no parallels - hands like houses
[ “this is happiness; to be everything at once.” ]
this is the song the lyrics on indy’s theme are from, and one i feel overall suits him really well. to me, it’s a song full of adventure and about finding happiness and freedom even with the burdens that come with the human condition. indy himself is pretty free-spirited and naturally has a pretty optimistic and sunny disposition, so it has a lot of his energy. there are also lots of references to nature, which is also something very important to indy. there’s a lyric that goes “we're domestic and we're discontent, and we're grinding our gums raw,” so it’s not an entirely happy song, just as indy isn’t an entirely happy person, but it suggests that an adventurous spirit and throwing caution to the wind is how you really enjoy life, and indy fits that bill pretty well!
are you gonna be my girl - jet
[ “well it's one, two, three, take my hand and come with me
because you look so fine that I really wanna make you mine.” ]
this makes the list because it’s one of indy’s favorite songs (along with geronimo by sheppard, which didn’t make the list for the sake of redundant descriptions.) jet is an australian band, just like indy is a kid from sydney, australia himself. this song came out in 2003, a mere two years after indy was born, but it’s a song that was present in his childhood, and throughout his entire life, indy has been a fan of older rock music. then again, indy listens to a lot of different music (except for much kpop, ironically...) but he’s sentimental and songs that were important to his life growing up are usually some of his favorites.
surfin’ usa - the beach boys
[ “everybody’s gone surfin’, surfin’ usa.” ]
indy is not actually surfin’ usa, he’s surfin’ australia, but the concept is ultimately the same. indy’s identity is “surfer boy” before just about anything else. he's even got the stereotypical blond surfer dude hair, and he still has the dawn patrol and world surf league apps downloaded even though he's been living in korea for more than two years now. he used to surf all the time back in australia; it was his Thing™ and his passion. it's one of the things he misses most now that he's in korea. he skateboards now, but it just isn't the same as the ocean breeze and sand between his toes. early in his time in legacy, he would get anxious being inside for so long. he's more used to it now, but still feels most at home as surrounded by nature as possible. unfortunate.
canyon moon - harry styles
[ “you gotta see it to believe it, sky never looked so blue.” ]
this song gives hippie vibes, and there's even a line about "hippie music" in here, which is part of the reason why it was added to the playlist. indy's mother may be a scientist, but don't be fooled; his parents are also both conservationists and definitely hippies. they named their son indigo march lee. enough said...but really, this song also speaks to indy's love of nature and homesickness for australia, because even in a city like sydney, the sky seemed bluer and the air seemed fresher. he got to visit australia again over the holiday break, which was great, but getting back to korea and legacy leaves him with some mixed feelings: both new motivation and relief and new sadness in leaving australia behind again.
here comes the sun - the beatles
[ “here comes the sun, and i say it’s alright.” ]
i call indy "sunshine boy" a lot, so this song seemed fitting to add based off that much alone. i compare him a lot to the sun in his bio too, and i do think it's a fitting comparison. he's almost always smiling brightly, trying to cheer everyone up, and a very warm person in all ways. he's a very optimistic person, and while he's not always as internally sunny as he appears, overall, he's the kind of person to be confident everything will end up okay eventually. his main goal in becoming an idol, and in his life in general, is to make people happy, so here comes the sun (indy)!!
dwyw - stand atlantic
[ “take me closer to the sun, you can cut off both my arms.” ]
this song is darker than any of the others on the playlist, but even the "happiest" characters need at least one! part of the reason this song is on this playlist is because stand atlantic is an australian band. the "take me closer to the sun" line is also where i got the title of indy's playlist. to me, this song relates to indy's pushover tendencies, and how he'll sacrifice anything to try to make and keep other people happy. he's also gullible and easily taken advantage of, and puts up with a lot without ever standing up for himself. while he seems confident and unshakably cheerful, there are moments where he has a lot of self-doubt, and this song explores that.
sunny - sunmi
[ “you can call me sunny, sunny.” ]
ah yes, back at it again with the sunshine references. like mentioned before, indy is a very bright and warm person, not so unlike sunshine. it's a running motif in the background i wrote for him, too, and he tries to embody the sun in everything he does. aside from that, this song is also adventurous and makes lots of references to the ocean, the beach, and paradise, all things that are important to indy too. it's adventurous and fun, as is indy, and even the vaguely tropical and upbeat instrumental has his energy to me. it's just fun and cute! so is he.
work this body - walk the moon
[ “i will work this body, i will burn this flame, oh in the dead of night and in the pouring rain.” ]
this is another really upbeat and fast song with a driving beat where the instrumental alone gives me the Vibes. overall, this song is really relevant to him though; the "work this body" part applies literally in the fact that indy is a dancer, and the "burn this flame" part makes me think of indy's stubborn insistence on remaining optimistic and happy for everyone around him. he may not have a lot of ambition, but he does work really hard, and he's been beaten down by lots of people based on his lack of skill and talent. part of him is really determined to prove everyone wrong in that regard, so he uses it all as motivation to improve, and the lyrics of this song go along with that.
with you - superm
[ “like the ocean gives away the breeze, i wanna ride your wave and be your tide.” ]
more fresh, bright, nice instrumental indy vibes, but of course, the lyrics apply too! to me, this song is kind of a soft ode to indy's relationships, especially #aussieline. it's another song with a kind of adventurous spirit, about throwing caution to the wind and enjoying time with someone, whether that's a friend or romantic interest. maybe it leans more romantic, but indy is really soft and affectionate with his friends, so the parts about holding hands etc don't have to be romantic for him. it's also here for ocean references! always! indy would also like to clarify that this song does not make him think about jiahn, which is obviously false, otherwise he would not need to clarify it.
