*pirouette**arabesque* just dancing in to give another unsolicited song recommendation - "love you like that" by dagny is the song for all your "blair fell first" needs (and workout/power walk mixes). I would include my lyrics of choice, but really it's the whole dang thing, so I'll just drop in part of the chorus: "you know when they say you got the real thing / and nothing else matters? / I love you like that / I love you like that." INSTANT SEROTONIN TO MY BRAIN.
*clumsily soft-shoes in* soooooo funny thing about these lovely unsolicited song recommendations (which are always welcome)ā¦I made you a Thing:
nevertothethirdās Unofficial Dair Playlist
(aka Dan Humphrey and Blair Waldorf Are Total Saps: the Album)
So I took all of your recs from the ask box and ao3 comments, added a few of my own selected tracks and made š„š„š„ this playlist!
Youtube link here. Tracklist & annotations under the cut. I hope you enjoy! ššš
Young and in Love - Ingrid Michaelson
Starting strong with this absolute BOP
And you break my walls down (Coming down) / 'Cause you make me fall apart in a good way
Only You - as performed by Joshua Radin
Pulled directly from the ao3 comments on the milo-verse. I was immediately interested bc I love the original so much. Which may or may not be Captain Swan related
Wonder if you'll understand / It's just the touch of your hand / Behind a closed door
Like Ships Need the Sea - Emily Hearn
Another ao3 comment rec
Finally, you gave me the hope I'd awaited / Finally, you gave me your heart
Storm Cominā - The Wailinā Jennys
The first of my own inserts to pad out this playlist. I picked this one because a) The Wailinā Jennys are an all-time fave and their albums were the soundtrack of my writing the āI know a placeā-verse (plus that series title is a lyric of theirs!) and b) itās hella sexy
When that love calls, open up your door
Souvenir - boygenius
Pulling thorns out of my palm / Work a midnight surgery / When you cut a hole into my skull / Do you hate what you see? / Like I do
Best Friend - Ingrid Michaelson
Itās the friends to lovers angst of it al
I keep my mouth shut tight / 'Cause I won't want to lose what's not even mine
Love You Like That - Dagny
Blair Fell Firstā¢
I know when I say it, it doesn't say enough / With you close, I'm the happiest I ever was / I tend to avoid getting emotional / I'm not shutting you out
So Long, Honey - Caamp
And thereās this feeling I get / When youāre in the room / I want you to stay
The One You Love - Passenger feat Kate Miller Heidke
Another insert because the VIBES. Something something pure & simple love etc etc
Oh, and if you find someone / That doesn't undermind you / If you find someone / That doesn't drag behind you
ivy - tswift
I wish to know / The fatal flaw that makes you long to be / Magnificently cursed / He's in the room / Your opal eyes are all I wish to see / He wants what's only yours
Strawberries - Caamp
Be my books, head on your shoulder with damn good looks
Jealous - Ingrid Michaelson
I used to be so sweet / Now I see a change coming over me
High and Low - Joshua Radin
This is technically my addition, but only bc there was already so much Radin. Iām not mad about it.
Don't you worry, now / Don't let life get you down / Just remember you're mine
Sweet Love of Mine - Joy Williams
Another insert from me. Joy Williams post-Civil Wars era is SO underrated and anyways she wrote this gorgeous love song/lullaby to her son who happens to be named Miles which is a coincidence I will milk for all it is worth.
I was broken, I was blind / Lost in a moment I thought I left behind / Then you woke up this dark soul of mine / Carrying a light I thought I'd never find
Me & My Dog - boygenius
I had a fever / Until I met you / Now you make me cool
Any of My Trouble - Sawyer Fredericks
Iāve thought this was a āDan Humphrey is a giant sapā song for quite a while but it didnāt feel right on my other playlist(s)...THIS one thoughā¦
So set my heart down in the cold / Let it freeze so I will know / How it feels to be shattered / When you go
Missing You - Ingrid Michaelson
Never, you said this had dan/nate vibes so now everytime I listen to it thatās what I thinkā¦I may just have to write a fic about it and itāll be YOUR FAULT <3
I'm in his bed again / Feeling like a stranger / When he's kissing me, I'm missing you
Hate You - Ingrid Michaelson
Okay normally 2 consecutive tracks from the same artist feels Wrong to me but here I think it works.
So much swirling up inside my head / Of what I didn't do or what I should have said
Skinny Love - Bon Iver
I tell my love to wreck it all / Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
Stay Down - boygenius
Wasn't a fighter until somebody told me / I had better learn to lean into the punch / So it don't hurt as bad when they leave / There you were, turning your cheek
Walking on a String - Matt Berninger & Phoebe Bridgers
I knew that I was dead before you touched my lonesome skin / You're never running out of ways to worm your way back in
Hey Kid - Ingrid Michaelson
This song was not one of your og Ingrid recs, but I thought it fit, so it had to go in here.
These arms and this heart / They are the only things that I have left to give
Little Giant - Roo Panes
Have the heart of a giant, but know you're a man / Start small, grow tall
By and by - Caamp
Just wish I'd spent more time / Listeninā to her speak her mind
Call It Dreaming - Iron & Wine
Say it's here where our pieces fall in place / Any rain softly kisses us on the faceā¦For all the love you've left behind / You can have mine
Today - Joshua Radin
itās got the romance AND the found family
And you are the one I've been waiting for today
Feels Like Home - Caamp
Know that I lived my whole life long / And gave all the love that I could've given
The Muse - The Wood Brothers
Included for many obvious reasons, the title of course, and the dilf!dan of it all
Times like these so sweet and so true / Thinkinās the last thing that you wanna do
This Is Why I Need You - Jesse Ruben
itās about how living is hard but this is what makes it worth it.
You are the who, love is the what, and this is the why
My My Love - Joshua Radin
a simple sweet unadorned song. the perfect finale
It's something new because of you
