Helena`s Playlist
Theme: Whining and crying will not solve my problems. Darn.
TRACK ONE- Nobody Wants to be my Friend, by Eeyore
"...nobody wants to be my friend..."
TRACK TWO-Bad blood Cover, by Taylor Swift
"... Cause baby now we got bad blood..."
TRACK THREE-Maybe, by Ingrid Michaelson
While Helena and Demetrius are going into the woods, Helena begs abd begs and begs Demetrius to love her back. She really wants-like, more that anything else- him to like her back. This song represents Helena`s wish for Demetrius and symbolizes her #1 wish in the world; as she showed us earlier in the play she said that the only thing that matters is how Demetrius feels about her.
TRACK FOUR-One and Only, by Adele
"...and simply be mine..."
TRACK FIVE-Realize, by Colbie Caillat
"..If you just realized what I just realized..."
TRACK SIX-Forget You, by Cee Lo Green
"..yeah I`m like, forget you!..."
TRACK SEVEN-A Thousand Years, by Christina Perri
In this song, Helena sings about how happy she ends up being, how her dreams came true, how she got what she really wanted. She shows how when Demetrius and her end up together she tells him about every single day, every single hour that she spent thinking about him and how she will forever be with him.
TRACK EIGHT-Friendship Song, by Carbon Leaf
"...I want to be your pal, want to be around..."
TRACK NINE- Happy, by Pharrell Williams
Towards the end of the play, Hermia and Lysander end up with each other and Helena and Demetrius end up with each other. This song shows how they are all happy with the way it all worked out. It shows the way all of the broken friendships and cracked relationships were all glued back together and all turn out the way everybody wanted it too.
TRACK TEN-Everything is Awesome, by the Lego Movie
At the very end, every single character in the play is happy and 100% happy with the way their lives end up. This song represents the happy ending that everybody ends up with. It talks about the way they all pulled it together and solved all of the problems. Sure, most plays has a happy ending, and sure, this is one of those. But it is still really uplifting when every person gets their way.