this song is pretty straightforward and is about exactly what you would think: boogieing up. that is to say: dancing. 80% of the lyrics are about dancing in the summer heat, which is another indy vibe. this one is just fun, which indy deserves bc he suffers a lot for the good kid he is asdasdgdsg there's very little depth to it. just a song for a kid dancin in the summer time, the vibe. there's not much to say here so all i'll do is repeat myself and nobody is going to read to the end of this anyway so i'll just hit 100 words this way, thank you thank you <3
this song has been on her most-played list for quite a while. after the movie crazy rich asians came out and the soundtrack was released she fell in love with the cover of the older coldplay song. while she hadn't chosen mandarin as her elective language in school back home, she still thought the language was pretty and as she listened and overplayed the song, she found herself picking up the lyrics with time. it wasn't enough that she actually understood the lyrics but it was enough to whet her appetite and inspire her to begin learning the language a little.
bicycle - chung ha
jiyeon has a set routine every morning that she follows diligently. she brushes her teeth first so that she can wash away the residue with her cleanser at the beginning of the routine. it was a great change once moving to korea that she could start buying her skincare from the source and had a dermatologist to consult. during her morning routine she likes to play bright and powerful songs to wake her up fully and set her day off to a fresh start. she was partial to the popular women soloists out, so chungha, sunmi and hyuna were always on her morning playlist-- bicycle being one that has stuck around despite her playlist going through a cleaning every once in a while.
vienna - ben platt
this is a song on her playlist that's slower and carries a bit more meaning to jiyeon. she wasn't expecting a song that came out of a netflix show to touch her but it did. she'd heard it before, the original by billy joel, but hearing it again and with the context of the show kind of locked her in. on one hand, she relates to the song in a way that it inspires her to keep pushing with her pursuit of modelling in a country away from half of her family. on the other hand, it reminds jiyeon to humble herself and not run faster than what her natural pace affords.
the weekend - MILLI - BIBI
the weekend is another get-ready-jam song for jiyeon but this one she usually plays before an event or before seeing her girlfriends. she'd found the remix and was hooked on it and it slowly crept up her most-played list which kind of surprised her. whenever it comes on when she shuffles her music, it's almost like she can't help her shoulders from bouncing with it which is slightly embarrassing when she's out in public or traveling. from this song she started getting more into the two artists, which is a win for her. she loves supporting women in the entertainment industry.
goodbye my love - ailee
this song has remained on jiyeon's playlist for years now. she always returns to it especially when she misses her sister. the song is from a show they had watched together years ago, a little tradition to sit together and watch when the episode premiered. sometimes they'd rope their little brother into it too if he was unlucky enough to be home. she loved ailee as a singer and had a special love of ost ballads but since it was from a show she shared with the sister she didn't see as much now, she'd been listening to it more frequently.

CHARACTER UPDATE - Q4 2021 | MOON CAMERON
playlist
chosen family - rina sawayama
cameron had only found this song this year and loved it. it may be a bit cheesy to relate to the lyrics the way he did, but the song struck him when he felt his loneliest. he didn't get to see his parents that often since he started training, despite some of his family being in korea, so he'd had to rely on his friendships to fill the little cold marble-sized hole in his gut, that sometimes made him want to pack up and go see them again. he friends were great and were a good rock to him, and they were appropriately considered his 'chosen family' overseas.
anxious - EZI
still a little cheesy to some, cam found it soothing listening to songs that addressed mental health struggles. it was comforting to know that his experiences and feelings weren't isolated and specific to him. other people felt the same way and made songs about it. some day he hoped he could make music that others could relate to and find comfort in. he was a long, long way away from that but it was a nice little dream despite it all. it helped that the song was catchy and the singer had a nice tone, often times he fell asleep if it came on his playlist at night.
creep - vincint
this was a song he'd found while watching a reality singing competition show, the final four finale, with his family. the cover of the widely popular radiohead song almost knocked him off of his feet, he was so impressed with the power of the man's voice and stylistic choices. he wished to one day be able to surprise people with his vocals-- he'd never reach this level but it was something to work towards. to take an unsuspecting song and make such a show out of it. once a studio version was released, it very quickly rose to his top 20 songs.
for a pessimist, i’m pretty optimistic - paramore
cam had a special love for paramore, had a lot of their songs in his different playlists (for different moods/activities), but this was one that transcended those individual playlists and made it to his top songs. although he couldn't relate so much to the lyrics, not going through heartbreak and the like, the guitar and the mix of upbeat and then low drops made the song fun and even more fun to sing a long to. it was especially useful in his gym mix when he wanted to push himself. his friends would probably make fun of him for working out to paramore, if they even knew who that was, but he didn't let it get to him.
numbers - melanie martinez
this isn't a song that's very high on cam's most-played list but it is one that he relates to. the song, to him, outlines the pressure and the lack of consideration to artists and those who create or perform for the mainstream media audience. it reminds him of when he was at his old company and the nights he spent wishing he'd never gotten on the plane, had never wasted his time and dreams on people who would never see him as more than a number under their purview. he'd been worked to the bone there, barely sleeping for little to no outcome from his efforts. in the end it was all a scam.
