Shoebox Playlist

Mar 03, 2012 13:04

I've been casually stalking this community for quite a while since I read Shoebox, and I definitely don't want it to die. Anyways, I made a playlist and coverart. I'm sure half of these have been used in other playlists, but voila.





THE MARAUDERS
Really the first 10 chapters.

1. This Charming Man- The Smiths (Sirius Black's unofficial theme song)
2. Just Like Heaven- The Cure
3. Hold it In- Jukebox the Ghost
4. I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend- The Ramones (James Potter's unofficial theme song- but it does work for Sirius towards Remus as well (if you ignore the "hey little girl"))
5. Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now- The Smiths
6. Uncle John's Band- Grateful Dead
7. Close to Me- The Cure
8. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out- The Smiths

Chapter 11 is obviously The Beatles' White Album, and even though I know it's not on the White Album, I've always thought "In My Life" goes perfectly with this chapter, and Remus/Sirius in general.

IN WHICH EVERYTHING IS ANGST AND MISERY AND PAIN
(chapters 12 through 22)

9. Bookends- Simon and Garfunkel
10. Killing Me Softly- Frank Sinatra
11. Roslyn- Bon Iver
12. Little Person- Mayer Hawthorne
13. Still Fighting It- Ben Folds (listen to this one for chapter twenty one part b especially, as it is Sirius' growing up rant almost verbatim)
14. I Can't Make You Love Me/Nick of Time- Bon Iver
15. Skinny Love- Bon Iver
16. Somewhere Only We Know- Keane (chapter twenty two)
17. You and I- Wilco

IN WHICH IT'S OK BECAUSE THEIR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL AND FRAGILE ENOUGH TO BE THERE LONG AFTER THEY ARE GONE 
Chapters 23 onwards- lovely and romantic, but a little bit doomed. God this pairing will be the end of me, I swear.

18. Strangers- The Kinks*
19. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome- Bob Dylan
20. Friday I'm In Love- The Cure
21. The Very Thought of You- Billie Holiday
22. I Will- The Beatles
23. Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want- The Smiths (Remus Lupin's unofficial theme song. Can and should be listened to at any point in the fic. very melancholy and wonderful.)
24. The Suburbs (continued)- Arcade Fire
