It still stikes me as odd that I will break out only a few of my most beloved songs when it comes to universes based in my favorite stories. For the Aftermath Universe, I trot out only two of my all-time favorites.
"Honest Woman":
"Motherhood":
"Honest Woman":
- "Kiss" by Maroon 5
Because each of the women have resolved themselves that they want their man's extra time --and his kiss. - "All That I'm Asking For" by Lifehouse
The song is about not being perfect but wanting that someone beside you... It's really just perfect for this story...
"Motherhood":
- ~ "First Time" by Lifehouse
"...For once in my life, I'm scared to death..." It's about first times --and the fact that they can be frightening!
