My Colorblind Rainbow's Protagonist Names Her Song Choices

Soundtrack Feature for Protags
Chanel Hardy



Chanel's confession? "I love Kitties!"

    • What song illustrates the protagonist's state of mind near the beginning of the book?

Ruth Etting - I'm Nobody's Baby This song illustrates Rose’s state of mind as she is introduced 
in chapter 2. She struggles with escaping the expectations of her parents and wanting to live her 
own life. I picked this song, along with all the others particularly because of the setting of my 
story.

    • What song would your protagonist crank the radio up for?

Louis Armstrong - When the Saints Go Marching In Rose was a fan of Louis Armstrong, and 
so was Darlene. It’s one of the things they had in common. They listened to his music when 
they spent time together.

    • What song would your protagonist dedicate to the antagonist?

Ruth Etting - Dancing with Tears in My Eyes Rose would dedicate this song to Darlene, 
for reasons I won’t mention because SPOILERS! But it represents how their relationship has 
grown throughout the story.



Billie Holiday-Strange Fruit This song, Darlene would dedicate to her family. Darlene 
struggled with coming to terms with her feelings for Rose, and how those feelings would 
affect her relationships with God and family. It was also a favorite of hers.

    • What song does your protagonist want to have playing at their funeral?

Billie Holiday - Don't Explain For both Darlene and Rose. For living their lives 
unapologetically.
