Hello. Uh, these songs kind of go around the topics of being in love, having an unrequited crush on someone, etc etc. I have a lot of songs on my Spotify so I wanted to gather a bunch of them that are dreamy and sentimental and romantic, and make a playlist that I feel go on brand with the theme of the book (considering the main character is also a music nerd).

Link to the playlist (on Spotify) is pasted at the bottom.

You Lose! - Magdalena Bay

I'm running out of my time
A flower gone dry
Your lips touching mine won't do
Only what's left of my pride
Could lust for a lie
You aim, you attack, you lose

cardigan - Taylor Swift

But I knew you
Playing hide-and-seek and
Giving me your weekends, I
I knew you
Your heartbeat on the High Line
Once in 20 lifetimes, I

Sleep - Hatchie

You don't have to speak out loud
You can say it in your sleep
Just come see me in my dreams
No wonder I'm smiling in my sleep

This Enchanted - Hatchie

It's washing over me
This enchanted, this enchanted
Your image is all I see
This enchanted, this enchanted (ah-ah-ah-ah)

Mia - Snail Mail

Lost love, so strange
And heaven's not real, babe
But I wish that I
Could lay down next to you
I wish that I
Could lay down next to you

A Pearl - Mitski

And it left a pearl in my hand
And I roll it around
Every night, just to watch it glow
Every night, baby, that's where I go

mirrored heart - FKA Twigs

But I'm never gonna give up
Though I'm probably gonna think about you all the time
And for the lovers who found a mirrored heart
They just remind me I'm without you

Forget About Life - Alvvays

Did you want to forget about life?
Did you want to forget about life with me tonight?
Underneath this flickering light
Did you want to forget about life with me tonight?

Be Sweet - Japanese Breakfast

Tell the men I'm coming, tell them count the days
I can feel the night passing by like a mistake waiting for me
Caught up in my feelings, overthink the truth
Fantasize you've left me behind
And I'm turned back running for you

Night Shift - Lucy Dacus

You got a 9 to 5, so I'll take the night shift
And I'll never see you again if I can help it
In five years I hope the songs feel like covers
Dedicated to new lovers

Supercut - Lorde

And in my head
The visions never stop
These ribbons wrap me up
But when I reach for you, there's just a supercut

Valentine - Snail Mail

Can't love for us both
You've gotta live and I gotta go
As long as it's us two
Fuck being remembered, I think I was made for you

Backseat (feat. Carly Rae Jepsen) - Charli XCX

I'm wide awake, lying next to him and feel it all
I got a thirst for distraction that I can't take back
My fingers run through his hair
I'm grippin' at regrets
I put my mouth on his lips to taste

Bad Friend - Rina Sawayama

Guess we fell out, what was that all about?
Maybe I overreacted, well, maybe you shouldn't have
God, it's insane how things can change like that
Don't even know where you are
What you do and who you do it with, oh

Waking Up - Magdalena Bay

Every day was the same, so predictable
Yeah, I wanted something new
It was you, yeah, it was you
I'd seen you 'round and I found that you seemed alright
But I never made the move (Ooh)
And I knew, yeah, then I knew

How To Get Physical - Magdalena Bay

Cheap wine taking over me
I never thought I'd dare to get up out my seat
And then my heartbeat is in my feet
I get a little rhythm and it's one two three like

Chaeri - Magdalena Bay

Regrets, the things I should've said
Was I a bad friend who was only that bad with you?
I'm sorry, did you feel lonely?
I didn't realise back then it was really that bad for you

Lover - Taylor Swift

Can I go where you go?
Can we always be this close forever and ever?
And ah, take me out, and take me home
You're my, my, my, my
Lover

Crying In Public - Chairlift

Sorry I'm crying in public this way
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you
I'm sorry I'm causing a scene on the train
I'm falling for you
I'm falling for you, ah

I Bet on Losing Dogs - Mitski

I bet on losing dogs
I know they're losing and I'll pay for my place
By the ring
Where I'll be looking in their eyes when they're down
I'll be there on their side
I'm losing by their side

I Feel Alive - TOPS

Lost nights, trying to remember
When I'm in your arms, I can finally surrender
I feel alive
Looking in your eyes

Don't Be So Hard on Your Own Beauty - yeule

I look into your eyes and
and see a bright white light
and you turn this horrible place
Into
Orange light, sunset in sight
You tell me not to
Be so hard on my own beauty
You still
Hold me even though
I'm made of fire burning through
You hold me gently, but these

enemy - Charli XCX

Suddenly, you're in my bedroom under my sheets every night
Suddenly, I lose my fear, it feels good, yeah
I feel guilty, I feel nervous, I feel certain now
Maybe, maybe you can reach me, yeah
