ROSIE: A SONG FOR CHERRY...

Another in our short series of playlists for the Chocolate Box sisters… this time, reader Rosie creates a list for Cherry!

Rosie says:
I want to start by giving a shout-out to Chloe who inspired this article with her blog 'A Song For Summer'… it was lovely. So here is my playlist for Cherry!

The first song I have chosen is Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift. It's an obvious choice - it basically sums up Cherry's life! She is so used to living a life of lies in a flat in Scotland… then she moves to Tanglewood to meet her new sisters. Everything rapidly changes for Cherry and she can't keep up. The song also describes Cherry and Shay's relationship. She is so used to being on the outside looking in, and boys not looking twice at her. Then she meets Shay and it is a beautiful and enchanting romance.

I Miss You by Avril Lavigne is my next song. This choice is a bit more sad than exciting; more deep and heartfelt. Cherry misses her mum and feels like even though she hardly knew her there is still a beautiful connection there. She is still struggling to move on. How can she accept a new family without leaving her mother behind? Cherry is just about to step out - but what if she regrets her choice? This song is just perfect for Cherry!

My final choice is Why Can't We Be Friends by War. I wonder who this is about? Honey, of course. Cherry tries so hard to fit in, to be friends with Honey, to make her like her. She struggles to make choices and treads on eggshells around Honey. A line from Sweet Honey made me choose this song especially: Cherry writes Honey a letter saying she wishes they could be friends.

Cathy says:

  2. No problem Rosie! I'm glad you liked the idea! It's probably a good idea that you do this one as Taylor Swift is practically written all over the other ones... Xxx
