between michael and lia when she dares cassie and dean to kiss, with the outro playing right at the kiss before the cut to black.
episode 3 જ⁀➴ agents of free will
when sloane decides to hack into the fbi databases lucky by renee rapp plays as a montage of the naturals piecing together each part of the puzzle and making sense of the case files. this is the point where they kinda hit flow state and begin working as a team. files and pictures are piled on top of each other and there are zoom in shots into small details. important words are underlined or highlighted and this is the scene where we get a peek into how the naturals' brains work.
episode 4 જ⁀➴ killer on the loose
the episode opens with cassie opening the box sent by the killer. when cassie opens it, she sees the the lock of red hair and takes a sharp breath in. she looks up at the others and psycho killer by talking heads beings to play, specifically the "fa, fa, fa, far better, run, run, run, better run away" part before the cut to opening credits.
episode 5 જ⁀➴ kola and thorn
we get disjointed cuts between genevieve and cassie as she tries to recreate what happened to her. theres a very chopped up and reverbed version of kiss me thru the phone by soulja boy playing throughout the scene and the harmonies kick in when dean's hands land on cassie's waist and cut off when he hastily removes them.
episode 6 જ⁀➴ life or death
when cassie realises that theres a mole in the fbi, prey by the neighbourhood begins to play "something is off i feel like prey, i feel like praying" and she rushes to the bathroom to call locke. the camera locks onto cassie and the rest of the world appears to sway and swirl as she panics. there is a reprise of the outro "i dont wanna fight, i dont want a fight" right after she blows off michael to go with dean.
michael tells cassie to figure out how she feels about dean, and that he'll be there waiting, and we get a wide shot of him outside as heartbreak girl by 5 seconds of summer plays. we cut to cassie entering the house and dean smiling up at her as she sits down and starts talking to him. we get to cut to sloane and lia sprawled across lias bedroom, each doing their own thing as the song blasts from a boombox. judd calls all the kids for lunch and the season ends with a shot of all of them around the dinner table laughing.
this was sooo much fun omg if people like this i am definitely making more parts and adding all the little details i love
