"some songs remind me of the books I was reading at the time, or games I was playing, or trips I was on at the moment" Yes but now i need specifics
Hey Kelly!
Here are some specifics:
Name - Goo Goo Dolls: reminds me of my mom, whenever we are in a car for a long period of time, it must be listened to - at least 3 times
Sail On - Ryn Weaver: trip to Cuba over New Year's 2019/2020
Surrender - Billy Talent: playing Solitaire on the family computer in the basement of my childhood home
Our War - Neon Trees: makes me think of the book "One Day" by David Nicholls because I was listening to it on repeat while reading it
Acadia, Astoria, Cross My Heart, and Dearly Departed - Marianas Trench: makes me smile and think @wethelostboygirls
Traveling Song - Ryn Weaver: @wethelostboygirls "Soulmates aren't just lovers, you know."
Really so many songs remind me of @wethelostboygirls 💜😘💜
Perfect - Danny Michel: really cool song! Reminds me of the MADD assembly that I first heard it in 😭
betterman - Virigina to Vegas: taking the bus up to visit my dad, for Halloween 2020 and looking at the autumn leaves go by
Follow Your Fire - Kodaline and Shadow (feat. IRO) [From Songland] - Macklemore: my first month at grad school; I remember dancing around my room and walking around campus, respectively
And some songs remind me of the fics that I was reading while listening to them on repeat!

Over the course of a long career, the American singer Marlena Shaw moved from jazz to soul and back again, searching for settings that would best enhance her fine voice. In later decades she commanded the allegiance of the British fans of the rare-groove movement, who rediscovered and particularly cherished her version, released in 1969, of a much recorded song called California Soul.
Shaw, who has died aged 81, made her first stage appearance at the Apollo theatre in Harlem, New York, when she was 10 years old. Billie Holiday was still alive and Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan and Dinah Washington were other inescapable influences on a jazz-inclined teenage singer seemingly destined to work with big bands in dancehalls and smaller groups in nightclubs. In her later years she became familiar with the sound of hip-hop artists basing their hits on samples from her singles and album tracks.
Shaw’s recording of California Soul, a song written by Valerie Simpson and Nickolas Ashford, popped up in Gang Starr’s Check the Technique and Stereo MCs’ Sofisticated. It was also used in American TV commercials for Dockers shoes, KFC fast food and Dodge trucks, and in 2022 it was awarded an official gold record by the British Phonographic Industry.
Born Marlina Burgess in New Rochelle, New York, she showed musical talent from an early age and was given her first opportunity to take the stage in 1952 by her uncle, Jimmy Burgess, a trumpeter and bandleader who was performing at the Apollo. It was through his tuition that she acquired her understanding of jazz phrasing, while her mother encouraged her to study music at New York State Teachers’ College in Potsdam, a small town close to the Canadian border.
But she failed to complete the course, marrying young and bringing up five children before picking up the threads of a performing career that had barely begun. There were more false starts. In 1963 she missed an appearance at the Newport jazz festival with the trumpeter Howard McGhee after an argument with the musicians, and an attack of nerves ruined an audition with the great talent scout John Hammond, who had signed Holiday and Bob Dylan, among many others.
But in 1966, while singing at the Playboy Club in Chicago, she was signed up by the locally based Chess label, the home of many popular soul and R&B performers. Her first single was a vocal version of Joe Zawinul’s gospel-style tune Mercy Mercy Mercy, which had been an instrumental hit for Cannonball Adderley.
In 1968 Shaw toured Europe with Count Basie’s orchestra, involving the bandleader in an amusing routine as she improvised new words to Won’t You Come Home, Bill Bailey? It was while appearing with Basie at the Sands hotel in Las Vegas that she decided to make the gambling capital her home, moving there in 1970.
A contract with the Blue Note label led to a series of albums in a smooth soul-jazz style, including one recorded live at the Montreux jazz festival. The title and content of another album, Who Is This Bitch, Anyway?, indicated a desire to challenge the then-current popularity of the sexually explicit singer Millie Jackson.
A move to the Columbia label in 1977 saw her transforming Carole King and Gerry Goffin’s Go Away Little Girl, originally recorded by Bobby Vee, from a lovelorn ballad into a statement of female independence introduced by a lengthy rap directed at a feckless, workshy lover: “I figure if I’ve got to get up and go to work every day, then every able-bodied in the household is supposed to get up and go … If for some reason you feel that you can no longer be the man you were at the beginning of our relationship, then I’ve got this one thing to lay on you, my sweet. Go away, little boy …” But eventually the attitude softens, and after a seduction scene the song fades out on a note of surrender: “You think you can get a job by Thursday? You promise? Then you might as well stay … Don’t go away … ”
It became one of her most popular songs in live performance, the prefatory rap acquiring extra twists, turns, and layers of sardonic saltiness. At the New Morning club in Paris in 2010, the man in the song had become someone who had picked her up at an airport giftshop, its final scene acted out with elaborately dramatised hand gestures, smiles, laughter and a winning command of her audience.
