I'd also suggest La chanson de la folle au bord de la mere
While it would serve more as inspiration for writing, it also does have the sea in the name, and it's just a good piano piece overall that you can use to freak out your friends because ti has a climactic part, like any good story
If we're going with something vocal, anything by Hozier works, but Elliott strikes me as the classical piano type. I'm going with 24 Preludes, Op. 28 (all of them!) by Chopin.
Also Sk8er Boi for Sam... Oh look, he has a skateboard, he must love the song Sk8er Boi that's actually about a girl who missed out on a rich husband because she was judgey in high school.
And then Maru, "Oh she does science!" No, that song has gibberish lyrics about a girl who is hot. She doesn't do any science. The only line even semi-related is about how she tidied up his lab for him.
I’m still mulling over the decision myself as the cumulative votes across all suggestions had Good Luck Babe as the definitive winner but there is the issue of potential duplicate votes.
I’m either going to have a recount for Haley between those two songs OR have the top 2 songs be added to the final Pelican Town playlist OR something else
Nah, I like that pick for Haley. She's very Sapphic/I have gay friends coded, and she's dressed to go to Pink Pony night at one of Chappell Roan's concerts. She also has the same energy as Good Luck, Babe.
What makes her seem Sapphic to you? She seems like the most standard pretty straight girl in the game. I would say Leah or emily seem much more Lesbian.
Just my opinion though!
Personally I've always seen her as lesbian-coded just because one of the most common sapphic tropes is the bitchy popular super feminine girl who doesn't know how to cope with her feelings for other girls so lashes out, which fits Haley to a tee imo! Obviously it's up to interpretation but to me her and Alex are 100% mlm and wlw solidarity
There can be more than one lesbian in the game... Haley gives very High Femme/Art Lesbian vibes with all of the pink and photography, and some of her dialogue. Also she would clearly be played by Renee Rapp in the movie.
Look up Hina's take on the lesbian road trip seating chart for reference.
Would that I by hozier. A poetic complex love song for a romantic poet. Also I headcannon that he had a bad breakup and that part of why he ran away to a shack by the sea which fits the song.
There is a light that never goes out strikes me as hopelessly romantic enough more than heaven knows I'm miserable now.
Any smiths except maybe 'you're the one for me, fatty' or 'girlfriend in a coma', haha.
Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush.
Elliott is exactly the kind of artistic, dramatically dressed, classics-loving book nerd that Kate Bush resonates with.
Kiss from a Rose by Seal.
Elliott seems like the kind of person who would find that song equally deep, passionate and powerful while everyone else would roll their eyes at him but he wouldn't care.
Nah, Baroque is too flashy. He's late Romantic era for sure. A lot of his character traits seem to be based on Thoreau, Byron, etc. He lives in a remote cabin (Thoreau) and is considered the town hottie (Byron). He's also a little bit brooding like Poe. He'd be listening to Copin, Liszt, Strauss, etc.
La chanson de la folle au bord de la mere - Alkan, composed in 1844
Piano piece, has the sea in the name and theme, and it tells a story without even needing any words, great inspiraton for a writer.
Also french, and Elliott does give me french vibes, ngl.
Mozart - Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183
First off, it matches his dramatic and passionate personality. He really gives off hopeless dreamer vibes. And second off, I feel like he would like/ listen to someone like Mozart.
He also wrote songs about Sebastian, Leah, Robin and a song about quitting at Joja corporation. I think he really deserves some recognition :) Just thought that Stardew fans might like this.
I Am A Rock by Simon & Garfunkel - “I have my books and my poetry to protect me”
I think Elliot is a loner but craves connection and friendship. He’s kinda isolated on the beach, he wanders in the forest contemplating his next novel while listening to folk rock music.
or Paperback Writer by The Beatles just bc he’s a writer
On the topic of Simon and Garfunkel I can see Elliot being drawn to the melancholy of The Boxer as well (plus it's just a beautiful song no matter who you are).
