Mirrored Playlist
At This Moment - Billy Vera and the Beaters This is a really sad breakup song, and that is how Violet feels about her rejection by Greg.
Magic - Olivia Newton John Because she's magic and nothing can stand in her way.
Hard Habit to Break - Chicago Another great 80s breakup song. Violet definitely can't quit Greg. I picture her sitting in her room, listening to this and wallowing.
Live to Tell - Madonna "Too blind to see the writing on the wall" accurately describes Violet in the early part of the novel. But she does live to tell the tale -- and who knows what else. This haunting song is my favorite by Madonna, and it definitely reminds me of Violet.
Songs Celine Should Listen To
F*cking Perfect - Pink I love Pink, and this is the type of self-talk Celine really needs to be giving herself. It's hard because she has her stepmother's more toxic voice in her head.
Beautiful - Christina Aguilera To remind her that she shouldn't let words bring her down.
Shake it Off - Taylor Swift Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, but Celine needs to shake it off. Who wouldn't listen to Taylor Swift?
Roar - Katy Perry To remind her to get up when people knock her down.
Heroic Songs for Goose
Let Her Go - Passenger Goose is really trying to let Celine go, but it's not working out too well.
Try a Little Tenderness - Otis Redding Goose loves old movies, and his favorites are by Jon Hughes. This video is of Jon Cryer as a teen, lipsyching in Pretty in Pink. Goose identifies with Cryer's character, Duckie, who doesn't get the girl.
Everyday Superhero -- Smash Mouth When letting her go doesn't work, Goose realizes he needs to get his superhero on.
Go the Distance - Michael Bolton And sometimes, you just have to channel a Disney character based upon Greek mythological hero. Maybe he'll find a hero's welcome.
