Title: DEPRESSED! (I'M NOT I TAKE MY MEDS)
Medium: Playlist/fanmix
Fandom: NBC Stumble
Length: 8 songs
Summary:
A too-serious-for-this-show fanmix for Sally, with strong hints of Sally/Courteney. Tracklist / thoughts under cut. Also, first fanwork for this fandom!
Listen here.
1) HOES DEPRESSED - LEFT CHEERLEADER REMIX | THOT SQUAD
Hoes depressed
I'm not, I take my meds
Bitch, get a grippy sock vacation
Call the lady, got a situation
Mostly the cheerleading theme of course, but also.. Sally's life really sucks but she remains so positive despite it all..
2) RUNNING BEHIND | HOLYCHILD
Where can I leave my father's ride?
Wake me up when the voices die
Do me like you might know my mind
Carry me to the other side
Running, running, running, running behind yeah
I'm always really running behind, oh
Sally is always always running behind and at a disadvantage. Courteney takes her in when she's living in her car, tries to understand her, to carry her.
3) HEARTSIGH | PURITY RING
I'll sing before you lie down, down
And push your sleep along
I'll build a house around you
I'll whisk away your heartsigh
And bury it in mine
Courteney cares for her so much, man.
4) LIFE ITSELF | GLASS ANIMALS
I take her money but not quite enough
I sit in the car and I listen to static
Gotta get back, gotta get free
Cut back down to my knees
Lean back now, lean back and breathe
I'm wakin' up lost in boxes outside Tesco
"This one actually started off as a dark, slow, moody track. Quite insular. But eventually we realized there was a cheekiness to the lyrics that we hadn’t really explored, so we injected a sense of optimism into the music." From the song's Genius page. And I feel like that encompasses Sally well.
5) LOST KITTEN | METRIC
Don't say yes if you can't say no
Victim of the system, say it isn't so
Squatted on the doorstep, swollen on the blow
Leaving without you, can't say no
Halfway starts with happiness for me
Lost kitten in the street
You've got my eyes, you've got my eyes
You'll never be mine, ah, but you've got my eyes
Because of course, and because "you've got my eyes, you'll never be mine but you got my eyes" captures the vision I have of Courteney/Sally---maternal with something more.
6) DISPARATE YOUTH | SANTIGOLD
Don't look ahead, there's stormy weather
Another roadblock in our way
But if we go, we go together
Our hands are tied here if we stay
Oh, we said our dreams will carry us
And if they don't fly, we will run
Now we push right past to find out
Oh, how to win what they all lost
We know now we want more
A life worth fighting for
Because I think cheer could give her a sense of real purpose.
7) FML | K.Flay
I need to stop
I been doing too much, I been running too fast, I been testing my luck
I been living cloud nine, I been at it all night, I been feeling so loved
I been waking up lit, I been making up shit, I been spilling my guts
I been feeling so blessed
But stressed all day, so what?
8) BRUISES | CHAIRLIFT
I tried to do handstands for you
I tried to do headstands for you
Everytime I fell on you, yeah
Everytime I fell
I tried to do handstands for you
But everytime I fell for you
I'm permanently black and blue
Permanently blue for you
She's not that great at cheerleading at first! (We're taking the lyrics of this song, the handstands and bruises, literally here). But because of Courteney's help, guidance and support she becomes better and finds her feet.
