Dogwood Blossom - Fionn Regan
"Keep climbin' into my head without knockin', and you fix yourself there like a map pin. (...) What happens when you're in too deep to break? Loneliness keeps you constantly awake."
Who Are We Fooling? - Brooke Fraser ft. Aqualung
"We tried and tried to loosen the knots, thinking once we're untangled we'll be better off. (...) This beautiful tangle that's bruising us blue, it's a beautiful knot that we just can't undo."
Before I Ever Met You - Banks
"And I got you addicted to trying to be bulletproof, but you have too much to lose."
Shallows - Daughter
"If you leave, when I go, you'll find me in the shallows. (...) Come out, come out to the sea, my love, and just drown with me."
So This Is Goodbye - William Fitzsimmons
"And I'll miss you like you're dead, but I never got to grieve you, 'cause I saw you in the arms of someone else."

Happy Voicemail (EstePiper): "Pipes! You're not gonna believe this -- Enzo just said his first word! Here, listen.. *Enzo giggles and breathes into the receiver* Talk! C'mon kid, don't make me look bad in front of Piper! *Enzo squeals and yells into the speaker* 'Yes!' *Este laughs* That's right baby boy! Yes! God, Pipes.. I wish you were here. Well, I guess I'll let you go. Say bye Enzo! *Enzo squeals again* 'YES!' Ah.. close enough!
Loving Voicemail (Little Thunder): "Hm, you're not picking up, which means either 1. you're baking or 2... you're baking. Which also means I should head over there soon, huh? Anyway, I just called to hear your voice... *Cody laughs and tapers off into song* I just caaallleed to saaay I loove youuuu -- *Cody stops abruptly and pulls the receiver away from his face* HEY, I'll have you know Stevie Wonder is a fucking legend, Kai! Wha-- I DO NOT SOUND LIKE KERMIT THE FROG WHEN I SING! Get back here you little shit! *phone hangs up*"
Confessing Voicemail (Meanherty): "Please talk to me, Maevie. I know things have been weird lately with Fiona an' all but.. God, what was I supposed to do, Maeve? I-- I can't just sit around and wait for you to decide you want to be with me. *sighs* Y'wanna know the truth? I still love you. I love you so fuckin' much, and you fuckin' hurt me, ya did. Just -- please, you don't have'ta stay with me but please, let me come get you. Brian's no good for ya, Maevie. Y'deserve more. I know y'don't think it, but it's true. So, uh.. call me back, a'right?"
Drunken Voicemail (SantiStassi): "S--santi? I know you said you didn't w-want to see me ever a-again... but y-you didn't mean it, did you? *hiccups* I'm s-sorry I tried to kiss you, o-okay? I know you're w--with Alicia. *hiccups again* I k-know you don't love me but I.. I.. *trails off* I made a m-mistake. I o-owe some people money, and t-they found me at.. at the bar. I -- I don't know where I am but I wanna go h-home.. *hiccups* I justloveyousomuch, d'you know that? S-so much... *male voice yelling in the background, Stassi squeals as the phone clatters to the floor* I wasn't c-calling anyone! *a slap echoes through the room, Stassi lets out a cry of surprise before the phone abruptly hangs up*
Congratulatory Voicemail (Este + Santi): "HEY! Dude, what the fuck? You got FOX as a sponsor?! Shit, Santi, that's amazing! Does this mean I get free complimentary merchandise, or..? *laughs* Hey, Enzo, say congratulations to Uncle Santi! *Enzo makes unintelligible noises* Yeah.. what he said. Congratulations, kid! You fuckin' earned it."
Final Voicemail Ever Received (Delynn): "Hey, Lynnie.. I, um, I'll already be gone when you listen to this, but I don't want you to panic, okay? I know I promised I'd stay, but.. You know this was always how it was supposed to end, Lynn. I wish it didn't have to be this way but I.. *trails off, sighs* God, how do I even say any of this? I guess, um.. well, first off, I love you. I love you so much and I don't want you to ever question that. Don't doubt it for a second, and don't think there was a single thing you could have done differently to change my mind. This.. this is my end. It doesn't have to be yours. I want you to get your transplant. I want you to dance again.. go to Juliard. I want you to find love again. I want you to get married in that little gazebo in the park where we sit while I read to you on Saturday afternoons. I want you to take your first breath with your new lungs in the hospital garden where we sit after your treatments, and I want you to know I'll be there when you do. Right there with you, always. I want you to live, Lynn. Please.. try not to be too angry with me, okay? *voice cracks, Delia tries to hold back a sob* I- I don't know why I am the way I am, Lynnie.. and I'm sorry. T-tell Shelley I love her, okay? Tell her I'm s-so sorry. *takes a deep breath* You, um.. you gave me the best moments of my life, Lynn.. and I don't know how to thank you for that. Goodnight, love.