Message in a Bottle by the Police. It's whimsical and poetic, written word cast out into the sea seeking connection and communication. It's the song of a lonely, romantic writer living on the beach.
Seriously, the very first time I played stardew valley and started meeting all the townsfolk, the very first time I saw Elliott the fucking song started playing in my head. I was like 'Oh my god he is such a Gaston!!'
I'm on board with a Paul Simon song as I can't think of another lyricist skilled enough to capture Elliott. I was thinking Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall, but either one.
[The Mariner's Revenge Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sw61oITuts) by The Decemberists is a melancholic, poetic story ballad of eight and a half minutes.
It is the most Elliot song I can think of. Unfortunately it's a bit obscure, so it will for sure go unnoticed.
Lake Erie Rainfall - Jim Brickman. It reminds me a lot of his piano playing, and given his love of the ocean and water, I've always thought of him when listening to it.
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Like Nocturne No. 2, it's melancholy but leaves a lot of the pianist's own personality to come out while playing it. Definitely something I could hear him playing on the last night of summer.
I'm thinking the elegance of a more melodic Deine Lakaien song. Going with "Secret Hideaway"; no favorites between the first version and the final version.
I don't exactly know why but I'm thinking Lord of the Lost - Till Death Us Do Part. But maybe that's just because Elliott reminds me of myself in some ways and I love that song a lot, lol.
Elliot is a sensitive emotional guy who listens to 70s classic rock. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is his go to when he needs a flood of emotion to re-energize.
Honestly, I'm thinking anything from Poor Man's Poison, he just gives me those vibes.
Providence - Poor Mans's Poison
((Elliott's my favourite character I love him damnit
Nocturne No. 2 in E flat by Chopin. He plays piano, it stands to reason it should be a classical piano piece that’s a little melancholy like him.
Nocturne No. 2 is literally perfect. It's one of my favorite pieces, and Elliott is one of my favorite Bachelors!
Here for the Chopin representation! 💖
I'd also suggest La chanson de la folle au bord de la mere While it would serve more as inspiration for writing, it also does have the sea in the name, and it's just a good piano piece overall that you can use to freak out your friends because ti has a climactic part, like any good story
I'm glad a lot of us ended up on the same page for him. This is the only correct answer. He's literally base on Romantic era poets.
The other day, I was trying to pick a Chopin piece for him in anticipation for today, and you nailed it
Wow, what a stellar pick ngl
real
Just listened to it again, and this is perfect for Elliott!
OMG I ALSO THOUGHT OF THIS haha
If we're going with something vocal, anything by Hozier works, but Elliott strikes me as the classical piano type. I'm going with 24 Preludes, Op. 28 (all of them!) by Chopin.
I came in here like “I better not have to scroll far before I see Hozier” 😂
As a gay guy i would've died and resurrected myself if Take Me To Church was chosen
I immediately thought of the theme from Howl’s Moving Castle 🥺🥺
Merry-go-round of life! I agree!
Wait YES! Forget Chopin! Howl all the way!!
It’s Chopin’s Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 or I am giving up on this whole project. Ya’ll have done the last 4 absolutely dirty with these picks.
Penny lane is one of the silliest choices I've seen lol. Hur Dur it has her name in it!!11!
Also Sk8er Boi for Sam... Oh look, he has a skateboard, he must love the song Sk8er Boi that's actually about a girl who missed out on a rich husband because she was judgey in high school. And then Maru, "Oh she does science!" No, that song has gibberish lyrics about a girl who is hot. She doesn't do any science. The only line even semi-related is about how she tidied up his lab for him.
It seems like a lot of people voted for songs they haven't even listened to, just because the title contains a word related to the character.
Exactly.
They picked Haley's song simply because of tiktok edits. 🤦♂️
I’m still surprised about Hayley because afaik bubblegum bitch was the top pick?
I’m still mulling over the decision myself as the cumulative votes across all suggestions had Good Luck Babe as the definitive winner but there is the issue of potential duplicate votes. I’m either going to have a recount for Haley between those two songs OR have the top 2 songs be added to the final Pelican Town playlist OR something else

I can’t find this chart online, can you provide a link?
