~ carolmaria playlist ~

so this playlist is only songs from the 80s since tht was the primetime of their relationship but im also making other playlists. my idea for this is basically all the songs describe their relationship but also are music carol and maria would listen to. it’s based off the popular headcanon tht they were in a relationship before carol crashed but also my personal headcanon tht they decided to have a child together through artificial semination and there was NO MAN INVOLVED romantically or sexually in maria’s life :) enjoy!

im gonna write descriptions of each song’s placement but if you don’t wanna read them here’s the links ->

yearning for your love - the gap band

this is about tht good mutual pining bby!! before they told each other about their feelings

time will reveal - debarge

them both hoping tht, as times moves on, the other will realize how in love they are

for your eyes only - sheena easton

in the official prequel book set during maria and carol’s time in the a*r f*rce academy, carol and maria discuss how much they understand each other b/c they’re so similar and how neither of them have ever met someone else who they could be their true self around so this song is about those moments of them being able to open up to one another and be vulnerable with each other

the woman in me - heart

going off the energy of the previous soing, about how at-home they feel with one another along with mutual! pining! and their desire thts about to burst out

kiss me deadly - lita ford

i mean..we all knw why this is on here. it just captures their essence perfectly when they hang out and sing karaoke and shit

the way you dance - the go-go’s

maria and carol go out for drinks and maria gets up to dance to some song she rlly likes. carol watches and tries not to stare too much but she’s a goner with the way maria is moving. maria eventually feels carol’s eyes on her so she amps it up a bit to pull carol further into a trance until carol finally gets up to dance with her

walking on sunshine - katrina & the waves

after they’ve told each other about their feelings and the extreme bliss they experience in the period afterwards. i feel like this song could also go later on the playlist after carol’s return but i put it here b/c these lyrics go well with the period of time tht they’re in a relationship but not living together yet

secret love - joan jett & the blackhearts

i feel like this perfectly describes their situation of not being able to let anyone knw about their relationship due to issues like worrying about being kicked out of the a*r f*rce and safety concerns with it being the 80s. just ignore the “but im with him and you’re with her” line lol

every little step - bobby brown

my heart bursts thinkin about how domestic maria and carol were in captain marvel so my fluff-loving gay mind imagined a scene to go along with this sdkjfdlk okay so picture: they’re in a bar after maria tells carol she wants a child and to show her support and dedication, carol gets up in front of everyone and sings this song to maria

you - gladys knight & the pips

how maria feels about carol’s personality and demeanor

your love is king - sade

any time i get to put my fave sade song on a playlist im happy! this song perfectly encapsulates their love

don’t disturb this groove - the system

they fuckin! 

the sweetest taboo - sade

plain and simple. about how carol slangs tht STRAP! but if we go deeper, also about how maria sees carol as a force tht came into her life and made it bttr. the prequel book about their time in the a*r f*rce academy says as much

never too much - luther vandross

about how joyfully in love they are. i imagine around this time they’ve already had monica

outstanding - the gap band

my fave gap band song! another song about how in love they are, specifically from carol’s point of view

pictures of you - the cure

there’s a post on here talking bout how maria must have spent many nights explaining the stories behind the pics in the box of carol’s stuff to monica, as if they were bedtime stories, in order for monica to know those stories front-to-back when showing the pics to carol after her return. so.. britney_yeah.gif.. this song is about tht and maria looking at the pics by herself :’(

tell me if you still care - the s.o.s. band

from maria’s point of view after carol’s return. she’s wondering if carol remembers their relationship. carol feels a deep connection to maria but doesn’t fully understand what it is and maria is a little frustrated but she understands tht it’s not carol’s fault

sweet love - anita baker

in those moments before carol flies off to be a deadbeat dad when maria is fighting the urge to tell carol about their whole history and on the edge of begging carol to stay with her family. like in the scene where they’re all sitting at the dinner table after the battle and those Looks maria gives carol, this song is what she was feeling

the flame - cheap trick

after carol leaves to help the skrulls and since i refuse to believe tht carol didn’t give maria some type of communication device like she did with fury, i imagine this song to be about whenever maria feels especially lonely and calls carol so they can video chat. maria promises carol tht she’ll always be there for her and tries to help her trigger some memories

forget me nots - patrice rushen

maria praying tht her wife not completely forget her and monica forever and instead remember and fly back from space to them

ain’t nobody - chaka khan

after carol has finally gained some memories back about their relationship and returns to earth for a few months out of the year to fully restore their connection. carol is enamored with maria and how quickly and easily it was for her to fall back in love with maria again and she is upset tht she missed out on feeling this love and tht she can’t remember most of it. also about how happy maria is tht she has her wife back

come back - luther vandross

about how maria feels during the times carol is off-planet. she just wants carol home permanently b/c she misses her so much and wants to get their life back to normal

right here waiting - richard marx

more about the angst and pain tht maria feels when carol is off-planet. maria is not the type to just sit around and be gloomy and somber all the time but she’s promises carol tht there will always be a place in her heart for her

wish you were here - fleetwood mac

as she remembers more and more memories, carol is lonely on whatever planet she’s on and wishes maria was there to hold her in her arms

time after time - cyndi lauper

during her adventures in space carol is trying to remember more about her and maria’s relationship before the crash while maria hopes she’s okay and safe wherever she is

wait for me - joan jett & the blackhearts

carol worries tht her off-world trips will tire out maria too much (which they do) to the point where she ends their relationship so she reaffirms their love and begs maria to trust in it

the one i love - r.e.m.

i imagined up a lil scene to go along with this song as well. so picture: carol is at some space bar tht has a stage where random ppl can go up and perform if they want to so she gets up there with her guitar and emotionally covers this song while thinking of maria and monica
