6. The So-called Music (My So-Called Life)
The songs featured in MSCL are more like supporting characters than
just background fillers. The lyrics often fit the moment perfectly,
and the music usually complements the atmosphere of the scene.
These are songs that have been used in MSCL. Where possible, the
scenes you can hear the songs in have been indicated, along with the
episode number. This has been compiled with much help from the MSCL
list and MSCL Music Guru Misty Jones.
