This will probably be weird, but I couldn't resist. No copyright infringement intended on any of these songs or artists! Look them up or buy their music on your own - I am not distributing anything but their titles and positive recommendation.
The list isn't something I can put a limit on, but these are some songs that I listened to while writing, reading, and thinking about the story. Plus some character themes, just for kicks! Try them out for yourself and find songs of your own. Reading in silence isn't always fun. Thank goodness there's music, no? n_n
1: A Thousand Years – Christina Perri – Chase and Angela – love song
I thought this song was really cute. It relates to their longing and how they will wait a thousand years if they have to - they're just that loyal to each other. You may 'aw' now.
2: Drive By – Train – Chase – love song
This is a much more upbeat song that I can see in Chase's perspective. Most affairs are just flings - they always go back to the husband or wife. (Which is good... - I'm not condoning having an affair! xD) I just like that Chase's love for Angela is the real thing.
3: Enchanted – Taylor Swift – Chase and Angela – love song
How adorable! Swift is notorious for her fairytale songs, so I couldn't resist this one. Maybe how they felt when they met? Or when they realized they loved each other? Hm, something to ponder.
4: Gotta Be Somebody – Nickelback – Chase and Angela – love song
Fun song. And yes, it's Nickelback. I'm not on the bandwagon on this one - I do not hate this band. So I have no shame putting up this song; my favorite by Nickelback. It relates to how both Angela and Chase are still looking - even though they shouldn't anymore in all technicalities because they're married. Wasn't for love though!
5: Ordinary Day – Vanessa Carlton – Angela – love song
This song is adorable. Enough said.
6: Quiet – Lights – Chase and Angela – love song
I want to say 'ditto.' This song is how I picture Chase and Angela's afternoons together. How fluffy~
7: The Rose – Westlife – Chase and Angela – love song
This song is so sweet. And I couldn't resist the slightly evil river reference in the beginning... xD
8: Home – Vanessa Carlton – Chase and Angela – sad/love song
Their song! This song just... defines them for me. "With you, all I know is I'm coming home."
9: My Heart Will Go On – Celine Dion – Chase and Angela – sad/love song
Typical. Especially with the recent Titanic craze, I couldn't resist. Live on, Angela!
10: Right Here Waiting – Richard Marx – Chase and Angela – sad/love song
Both Chase and Angela will wait for each other. No matter what. Sort of like the songs above with the message, but the sound is unique and rather melancholy like the characters.
11: Wherever You Will Go – Charlene Soraia – Chase and Angela – sad/love song
So sad! Such a love and lost song. So beautiful.
12: Somebody That I Used to Know – Goyte – Jin and Angela – sad/love song
Popular, but rather spot on. If this was a musical, this would've been a fun duet. xD
13: Follow Me – Uncle Kracker – Chase – humorous love song
So eerily accurate! And rather hilarious. Enjoy this one and laugh with it. It's great. =3
14: So in Love With Two – Mikaila – Angela – humorous love song in reference to Chase and Jin
I'm going to regret putting this in later, but I found it funny at the time I found it. Another... just listen and you'll see.
15: Dirty Little Secret – All American Rejects – humorous secret based song
Yay for secret references! Especially fun ones like this. Not exactly deep, but it correlates nicely.
16: Fences – Paramore – General – it fits everyone and all their lies
The miniature description says enough, I think.
17: Secret – The Pierces – General – it fits everyone and all their lies
Once again, it's fairly self-explanatory. Albeit, this song is very creepy. ._.
18: I Will Remember You – Sarah McLachlan – Angela – sad song for Chase/Jin
Sad and cheesy. Well, what do you expect with Sarah McLachlan? She's the one on all of those depressing animal rights commericals! ._. But I think this song is sweet and it can reflect how Angela wants either Jin or Chase or both to remember her. Don't forget what we had sort of thing.
19: To Where You Are – Rhydian Roberts/Chloe Agnew – Angela – sad/love song for Chase
I picture this song when Chase is dying - obviously when you look at the lyrics. xD But if you didn't already notice, I used the lyrics to this song for the final lines of the last chapter. They're so beautiful - I felt compelled to finish on this note. It's tragic and broken and sad, but there's somehow a hint of hope and a ray of light poking through - Angela will be with Chase soon. n_n
20: Perfect – P!nk – Angela – for Edmund
Though a little unconventional, it can work. Edmund is hated by practically everyone - the poor kid needs to be reassured it's not him. He's perfect the way he is. =)
21: Brave – Idina Menzel – Angela – character theme
Such a powerful strong. I think it fits her stubborn, head-strong persona perfectly. n_n
22: I Dreamed a Dream/On My Own – Les Misérables – Angela – character theme
A pair of powerful songs, but so much deeper and sadder than most songs on this list. So heart-wrenching. Angela does quite a bit of thinking when she's alone, and it's most often about Chase and the life she's lost. They're both so sweet, sad, and real. I hope you can see Angela in them like I can. :)
23: Untouchable – Taylor Swift – Angela – character theme
Great suggestion by violetfireflies I simply couldn't resist. I didn't know this song existed until she pointed it out, so give her a thank you! It fits Angela so well and how she longs for Chase – but she can't have him. =( Sad, but really pretty.
24: I'm Still Here – John Rzeznik – Edmund – character theme
Go Disney. xD Treasure Planet, anyone? Anyways, this song reflects Edmund's sense of worth. He's always seen right through - he's an object, a symbol like the scarf. He's not a person like he longs to be. So it demonstrates his individuality and spirit. I really like it~
25: Fix You – Coldplay – Kasey – character theme
So sad! Kasey wants to fix Angela, make her better again and rebuild her heart, but he just can't. He's such a depressing guy, but it's hard to see sometimes because he's so sugar-coated. ._.
26: Halo – Beyoncé – Chase and Angela – character theme/love song
This kind of makes me laugh, actually. xD But it's cute - they both need each other just as much as the other. They save each other (in my opinion) equally in the end, too.
27: Not Over You – Gavin DeGraw – Jin – character theme
How depressing. Jin just can't move on. Guess Angela's one heck of a girl, eh?
28: Half of My Heart - John Mayer - Chase - character theme
Such a nice find by DesertRoseSparty. Thanks so much! n_n I listened to it a few times after you told me about it and found it fits really well for him. Even the music video... I'd like to think that half of his heart has to belong to Maya because he truly loves Dakota, but the other half is Angela's and Edmund's. I love it!
29: Nothing Left Here to Burn – Lovers and Liars – Chase – character theme
Truth. It's such a power-packed, gut-wrenching song. He's so frustrated and tired and he wants out - but he's trapped. =(
30: Call Your Girlfriend - Robyn - Maya - character theme
I love this song! Lennon and Maisy sing it better though... xD Anyways, I think this fits Maya perfectly. It's so sad. Chase found somebody new, in all technicalities. Maya is yesterday's news. It's not her fault, but she still winds up the loser. =(
31: You Should Have Lied – Stephanie McIntosh – Maya – character theme
Fairly obvious from the title, but if you haven't heard the song (like I've assumed with each of these) Chase tells the truth and Maya wishes he never said anything. It's what Angela believed - ignorance is bliss. Maya just can't handle it.
