1/? ive seen you discussing music/songs/singing etc in regards to arthur/eames a few times so i thought i'd share this thought i had earlier today...what if every time they go under with arthur as the dreamer eames catches snippets of love songs playing in the background (or vice versa but i totally headcanon arthur as being the music aficionado & his taste in music has RANGE. like he listens to everything from billie holiday to lady gaga to bruce springsteen to abba to limp bizkit etc

2/? anyway.. arthur and eames standing side by side in a dream observing the mark, just the two of us plays somewhere, next time it's everywhere by fleetwood mac, then kiss me by sixpence none the richer, then meet me halfway by the black eyed peas (listen it's a banger. also ever since i reheard an old song by them and heard them mention inception in it i've found myself being quite fond of them), lovely day by bill withers, fantasy by mariah carey, heatwaves by glass animals, crazy little

3/? thing called love by queen... the list goes on... and then it's like the baader meinhof phenomenon where it starts passing over to real life. eames watching arthur walking away after splitting up after a successful job: ain't no sunshine plays in the bar where he's sipping his drink. after answering a call from arthur which eames only realises after he's hung up wasn't even job related and was simply a catch up- stevie wonder's i just called to say i love you starts playing on the car

4/4 radio. after a long time without a job together, eames walks into a warehouse and the minute his eyes meet arthur's across the room it must be love by the madness starts tinnily playing on ariadne's playlist. anyway. i love music and i love them so!

Nonnie I am making a note of all of these, I am obsessed with the idea that one of them might hear snippets of love songs both in dreams and in life, especially if they are the dreamer - like our brains are so whacky and our subconscious seems so unique and out of our control who's to say this couldn't happen? (Now I'm imagining someones projections breaking out into song and the dreamer telling them, embarrassedly, to shut up) aha - this is so brilliant!!! I must know if they keep hearing songs when Arthur and Eames get together!
