"Marathon" by Doomtree For a certain measure of "a little to the left" anyway-- this one feels feels less like Greed alone and more about the whole Devil's Nest crew and how they collectively also form Greed's character. Individual stanzas/lyrics feel like they're coming from Martel or Dolcetto or Roa, and
"The Rifle's Spiral" by The Shins. I think the actual meaning of this song is about religious radicalization and terrorism??? BUT. I have misinterpreted all the lyrics to be about Heather/Alessa escaping the Order after being forced into godhood, changing forms to survive, only to return as their downfall.
"Little Fang" by Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks This song IS on my canon Wrath playlist but it's a very funky charming and positive little tune that makes me think about like... if Wrath joined the Homunculi but they WEREN'T a tiny brainwashed cult lmfao. In a kinder world they could have been the supportive family
These are actually BOTH kind of vibesy songs but Cheryl is very vibes in general since we get so little about her compared to Alessa before they reintegrate.
"Pilgrim Snow" from the Wolf's Rain OST. For a long time I was very dedicated to finding at least one instrumental or ambient piece to stick on each character playlist and this has been Cheryl's for pretty much ever, the Wolf's Rain OST is so versatile and the sweet and innocent mood for this combined with
the signature snow present in SH1 and literally nowhere else in the series (unless you count SHSM I guess but that kind of tracks) just hit right for her!!!
"I Know the End" by Phoebe Bridgers I have soooo many 'could be the first song in the playlist'-level Heather songs but this is the current/most recent reigning one, both the feel and the lyrics are just SO her it's like GODDAMN... the liminal feelings and simultaneous reluctance/longing towards having a home, connections...
"Killed the Lord, Left for a New World" by This Will Destroy You AND RELATED TO THAT LAST ONE, one of the odder "vibes only" songs in my Heather pile, this one really struck me for a sense of peace for post-ending Heather. The title kind of says it all. It's not as punchy or rough-around-the-edges-sounding as most of my
«Wᴀɴᴅᴇʀᴇʀ»
: SHAKING UR HAND god isn't it a really good song?? I MISS STOCKE AND HEATHER'S FRIENDSHIP SO MUCH, I wish she'd learned more about him in the time we were both in Ryslig!!! They have a lot in common!!
"Shall Rise" by Addiction Crew This is like, the one song that I keep leaving on her playlist even though the lyrics donnnn't quuuuuuuuuuuuite do it for her unless I really reach for them? But the vibe fits and I listened to it a LOT when I was first starting to play/write her so it just feels like HER lmao.
