What song do you think fits best jonawagon?

Hi, nonny! In all honesty, I can't pick just one, not even if I had to, so I'm going to be mean and give you all the songs that I can remember that fit them instead >:D Warning: it's gonna be long, but i hope that’s okay!

Can't Fight This Feeling - REO Speedwagon. This one's a given and I'm convinced Araki drew a lot of inspiration from it to create Robert and the relationship between him and Jonathan.

Side mention to Keep On Lovin' You, also by REO. The song as a whole is not actually a love song but these lines "And I meant Every word I said When I said that I loved you I meant that I loved you forever And I'm gonna keep on lovin' you 'Cause it's the only thing I want to do I don't want to sleep, I just want to keep on lovin' you"? 100000% jonawagon energy. Same can be said about a lot other REO songs btw (hence why I'm convinced that Araki took a lot of inspo for the character and his relationship with Jonathan from this band and their music). Speaking of yet another REO song that fits them so so so good...

All Heaven Broke Loose - REO Speedwagon. "It hit me like a shot right out of the blue All heaven broke loose I was shaken by the power of love Taken by the power of you". There’s a jonawagon fanfic named after this song and my life has never been the same since ;v;

Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Boys Town Gang. Listen to the whole song and tell me it doesn't fit them.

Last Rose Of Summer - Judas Priest. "I give you this, the last rose of summer. A token of my unyielding love. So when the winter's mantle stills the earth And all around seems dead and cold This rose reminds you of a time when all was warm and living". Those lines always make me think of them. The fact that Judas' singer is some gay british gentleman named Robert is just a little bonus lol.

Baby, I love you - Ramones. The Ronettes' original version also works but I feel the "punks in love" touch the Ramones gave it fits Speedwagon better since that's pretty much what he is in PB, lol.

I'm Affected - Ramones. I feel this one fits better from Jonathan's perspective due to the "When I look into your big brown eyes" line.

Safe Home - Anthrax. This song. I have so many jonawagon feels about it. The acoustic version is amazing and fits them like a glove.

Digital Love - Daft Punk. I feel this one fits them during their pining/yearning stage.

Something About Us - Daft Punk. I feel like it hits right in the feels for these two during their pining/yearning stage too but just right when the time to confess their feelings comes. The song leaves it a little open since its not precisely a sad song, so the feelings can be totally requited on both ends. It's that uncertainty and self-consciousness from both sides (bc yeah, after all the abuse and overly difficult life at home Jonathan had to endure, there is no way he doesn't suffer from any side effects to it).

Kiss From A Rose - Seal. An anon brought this one up time ago and yesss. All of the yessssss.

To Be Alone With You - Sufjan Stevens. Another kind anon suggested this one and I feel like it hits right for them

Amor Eterno - Juan Gabriel. This is a song in Spanish. The author/singer of this song was a gay man and there are countless rumours that this song was written and dedicated to a man he was in love with. The man died a tragic death, with the event leaving the singer so affected, because he loved him so much. This is basically the song you rip your entire heart out with when the love of your life has died. So, yeah. 10000% jonawagon feels right there. (i will try to post a translation of the lyrics of this song so y'all get the full image and extent of this). Speaking of Juan Gabriel, there is at least another one of his songs I feel fits the ship:

Te Lo Pido Por Favor - Juan Gabriel. A translated snippet of it goes more or less like: "How can I repay you for everything you do for me, all this happiness, all this immense love? Only with my life. Well, here's my life. I'm giving it to you."

Love Me Like There's No Tomorrow - Freddie Mercury. Lots of feels. So many of them.

Yell! - Amano Yuri. "No matter when, my warm hands should surely heal your wounds." The song comes from Yu Yu Hakusho and is performed by the main character's love interest who, much like Speedwagon, is forced to remain on the sidelines, watching as the man she loves fights for his life.

Laguna Sunrise - Black Sabbath. I feel like the vibe fits them very well.

Planet Caravan - Black Sabbath. Same as the previous one. Also, composer of the song, Geezer Butler, said: "the song is about floating through the universe with one's lover." So, yeah~

Love Talkin' - Tatsuro Yamashita. Just change pronouns accordingly and voilá~

Mr. DejaVu - Naja. "You showed me true kindness for the first time What I withheld cannot be given now; the moonlight frosts me over I couldn't even say goodbye Don't let me be alone Even if there is no eternity I'll believe in the red thread"

Endless Love - Megumi Ogata. "I kiss those eyelids that will never open again. Tonight, you are going on a journey into eternity. It isn’t too cruel, even if you live on a different star, beyond hundreds of billions of hours. Love Forever I’m sure I will find you because I will never forget you. My love for you will last forever. Love Forever"

Turn On Your Light - Judas Priest. The song is so sweet. One of the few ballads Judas has ever done and it hits the mighty jonawagon feels just right~

Sayonara Wa Iwanai - PERSONZ. "Sepia colored memories, decorations that wipe away my tears. Those are words from the bottom of my heart. I won’t see you again. I don’t want to think about that, that’s why I decided not to do it. No matter what, ¡never forget! No matter what, I won’t say goodbye now. Never say goodbye, because we will see each other again one day, smiling."

500 Miles - The Proclaimers. "And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you"

Do You Want To Know A Secret - The Beatles. "Let me whisper in your ear Say the words you long to hear I'm in love with you~"

An Angel Is Missing - Ronnie Dio And The Red Caps. Change pronouns and etc accordingly and it totally fits them~

Hand In Glove - The Smiths. Basically, requited but doomed (gay) love the way only The Smiths can do it. Bittersweet and with that Gay British touch to it.

My Love Life - Morrissey. This would be in Robert's POV. I've said it before, but this song could work great as the prequel to the next one...

I Can Have Both - Morrissey. Which would be about Jonathan finding out that he is in love with both Erina and Speedwagon. Basically, Jonathan coming to terms with being bi and polyam.

Hazme Sentir - Austin TV. Instrumental song. The title translates as "Make me feel". Despite the obvious title, give it a listen and you'll understand why it's here c:

There are a lot more that are escaping me right now along with some others that are 100% pining/yearning material and All Of The Sad Feels, but I decided to leave most of the sad ones out for now because Jonathan and Speedwagon deserve to be happy. Give me a few minutes and I'll put links to all the songs in a reblog of this post for everyone who wants to check any of the songs listed here! can't add external links or tumgle will do The Thing to the post.

Also!! and this goes to everyone reading this: by all means, please feel free to drop more song recs for the ship either here or in my ask box anytime!!
