Fangirlish Playlist for ‘Shadow and Bone’s Alina and Mal

With Shadow and Bone right around the corner we thought it would be a good idea to put a playlist together all about the relationship between Alina and Mal. Played by Jessie Mei Li and Archie Renaux, these two characters have a bond like none we’ve seen before. And if you’ve read the book, you know what’s coming. If not, steer clear and save yourself for when Shadow and Bone premieres April 23, 2021 on Netflix.

1. Just You and I by Tom Walker

And I know
I can tell you anything
You won’t judge
You’re just listening, yeah
‘Cause you’re the best thing that ever happened to me

‘Cause my darling, you and I
Could take over the world
One step at a time
Just you and I (Just you and I)
‘Cause you’re the only one
Who brings light just like the sun
One step at a time
Just you and I (Just you and I)

2. This is How You Fall in Love by Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler

Sun in my eyes, navy blue skies
You are the reason I can survive
We turn off the phones to just be alone
We’ll draw the curtains and never leave home

I had a nightmare (oh)
But now that I’m not scared

This is how you fall in love (uh)
Let go and I’ll hold you up (uh)
So pull me tight and close your eyes (uh)
Oh, my love, side to side

3. Away from You by Roundrobin

I never knew how to say goodbye
Never knew if it’s the last time
Maybe I’ll lie and say I’m fine
Getting real lost in your blue eyes
Never thought you would have been mine
Never said it to my friends
I always had you on my mind
Always had you on my…

And I can make it even if the world is breaking
Now all of my doubts are fading
And tell me that you won’t let me, let me, let me down
Maybe I was wrong to think that
You hated the things I was doing lately
Oh all I wanna say is

4. Feels Like You by Faime

Sometimes this feels like an ending of a movie
If I’m just dreaming then I’m hoping I can stay asleep
Know that no matter what
After the closing scene
I’ll be the only one to love you in my dreams

Sometimes it feels like I’ll never have enough of you
When you’re around me you make every passing moment new
And when I’m not with you, I know you’ll still agree
I’ll be the only one to love you in my dreams

5. Hey Stupid I Love You by JP Saxe

You’re jealous, you shouldn’t be
I want you obsessively
But I know how complicated it can get
When you’re not in front of me
I know insecurities
Get in your head

But I’m not gonna interrupt
If you need to talk about it
Roll my eyes or get offended by
The way you doubt it
You know you’re mine
You just forget sometimes
So promise me you won’t
And you know I’ll remind you
When you think I don’t

Hey stupid, I love you

6. 3 Small Words by MisterWives

Your watch broke
And I hope that it stopped time
‘Cause I really like your body next to mine
And I know
I’m going slow
Can I dive back into waters that I barely survived?

Now I’m thousands of miles away
I wish I could tell you to your face
The things I gotta say
That night that you colored my hair
I knew something real special was there
But I was scared

Three small words are so big when they’re for
You…

7. Dandelions by Ruth B

Maybe it’s the way you say my name
Maybe it’s the way you play your game
But it’s so good, I’ve never known anybody like you
But it’s so good, I’ve never dreamed of nobody like you

And I’ve heard of a love that comes once in a lifetime
And I’m pretty sure that you are that love of mine

‘Cause I’m in a field of dandelions
Wishing on every one that you’ll be mine, mine
And I see forever in your eyes
I feel okay when I see you smile, smile
Wishing on dandelions all of the time
Praying to God that one day you’ll be mine
Wishing on dandelions all of the time, all of the time
