Before I list songs, here’s my quick reasoning: Eric would so listen to classic emo songs as well as newer cheesy emo music. Like, Ice Nine Kills? Fuck yeah. The Used? Oh he’s headbanging to Pretty Handsome Awkward. Fall Out Boy? If anyone finds out he enjoys them… oh he’ll murder them. But he has a soft spot for the classics. Like, classic rock. He’d originally find songs from his dad or from Supernatural. Weird but he did dress like Dean Winchester in middle school for Halloween. He's always a fan of classic pop ballads. Total Eclipse of the Heart? He’s crying in his room. So when it comes time to make a playlist for you he’s on it. He already started making the playlist after the first date. Mainly so he could slip some songs on when making out or driving somewhere.

Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy. “Why don't you show me a little bit of spine. You've been saving for his mattress, love.” I’m telling you, Erik goes feral when this song comes on. You think it’s cheesy but he loves it. Even does the heart hand thing from the music video. You’re making out and he’s grinding his hips to the beat of the song. Build God Then We’ll Talk by Panic! At The Disco. “What a wonderful caricature of intimacy” He’s a slut for pre-split Panic!. Mainly A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. Ryan Ross’ writing really gets to him. He was a big fan of Panic! back in middle school. He stopped listening once the album after Vices & Virtues came out. Plus he’ll stop mid-make out to listen to the cello solo mid song. >>“Babe, this is the best part!” He’d say, holding you close to him. Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off by Panic! At The Disco. “I've got more wit, a better kiss. A hotter touch, a better fuck. Than any boy you'll ever meet. Sweetie, you had me.” You question why he would add this to the playlist. He explains it’s seductive. You don’t seem to agree but he changes your mind after the first time you have sex to this playlist.

The Taste Of Ink by The Used. “And won't you think I'm pretty. When I'm standing top the bright lit city.” He listens to this song all the time at the tattoo studio. His boss hates it but he loves it. It’s how he feels. He’ll sing the lyrics, “As long as you're alive and care. I promise I will take you there” to you. You think it’s honestly so cute. Lowkey wants this as a first dance song at your wedding. You’ll have to have a conversation about that.

Ohio Is for Lovers by Hawthorne Heights. “Spare me just three last words. "I love you" is all she heard.” The CLASSIC emo song. Erik adds it for the charm and nostalgia it holds. He remembers screaming this song at the top of his lungs when he was younger. It causes you to laugh the way the singer sings “cause my heart is in ohiooooo”. Erik hates when you make fun of the song but he finds it charming the way you engage with the music he likes. Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria. “But if you really loved me. You would have endured my world.” Erik will air guitar to the beginning and the solo. You find it cute and enduring… the first time. He once pulled over to do the air guitar and you had to lecture him about safe driving once he almost drove into a truck. Yeah Boy and Doll Face by Pierce The Veil. “Do you want me? Do you want to let me know that you're okay?” One of the first songs that made you ask if he was okay. He nodded while it played. You think it’s on his playlist for you but he assures you the yearning in the song reminds him of the way he feels about you. That makes you explain what the song is really about and he’s a bit dumbfounded. I Caught Fire by The Used. “In your eyes, I lost my place. Could stay a while. And I'm melting.” Another contender on the list of first dance songs. He learns it on guitar to sing to you. You find it cute. Well, you find everything he does cute. This is just cuteness overload for you. This song brings out a softer side to Erik that comes out rarely to the public. I Never Told You What I Do for a Living by My Chemical Romance. “And we'll love again, we'll laugh again.” Revenge is his FAVORITE album by My Chemical Romance. He claims this is a romantic song. Actually, he explains the full album lore to you. You sit through it while nodding your head along. He explains to you that this was his whole middle school and high school obsession. You honestly find that endearing. At least the man has hobbies!
