I mentioned a couple of times during the Yuletide process that I had put a playlist together that I was listening to over and over again, while writing
A Complex Problem. And sometimes while staring at the page, actually crying and making the “now kiss!” gesture at my screen. I promised Becca at the time that when reveals were up I would share my playlist.
The whole thing is available on Spotify
HERE. I don’t own all the songs, and Spotify is not currently supporting purchase, so I was unable to upload all of them to 8tracks. The ones I do have are available here:
A Complex Problem from
debi.linton on
8tracks Radio.
Playlist:
Miss Peggy Blakeney: Stand Still, Look Pretty - The Wreckers
But people have problems that are worse than mine
I don’t want you to think I’m complaining all the time
Situation abroad: Sound of the Revolution - Lunatic Calm
The League: Are we All We Are - P!nk
I know you think it’s not your problem
I know you think that god will solve them
But if your shit is not together
It’ll never be
Marguerite St. Just: Vintage People - Eisley
Do you remember, how it was when we were fascinators,
Sneaking glances,
The Rue de Richelieu: Paris is Burning - Ladyhawke
I can’t keep up, I’m a wreck, but I want it.
Tell me the truth, is it love or just Paris?
Friendship: A Wish for Something More - Amy MacDonald
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairytale romances every single day
Marguerite in England: Perfectly Happy - Alisha’s Attic
Perfectly happy with life
My lips cry happy words
And it feels like they’re blue tacked in the soul
The Scarlet Pimpernel: The Scarlet Pimpernel - The Scarlet Pimpernel OBC
Is he robust or very pale?
At least we know he’s male!
Yearning: The Tower - Vienna Teng
She carries the act so convincingly
The fact is sometimes she believes it
She can be happy with the way things are
Be happy with the things she’s done
Armand the captive: Somewhere Out There - An American Tale
Somewhere out there someone’s saying a prayer
That we’ll find one another in that big somewhere out there
Conversation in Richmond: Hallelujah - k.d.lang
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah
Only Love - The Scarlet Pimpernel OBC
Don’t be afraid to make it real
Don’t be afraid to feel tonight
Landslide - Fleetwood Mac
Well, I’ve been afraid of changing
‘Cause I’ve built my life around you
But time makes you bolder
Children get older
I’m getting older too
Everything - Rachael Sage
Kissing you beneath the ceiling of constellations
Everything about this evening’s a perfect mistake
Marguerite’s discovery: Be My Hero - October Project
Keep what is secret
Secret
We can believe it
Be my hero
Flight to France: Hands - Jewel
I won’t be made useless
I won’t be idle with despair
I will gather myself around my faith
For light does the darkness most fear
Reunion: I Hope You Get to Meet Your Hero - Skunk Anansie
I hope you get to meet your hero
I hope she never lets you down
I hope she never tears you heart out
Or runs away without a sound
Joyful Girl - Ani DiFranco
I do it because it’s the least I can do
I do it because I learned it from you
I do it just because I want to
because I want to
