MUSIC MEME: YEAR 1 SENDOFF

Let's have one last music meme before our Y1 seniors are gone, gone forever. We love you and we will miss you, trash Adults.

»Gooseberry; Songs dedicated to the game, the environment, NPCs, houses, plots, whatever.
»Characters; For individual characters! Songs that remind you of them, songs that they'd listen to, whatever!
»Groups, Pairs, Ships, and FriendShips; You know you eat this up.

»Chatter; We really like to talk.

M&M made a really great template on the last post and so I'm stealing it for this post:

Come Little Children - Erutan (Cover) (x) obligatory

Come little children, I'll take thee away,
Into a land of enchantment.
Come little children, The time's come to play,
Here in my garden of shadows

(i'll prob be back with more for anon but here, take this.)

PLAYLIST HERE (12 songs; kt helped find some of these!)

sample songs:

love you much better - the hush sounds cecil → levi, sophomore/junior year

why do you sing to everybody but me?
why do i let it go on
you've got such a music box in my head all day long

something about us - daniela andrade (cover) levi → cecil, oe day 2 and the confusing week of dating-not-dating that followed

it might not be the right time
i might not be the right one
but there's something about us i want to say
cause there's something between us anyway

coming over - james hersey levi → cecil, figuring out boundaries in a new relationship

is it alright if i come round?
is it too late if i come now?
would you stay up to figure this out?
some way

youth - troye sivan levi → cecil, dumb kids fresh out of school running off to live in england together

my youth
my youth is yours
run away now and forevermore

PLAYLIST HERE (11 songs)

sample songs:

saturn - sleeping at last ennis and his late father

you taught me the courage of stars before you left.
how light carries on endlessly, even after death.
with shortness of breath, you explained the infinite.
how rare and beautiful it is to even exist

new soul - yael naim the struggle to adapt to a new and unfamiliar environment after his father's passing

i'm a new soul, i came to this strange world
hoping i could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take
but since i came here, felt the joy and the fear
finding myself making every possible mistake

frozen pines - lord huron i think a lot of ennis's draw to nature has to do with the connection he feels to his father when surrounded by it and it soothes a lot of the loneliness he feels. i also think that has a lot to do with why he's so fascinated by ghosts and the forest entities.

deep into the night with the moonlight as my guide
i will wander through the pines and make my way to nature's shrines
and i look up to the sky and i know you're still alive
but i wonder where you are, i call your name into the dark

alternate world - son lux staying asleep in anon's world would have been preferable

oh-oh we're magical
we'll wake the dead from sleep
oh-oh we'll shed our skin
we'll walk the other side

Edited 2017-08-07 09:56 (UTC)

PLAYLIST HERE (8 songs)

sample songs:

primadonna (acoustic) - marina and the diamonds

primadonna girl, yeah
all i ever wanted was the world
i can't help but i need it all
the primadonna life, the rise and fall

we sink - chvrches

i'll be a thorn in your side till you die
i'll be a thorn in your side for always
if we sink we lift our love

hush hush - brite futures

she is a dangerous outlaw
she's hot, but she's a liar
there's a trail of hearts broken
grapes on her vine are made of poison

PLAYLIST HERE (13 songs)

i'm very invested in these NPCs and their dynamic.

it's 6am and i'm not even done posting all the playlists i wanted to post BUT I NEED TO GO TO BED, GOODNIGHT

Shit I gotta format this list of music gdi 8I I'll post it eventually.

i have playlists for all my characters, but theyre not really Assembled, whoops. i have a couple of like..... ?keynote songs that i listened to on loop when i was developing the character concepts for each of my kids, tho, so i guess i can share those. anyway, here's my only good boy in a nutshell.

AS I AM - PAPER BIRD (x) i cute-and-paste the lyrics for choice quotes, but the whole thing is pretty great. i put this song on pretty much every time i play zach, tbh.

these arms of mine were made for lifting up
and when I set things down again
i hope they are better than they were

don't worry your mind is a river, humming silver, never repeating
there's a fire that eats up longing, destroying wrong
and it burns inside

EVERGREEN CASETTE - GOLDSPOT (x) literally, this is a song abt the immigrant experience and therefore ... not super relevant. but in a more abstract sense, it's abt gratitude and that part is v zach.

if i mistook the sun for a mango
i'd fly up there and reach for it too
it's the story of something older
and bigger than me and you

see, mother i believe
that half of everything i hear is true
between you and me
i believe the anecdotes too

WHITE SKY - VAMPIRE WEEKEND (x) this song has always felt sort of, idk, wide-eyed and imaginative and inquisitive to me. plus, vampire weekend is just the right kind of uptempo. anyway, i wrote zach's app to this song.

sit on the park wall
ask all the right questions
why are the horses racing taxis in the winter?
look up at the buildings, imagine who might live there
imagining your wolfords in a ball upon the sink there

Edited (gotta confess to my lyric butchering ) 2017-08-07 13:07 (UTC)

ohhhhh my god my dudes i have 29308924 songs for ulysses and they're all embarrassing for both of us. uhh, i shared a bunch of them on the last music meme, so here are three new ones, i guess? jeepers.

