RYU!!! MY BOO! <3 My Elphie! You said to send you songs that remind me of selfship. I got 3 songs.

For when you're starting to get to know them: There Goes the Fear by Doves. I think this song captures the scary parts of doing new things, and I think relationships at the start are scary, no matter how happy and smitten you are with the person. It's how I felt with Loid.

Next, My Love by the Bird and the Bee. I've known this song since I was in high school (2008/2009 bb!). This the kind of love song where you know you're in love with that so and so. I'm not afraid of all the reasons we shouldn't even try

Lastly, Unforgettable by Nat King Cole. This was the first dance and it has the word "forever" in it, which was scary at first. Though, it's so romantic, and I can't describe it more.

did you just call me your elphie hic sniffle 🥹 my galinda girl 👑💖 how i cherish you!

i listened to these and omfg stephy you always have the best songs!!!! ‘my love’ feels so fun and youthful. it reminds me of one my favourite songs which i’ll talk about at another time 👁️

and the other two songs are so romantic!!! i love keeping up with you and loid, you both feel so timeless and elegant :(

i’ll also be adding La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf on there in honour of Lophie if you don’t mind because that’ll always be a Lophie song to me 💖

tell me a selfship song and i’ll add it to my playlist

@soarae​​ asked: a tiny soul has since been put to bed. her hands busied with dishes from a dinner for three, heart swelling at feeling included in his life so personally. she doesn’t realize the smile tugging at the corners of her lips; bright && full of life. warmth ever present as it should be. but all at once, whatever thought process is cut short by a song beginning to play. it’s something she’s heard maybe once from a family reunion. handpicked but her late grandfather && were she uncultured she might’ve teased him. but music means so much to her, echoing through her bones; she hums along to the melody. never mind the hands that guide her away from her task. handsome features coming into view && causing her eyes to light up with delight. be it then that her hand falls into his, opposite reserving itself to the junction of shoulder && the column of his throat. && it leads into their steps amidst song. giving way to the love assimilating in her gaze for this man. manifesting as the way she tiptoes just enough to find his lips with her own && she practically swoons. having never felt so complete before him. && it brings an old tune just the same within her mind. echoing across lovestruck existence. so this is love? /for Tyrus. 🥰

  oh how wonderful his life had become. it seems so sudden that this woman, this amazing woman, had waltzed her way into his world & he would be remiss to push her away. so he didn’t, she broke down his walls with such ease he was impressed & scared all at once. but seeing how they’d fallen into this picture-esk domesticity he couldn’t help but feel... just so... content.

  a glance to her in the kitchen before making his way to the record player in the living room. it was an old fashioned love he had for, matched well by his record collection but it matched him well. so he leaves through the covers for a moment, but he chooses quickly, a gentle drop of the needle to vinyl before he finds himself in the kitchen, arms snaking around her waist & a gentle pull to draw her from the sink. ❝ come querida... the dishes won’t go anywhere, ❞ spoken softly into her ear until she turns to face him & her hand falls so perfectly into his own.

   the music rings out softly so as not to wake delilah in her still light sleep. but the lyrics are clear as day. it starts with a hum, his voice low, pulling her closer until there’s barely an inch between them. a gentle sway as he starts to sing softly along in a private serenade. 

    ❝ unforgettable... in every way. ❞ cheek to cheek he wonders if she could feel his smile.  ❝ & forever more, that's how you'll stay. ❞ a pull away to spin her half way, warms around her waist again as he sways her from behind for a few seconds, even sneaking in a kiss to her neck in the process. ❝ that's why, darling, it's incredible. ❞ a slow spin back to his face, as he leans towards a kiss but holding back just enough to tease. ❝ that someone so unforgettable, thinks that I am unforgettable too. ❞ his smile widens again, just in time to kiss her properly. a silent ❛ i love you ❜ coming through his touch as he holds her tight ( with one kiss turning into a few more as the song continues to play out ). 

    ❝ dessert tastes sweeter from your lips, what a wonder you are, ❞ he compliments with a smile. ❝ you know... ❞ he trails off, lips wandering to kiss along her neck. ❝ it’d be a shame...  ❞ a finger reaching to move a lock of hair from his path. ❝ not to listen... ❞ his other hand sliding down from her waist to her hip. ❝ to another song or two... ❞ ( though the implication of what to do was dubious at best ). ❝ so what’ll it be, your wish is my command. ❞

YES! omg. okay so there’s different types of jazz. i personally really like old timey jazz. like from the 50-60s (it’s like very chill and smooth. kinda like the stuff you hear playing in movies during all those fancy scenes).

my personal favourites are (in no particular order but i’ll go from slow -> fast in case u don’t like slow songs)

— again - doris day

— unforgettable - nat king cole

— a sunday kind of love - etta james

— dream a little dream of me - ella fitzgerald (literally MY FAVOURITE!! her voice is so pretty i love her so much)

— fly me to the moon (heheh everyone’s heard this) - sinatra

— cheek to cheek - louis armstrong

— it’s only a paper moon - ella fitzgerald (i think this is probably my favourite jazz song)

— new york, new york - frank sinatra

— solid as a rock - ella fitzgerald

then there’s instrumental jazz (i personally love playing this when i wanna study)

— la mer - django reinhardt

— the queen bee - count basie

— nuages (ft. michael paul gurulé) - Nuages (on their pure imagination album. the whole album is really good)

heheh these are mainly just old songs. there’s modern jazz too if you want some suggestions for those! but yeah a good intro to jazz is frank sinatra, ella fitzgerald, etta james and nat king cole.

and then you can move on to louis armstrong, billie holiday, doris day, etc (i feel like people who aren’t into jazz might not be able to get into a lot of their songs right away. you gotta get into the groove. but they’re AMAZING. billie holiday in particular just transports you to some tiny cafe at the corner of a parisian street on a rainy afternoon)

also thank you for writing out my request!! i haven’t read it yet ahahhahaha i saw you asked for recs i was like OMG RIGHT AWAY!! 😂😂 i’m sure it’s great though!

OK, IM READY! Different ✍🏽 types ✍🏽 of ✍🏽 jazz ✍🏽. Ooh, I see. Maybe I’ve heard it but didn’t even register that it was jazz.

I’m gonna have to check all these out soon and update you soon! Thanks for the variety/options and that was a nice order to choose since I actually seem to,, not prefer slow songs, I guess. It’s not that I don’t like them, it’s just, sometimes they have to grow on me (for some reason). But I still give anything a chance and can’t wait to hear these.

Thanks for taking the time to give me all this info! I’ve taken plenty of notes and would love some modern jazz suggestions if you want to/don’t mind! 🥺

(this is a late reply, sry about that) Of course! I was a little nervous about how to include the two prompts together. But thanks for the challenge, I hoped it turned out well <3
