LIMERENCE

yeah i’m answering this a month late but HELLO ROMAN/GERRI SONGS. i have a spotify playlist for them that’s almost three hours long now so like... if you’re into that hmu, but here are some of my faves

family friend / the vaccines - this is my ultimate roman/gerri song it's just so good it has their energy and i just... god *chefs kiss* i had to start here okay. 'snake eyes disguise everybody's lies / faded nail marks on pale thighs / and an awkward secret that someone denies' GO TO THAT BOADROOM MEETING OR THAT FAMILY DINNER AND TRY AND KEEP YOUR AWKWARD SECRET, GUYS. GOOD LUCK TO YOU. 

step into my office, baby / belle and sebastian - okay i know this one is out there but i have always weirdly loved this song and wondered why until i was making this playlist and realised that everything in my life has lead to this moment. singing about awkwardly subbing for your colleague with some intense workplace imagery?? made. for. them. gerri WOULDN'T stand for any lies! (whether she has an out tray full of guys is debatable but plausible). 'i took down all she said, i even took down her little red dress' ugh! hot. ugh! look there's some fab wordplay in here just trust me. also 'she gave me some dictation but my strength is in administration' is big roman trying (and failing badly) to convince people he's a top energy and allows me to link my current favourite tumblr post here so basically thanks stuart murdoch 

make me your queen / declan mckenna - is this remarkably sincere and a little bit emotional? yes! am i going to apologise for that? no i am not!! hear me out. 'i'm in your grip from which i can't escape / and i can't help but think that i might maybe mot mean nothing to you, babe / so make me your queen' imagine this lovesick little slime puppy convinced that this isn't really a thing for gerri but then thinking maybe??? asking her to consider making it a thing kinda?? if she's into that?? 'it ain't hard to get sick of my shit, i'm asymmetrical, get over it for goodness sake'. there he goes, almost touching on his vulnerability but then NO that's not a thing stop making it a thing gerri GET OVER IT. but maybe he could still be her..... thing. idk. lots to think about, i get it, byeeeee. 

wild heart / mumford and sons - seriously, amber, is this another obscenely tender one? YES. but seriously go listen to it it's beautiful and the ANGST? THE REPRESSION? IT WILL FLOOR YOU. ‘no one is better armed to tear me down with a sleight of the tongue / and I could do the same / and see how long you can keep face’ THAT IS THEIR. WHOLE. DEAL. 'who wants a love that makes sense anyway?' god mumford and his sons know where it's at, because who DOES want a love that makes sense when we could watch a repressed worm man fall in love with his badass milf general counsel?? certainly not me!