An elegant presence on the concert stage, she sang with a symphony orchestra in New Zealand and toured for four years with Sammy Davis Jr. There were further recordings for the Verve, Concord and South Bay labels, and in 1989 a duet with Joe Williams, another former Basie singer, on an update of the old Louis Jordan song Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby earned her a Grammy nomination.
Shaw ceased all professional activity in 2016, retiring to her home in Las Vegas. Her survivors include her daughters April and Marla, a son, Robert, and several grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Here's my OTP playlist again with full explanations of each song.
Bitch with a Keyboard, Asshole With a Gun: Matt and Casey's Journey
There is mention of nsfw stuff but I've kept it pretty vague tbh.
Wicked Game (Chris Isaak): I used the original of this because I already have a HIM song on this playlist. Still considering switching to the Stone Sour version. I know it's probably a cliché choice. But I felt like I needed a starter if this was going to be a cohesive journey. From Matt's side this reflects the fact Casey both spared his life and saved him from the simulation first. For Casey it represents that moment a couple of weeks into being on the ship when they've just had sex and they're just joking around together. She looks into his eyes and as I've said before, she sees a dangerous potential there and realises they just can't do this again. She has important world-saving shit to do and she can't just go falling in love with anyone. So she rambles out the rule about not sleeping with anyone on the ship more than once, and she sticks to it when more of her friends come aboard. Thing is, once those months have passed, everyone's like oh yeah, we all had that one time with the Boss, and doesn't think much of it. Matt is probably the only one who still thinks about that rule a lot, for obvious reasons. He has no idea he's the reason it exists.
Secretly (Skunk Anansie): This is really representative of the kind of mid-portion of their friendship before romantic feelings develop. When Matt in particular is trying his best *not* to be attracted to her (by the way the scene with him and Johnny regarding this is one of my favourite things ever ever ever I love their bond) but Casey keeps absent-mindedly telling him shit about how much she'd like to be pinned to the bed by a dirty talking Austen hero type and that sort of thing. 😅 Also kind of works from the opposite perspective. Matt wants to be with Asha so really he should be steering clear of Casey but he just... doesn't manage to. Honestly when I said a while ago I worry I portray Matt as a bit of a dick, it's this sort of thing I mean 😅
Dreaming Of You (The Coral): This could be an innocent enough song but thanks to Scrubs I associate it heavily with sex, plus with the kind of tempo it has... I tie it together with the feverish results of the interactions I mentioned in connection with the previous song. I don't know what the correct term is for "a captain and lieutenant listening to each other erm.... enjoying themselves through a wall and getting encouraged by each others noises" other than "inappropriate".
Right Here In My Arms (HIM): I really associate HIM with Matt; I feel like he has a bigass heartagram belt buckle hidden somewhere in his old flat, haha. Anyway, this is their friendship a little later on. "So hard she's trying, But her heart won't turn to stone" is very very Casey and this whole song is representative of the way she keeps returning to him despite the fact it's inadvertently leading to her falling for him.
Surrender (Billy Talent): I've said before how much the second verse reminds me of them "Even though I know what I'm looking for, She's got a brick wall behind her door, I'd travel time and confess to her, But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger.". It's very representative of both when Matt gets to the pining, unrequited (ok not really) love stage with Casey as well as the whole time travel plot and how that plays out. Also I just want to talk about the line "She wonders why I'm always in a good mood" because like... I constantly think about Casey thinking "Matt's secretly such a sweet funny guy, I wonder why not everyone sees it?" and it's like... he's comfortable around you my dude. He's happy and can be himself. His socially awkward has stopped socially awkwarding and that's why he doesn't need that egotistical facade.
Gunslinger (Avenged Sevenfold): for that period of time they are really missing each other during my fic. It was playing when they were bonding in Camden a year previously and Pierce complains that Casey starts listening to it over and over when Matt is gone. The bit that captures her is "I won't question why so many have died, My prayers have made it through yeah, 'Cause with all these things we do, It don't matter when I'm coming home to you."
Demolition Lovers (My Chemical Romance): This could really be placed higher or lower but it mostly makes me think of if Matt and the younger Casey really did go and do some "Bonnie and Clyde sorta shit" or really did run away together after the party. But it also makes me think of any situation of them running off and dying together. Which happens more often than you'd think.
Gone Too Soon (Simple Plan): Pretty much this whole album (Get Your Heart On) reminds me of the thing between 2022 Matt and 2016 Casey, and the band has links to both of their teen years in my hc. But this is the song they dance to and it has heavy foreshadowing for the next couple of chapters.
Last Dance (The Cure): It plays right after the previous song but they don't get to dance to it in 2016. That's really supposed to symbolise that this is not the end for them. But it sums up so much of the way I see Casey waiting nervously the night they finally get together, and they dance to it that night too. I've said this before but a lot of The Cure songs remind me of them.
