Spooky company

[sleepymccoy]

heyy guys! I’ve been working on this pretty seriously for about three weeks now and I think it’s done! It’s four hours long, which is insane, but I really considered every songs so have a look. I’ve got a detailed breakdown of each song and why it’s in there under the cut, but as a brief summary you go from some scene setting, to Aziraphale, to Crowley, to them breaking up, to the Apocalypse, to the Them, to Crowley and Aziraphale getting together.

There’s a real range of music. Mostly in the indie to pop to folk to rock zone. There’s no screamo or techno or anything, but there’s at least one rap verse and there’s a lullaby! Have a listen <3

Alright, some of the songs have more obvious connections to the story than others. I’m hoping they do all make sense to everyone without my additions, but I’m keen to explain some so I’m gonna go through it. I’m not gonna get too detailed on some of them, just tell you who I think they relate to. Some others I may write a bit, we’ll see

The first three songs are just place setting really. You’ve got the first rain, brought by God. The doves cry song is really beautiful and has a yearning vibe to it, some Eden references, and parental issues which is all kinds of God stuff, so I wanted it early on. I really love that song. And the Tom Waits tune! I love a bit of Tom Waits. This one’s the only one that arguably falls into the audience’s pov, but it’s also very the humans have left Eden. Everyone is just totally lost and wondering what’s gonna happen now.

The next section is Aziraphale’s, starting at Summer Wine. Fun side note about I’d Rather Be Your Enemy, that’s the first song I put in this playlist (alongside Amoreena, which I’ll explain later)! The song is about a relationship that’s broken up, but I like to listen through the lens of it’s them pre-arrangement, so Aziraphale is still pushing against Crowley’s company. 

Then we have a couple religious songs. Clemency could be about Crowley, and I think a lot of the lyrics reflect some of Aziraphale’s attitude towards Crowley, but I think it’s really about Aziraphale and his own doubt and the kind of unforgivable attitude Heaven takes towards doubt. It’s more a threat and a fear than it is a thing he’s done or is living with.

I Own You is such a baller song, it fucks me up big time. That one I encourage you to think of Gabriel’s invasive attitude with Aziraphale, he simply is never sure he’s alone. And just the fear of that, it would be horrible. Some of these lines I see as through Gabriel’s pov, others are Aziraphale’s. Killer Queen is a kinda way to cover how Aziraphale responds to that, he slides into embracing his earthy wants, playing very showy and posh as a way to make it palatable for Heaven if he can (also shout out for the only Queen song I didn’t pick a cover for instead. There would’ve just been too much Queen if I’d gone with originals). Heretic Pride is the culmination of the battle he has within when he finally starts to settle down into what he does like even though he gets shit for it all the time. 

Billy Brown is our first dedicated Aziraphale thinking about Crowley song. He’s in love and it’s tough and he’s not letting it happen. The next song is kinda how Aziraphale handles himself, he’s never going in seriously and he’s always got his escape ready. It’s a coincidence, I didn’t say anything, it’s just business, I don’t know him. I Say A Little Prayer is that strange dissonance Aziraphale has where he can be very emotionally unattached and I see this as those times when he calls Crowley a foul fiend or refers to how much better he is because he’s an angel and angels are good. 

Which Side Are You On? and I Feel A Sin Comin’ On are our segue into Crowley. It’s his first effort to convince Aziraphale to have a go at the Arrangement, he’s planting seeds and watching them flourish slowly.

Sympathy For The Devil (that song gets added points for saying every cop is a criminal) is some solo Crowley music, as is demons (what a cool tune, I love it). Amoreena has such pining Crowley vibes to me. He enjoys his time with Aziraphale so much and gets barely any of it. He’s just desperate. Goodbye Angels is similar to that, but also I think speaks to Crowley’s general loneliness. The next song taps into that a bit too, but also about how beaten Crowley is, how fucking impossible Hell must be.

Demons is Crowley starting to want to reach out to Aziraphale, but there’s a lot of self worth stuff in the way. Creep is just a big old self loathing song, it’s such an emotional song. Turn that one up, the recording is kinda quiet. 

Trash is the start of Crowley just throwing it to the wind (probs early Arrangement) and just leaning into what he wants. He’s still cool and so on, but he wants to spend time with Aziraphale and things are working now. The next song is kinda to say that even though they’re doing their best here, this is not a good fucking relationship yet. Like, it’s secret and they feel constantly guilty and they want more. They’re having a good time, but the threat and pressure from beyond is horrible. And they can’t actually be nice to each other yet! 

Where Evil Grows is the start of things improving and becoming kinder to each other. Aziraphale is starting to search Crowley out and it’s getting nice. From Eden is the same. And Lizzo! There’s hope in the air! Wishin’ And Hopin’ and even though the Apocalypse is coming Crowley asks Aziraphale to run away with him (Nightflight to Venus, Be My Husband) and it goes fucking horribly. 

When I Was Your Man through to Nobody are the breakup songs. 

London’s Burning is the bookshop. I realise it’s a lullaby, but it’s really nice.

when the party’s over and Tired as Fuck are Aziraphale and Crowley both immediately post the bookshop burning when they’re just in shock and grief.

The Man Comes Around is the kick off of the Apocalypse in earnest. The Show Must Go On is for everyone getting to the airbase to fix things.

Then we have a couple Horseman and Devil songs to really set the tone for the enemy. I love the God Rest Ye Merry Horseman so much, it’s just so funny

Lethal Combination is for the kids more than anyone else. On ya Adam. The next four songs are Adam’s struggle with how he’s going to use his powers. Then Wake Me Up is sorta the tip from anyone else having any say as the Them just get to work and fix everything.

Youth Of Today through to Trouble are for the Them, there’s a lot of Pepper and Adam in there. There’s a lot of power, team work, and environmental justice. It caps off with We’re All Gonna Die Someday, which is a fairly cheerful view on how miserable life on Earth is but that that’s kind of okay, and it’s worth celebrating

Walk Unafraid and Too Much Time are the shift in dynamic for Crowley and Aziraphale as they succeed against their bosses and find their freedom. 

Then it’s the romantic songs! It starts polite and nervous, gets kinda steamy then turns to comforting sorta love (with a reprise of Be Your Husband that’s a bit more cheerful) and domestic. I spent so long picking the last song, but I’m really happy with it. It’s so calm and content.