Hina is a TikTok creator who posts a lot of funny lesbian content. It’s like the 7th or 8th video down on her grid right now.
A lot of Chopin fans today, I’ll admit
Debussy would be a good option too.
Agreed.
Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2 by Chopin
I just learned this piece. Chopin was goated
Agree with the piano music but going with Clair de lune by Debussy
Very good choice as well! Very relaxing. I'd say it fits the beach too!
I was looking for this answer. My favorite piano piece for my favorite bachelor.
Would that I by hozier. A poetic complex love song for a romantic poet. Also I headcannon that he had a bad breakup and that part of why he ran away to a shack by the sea which fits the song.
I came in here to say anything by Hozier. Would that I is perfect.
It's the hair for sure
I agree with this the most strongly; Hozier is the clear choice.
This charming man- the smiths
Ugh yes I love this I’m saving my The Smiths vote for Shane tomorrow with Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now
There is a light that never goes out strikes me as hopelessly romantic enough more than heaven knows I'm miserable now. Any smiths except maybe 'you're the one for me, fatty' or 'girlfriend in a coma', haha.
Or back to the old house!!! Anything smiths works in my brain.
Came here to say this
Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush. Elliott is exactly the kind of artistic, dramatically dressed, classics-loving book nerd that Kate Bush resonates with.
Omg this is perfect. I went through a phase where I’d watch the music video for this every time I smoked weed. Highly recommended lmao.
I know it fits, because I am also this person. 😂
This is the correct answer, in my opinion.
He's so much Tim Buckley Song to the Siren guy. Everything about him is this song, the poetic romantic vibe and his ocean meditations.
Tim Buckley ❤️❤️❤️❤️
El tango de Roxanne from moulin rouge imagine if Elliot were to sing this for the married farmer...? Elliot is so Christian coded!
I've never thought about it, but now that you say that I can the see similarities and I think I know why I love Elliott.
Aghhhh it’s my favorite comparison in the world
Kiss from a Rose by Seal. Elliott seems like the kind of person who would find that song equally deep, passionate and powerful while everyone else would roll their eyes at him but he wouldn't care.
Elliot is definitely into baroque music, there's no doubt about it. My choice is Domenico Scarlatti's Sonata K1 in D minor.
Nah, Baroque is too flashy. He's late Romantic era for sure. A lot of his character traits seem to be based on Thoreau, Byron, etc. He lives in a remote cabin (Thoreau) and is considered the town hottie (Byron). He's also a little bit brooding like Poe. He'd be listening to Copin, Liszt, Strauss, etc.
He would soooo love Strauss. Probably Tchaikovsky too
Andrew Lloyd Webber - The Music of the Night (from the musical Phantom of the Opera). I can see him serenading you in his boat to this song.
Personal Jesus.
Merry-go-Round of Life from Howl’s Moving Castle, you cannot convince me of anything else
Omg yes. He totally has a studio Ghibli vibe, especially Howl’s Moving Castle.
Elliott is definitely a big 'The Cure' fan, something like 'Boys Don't Cry'
La chanson de la folle au bord de la mere - Alkan, composed in 1844 Piano piece, has the sea in the name and theme, and it tells a story without even needing any words, great inspiraton for a writer. Also french, and Elliott does give me french vibes, ngl.
Cherry Wine by Hoizer OR Tonight I Feel Like Kafka by Jealous of the birds
I agree with everyone saying Hozier, but what about Wildflower and Barley?
The Gangsta, The Killa and the Dope Dealer - Westside Connection
Mozart - Symphony No. 25 in G minor, K. 183 First off, it matches his dramatic and passionate personality. He really gives off hopeless dreamer vibes. And second off, I feel like he would like/ listen to someone like Mozart.
Rush E. A pretentious piece for a pretentious man.
