I have a lot of feelings about this, you guys. A LOT. After watching the Tennant/Tate Much Ado, I already had two songs in mind for this mixtape. Put yourself in the frame of mind of two people who may have had something going on at one point, still have a lot of feelings about it, but aren't together anymore. Then click play:
Him: "She Knows" by John Fullbright*
She knows a thing or two about me she didn't learn in passing.
She knows I'm scared of the dark, she knows I'll bleed on command,She knows I'll shut my mouth if she'll take my hand,
And just how cruel I can be. She knows a thing or two about me.
Her: "A Case of You" by Joni Mitchell
She knew your life, She knew your devils and your deeds
And she said
"Go to him, stay with him if you can, But be prepared to bleed."
The rest are gravy. I give you a hint of where I think they'd fall in the play, but it's up to you to agree with me or not:
Them: "I May Hate You Sometimes" by the Posies
One-sided love: "If It Kills Me" by Jason Mraz
Writing letters: "If I Wrote You" by Dar Williams
Writing songs: "Happy" by John Fullbright
And a few more to round us out:
"Lover to Lover" by Florence and the Machine
"Our Day Will Come" by Amy Winehouse
"Love Has Brought Me Around" by James Taylor
"Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow" by Carole King (ugh, you guyssss all of the feelings.**)
"Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones
"Very First Time" by John Fullbright ***
* I apologize for the number of Fullbright songs on this mixtape. Basically that whole album could be my feelings about Beatrice and Benedick.
** Okay, in addition to this being a play my (then future) husband and I have done together, this song, you guys. I knew my husband for six or seven YEARS before we started dating and I was convinced for a while that he was going to come to his senses and think "If this was supposed to happen, it would have happened a long time ago. YOU GUYS.
*** Think about this song and the first night that Benedick and Beatrice get to just hang out as a couple. I'm going to say it again. YOU GUYS. (Song starts around the 2 minute mark.)
p.s. I know this is a list of crazy. I'll try to make a Spotify playlist if I have the time/ambition/tech savvy (I still burn CDs you guys, have patience with me).
