Building Forts Playlist

On the Playlist: I Need You - Relient K

I love reading about others' writing playlists, so I thought I'd share mine for Building Forts. I've divided it into songs for the three principal characters (Callie, Chase, and Darren), and for the two principal relationships (Callie/Chase and Callie/Darren). Of course, some songs fit better than others, but they're all songs I've heard in Building Forts at one time or another. I've bolded the ones that are almost perfect for the story.

Callie:
Scars - Allison Iraheta
Dance in the Dark - Lady GaGa
I Can't Make You Love Me - Bonnie Raitt
Dear... - Maria Mena

Chase:
Angels on the Moon - Thriving Ivory

Darren:
Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons

Callie/Chase:
Fix You - Coldplay
All I Need - Matt Kearny
For Blue Skies - Strays Don't Sleep
So Pure - Alanis Morissette
18th Floor Balcony - Blue October
A Beautiful Mess - Jason Mraz
Hazy - William Fitzsimmons & Rosi Golan
Wonderwall - Vitamin String Quartet
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry
Listen to Your Heart - DHT
Hey Lady - Thriving Ivory
I'm On Your Side - Maria Mena
Beside You - Marianas Trench

Callie/Darren:
Cold As You - Taylor Swift
Two Steps Away - Patti LaBelle
Corner of Your Heart - Ingrid Michaelson
Chivas - Kelly Clarkson

I would love to read your playlists! Leave it in the comments, link to it, whatever, I'd just love to know what it is.

What a great collection of songs! I have a playlist for Dealbreaker, but the whole putting songs to a relationship is such a good one!

My theme songs for characters (like, what their favourite songs are) is: Raff - Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus, Eliana - Turn it Up by Robots in Disguise, Phoenix - Slaughter by Billy Preston.

PS. I LOVE that you have Mumford in here!! :D

Hi Brianne,

Caitlin - Thank you! I would love to say that I know any of those songs, but I don't lol. I definitely want to look into them though, I wrote this post hoping to find new music :P MUMFORD & SONS ARE SO MY OBSSESION RIGHT NOW. Yeah, the chorus of that song is so perfect for Darren, though the "Rate yourself and rape yourself" line (one of my favourite lyrics ever) always makes me think of Callie.

Nikki - You reminded me that I forgot Airplanes! Lol Your playlist is awesome. I'll always have a soft spot for Dashboard Confessional <3


E.J. - Hi! Yes, I do have good taste in music :P Ingrid is incredible. Thanks for the follow!

I believe that you need to write more on this subject matter, it might
not be a taboo matter but typically people don't speak about these topics. To the next! Best wishes!!
