Fortunate Son: The Playlist

 


For The Good Son, I did a whole chapter-by-chapter song list breakdown, with scene cues and everything, because that's how it all played out in my head while I was writing. With Fortunate Son (available now! run go get it!) the vision wasn't one-song-per-chapter, but, rather, a few specifics accompanying certain scenes. I've included scene cues below. Starting with:


opening scene
(light coming up on the exterior of the police precinct)
"long cool woman (in a black dress)" - the hollies 

.

alex goes to the clubhouse
"white rabbit" - jefferson airplane 

.

refrain throughout
"fortunate son" - credence clearwater revival

.

aidan and tango
"sweater weather" - the neighborhood 

.

fallon gets a drink (and more than he bargained for)
"in-a-gadda-da-vida" - iron butterfly 

.

alex comes back to Knoxville
"ride the lightning" - warren zeiders 

.

the car chase
"cochise" - audioslave 

.

alex up a tree
"rooster" - alice in chains

.

at walsh's old place by the train tracks
"way down we go" - kaleo

.

at the funeral home
"dear god" - XTC

.

final scene
opening notes
"the killing kind" - marianas trench

.
