#st music playlists

[chirpsythismorning]

If you’re looking for something to do during hiatus, I highly reccomend making a playlist of songs that could feature in s5.

I did this to prepare for s4 back in 2021 and a couple of the songs did actually end up featuring in that season.

So while this can just be for fun, it can also be a method of theorizing what’s yet to come for the final season, specifically the music. And we all know how important of a role music plays in Stranger Things, so there’s a lot of potential for predicting at least some details of the final season.

For my playlist, I decided songs pre-1986 are obviously an option. However, it would be quite difficult to narrow down what could feature in ST5 when it comes to music released all the years previous to the setting, since the options are kind of endless. And so although there are some older songs that are obvious contenders, the main focus of my playlist thus far has been songs from 1986-88 (making room for a potential 1-2 year time jump).

My guess is that MAYBE at least one song from this playlist could end up featuring in s5, and even that is maybe wishful thinking. But I did get lucky last time, so who knows!

PS: I will say that in my search for songs this time around, it’s been a little overwhelming. Seriously, no exaggeration, 99% of the songs are cheesy and include the word heart and sleepless nights and assumed unrequited love. Now I think I know where Will got inspiration for his monologue in the van, seeing as literally all the music surrounding them in that era sounds exactly like that 😭😭😭

Random thought- the two songs sung in ST3, "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Neverending Story", both feature "turn around" in their lyrics.

May not mean anything, but I thought it was neat!

do you ever look at a character and know immediately and irrevocably that you want to write them w the kink

Thinking about the opening make-out scene for Mike and El in season 3 and the use of the song "Never Surrender" as it pairs with songs from Mike's playlist about their relationship. (Never Surrender in bold, playlist songs in italics)

"Just a little more time is all we're asking for" "When love breaks down, the things you do to stop the truth from hurting you - the lies we tell, they only serve to fool ourselves"

"So if you're lost and on your own" (aligning perfectly in the playlist timeline) "So you tell yourself 'I have nowhere to go. I don't know what to do'"

"You can never surrender" "It's my life, don't you forget"

I love having a playlist with all the musicals I like listening to on it! It means when I put it on shuffle I can go from listening to a dead girl lamenting that she doesn’t know who she is, to listening to a drunk Greek goddess, to listening to Russians singing about communism and rumors, all back to back-

When Spotify bring back all their playlists for the characters, and there's a new playlist for Henry Creel, forcing people to accept he's not just a black and white villain with no depth... What then?

Is it sad that I'm more excited for what songs they're going to use in S5 than like, anything else?

[gayofthefae]

No bc literally the only proof I need that Will's plot with Mike was all planned including angst and everything is that they made "his song" Should I Stay or Should I Go

"Oh yeah Will likes the beat" yeah WILL does. The DUFFERS like the LYRICS

which, if you don't have 3 minutes 9 seconds, are just "hey you've been acting weird and giving me mixed signals, is our relationship over?"
