PLAYLIST + SHIVRA

also; notes (inspired by what the cr cast do on their playlists)

Past Lives - BØRNS

Due to their belief in the luxon, Shivra admires the idea of past lives intertwining with present and future lives. They have a strong belief in destiny

Last Words Of A Shooting Star - Mitski

They didn't know him for long, however, I imagine Bertrand’s death was surprising to them. They were ready to warm up to him and saw him as a replacement for their old boss. So when he died… They were kind of in shock

Heels - Sir Babygirl

There was always going to be a point where they ran. Either from the Laughter or from themselves. For someone who keeps ending up in criminal circles, they're a master at burning bridges

Soldier, Poet, King - The Oh Hellos

The bardic anthem. I'm imaging them singing this with the party around a campfire

I Want You - Savage Garden

80s synth pop was a surprisingly large influence on Shivra and their design. Australian band Savage Garden indirectly influenced a lot of that aspect of them

If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You - The Wombats

They may claim to only be doing this for coin, but secretly they're very lonely...

Run Away With Me - Carly Rae Jepsen

Friends were hard to find in the circles Shivra ran in, so the second they found someone who cared about them instead of what they could provide… They got attached

Mirrorball - Taylor Swift

Expected to be so many different things to different people, reflecting off those who come close. How miserable must that be?

Party Tattoos - Dodie

Shivra's more an attacker than a healer, and I imagine they view each scar or bruise as a story. After all, what fun is there without a story to tell?

Fake It - Bastille

Half of these songs are becoming “Shivra’s new to friends and is kind of in shock about the whole thing” but this song is dedicated to their platonic soulmate Ashton - them both sharing scars and having conversations about their pasts probably made up a lot of their time before meeting the rest of the party

Smile - Lily Allen

Another obligatory middle finger to their old boss…

Wonderwall - Oasis

And a tune dedicated once more to the man that brought them together. Shivra really owed a lot to Bertrand, they just didn't show it to his face. They weren't as hurt by his death as Dorian or Imogen, especially considering they only knew him for 2 days, but there's a reason Shivra collected the Gambler's Blade
