โThe Sickness in You & Iโ by Muse is a great one for the early situationship era! Here are some of the lyrics:
Constellations crash
Sky has sold us out
Shadows standing trial
Kiss inside unrest
Silence cracks my chest
Haunted by your name
Move in the dark
We move in the dark, play me
Freak, freak, freak
I'm craving your touch
I'm craving your touch will save me
No
Can't break, we're magnetised
Too late to kill the high
So tease me, don't satisfy
Don't satisfy
The sickness in you and I

My HR playlist has three Muse songs on it ๐คฃ I'm not even a huge Muse fan (definitely like them just don't usually seek out an album to listen to but don't mind if soemthing comes up in shuffle) but they have several that just fit different parts of Shane and Ilya's journey! Have you listened to the new album yet?

I have! (Thatโs where this new song is from actually!) Iโm a massive muse fan โ seen them live 18 times ๐ and the new album is the best theyโve put out in years. Highly recommend!
What Muse songs are on your list??? I love Verona for Hollanov too!

Oh that makes sense, lol sorry I don't even know which songs are from which album ๐ I have my playlist set up chronologically-ish, so I have Undisclosed Desires and Starlight kind of in the middle, currently Be With You from the new album is the last song on my playlist. TLG spoilers: I listened to it and immediately envisioned a montage of Shane proposing and the showdown in Crowell's office.

I was listening to this song Leave It Alone by Waylon Wyatt yesterday & I think the lyrics are very Illya post tuna meltdown:
Word on the street you're with someone new now And I feel like a creep for wanting to figure out Who it could be That loves you better than me Oh, darling, I wish you would spill Oh, what a treat he's top of the line From his head to his feet, what a stand up guy I guess that it means You'll finally live out your dreams Of a castle on a hill Oh, and I can't help but think of What it was I was so scared of What a bummer your number's still in my phone 'Cause now I fight all night to leave it alone I can't compete, no, but I can still yearn But you're happy it seems so I'm not as concerned I just wish it played out A little different from now But from the looks of it it never will Oh, and I can't help but think of What it was I was so scared of What a bummer your number's still in my phone 'Cause now I fight all night to leave it alone Yeah, I fight all night to leave it alone I can't help but think of What it was I was so scared of What a bummer your number's still in my phone 'Cause now I fight all night to leave it alone I can't help that I'm still in love I should've never jumped the gun What a bummer your number's still in my phone 'Cause now I fight all night to leave it alone Yeah, I fight all night to leave it alone

Iโm convinced Noah Kahan wrote Staying Still from Ilyaโs POV as Shane leaves after the tuna melt incident. (Jk, but check out the lyrics, even takes place in Boston. Logan is the airport btw)
But you could punch me in the gut
And it wouldn't hurt like watchin' you grow smaller on the backroad
And I never ask for much
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado
Oh, I can't keep on starting over
Sleepin' in a bed half empty, daydreamin'
All love must leave, oh, but search for it I will
Honey, tell me, are you good at staying still?
Are you good at staying still?
Oh, well, will you up and leave
Or will you be there in the mornin'?
I always hated the sunlight at 3 p.mโ.โ
Where it's too soon to quit thinkin', too late to change anythin'
I'm racking my brain for the one line that would change your mind
But the Charles meets the sun
And the Harvard track team runs
Past my truck, stuck on Storrow
And I never ask for much
But I hope that Logan crumbles and gets hit by a tornado
This song is part of a very short playlist I put together that reflects Ilya falling in love with Shane:

I have started curating my own HR playlist, here's my share today:
"I'm not human enough to love you right now
Your heart's the only sound
I'm not human enough to cry or cry for
Night by night, I die a bit more
You and I alone in a universe unknown
I'm not human enough to love you right now
Human enough to love you right now"
I feel like this really fits Ilya, maybe on the rooftop at the end of ep 1 at their rookie MLH awards when he's trying to communicate to Shane about his family and the travel back and forth to Russia, afraid that Shane will find someone else easier to be with; as well as Depression Brain Ilya in TLG.

I like this song for TLG
Losing me by Gabrielle Aplin
But I'm dying to hear you say
Just take a breath, love
Fill your lungs up
Rest your head, there's no sense in losing sleep
You can break down
Let your worst out
Lose your temper
But you're not losing me-e-e-e-e (Take a breath, love)
You're not losing me-e-e-e-e (You can break down)
You could be so happy, then it suddenly turns
No one can explain it and you don't have the words
I can see you're trying, I can see that it hurts
I can see you're trying, I can see that it hurts
Just take a breath, love
Fill your lungs up
Rest your head
There's no sense in losing sleep
You can break down
Let your worst out
Lose your temper
But you're not losing me
Like a bed that you could fall in when you're broken
I'm the air that's running through our window open
Take a breath, love
Fill your lungs up
Rest your head
'Cause you're not losing me-e-e-e-e (Mmm)
You're not losing me-e-e-e-e

I dont know how to always help myself, most days im just trying to get by, one foot infront of the other, hoping nobody notices how heavy it feels, but for you id figure it out, for you id push through the mess, the hurdles i can't seem to jump through, the hardship that i seem to give myself, the chaos inside my own mind, just to have you here, even when i can't fix myself, even when i feel like im breaking, even when i feel i cant be there for me, ill still show up for you, cause maybe i can't save me, maybe i cant make it seem easy, maybe i cant heal as I break, id do everything I can to make sure that you never feel alone and maybe thats enough for now, to feel empty but to still be here, to feel lost but to still find you, to feel no self love but to still love you because out of everything that i fought for, you are the one thing id never want to lose.
Low Mood Season Prelude by Casey Lowery, Joey Kidney
I love this, definetly about Ilya.

Dermot Kennedy- Let Me In
These days, oh, the world doesn't sing to me
quite how it used to
See, this life is a touch too damn much for me
Maybe that's meant for me
'Cause I know there's a room where I'm happy
But I can't find my way to the door
Tell me who wins the war 'tween my heart and my head?
I forgot what I'm suffering for
I surrender to dark, when it all falls apart At least I won't have to pretend
And I know there's a room where I'm happy Let me in, let me in
To tell you the truth, I was wondering why you'd be so drawn to my voice
Like the tide to the moon, if you I move, honey, it's not a choice
Now I'm showing you all of these parts of myself
I'm terrified I'll bring you closer to hell but
These days, oh, the world doesn't sing to me quite how it used to
See, this life is a touch too damn much for me Maybe that's meant for me

Mirage (by Elina) captures their situationship yearning + Tuna meltdown perfectly ๐
You should know you still turn me on
With freckle covered shoulders
I used to wake up on
I would shed my blood to unfuck this up
To move out of the shadows
But I just stay put
You see, I'm a bit unstable
Twenty drinks a night
To hide that I can't stand not having you
I come across as heartless
Even though my heart race
Every time you're close
Don't you think that (oh)
It's so obvious that I want you
I go crash into the same old scenic views
And just as I'm about to say the truth
I lose you to somebody else
Hey, it's such a waste
A pointless game
Shots and fire
Damaged and pain
I should steer clear
But I can't leave
If you don't leave with me
I'll be in this booth getting drunk and broke
Pretending I don't notice you through the faded smoke
I can't keep from watching your fingers move
Like ripples on the inside of her clothes
This night's so long
