Soundtrack to Just Like Heaven

• “Just Like Heaven” by The Cure

  No explanation needed. 🙂

• “Raise Your Glass ” by Pink

  The lyrics of this song make me think of Honoria, so determined to keep the musicale tradition alive, even though she knows how dreadful they all are.

• “Teenage Dream” by Glee Cast

  I like Katy Perry just fine, but I much prefer this version with Darren Criss on lead vocals. The line “You think I’m funny when I tell the punchline wrong” reminds me of Marcus. Not that he’s telling the punchline wrong, but I love when Honoria is thinking about how no one else in the world (besides her) realizes what a good sense of humor he has.

• “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

  This song sounds the way happiness feels. It’s as simple as that.

• “I Want Candy” by Bow Wow Wow

  Reader Jessica picked this one for the line: “I want a guy that is tough but sweet…” To say nothing of Marcus and Honoria’s shared love of dessert! (Note from JQ: “I love this song, too!”)
