1. Songs Sirena would like
Book by Donna Jo Napoli
Songs picked by Claire
S

2. Bubbly- Colbie Caillat
S Sirena would like to listen to this simple
and sweet love song because she felt
many moments with Philocetes like some
described in this song.

3. Bless the Broken Road-
Rascal Flats
S Sirena is sometimes with a dab of
loneliness, spacing out wondering about
love. With this rhythmic song about
finding true love, with hers, she will sing
along with this song along with the tide.

4. Love Story- Taylor Swift
S Sirena would definitely relish Love
Story’s soothing tune and the story in this
song of discouraged love just like hers
with a happy ending she wishes for.

5. Lucky- Jason Mraz
S This lovely duet will be liked by Sirena as
there are many scenes she had reflected in
this song. I can imagine Sirena and
Philocetes singing this song to each other as
days pass by, practicing the verses and
making the melody with rocks and
shellfishes.

6. Marry You- Bruno Mars
S I guess Sirena would want a wedding like
her sister, everyone together with their
blessings. This cheerful and carefree song
will make Sirena fantasize about her own
wedding with Philocetes and she certainly
will fall in love with this song too.

7. The Sea of Love
S Sirena and her mermaid sisters would
listen to this song because of its simple
lyrics and melody. If they have known
this song in the story, it would be one of
the songs that lured sailors away for their
sake of eternity.

8. If I Die Young- The Band Perry
S I think this song will be liked and jealous of
by all immortal mermaids. Even Sirena. This
is because they won’t die and forever will be
young, which shows their goal is achieved
but with no love like in the story who is
fulfilled to have a short life.

9. Talking to the Moon-
Bruno Mars
S This song shows loneliness, which Sirena
sometimes gives me a feeling of as she
misses company of her mermaid sisters.
This is for times when she felt lonely and
wanted someone to talk too, sometimes
subjects she can’t even discuss with
Philocetes.

10. My life would suck without you-
Kelly Clarkson
S This song would probably be heard over
and over again when Sirena feels insecure
or misses Philocetes when he’s gone back
to the human world which will encourage
her to think that Philocetes will actually
come back to her one day like the story in
this song.
