There are a lot of musical things going on in SOFT LIMITS, especially related to musical theatre. I want to show Frederic and Evie’s relationship through song so I’ve put together this playlist by chapter as if they were in their own musical of love, passion and heartbreak. Each song is a special favourite of mine with lyrics that are meaningful for their journey. I hope you enjoy the songs too.
Full playlist can also be found here.
Chapter One & Two
Blue Jeans, white shirt
Walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn
Blue Jeans, Lana Del Rey (Penguin Prison remix)
Chapter Three & Four
Silently the senses abandon their defenses
Helpless to resist the notes I write
For I compose the music of the night
The Music of the Night, The Phantom of the Opera
Chapter Five
Instrumental
J’y Suis Jamais Alle, Yann Tiersen (“I’ve never been there”)
Chapter Six
Piano Solo
All I Ask of You, The Phantom of the Opera
Chapter Seven & Eight
Power and control, I’m gonna make you fall
Women and men we are the same
But love will always be a game
A human vulnerability
Doesn’t mean that I am weak
Power and Control, Marina and the Diamonds
Chapter Nine
Just close your eyes let me hypnotize you
I can make your storm feel sky blue
Girl when you lost you know I’ll find you,
If I’m not beside you I’m behind you
Hypnotize U, N.E.R.D
Chapter Ten & Eleven
I’m so into you, I can barely breathe
And all I wanna do is to fall in deep
But close ain’t close enough ’til we cross the line
So name a game to play, and I’ll roll the dice
Into You, Ariana Grande
Chapter Twelve
Baby you got me,
And ain’t nowhere that I’d be
Than with your arms around me
Back and forth you rock me
So I surrender, to every word you whisper
Every door you enter, I will let you in
What’s My Name? Rihanna ft. Drake
Chapter Thirteen
You’ve applied the pressure
To have me crystalised
And you’ve got the faith
That I could bring paradise
Crystalised, The xx
Chapter Fourteen
Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight
Do my hair up real, real nice
And syncopate my skin to your heart beating
‘Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you
I just wanna look good for you, good for you
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
And still look good for you, good for you
Good For You, Selena Gomez
Chapter Fifteen
This ocean of passion
Breaking through my veins
Causing my irrationality
My disarray and my bad luck
Your love will kill me
Your love will kill me
And I shall curse you
Until the end of my life
Tu Vas Me Détruire, Notre Dame de Paris (“Your Love Will Kill Me”)
Chapter Sixteen & Seventeen
I chased your love around a figure 8
I need you more than I can take
You promised forever and a day
And then you take it all away
Figure 8, Ellie Goulding
Chapter Eighteen
You never said a word
You didn’t send me no letter
Don’t think I could forgive you
Prayer in C, Lilly Wood & The Prick (Robin Schulz remix)
Chapter Nineteen
And oh
I was a king under your control
And oh
I wanna feel like you’ve let me go
So let me go
King, Years & Years
Chapter Twenty
I found the truth beneath your lies
And true love never has to hide
Trade your broken wings for mine
I’ve seen your scars and kissed your crimes
All Night, Beyonce
