Jackie’s grief, the jarring move from NYC to Colorado, and the complicated, protective-yet-romantic dynamics of the Walter boys call for music that can hold both tenderness and tension. This playlist alternates warm, intimate instrumental passages with lyric-driven indie/pop storytelling to mirror Jackie’s emotional turns—from shock and isolation to belonging and cautious hope.
