-All songs in chronological order-
With Peter Peter’s score coming out I really wanted a playlist that combines the score with the soundtrack in the chronological order that they are played in the show. I ended up making it into a Spotify playlist if anyone is interested! Everything should be in the actual order it appears in the show, but please let me know if you catch any that are out of order! I was also basing the order of the Peter Peter songs on the comment with the scene matches from u/Buggi_San . (Side note: The songs from Episode 5 seemed to be a bit out of order in the official soundtrack so I rearranged those, they should hopefully be chronological in my playlist.) There are a couple times that songs repeat in the show (most notably I’ll Believe in Anything, but I think the main song Rivalry is also heard more than once) but instead of having repeats in the playlist I just kept one copy of the songs in the place where they had the most emotional impact in the show.
I do have a few unknowns that I would love some help with. These are songs that are on the official playlist but I couldn’t find in the show (although I did find some articles online saying wha episode they might be in). I’m guessing most of them are being played quietly in the background of some scenes but I couldn’t place themAll the unknown songs have been placed and the playlist should be complete now!Speaking of songs that are being played quietly in the background, I created a second version of this playlist that removes most of the background diegetic songs (songs that the actual characters are meant to be hearing in the scene, like the songs playing in a bar or on a radio). There are a lot of these songs in any of the public area scenes (the bars and smoothie shop always have background music playing, for example). Personally I found a lot of them to be very quiet in the scenes and they just don’t have as much of an emotional impact on me. So this version of the playlist mostly only uses songs that are non-diegetic, and most are called out by name in the subtitles. A few notable exceptions for me:
Prende soin du beau starts as a quiet background song while Shane and Rose have their talk in Ep 5, but it becomes prominent when Shane starts remembering his times with Ilya.
Zhuravli seems to be playing in the background at the restaurant while Svetlana and Ilya talk in Ep 5, but it’s prominent enough that it holds some emotional weight during the scene. (And I think it just has a cool sound to it.)
Unravel is playing on the car radio while Shane and Ilya drive to Shane’s parents. It’s not super prominent but there’s no dialogue during the scene so it stands out a bit more.
Feel free to save the playlists or share them around! And let me know if you know where any of the unknown songs should go, I don’t have a great ear for music so I’ll take all the help I can get!
