Playlist
[SPOILER]Song 1. Ruelle - Up in Flames
"City made of thin glass
Smoldering in pitch black
Sin so thick you can't see the stars
Can't tell good and evil apart"
Song 2. The Lumineers - Scotland
"May your dreams come to reality
If all else fails[/SPOILER][SPOILER]
Give up, we need the company
Let's drink to your health"
Song 3. Broods - Mother & Father
"The nights are getting shorter
I don't know where to go
I am getting older
And it's starting to show
And ever since I left my mother
It's much harder to know
How to make my own life here
How to make my own home"
Song 4. Vance Joy - Mess is Mine
"Hold on, darling
This body is yours,
This body is yours and mine
Well hold on, my darling
This mess was yours,
Now your mess is mine"
Song 5. Kelly Sweet - Je T'aime
"Sweet dreams, sweet dreams mon cher
You're always in my prayer"
[SPOILER]For the first song, I was originally going to put 'Live like Legends' (also by Ruelle), but decided against it as, honestly to me, 'Up in Flames' sounds like a much more powerful song; it conveys (or should convey, at least to me) that Juliette is a rather faithful person surrounded by those that aren't and while they might be getting away with what they're doing now- in the end, her beliefs will win. For the second, I personally just really like the instruments as well as the fact that while the lyrics are few it shows that who ever is being sung about is wanted, whether they succeed or don't- which is how Juliette would wish to be seen. For the third song, 'Mother & Father', it speaks of a woman that is trying to survive on her own but realizes she can't, which is often how Juliette feels as she left her parents at a young age and never truly returned to them- making her feel rather lost at points. As for the last two songs, 'Je T'aime' and 'Mess is Mine', they both speak of how she thinks of love- though 'Mess is Mine' is more so directed towards her love for her husband while 'Je T'aime' is more like something she'd sing or express towards her daughter.[/SPOILER][/SPOILER]
[SPOILER]Song 1. Marina and the Diamonds - Are you Satisfied?[/SPOILER][SPOILER]
"'Cause it's my problem
If I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to
Smoke and drink and swear
It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide"
Song 2. Lorde - Glory and Gore
"But in all chaos, there is calculation
Dropping glasses just to hear them break
You've been drinking like the world was gonna end (it didn't)
Took a shiner from the fist of your best friend (go figure)"
Song 3. Hozier - Someone New
"So I fall in love just a little bit, oh little bit
Everyday with someone new"
Song 4. Fear of the Water (Piano Version)
Song 5. Kesha - Praying
"I'm proud of who I am
No more monsters, I can breathe again
And you said that I was done
Well, you were wrong and now the best is yet to come
'Cause I can make it on my own"
[SPOILER]For the first song, it would relate to the fact that Merina is a rather stubborn person despite not appearing it- she'll do what she wishes to do and only recently has she ever considered the consequences. The second song more so seems to talk about things that have actually happened to her- she's an extremely heavy drinker and (ironically enough) was fit in the face by her best friend- who was also her lover of the time- that caused the end of their relationship and friendship. The fifth song actually goes back to this relationship, as Merina (more recently) has begun to forgive her ex for all the things he put her for despite the fact that he told her she would die without him. The third song also touches on the topic of love for Merina, and more so about how after she broke it off with her first lover, she drifted between them- never getting serious but just trying to find the one that would complete her. (Fear of the Water is just an instrumental song that I believe is one that fits her very well.)[/SPOILER][/SPOILER]
