Song Lyrics

Music is an important part of Mimi’s life, so there’s a lot of it in this series. Every song referenced is in one of the playlists.

Unfortunately licensing lyrics for print is a sisyphean task. I’ve circumvented that pain by using the song title and artist (which does not require licensing) and trying to communicate the general sentiment via other means. If you’re curious what specific lyrics were included in the original draft (alpha chapters), find the song on your favourite lyrics site and refer to this handy table.
