13 Standout Songs From '13 Reasons Why'
Pop Sugar

13 Reason Why is the show everyone seems to be talking about this past couple of weeks. While most articles you have been seeing on your news feed have been about why the story is important or why someone thinks that it was romanticizing suicide, I'm keeping opinions completely out of this article. I'm just here today to talk a little about the fantastic music featured in this show. Because it's fantastic. So without further ado, here are 13 of the most stand out songs from the show.

1. Only You- Selena Gomez

With Selena being executive producer of the show, it only makes sense that she would write a song for the show. Beautiful, touching, haunting, but what more could we expect from Selena, to be honest.

2. Bored- Billie Eilish

I had never heard of Billie previously to watching the show, but I very much enjoyed this song and her style. Reminds me a bit of Ellie Golding.

3. Love Will Tear Us Apart- Joy Division

Enjoy the addition of an oldie to the soundtrack. Definitely a song that would be one of Tony's tapes.

4. Into The Black- Chromatics

This song is a couple years old, but I had never heard of it before the show. Chilling, but very powerful and a great song.

5. Kill Em With Kindness- Acoustic- Selena Gomez

Another Selena song, but this one was not created for the show. The Acoustic version of this song however is beautiful and I almost actually prefer this version over the original.

6. The Night We Met- Lord Huron

Definitely my favorite of the songs I discovered from the show. Amazing, beautiful, 10/10.

7. A 1000 times

Really like the vibe of this song, more of an indie rock song.

8. High- Sir Sly

While most of the songs from the show are kind of more slow and depressing, this song is a little more upbeat. For that reason, I really enjoy and appreciate this song.

9. Cool Blue- The Japanese House

The beat to this song is really cool, and its different from a lot of the other songs on the soundtrack, I really enjoy this one.

10. The Killing Moon- Roman Remains

Kind of gives off a creepy vibe if I'm being honest... Also getting a lot of Lorde vibes from this song.

11. Fascination Street- The Cure

slightly odd that the intro of this song is over 2 minutes long... Definitely fits the theme of the show though.

12. The Walls Came Down- The Call

Another song from the 80s but definitely fits the aesthetic of the show with the tapes.

13. The Stand- The Alarm

This show was really loving the 80s.

Happy listening!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
