Polin Storytelling through Music
Whoever has remained at least.. The power of my newest shipping brainrot has pulled me back here by the hair after 6 years of not using this blog, so I hope someone likes this random return and content. :]
To get to the point, this is for any Polinators out there! I made a playlist following Polin's love story from Season 1 of Bridgerton to the HEA of their own season (though I jump to s3 fitted songs very quickly lol).
Every 4 songs the playlist changes from Pen's POV to Colin's, with the exception of the last 4 songs being from both their POV. Hope you enjoy listening:
Additionally, because I'm really proud of the show accurate Polin "storytelling" I created through the songs I chose and their lyrics, here are the specific screenshots from Bridgerton I had in mind while listening to my playlist, starting with 1. From the Start by Laufey:
2. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift:
3. more than friends by Isabel LaRosa:
4. Happier Than Ever cover by Kelly Clarkson:
Switching to Colin's pov starting with 5. Sweater Weather by The
Neighbourhood:
6. I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys:
7. Take Me by the Hand by Flamingos in the Tree:
A return to Pen's pov with THE polin anthem at 9. Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter:
10. touch tank by quinnie:
p.s.: in my brain the lyric "cancelled a hot hipster threesome for you" equals the rejecting a vegetarian lord's proposal for you part of their story xD
11. Paper Rings by Taylor Swift:
12. pov by Ariana Grande and, yes, of course I have added as many of the official instrumental pop songs they gifted to us in our season as I could:
Back to Colin's pov and my man is really feeling unworthy, but also he's feeling the vibes being off before the big reveal, so 13. Why Do You Feel So Down by Declan McKenna:
14. i hate u, i love u by gnash feat. Olivia O'Brien:
p.s.: I adore all my angsty picks in this playlist, but specifically this one because of that one awesome fanvid using it and having the lyric "you want her, you need her and I'll never be her" be about whistledown and colin's jealousy of her, aah gotta love the internal nuances of my babygorl colin :')
15. Only You by Cheat Codes, Little Mix:
And finally completing their musical story with the last 4 joint (slay) Colin and Penelope pov songs!
These two can't stay angsty for too long, they are too in love with each other and too adorable for that, so 17. Can I Have This Dance by Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron:
18. True Colors by Cyndi Lauper:
19. Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez, Em Beihold:
And of course closing this thread with their very own original song, because Penelope & Colin really are THAT couple in Bridgerton.
20. All I Want by Tori Kelly:
Hope you enjoyed this little trip down to Polin memory lane exactly 1 year after Season 3 Part 1 first aired and the carriage scene became my Roman Empire stuck in my brain forever!
Colin is my sensitive chaotic demisexual pookie and Penelope my complex bamf sweetheart and I love that they sparked some of this old type of creativity back in me after adulthood keeps making me its bitch, so there..
Have a nice day everyone :)
