I'm through the first 5 episodes of Season 1 of "Thirteen Reasons Why" and I absolutely love it so far. I love the characters, the actors and the music. The music is great, it's a mix of old songs, new songs and new mixes of old songs. Like the show itself, many of the songs are moody. The songs capture all the highs and lows of being a teenager.
Season 1 has classics from The Cure, The Alarm, Echo and the Bunnymen and Neil Young. For this blog I have to focus mostly on older songs, newer songs don't really make me stand up and take notice. There are a lot of great new songs, but those are the songs that are a bit off the radar. Thus they are harder to find. Many of the very popular songs now are pretty disposable.
Here's the official trailer:
Here are a few of my favorite songs from Season 1:
The Chromatics "Into The Black":
I'm so very surprised that I have a Selena Gomez song on any blog of mine. But credit must be given with her amazing cover of the Yaz classic. "Only You":
Lord Huron "The Night We Met":
Suggested songs for Season Two. Many of the following songs are moody and capture that teen feeling so well. But some of these songs are a little bit more angry and maybe don't fit into "The 13 Reasons Why" universe.
twenty one pilots "Stressed Out":
Fiona Apple "Across The Universe":
Natalie Imbruglia "Torn":
Lady Gaga "Angel Down":
ZZ Ward "Put The Gun Down":
Mazzy Star "Fade Into You":
Metallica "Unforgiven":
Nothing More "Here's To The Heartbreak":
R.E.M. "It's The End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)":
Five For Fighting "Superman (It's Not Easy)":
Chris Deburgh "Lady In Red":
Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill":
Sara Bareilles "Love Song":