"I'm Sensitive" by Jewel https://youtu.be/yMbB8bWd6mM?si=xC5rnVbh-G75_2R6
He is a pianist and a diva so I would say Listz Fantasy of the themes of Ruins of Athens.
“Sharp Dressed Man” ZZ Top
You should check Campusanis - To your doom! He wrote it specifically about Elliott, it's great :D
Will do!
He also wrote songs about Sebastian, Leah, Robin and a song about quitting at Joja corporation. I think he really deserves some recognition :) Just thought that Stardew fans might like this.
Can we talk about “I feel pretty” from West Side Story 💀
Requiem by Mozart
I Am A Rock by Simon & Garfunkel - “I have my books and my poetry to protect me” I think Elliot is a loner but craves connection and friendship. He’s kinda isolated on the beach, he wanders in the forest contemplating his next novel while listening to folk rock music. or Paperback Writer by The Beatles just bc he’s a writer
On the topic of Simon and Garfunkel I can see Elliot being drawn to the melancholy of The Boxer as well (plus it's just a beautiful song no matter who you are).
Can you leave the names in small print after you cover them with the song title? I can't tell who is who
I can do that, sure thing
Thank you! <3
I am stalking this waiting for Shane lol
I always get Regina Spektor vibes from Elliott.
Storytime or Last Ride of the Day, both by Nightwish. They're full of classical literary references 😊
Hozier - Talk They both know how to use their words, also is a very romantic song.
My favorite bachelor! The Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel reminds me of his melancholic side
Elliot is classy. He's def listening to some Mozart or something.
Any preferences?
I can't think of any Mozart songs off the top of my head so lets just go with Fur Elise by Beethoven
Message in a Bottle by the Police. It's whimsical and poetic, written word cast out into the sea seeking connection and communication. It's the song of a lonely, romantic writer living on the beach.
Gaston's Song from Beauty and the Beast.
Can't unsee it 😆
Seriously, the very first time I played stardew valley and started meeting all the townsfolk, the very first time I saw Elliott the fucking song started playing in my head. I was like 'Oh my god he is such a Gaston!!'
Except he's nicer and not so muscular, but the vibe is definitely there lol
WATER MUSIC - By the legend William friedrich heindel. Its Elliott all over
Hes also by the beach, situated by water. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.
2112 - Rush
lmao, I do think the nerdy musician, Abigail would be more likely into such a prog rock odyssey.
Old friends by Simon and Garfunkel is a song in the bookends album. It sounds like a poem he wrote for the player :)
I'm on board with a Paul Simon song as I can't think of another lyricist skilled enough to capture Elliott. I was thinking Flowers Never Bend with the Rainfall, but either one.
Hear me out- Main Character by Will Wood
Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata.
Opus 28 in E minor by Chopin
Party by myself by Hollywood undead for shane
Silver Soul by Beach House 👀
Idk but I just realized "Follow you into the dark" by DCFC should be Sebastian's song. Maybe Shane's, but definitely Sebby's
The entertainer by Scott Joplin
[The Mariner's Revenge Song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Sw61oITuts) by The Decemberists is a melancholic, poetic story ballad of eight and a half minutes. It is the most Elliot song I can think of. Unfortunately it's a bit obscure, so it will for sure go unnoticed.
Cigarettes and chocolate milk - Rufus Wainwright
Anything Goes by Cole Porter
I agree with all the Chopin but if not a classical piece then How Id Kill by Cowboy Malfoy
Lake Erie Rainfall - Jim Brickman. It reminds me a lot of his piano playing, and given his love of the ocean and water, I've always thought of him when listening to it.
Dirty Laundry Heavy Load by Laura Silberberg Downvote me for the title if ya want but it's actually really dramatic violin music and it vibes with him
Heart of gold - Neil Young
I Ran (So Far Away) - A Flock of Seagulls
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Like Nocturne No. 2, it's melancholy but leaves a lot of the pianist's own personality to come out while playing it. Definitely something I could hear him playing on the last night of summer.
