Favorite Song for OLBA or for Cove

[Stevo]

There have been one or two discussions about songs that people like for playing OLBA or that makes them think about Cove. I thought it would be fun to put all of this into a more obvious thread and let others chime in.

So what song makes you think about Cove, the relationship you build with him, or the whole game?

Here's mine. Rather than link to the official video, I'll post a lyrics video so everyone can read how the lyrics are sooooooo approriate.
Grow as We Go - Ben Platt

When I get lots of good submissions, I'll build a YouTube Playlist and share it!

My favorite song that makes me think of Cove and his relationship with my MC is Funny You Should Ask by The Front Bottoms. It's kinda funny and isn't as sweet and coming-of-age as the game is, but you can make clear connections in the lyrics

Just listened; hadn't heard it before. I can definitely feel the angst of a summer crush in it. You're right that it isn't on the sweet side, but kinds wry in its humor. Neat!

My go to song for MC and Cove's relationship is "Lucky" by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat, I think it just sums them up perfectly :) i also like to imagine my mc singing "make you feel my love" by adele to cove!!

So I know this topic is old but I was just thinking about this yesterday and lo and behold, someone else posted about it.

I listened to Fireflies by Owl City and yeah, the song reminds of the game (for obvious reasons) but also the lyrics make me think of Cove and his personality.

Hmm... I guess it has to be Italio DIsco by Last Dinosaurs. Also Metamodernity by Vansire. The vibes are so California beach summer, but they all have a touch of sadness and nostalgia to them that I think this game invokes in a lot of people.

Somewhere Only We Know by Keane, something so beautiful about it, there's no words to describe it just beautiful

[Arlith]

"Forever" by Labyrinth, something so sweet and intense about it, no words just feels.

Big Star by Lorde is great for the wistful nostalgia of Step 4. Bittersweet. "Every perfect summer's gotta say good night."
Perfect for the player who knows that, at the end, they'll have to step away from the perfect summers of Sunset Bird.

"Sunshower", by Matteo Markus Bok. Like, you just want to spend time with Cove and make him smile, and you want to learn what deep thoughts he keeps locked inside his head.