Undisclosed Desires (Muse): This to me is very representative of their sexual relationship but also of the fact that even before they are together Matt begins to see more to Casey than the typical perception of her.
Running (No Doubt): This song is so them to me. The fact it's No Doubt makes me think of Casey, the fact it sounds like chiptune makes me think of Matt. The fact they do make this agreement that for the sake of their survival they will run instead of fighting when needed. Matt's surprise that she chose him of all people. Casey's fear that she'll fuck this up somehow. But the fact that they have each other through it all. I'd say it's between this and Last Dance for 'their' song, but I feel like this is the one that they'd think of as their song.
Deathbeds (Bring Me The Horizon): OK, admittedly, I have a load of songs on the longer playlist that could go here (I Will Follow You Into The Dark, There Is A Light That Never Goes Out etc.). But I feel like this one is a really good representative of that feeling of "I strongly believe we might end up dying together but I'm still never going to leave you.".
House on the Hill (The Pretty Reckless): It's a little more sombre than it should be for how I picture their future/endgame but nonetheless a lot of it relates. The way it starts with "Somewhere in the end of all this hate" relating to how they first crossed paths. The fact that what Matt manages to pull off more or less allows them to settle down by hiding/fading away, at least for a while. I'll eventually do a long post on what that entails for those who haven't read my fic but suffice to say it links back to themes from the first game of Aisha's name persisting through her music but her fake death protecting her. Nonetheless, the Saints are going to be forever and the next generation will inevitably get dragged in which is where "Until they drink the wine and they will, they will" comes into it.
Always (Killswitch Engage): I just wanted to end on a more optimistic note and sum up that although they are never going to *quite* have a traditional happily ever after, they will always have each other. Their love is eternal.
❤💜💙

Your latest fic (caught up btw) reminds me of this song:
This could be directed towards Roy’s retirement, or the (currently) estranged relationship between riza and Roy (SOBBING AND THROWING UP)
Ohhh this goes in my Royai playlist right away !! Thank you, I don't know The Smiths at all, to be honest, but you're making me want to try their music out ! This one indeed fits this chapter very well 🥲
Don't worry, you're spot on with the (currently) I'm not really spoiling anything if I reveal that it won't last 😅
Thank you so much for reading and letting me know about it and sharing this song!
And since you're sharing music I'll share a song too, I keep forgetting to add it, but the title actually comes from this song (like many of my Royai fics 😅). The whole song doesn't fit perfectly, but the chorus is just perfect for them, imo, and this fic in particular.
Thanks again, and I hope this fic will keep making you sob and throw up want to read more 😂😅

WIP soundtrack (tag game)
Thanks for tagging me @writernopal. I chose some songs that fit my wip Drachenbrut, included some lyrics and explained why. Major spoilers for some events happening in my book because I'm oversharing. Oh and listen to the songs, I promise they are good!
I could burn your motherfucking village to the ground
I could crack your skull between these motherfucking thighs
There are some things you'll never understand
You do not dance everyday with the fear
Of living in headlights, the hunted, the deer
"Der Himmel ist mein Zimmer"
This song fits Enya's revenge plan to burn down the village where her family was murdered to end her fear and flight. Also "the sky is my room" is true since she flies with her dragon wings and has lost her home.
Venomous bitch, old witch, you're the reason for all our sins
And you scream confess to the evidence
Burn the witch, burn the witch!
This song shows how witches are perceived by the villagers. Esmeralda, the helpful witch, ends up being burned at stake.
In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, just us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you are the one that got away
Meara is heartbroken when Enya leaves her again at the end of her journey, to return to her village and get her revenge. This time shall be their last time.
Surrender every word, every thought, every sound
Surrender every touch, ever smile, every frown
Surrender yourself to me
I never had the nerve to ask, has my moment come and passed?
All Talib wants is Milena to surrender herself to him and become his wife, but he never stood a chance and the moment has passed.
I'm tagging @charlies-storybook @tulusrauta @captain-kraken @perasperaadastrawriting @writingbyricochet to share the soundtrack of your wip.

matt miller for the songs ask? :)
You would probably think this would be an easy one for me but it's really really not 😅 my hc of him being pretty developed somehow makes it harder.
That said, don't ask me why but whenever I hear Lips Like Morphine by Kill Hannah I think of Matt. It must just be a vibes thing.
Like the lyrics *could* fit him especially with my hcs about the way he kind of obsesses over Kinzie then Asha then Casey women but it's more about the music which is funny bc I'm usually a lyrics person when it comes to playlists and such.
I've said this before but Secretly by Skunk Anansie and Surrender by Billy Talent capture pining-for-Casey-Matt in the 2020-2022 period in my writing but like... that's more events than his personality.
I'm going to remember a song that actually fits him lyrics-wise later and either be kicking myself over it or reblog with the addition 😅
