Tag in with your characters and then tag with songs that fit them. Explanations are always excellent. Suggesting songs you think fit other characters is also amazing.

I was relistening to City Middle by The National and thought of Mari and Moirine:

I've got five hundred in twenties
And I've got a ton of great ideas

[...]

Parking your car, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You were thinking out loud, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You were parking your car, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You were thinking out loud, you said, I'm overwhelmed
You said, I think I'm like Tennessee Williams
I wait for the click
I wait, but it doesn't kick in

It seems like the perfect storm of self-destruction and anxiety, tbh!

Radical Face seems like it would be pretty good for Isaac since it's kind of Southern...not gothic, but something close to that. Southern Genealogical Epic??? I should know this. But anyway, I really like The Crooked Kind for Elia and Dee:

Some get dealt simple hands
Some walk the common paths, all nice and worn
But all folks are damaged goods
It ain't a talk of "if," just one of "when" and "how"

So, collect your scars and wear 'em well
Your blood's a good an ink as any
Go scratch your name into the clouds
And pull 'em all... down

The thunder plays it's drum
The air is heavy with the smell of storms
And I sit beside my brother and I feel him shake
As he laughs himself right back to sleep
And I'm laughin' with him

It's a bit more abstract than some of his other songs, but the idea of identification with family/blood seemed to be a pretty large theme in their interactions, so.

I really like The Crooked Kind for Dee and Elia. Ugh, it's perfect, considering their lack of power/authority/social standing. And I feel like if all the Cosimo kids could accept each other's fuckups instead of pouncing on an opportunity to get a dig in, they'd be... a really functional family of fuckups.

Still gotta listen to the m/m one.

I feel like Always Gold works for them too, on some levels. I mean! They definitely don't have the close knit relationship described but there's something about it that makes me think "Cosmo women -> Elia" tbh

And I was there, when you grew restless Left in the dead of night And I was there, when three months later You were standing in the door all beat and tired And I stepped aside

[...]

We were opposites at birth I was steady as a hammer No one worried 'cause they knew just where I'd be And they said you were the crooked kind And that you'd never have no worth But you were always gold to me

And back when we were kids We swore we knew the future And our words would take us half way 'round the world But I never left this town And you never saw New York And we ain't ever cross the sea

But I am fine with where I am now This home is home, and all that I need But for you, this place is shame But you can blame me when there's no one left to blame

Oh I don't mind
