WILMINGTON, TASK #04: CHARACTER PLAYLIST.
Too Good At Goodbyes - Sam Smith. ( Oh man, this is just... her song. It talks about how she’s learned to push people away and out of her life when they do something hurtful, even if it’s unintentional. It does get easier each time around. It’s how she copes, and it spreads far beyond her deeply-rooted trust issues when it comes to finding a partner. Even with people she considered friends or her family.. She listens to it, always by herself, whenever she feels upset and it makes her tear up. )
Backbone - Daughtry. ( This song always makes her smile and feel like a badass. It fills her up with hope while having a sick beat. So really, what’s there not to love? )
Believer - Imagine Dragons. ( This song is her j a m. Her energy skyrockets whenever she listens to it. She loves turning it up on full volume whenever she works out or even does chores around the house. Time passes by effortlessly. )
Human - Christina Perri. ( ok I know this is usually related to a romance but FINDING PLATONIC SONGS OUT THERE IS HARD OK. Anyhoe, I feel it’s a song that describes perfectly the difficulties she had to go through growing up in regards to her family and @spencerbayer. She was a kid that bottled everything up and, for the longest time, acted like she was picking up none of his accusations just because she wanted to be loved by her brother more than anything. But she breaks too, you know? And she’s held back what’s weighted her shoulders for far too long. )
Ring The Bells - Satellite. ( Picking just one song as her favorite ain’t a simple task. But I settled on this one because it’s so...nostalgic, sweet, sad and hopeful at the same time? And as a mun it fits with my deepest wish for her: To be able to take a leap of faith and fully embrace her life, the good and the bad. I want her to live her messy ass days and not regret a single moment. I’m hoping she’ll truly embrace it all one day, make amends with the people she needs, etc.. You get it. I believe it’s her deepest wish super deep down, too. So.. Here it is. )
Bang Bang - Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj. ( It doesn’t matter if she’s had ten shots to drink and she feels like dying inside. When this song plays, she stands up and dances with all of her might. Simple as that. )
Make it Rain - Ed Sheeran. ( Alright, this gem right here... It’s really precious because it describes her life to a T but at the same time it gets her goin’, makes her feel a little... frisky. )
All I Ask - Adele. ( So... *sighs* that’s a super sad and bittersweet tribute to her first love. They shared a really beautiful story that was cut short since she was struggling with her mental health. She pushed him away continuously, but when she felt ready to try to make things right, he had to leave Wilmington and she never made it. Ever since there’s been years, physical distance, different partners and wrong timing separating them. Although I feel that, when she listens to the particular song, she goes back to their last night together before she inevitably had to let him go. )
Send My Love - Adele. ( Shoutout to her ex who cheated on her with one of her bffs. She refused to hear any angsty song about her at this point, but she’s just....done with her mere existence tbh. Like, if she turns up in town, Amy will hit her with the “new phone, who dis” line. )
Someone Like You - Adele. ( While I don’t feel she’d go out of her way to hear a song about @calvinxmccoy, I can’t help but feel there’s a good bunch of lyrics in there that would make her mind drift to him if she stumbled upon this song, even for only a moment. He’s an old friend and a guy she had...something with, on an emotional front. They shared a couple moments that were powerful enough to make her forget about the weight of the world on her shoulders. She still has that in mind when she returns “out of the blue, uninvited” and she finds him being happy, accomplished and settled down for good with the love of his life. So yeah... You guys get why her mind would definitely drift there until everything sinks. )
Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson. ( Last but certainly not least... This one goes out to her dad. He cheated on her mom for years while she struggled with depression, left them, and ruined their family. Her whole childhood was wrecked because of him and I don’t know she’ll ever fully trust a partner because of what he brought into her life. )