Breakup Voicemail (Alicia x Santi): "I really didn't want to do this over the phone.. on your voicemail, no less.. but you're out of town for a competition and this.. it couldn't wait. Look, Santi, I -- I love you. You know I do, but.. I can't do this anymore. I used to think we wanted the same things, but now I'm not so sure. I want to support this whole motocross thing, but I just.. this isn't a career, Santi. Not a stable one. You could get seriously hurt and lose it all in the blink of an eye and I-- I can't gamble like that. And Stassi.. I've accepted that you two have history.. I get it. But you haven't been yourself since she left.. since before then, even. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I-- well, I think I've had enough. I.. I think I'm done. I'm sorry.."
Apologetic Voicemail (Jude x Lennon): "C'mon, Len, pick up.. *sighs* We have to talk about the other night sometime, you know. I'm sorry, Lennon. I'm sorry I lied to the guys about us. I'm sorry for being a fucking coward. I want to be with you, you have to believe that.. But I-- God, I'm scared, okay? This is.. it's all so new to me, you know? Please, just.. forgive me. Please. I love you, Lennon.. and I want to prove it to you. Will you call me back? I, um.. I understand if you don't. ... I'm sorry, Len."
Sad Voicemail (Iron Crow): "Hey, it's Mal.. I know it's late and you're probably on call at the station but I -- *breathes in shakily* I had the nightmare again. Only this time it wasn't Ethan, i-it was you. I always get there too late, I always-- *trails off, chokes back a sob* P-Please, Koda, will you come? I need you. I- I need to know you're okay. I need to see for myself. .. I love you."
Voicemail Not Meant for You (Kelliot): "MALIA, where the fuck are you?! I sent you to the store two hours ago! For fuck's sake, by the time you get back, I won't even need the stupid pregnancy test, I'll already have given birth on your bathroom fucking floor. GET OVER HERE NOW, OKAY? Fuck!"
Holiday-Centric Voicemail (Jasie): "Merry Christmas, my love. Addie and I wish you were here with us -- we're counting the days 'til you're home. Addie, say hi to daddy. *phone changes hands, Addie giggles* DADDY, SANTA COME SOON! You come too, okay?! *Addie kisses the phone, Daisy laughs* Well, you heard her! Princess Addie must be obeyed. We love you!"
A Big News Voicemail (Gwen x Demitri): "Gwen! I just got off the phone with the realtor and she gave me some news.. Although, hmm.. maybe I should make you wait for it.. *laughs* Nah. The house is ours!! We got it, babe! God, I wish I could see your face right now. I demand a reenactment when I get home. I guess this means we'll have to pick out a theme for the nursery now, huh? I can't wait. And hey.. I love you, you know. I'll be home soon!"
A Vague Voicemail (Emmerikas): "Kas? I, um.. we need to talk about some things. I'm worried about you. I'll meet you at home, okay? Just.. don't go anywhere. .. I love you, Kas. See you in a bit."

SANTISTASSI, I know you sent me them but SHHH I want your answers too! ALSO, if it's not too hard since they're new, EstePiper!
Santistassi:
who controls the netflix account and what have they dominated the suggestions with by watching: Stassi doesn't watch much TV but when she discovers Santi has Netflix all bets are off. She has no patience to ever finish an episode or a movie so there's a ton of half watched stuff in their queue, mainly musicals and old classics.
who snores: I want to say Santi just because imagining Stassi waking up all grumpy and climbing on top of him and holding his nose shut to keep him quiet gives me so much life.
who has an embarrassing ringtone that the other calls them in public just to get to go off: They both probably do, because trolling each other is literally their favorite thing in the universe. She especially loves changing his ringtone and calling him later when she knows he's hooking up with someone.
who sleeps on the top bunk if given the chance: No matter what, Stassi would end up sneaking into bed with him in the middle of the night, so it doesn't really matter much to her.
who plays the piano at 6 in the morning to wake up the other: I have serious doubts that either of them would be up that early, unless it's a competition day for Santi. But they'd both do something like that just to annoy each other, as usual!
who has accidentally set something on fire by attempting to cook a birthday meal: I'm not too sure about Santi, but Stassi can't cook anything beyond warming up Spaghettios.. which means she's definitely set something on fire at least once in her rare attempts to cook. Looks like it's just birthday Spaghettios for you, Santi.
EstePiper:
who controls the netflix account and what have they dominated the suggestions with by watching: Este prefers listening to music over watching TV, so probably Piper. And I've got a feeling their suggestions would be filled with Animal Planet shows or documentaries on marine life, like Blackfish.
who snores: Este. Sometimes it got so loud that Santi had to leave their room and sleep on the couch. One of the perks of Este getting his own apartment.
who has an embarrassing ringtone that the other calls them in public just to get to go off: Piper would do it to Este. Definitely.
who sleeps on the top bunk if given the chance: Hmm.. maybe Piper? The top bunk freaks Este out. He's a baby.
who plays the piano at 6 in the morning to wake up the other: There's no way in Hell you'd ever catch Este awake that early -- he could probably spend most of the day napping if he didn't have to work (he certainly tries) SO probably Piper?
who has accidentally set something on fire by attempting to cook a birthday meal: Hmm, I think Este is fairly good at cooking, he learned a lot back home in Mexico. He definitely uses his skills to ~woo the ladies~ and so far it hasn't failed him, so again, maybe Piper!