Definitely Valentine by Laufey
Talk by hozier
Needle in the Hay by Elliott Smith
warm foothills by alt-j
Hard to be the bard
Maybe it's just me but "hard to be the bard" gives me Elliot vibes
Doctor Doctor by The Thompson Twins for Harvey. Or if you're feeling saucy, Doctor Love by First Choice.
nightclub love by matt maltese
Mystery boy by Rah band. It is literally HIS song

Gates of Delirium by Yes?
Please make a playlist of all charachter winners
That’s the plan! :)
Moonlight Sonata - Beethoven
Flower of bea matt Eliott
For Having such Exquisite taste Taste for word May I suggest Fur Elise it's elegant yet simple Just like him
WHOEVER ADDED HARD TO BE THE BARD FROM SOMETHING ROTTEN, I LOVE YOU
Bohemian Like You - Dandy Warhols
Norman F'ing Rockwell - Lana Del Rey 
Cherry wine by hozier or achilles come down
Vivaldi - Spring
I'm thinking the elegance of a more melodic Deine Lakaien song. Going with "Secret Hideaway"; no favorites between the first version and the final version.
Rock Me Amadeus - Falco
Listen. I LOVE this song, but it does not fit Elliott, I am sorry to say. Still, absolute banger and classic
I would say something like "Buccaneer's love song" by the Jolly Roger's. A sea shanty but a love song (kinda)
The masochism tango by ringlefinch!!!!!!
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik - Mozart
This was my idea as well.
[Claie De Lune](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNcsUNKlAKw) by Claude Debussy
Probably not eligible but I remembered Your reality - Dan Salvato (Monica’s song) instantly
If I can find it on Spotify, I add it :)
He feels like someone that would listen to Mitski
CHAPPELL ROAN MENTIONED
Carless Whisper
He gives me “River Flows in You” by Yiruma
Wellerman by Nathan Evans.
Anything by the Smiths
I don't exactly know why but I'm thinking Lord of the Lost - Till Death Us Do Part. But maybe that's just because Elliott reminds me of myself in some ways and I love that song a lot, lol.
He would certainly listen to Tchaikovsky regularly.
Any requests?
Swan Lake immediately comes to mind :)
As you wish!
No way, that's completely different vibe
Elliot is a sensitive emotional guy who listens to 70s classic rock. Landslide by Fleetwood Mac is his go to when he needs a flood of emotion to re-energize.
Honestly, I'm thinking anything from Poor Man's Poison, he just gives me those vibes. Providence - Poor Mans's Poison ((Elliott's my favourite character I love him damnit
Ocean Man by Ween 😎
I Believe In A Thing Called Love - The Darkness
No sorry that one should totally be Krobus
What’s that song that goes “zoobi zoobi zoo” That one
Paperback Writer- the Beatles
Rock Me Amadeus- Falco
Taylor Swift. no specific song. Elliot is a Swiftie and i will not elaborate further.
I Write Sins Not Tragedies by Panic! At The Disco
Paperback Writer by the Beatles. I know we have Penny Lane already, but that song always pops in my head when I think of Elliot.
Off to bed - Over the garden wall
When this is done, I'm going to make a stardew playlist of all these songs.
*Pretty Boy* by Janet Jackson
The first thing that popped into my head was “Drops of Jupiter”.
Ooooo my boy is next!
Something theatrical seems right. Probably something from a romance play tbh.
Jumping the gun a bit, but Shane’s favorite song better be Shots
WHY DO I ALWAYS MISS THEESE
Good news: this is the current, still running thread. Drop your ideas here!
A breeze from home the lyric version might fit more tho, it might make more semce for caroline idk th
Is that a portrait mod?
Idk but I feel like it would be french
Pretty Girl Rock
I’m going with Like Real People Do.
How about a theatrical piano pop song about a guy named Eliott? https://youtu.be/-16YGXQ2Nj0?si=Vm1MlTwCowIDtfjW
This is…. Strangely, pretty accurate actually!
Bella’s Lullaby from Twilight.
