Veronica Mars is a noir TV show about a teenage amateur detective in Southern California who works with her PI father, and the mysteries that they solve. Veronica is a spunky young woman who has gone from the popular clique at school to a social pariah, and always has a witty comment to go along with a smile. She's brilliantly smart, but still emotional and heartbreakingly strong. Her best friend's murder is still unsolved, her mother left, her boyfriend dumped her, and yet she still carries on. The series follows Veronica's journey from high school to college over the course of 3 seasons. I essentially put 4 songs per season that each represent her mindset during that time, but the mix should be listened to as a whole. 


ingrid michaelson // somebody that i used to know
no you didn't have to stoop so low
have you friends collect your records
and then change your number
guess that i don't need that though
now you're just somebody that i used to know


matt nathanson // pretty the world
and you hate the way they wash you down
the summer hums heavy now
still you bolded all your best words
so they'd have something to wrap their mouths around


the national // sorrow
sorrow found me when i was young
sorrow waited, sorrow won
sorrow that put me on the pills
it's in my honey, it's in my milk


ellie goulding // salt skin
you're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
i don't know when you'll break but it's gonna be soon
if my will caves in, i'll be in the same boat as you


josh ritter // man burning
don't stand so close to me
don't be another tragedy
i've burned everybody who had a hand to lend
a man burning at both ends


rilo kiley // love and war (11/11/46)
love and war, in heaven and in hell
you get what you deserve, you'd better spend it well
all is fair in love and war and love
a civil war like this, it always sells itself


maroon 5 // sweetest goodbye
pushing forward and arching back
bring me closer to heart attack
say goodbye and just fly away
when you come back, i have something to say, yeah


camera obscura // i need all the friends i can get
can't you see that you are leading her on
you're feeling listless
people are tired and commitment has gone
to this i've been a witness


straylight run // mistakes we knew we were making
so we bottled and shelved all our regrets
let them ferment and came back to our senses
drove back home and slept a few days
woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be


lostprophets // rooftops
will we make a mark this time?
will we always say we tried?
we're standing on the rooftops
everybody scream your heart out


sea wolf // you're a wolf
i'm runnin on the northeast street
cut to the ocean before i run too low
the one that you are looking for
you're not gonna find her here


neon trees // sins of my youth
i've got these habits that i cannot break
and as i'm older there is more at stake
go ahead and call me fake
but these are the sins
the sins of my youth
