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
