What I learned most from yesterday is that Sandy needs to become a romance character stat! Y’all certainly had a great time though building her playlist.
The Winner for Sandy is Desert Rose by Sting! You can find the full Spotify playlist by following the link here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/78ugy3YtsN1xmTWlzRkoPl?si=pNPWeOVhSGms-JW9ew9leQ&pi=u-UPNPTnJERHSA
As always, please support the original artist for the above image by checking out Talkohlooey’s portrait mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/5269
We have now reached the man responsible for all of our memories we’ve made in Stardew Valley (other than Concerned Ape of course). Grandpa will be interesting as I think a few of you will put songs related to your own grandfather which I am 100% here for!
Pick a song you believe best represents Grandpa as a character, reminds you of him in some way, or one that you believe he would listen to on his own! As a bonus you can include songs your real life grandpa enjoys or songs that remind you of him!
Now please be kind, be creative, and be having fun!
(Also if you are interested in a Wave 2, include a character you want added in!)

I feel that [Meadows of Heaven by Nightwish](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWZubn3roV8) fits our grandpa quite well, I presume he’s in heaven and with the new 1.6 update we can inherit a beautiful meadow from him. I think theme of the song fits well
…While You’re Alive, by Jeff Rosenstock
When you’re a ghost, they’ll sit around And talk about how they liked you the most
When you’re a dream,
I’ll wake up To warm sun-rays that make me want to scream
I wanna let you know while you’re alive
Because everybody loves you when you die
~~[My Immortal by Evanescence](https://youtu.be/5anLPw0Efmo?si=lFiE-5uO5KALfebp). Primarily the line “though you’re still with me, I’ve been alone all along.” Admittedly, I probably focused on the wrong aspect of Gramps, but I just woke up and this song was the furthest I got when looking for a song before I started crying.~~
Alright, scratch that one. Let’s have some fun with it. [Lavender Town Jazz Cover by insaneintherainmusic](https://youtu.be/xt81XtXqhms?si=-GXTDj5yIHOtQLBj). Sticking with the theme of Gramps being gone, but less of a somber tone and more of a “I had a good run. Now it’s your turn.” It’s got that same eerie vibe Lavender Town is known for, but in a more upbeat sense. I especially like the line “Not another day will pass without you” because, in spite of being gone, he’s still there to see how far you’ve come.
Tears in Heaven – Eric Clapton
Ain’t not grave
I love to think that the Farmer used to visit Grandpa on the farm with their parents, so for me it’s The Call by Regina Spektor, a song from the Prince Caspian movie.
I’ll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before
“[Hero](https://youtu.be/ubjRIhoFqe8?si=vSagaAozhd8MqZjS)” by Sturgill Simpson
Born on a summer day in some dark holler
Way back in the hills of Perry County.
Well he grew up poor and he never saw a dollar
But a dollar ain’t no good in a coal camp anyway.
‘Cause when it all comes down to zero
There’s nothing more this life could ever give,
And I know I’ll never find another hero
Not another one like him.
Home by Daughtry
Well, I’m going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I’m not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don’t regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I’m going home
[Wanderer’s Lullaby by Adriana Figueroa](https://youtu.be/70VlAyEUXYM?si=kZGi8n6PMv_JwG8t)
I feel like the lyrics just scream the sentiment Grandpa wanted to pass on to the farmer, and the glockenspiel, music box instrumental very much reminds me of the farm evaluation cut scene. Very sweet song by a small creator!
“Lay down” – Ella Henderson
>Won’t you lay down
And tell me the places you’ve been
Won’t you lay down
And relive your story again
If things could turn back around
I know I would do anything
Won’t you lay down
‘Cause I know that heaven’s waiting
Won’t you stay now
There’s so much that’s never been said
Won’t you stay now
Remind me to never forget
And I, I won’t break down
I don’t want to live with regret
Won’t you stay now
I’ll be by your side ’til the end
And you’ve been to places I’ve never been
Built your walls so high but you’d always let me in
You showed me that love can build a home
But now I see, that it’s time to let you go
Won’t you lay down
And tell me the places you’ve been
Won’t you lay down
And relive your story again
If things could turn back around
I know I would do anything
Won’t you lay down
‘Cause I know that heaven’s waiting
No, no
If things could turn back around
I know I would do anything
Won’t you lay down
‘Cause I know that heaven’s waiting
