Bernadette wasn't someone I could easily find music for, mostly because I felt there wasn't a lot that suited her. Most empowered-women songs I felt were either too poppish and not refined enough, since she is a Classy Lady, and most bitter-woman songs had the same problem. She does not loudly vent her anger to the clouds, she subtly plots revenge. In fact, I only have ONE song to write with her, and it's an instrumental piano piece that I close simply because it goes along with a movie that features a large European manor.
Parker surprisingly needed VERY little music for writing, but I liked having it on in the background anyways. Stuff from the Les Miserables soundtrack was a given, and finding other music from him was fairly easy. Not many songs dealing with love and sex, since he's not interested, but punk'ish ones or songs about making change are easy to come by.
