A/N: Below is the list of songs that I actually listen to during the writing of this project. Will be updating this whenever a new song becomes part of the playlist, and you could see some notes attributed to a few songs that actually touched me during the writing process.
This playlist is also compiled in Spotify under the playlist of "#ArtificialHorizon".

* * *
* 1-800-273-8255 by Logic ft. Alessia Cara & Khalid.
* Again by Dominique Simone.
* All Night by The Vamps ft. Matoma.
* All the Lights by By The Coast.
One of the songs that I definitely have in repeat while writing for the last few chapters. The melodrama of the songs of By The Coast adds some flavor and mood for those lines.
* All That You Are by Solid Audioworks.
* All Through the Night by Sleeping At Last.
* Already Gone by Sleeping At Last.
* Bad Blood by Welshly Arms.
* Baka Sakali by Ben&Ben ft. Ebe Dancel.
* Battle Cry by Imagine Dragons.
* Battlefield by SVRCINA.
* Bawat Daan by Ebe Dancel.
* Beautiful Disguise by Picture Me Broken.

* Caves by Haux.
* Ceasefire by for KING & COUNTRY.
* The Chain - 2004 Remaster by Fleetwood Mac.
* Cinema - Acoustic by Gary Go.
* Come Alive by Foo Fighters.
* Dangerous by Royal Deluxe.
One of the songs that I actually love as it reminds me of my first solo; hence, its upbeat music, like those few others in this list, are like the soundtrack of the Sixth Pursuit Squadron in the story.
* Dapit-Hapon by Ebe Dancel.
* Darling by Adam Barnes.
One of the songs that I attribute for the Reader and César. A respective lyric from the song is highly a recurring theme in the story, too; though one will need to squint to fully understand it.
* Dream's Lullaby by Larri Bea.
* Dreaming of You by By The Coast.
Definitely one of those songs that heavily inspired the story in total; but very much has a lasting impact at the ending of the story as I keep it in repeat for those last moments.
* Dynasty by MIIA.
* Empires by Ruelle.
* Everything by Secret Nation.
* Everything I Need by Skylar Grey.
* Fairytale by Alexander Rybak.
* Find Home by The Honey Trees.
* Fire and the Flood by Vance Joy.
A song that I often attributed to be a fitting one for the first chapters as it denotes the relation that the Reader has with Elian and César; and also an attribution to the difference between the two.
* Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron & Wine.
* Follow You by Imagine Dragons.
* Game of Survival by Ruelle.
* Give Me Your Forever by Zack Tabudlo.
* Glimpse of Us by Joji.
* Golden by Scars On 45.
* Happiest Year by Jaymes Young.
* Heaven by Natalia Kills.
* Heavenly by Cigarettes After Sex.
A song introduced to me by my dear friend, and now had been part of my inspired playlist for stories with a heavier tone of romance compared to my usual pinch of it.
* Heroes by Zayde Wølf.
* The Highest Tide by The Wealthy West.
* Home by Secret Nation.
* Huling Sandali by December Avenue.
* I Ain't Worried by OneRepublic.
* I Get to Love You by Ruelle.
* Ilang Tulog Na Lang by Ben&Ben.
* I'm Not Afraid by Tommee Profitt ft. Wondra.
* I'm Yours by Secret Nation.
This is a match along with another Secret Nation song entitled "You Are Mine". Definitely one of those that inspired the story entirely with how it had been a recurring motif for César and the Reader.
* Just Like You - Tom Player Remix by Celldweller ft. Tom Player.
* King And Lionheart by Of Monsters and Men.
* Kingdom Fall by Claire Wyndham.
* Kings and Queens and Vagabonds by Ellem.
* Lakambini - Version 1 by Ebe Dancel.
* Legend by The Score.
Along with the song "Dangerous" by Royal Deluxe, this was also used for our batch's compilation of our first solo. With both having a special place in my heart, it is only fitting to also correlate such songs to the Sixth Pursuit Squadron.
* Legendary by Welshly Arms.
* Legends Never Die by League of Legends ft. Against The Current.
* Leonora by Sugarcane.
Y/N's name in the original writing had been "Leonor", and upon listening to it, suddenly became part of the inspired playlist.
* Lifetime by Ben&Ben.
* Light by Sleeping At Last.
* Live Like Legends by Ruelle.
* Living Legend by Club Danger.
* Make You Feel by Alina Baraz ft. Galimatias.
* March: Hills to Climb by Tim Myers.

* The Ones We Once Loved by Ben&Ben.
* On My Way by Boyce Avenue.
* Paint It, Black by Ciara.
* Part of Me by By The Coast.
One of the songs that I have in repeat for the last few chapters of the story. Definitely worth it and fitting for the mood.
* Pasilyo by SunKissed Lola.
* Paubaya by Moira Dela Torre.
* Play with Fire by Sam Tineesz ft. Yacht Money.
* Ready Set Let's Go by Sam Tinnesz.
* Restless Heart by Jessie Early.
Upon hearing the song, it instantly reminded me of César and the Reader because... well, you'll know why when things came to an end.
* Revolution by The Score.
* Run to You by Lea Michele.
* Sa Susunod na Habang Buhay by Ben&Ben.
* Safe And Sound by Capital Cities.
* Scared to Death by KZ Tandingan.
* Scars by Boy Epic.
* Silhouette by Aquilo.
* Soldier by Fleurie ft. Tommee Profitt.
* Smooth Operator by sade.
* Tagpuan by Moira Dela Torre.
* Take Me Home by By The Coast.
A fitting song that I have quite in repeat just by the last chapters of the story. Definitely adds to the mood; after all, any song of By The Coast has that impact for those respective chapters.
* Tether Me by Galleaux.
* Til Death Do Us Part by Kait Weston.
* Time of Our Lives by Tyrone Wells.
* To Build a Home by Grace Page.

A match to that of another Secret Nation song mentioned above, "I'm Yours", which had been the first few songs that had been up there during the writing process. As a response to that other song, it is also a very recurring motif for César and the Reader.
* You Are My Release by Altitude Music.
* You Are The Reason by Calum Scott.
