Sander Sides as Evermore songs
Sooooooooo, I did this for K-12 by Melanie Martinez a while ago, so:
1st - I wanted to try it again
2nd - This is a very different album, with different energy and different things to say and the sides have grown a bit, so perhaps this will be more like how they are now? I don't really know
3rd - I'd like to try and give some explanation this time, they'll be under the person's name, so if this is annoying, I apologize
Logan (About either Roman or Janus) or Janus
It feels like, to me, a very pragmatic person who lets themselves be allowed to be more whimsical, not shipping, but if you do, it's fine
Roman is a romantic, and the song feels like a romantic who realized that this wasn't for them. Virgil feels like he, at least in my opinion, would center the problem around himself and be almost apologetic for saying no, which is what the song makes me think of
(As A Romantic) or (As a brother looking in on Roman, not as a ship, but as a kind of fantastical jealousy and loss, but that may be a bit fanspeculation-esque)
IDK why, just gives me those vibes. Like he, as a character, would just let someone have him there for a while, knowing he is going to leave it all behind, but I have no clue why it feels like it fits Janus most
I feel like Patton is the only one who could love so fiercely as this song portrays, in my opinion. Maybe Janus as well, but only because he is the mirror to Patton
No Body, No Crime (ft. HAIM)
This song is very calculated and the story is so straightforward and I feel like if it was Logan who experienced this, this would be his song. (Bonus: Full Cast: Logan is Taylor, Patton is Este, Janus is Este's sister, Remus is the Huband (I know) and since I don't want to make Roman the mistress of his brother, Virgil is the Mistress, although I don't think it fits him at all)
I guess this is a bit of a copout, but I think Patton would do the best at reflecting on his feelings and that he would be the best at accepting the situation and look forward to the new him, but still understand that this will forever be a chapter in his life; A happy chapter, but one that must now end
Virgil (Perhaps about Roman)
I feel like Virgil would prefer to stay in a small town more than any of the others and he would probably say that "It's never too late, To come back to my side" because, at least in my mind, if you haven't hurt him, Virgil would always take you back. Also, you know Roman has always seemed to want to be a star, so that's why it feels fitting that the song would "be about" Roman
Coney Island (ft. The National)
Virgil or Patton and Roman or Logan
Virgil or Patton is the emotional and wondering Taylor whereas Roman or Logan are the questioning The National perspective. There was clearly a split and I think all four of them could be about each other. Virgil and Logan, Patton and Roman, Virgil and Roman, Patton and Logan
Remus or Janus (Or Roman)
This song is about a cheating person, who is singing about their affair and I feel like Remus or Janus are really the only ones that I can imagine cheating. I can also kind of imagine Roman having an affair of the heart, but not as much as Janus and Remus
This song is essentially a song about 2 liars and it's a bit cute in my mind that Janus, the liar with good intent has a little love story with another of his kind
I feel like the story of finding the right one and wanting to defend that, especially after multiple bad relationships, fits both of these boys. I really like the fairytale sprinkles and also feel like these fits them both, Roman more so
This song is very emotional and I feel like the small "Never be so kind, you forget to be clever - Never be so clever, you forget to be kind" and "Never be so polite, you forget your power - Never wield such power, you forget to be polite" feels like something Patton would pass on.
I lost my grandfather not that long ago and he was nothing like Taylor's grandmother from the little I know of her, but this song still breaks my heart a bit and I think that affects my way of seeing this song as a sort of legacy song - For all, you have lost and who you now are because you had them, for however long you did
Patton (About Logan) or Virgil (About Janus) or Janus (About Virgil)
Patton is because Logan doesn't understand (Or at least didn't understand) Patton's need to process.
Virgil and Janus are two sides of the same story; When Virgil because a light side, it must have changed everything behind the scene.
Virgil may have felt like Janus was trying to "smooth him over" to make him either on their side or not, this could have created hostility.
Janus may have felt like Virgil was trying to "smooth him over" by never talking about, hinting at, or acknowledge his roots as a dark side
I specifically feel like the line(s) "I had a feeling so peculiar - That this pain would(n't) be for - Evermore" sounds like Logan
I just feel like Virgil fits the vibes of the song, especially since he represents, before everything else, Thomas' social anxiety
Virgil (With the Roman and Logan as verses)
What I think when hearing this song is that the first vers feels like Roman (the dinner), the second feels like Logan (The work), the verses feel like Virgil with the message of something the "cowardly" thing to do is the right thing to do and the last verse (About the thrown of bones) also feels like it resonates with Virgil - Again, in my own opinion
Please do remember that I am basically practicing. I am not very good at relation emotions and this is one of my ways of practicing and I wanted to share it because it's fun :)
