Oh, I'm so liking this post already. I'm a huge music person 
So here are my first few picks!
• Weapon - Matthew Good Band
Here by my side, you are destruction / Here by my side, a new color to paint the world /
Careful, be careful / This is where the world drops off / For it ain't so weird / How it makes you a weapon
• World Spins Madly On - The Weepies
With an aching in my head / I lay motionless in bed / The night is here and the day is gone /
And the world spins madly on / I thought of you and where you'd gone / And the world spins madly on
• Sway - Voxtrot
• Earthbound - Connor Reeves
Because your love, it lifted me above it all / Without it, it's leaving me so far to fall /
I hope you find what you're looking for / I never thought there could be anymore /
But if you really have to go / You take the high, I'll take the low /
But when you leave me don't you know? / You leave me earthbound /
You took me higher than I've ever been / Now that we're strangers, I've come down again /
Back to the real world, back to the real world / Back to the ground /
Not high above it, up where the love is / Now I'm earthbound
And that's all for now! Please feel very free to be inspired by these songs, haha. And oh! Generally, when I write, I have Stars playing in my background, especially 'Do You Trust Your Friends', because they gave all their songs on Set Yourself On Fire such dark twists.

This is like my go-to song for the angst, and for me it fits so much into grown-up TK and all their raging emotions and dystopic displacement. The drums in this song totally makes up for the dark mood, and it's this uncontrolled fury inside that really brings out the raw feelings that Tommy and Kim would feel in the moment. Bonus points if this inspires a story about them forming a new team of Rangers!

Ahahahah, given that my first ever PR/TK fic is named after this song... It's quietly heartwrenching, and exudes a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness, especially from Tommy's POV as he reflects on Kim leaving him.

• Sway - Voxtrot
I can't pick the lyrics out for this one, because this whole song in its essence just screams Tommy/Kimberly. To put it so beautifully by someone at SongMeanings, "it's about loving someone when you're young, and then growing apart and growing up and changing." And somewhere, down the road, they'll continue to find each other, because in their lives, they'll always only have each other. I love Voxtrot, and this song is so hauntingly chilling and beautiful.

Oh, this song. Just look at the lyrics, and I dare you to tell me that you didn't think of a heartbroken Tommy.