VACATION - FLORIST (x) this song is about growing up and and turning into an enormously neurotic person ergo it is now on ulysses y2 app lmfao

i don't know how to be
what I wanted to be when i was five
sometimes blue eyes, sometimes green
bike rides, snow hikes, and christmas lights
sometimes freezing, sometimes warm
i don't know if i can love that anymore

LOVES ME LIKE A ROCK - PAUL SIMON (x) i love paul simon, fuckin sue me. once i made jj listen to this and she asked me if was from the o brother where art thou soundtrack, which is extremely rude. anyway, this is a garbage song for my garbage mama's boy. i really associate it w/ ulysses, which is a big drag on him.

when i was a little boy and the devil would call my name
i'd say "now who do ... who do you think you're fooling?"
i'm a consecrated boy, singer in a sunday choir
my mama loves, she loves me
she gets down on her knees and hugs me
she loves me like a rock

BAD NEWS - OWEN (x) i'm never sure if this song is ulysses-to-himself when he's being a giiiiiiant weenie or me-to-ulysses all the time, but either way, it's very mean and i love it. sorry, kiddo.

whatever it is you think you are,
you aren't a good friend, unique, well-read, good-looking or smart.
well, now you know.

it's what you do
not who you were
or what you wear
or where you've been
so do something

Sometimes I wonder how you managed to form a neural bridge with me when you've never met me before?? #quayles

Little Pistol - Mother Mother (x) Anger issues.

Under the skin, against the skull
They put a little chip so that they know it all
I think I might be scared
Of the world and the way it makes you feel afraid
And how it gets in the way

And now I want brimstone in my garden
I want roses set on fire
And I, well I want what’s best for me
And I, I think I know just what that means
Just what that means

House By The Sea - Moddi (x) Angst about leaving.

They say home is a place where you're needed
Then I am home now, but I am leaving
To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
And I will be silent and kiss it back
This is not who I want you to see
It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me
And from the little I have understood
I believe that a house by the sea would do good

Sparks - Coldplay (x) Any time Calvin has feelings for someone.

My heart is yours
It's you that I hold on to
That's what I do
And I know I was wrong
But I won't let you down
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah I will, yes I will

Beggin for Thread - BANKS (x) Calvin is unpleasant.

So I got edges that scratch
And sometimes I don't got a filter
But I'm so tired of eating
All of my misspoken words
I know my disposition gets confusing
My disproportionate reactions fuse with my eager state
That's why you wanna come out and play with me, yeah

Best Friend - Foster the People (x)

I've been a river bed, I tried to salt my wound
I carried more than I can
I feel I got a lot to prove
Sometimes its feel like I only dream in black and white
But color's so oh

Little Wanderer - Death Cab For Cutie (x) Diego→Ravi post-grad when Ravi moves away.

Always fall asleep when you're waking
I count the hours on my hands
Doing the math to the time zone you're at
Is an unseen part of the plan
But if you'll be my bluebird returning
Then I'll be your evergreen
Standing tall on your horizon
Guiding you home to me
Guiding you home to me

The Fool (Acoustic) - Ryn Weaver (x) Diego→Ravi

And now I see technicolor
A movie script lover
You chase me while I play the clown, oh
But then you know, oh

I tend to stack the deck with wild cards
You're betting all you got on a broken heart
I say don't, oh
But now you know, oh

So I curse my stars for a fair game
While you nurse my scars and the old flame
I'm a fool for you

I HAVE MORE BUT I HAVE TO GO TO WORK.

My Brother Taught Me How To Swim - Passion Pit (x) Calvin idolises Dimi so here have some mush.

My brother taught me how to give
He spreads his love until it stretches too thin
Oh how I wanna be like him
He takes away the weight before your heart caves in

we have a Powerful Bond aleena

IM SUPPOSED TO BE FOCUSING ON THINGS but i keep thinking about this music meme instead im v distracted today

i apologise in advance for being half-here all the time instead of either a) going away or b) just posting everything at one

I'm frightened and proud, which is a strange combo of feelings

...

But, seriously, plz send me all your playlists

i'm very not good at these but i have 1 or 2 songs i haven't posted that i'll stick up! (typed "throw up" at first, oh god.) BUT I LOVE READING EVERYBODY ELSE'S so ty ali! 💜

I am also bad at these
So bad
But I have this thread stalked anyway because I love your babies and their beautiful songs

Well I can at least post this here 8)

Die Young - SYLVAN ESSO (x) this is a depressing love song but pretend its not like a romantic love song ok? Cool thx preciate it. Anyway Calvin and Dimi are a little codependent but in a way that I love and gosh I'm going to miss them.

I was a firecracker, baby, with something to prove
Now I gotta contend with the living blues
I could've missed it, I never knew
Chain reaction but you're holding the fuse

thats the best i can hope for lbr

........ will i get some playlists back tho bc im making myself very vulnerable here u kno

Same same! I am so non-musical but I cry every time one of these memes pop up because I'm like ... mesmerized
