Everything at Once
Liner Notes

All rights to these lyrics belong to the artists and their record companies. No money is made from this or any other fanfiction I write.

Music is a huge part of Everything at Once. After chapter four, I don’t think I wrote one single word that wasn’t accompanied by a song playing in my head at the time. I don’t write with music playing. I can’t. Too much competing noise. But the minute I’m listening to anything, the story starts pouring out of me. I have to have a journal by my stereo and one in the car—plus my dictaphone. It comes that fast.

I have lines from songs written on just about everything you can think of. I was in the grocery store one day, and they were musak-ing some song that I knew, and I’d left my journal in the car. So, I had a bag of Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies in my cart, the bag is white, so I wrote it on there. I get to the check out, and the check out guy looks at the cookies and then looks at me like why am I scanning a bag of cookies that says "do that to me one more time; once is never enough with a man like you.” I’m standing there giving him a look like, Scan the damn cookies. It’s your job. I’m paying for them. I can write whateverthefuck I want on them. Kthnx. So, I think we’re all on the same page now about that.

Some of these songs were chosen because I felt like the song applied to EAO. Sometimes I just chose a particular lyric or line because I liked it, and it’s taken completely out of context. You’ll notice as you look through the list that my taste in music is in no way recent, but, oddly, (or actually not, if you know me), I flaunt my musical guilty pleasures with pride.

Some songs repeat themselves throughout the story as do some artists. So, enjoy, and shake it ‘til you break it. -Plum

You see 'em comin' at you every night
Strung on pretension they fall for you at first sight

You know their business--you think it's a bore
They make you restless--it's nothin' you ain't seen before

You crave attention--you can never say "no"
Throw your affections anyway the wind blows

You always make it--you're on top of the scene
You sell the copy like the cover of a magazine

Everybody knows you
Everybody snows you
Everybody needs you...leads you...bleeds you

You got your glory--you paid for it all
You take your pension in loneliness and alcohol

The more you understand, seems the more like you do
You never get away...everybody wants you
Everybody Wants You—Billy Squier
