The first song on the playlist is Wild Horses by The Sundays. The song is mentioned in Undone when Serena compares hearing Kori sing to hearing this version of the song. In doing so, she is also describing how special and different Kori is.
Burning Bright by Shinedown is perhaps the song that best describes Serena and Kori's relationship.
Lyrics like: Some questions are better left without a reason/And I would rather reveal myself than my situation/Now and then I consider, my hesitation describe the secrets Kori has kept from Serena.
The chorus: The more the light shines through me/I pretend to close my eyes/The more the dark consumes me/I pretend I'm burning, burning bright describe the way the two best friends are opposites, but the same. Almost yin and yang.
Popular by Nada Surf is a fun song describing the social atmosphere of Kismet High.
Girlfriend by Avril Lavigne is another fun song that is included for the scene where Serena's friend Cole steals the most popular boy in school's attention.
But the fun soon ends, and that bring us to Pearl Jam's Black-- a song that Serena plays over and over as she tries to cope with a sudden horrific loss in her life. The lyrics perfectly match how her world has now changed:
all the pictures had all been washed in black, tattooed everything.../all the love gone bad, turned my world to black/tattooed all i see, all that i am, all i'll ever be.../i know someday you'll have a beautiful life, i know you'll be a star/in somebody else's sky, but why/why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine?
