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.

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.
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
