“In My Feelings”

From Lana’s fifth studio album, Lust for Life, is “In My Feelings“. I chose this song for one of the most important scenes in the entire play: the argument between the family members. I imagine the entirety of the chorus playing as the family is screaming and shouting at each other, with the music almost playing over them at times. ‘Cause you got me in my feelings. (Got me feeling so much right now). Talkin’ in my sleep again. (I’m makin’ no sense at all). Drown out all our screamin’. (Got me feelin’ so crazy right now). Who’s doper than this bitch? Who’s freer than me? You wanna make the switch? Be my guest, baby. I’m feelin’ all my fuckin’ feelings”. The scene itself is a confluence of many potent emotions and is perhaps the climax of the story. The song expresses many emotions, including lust, anger, sadness, boldness, regret among others, while the scene expresses rage, hatred, misery, etc. The line “‘Cause you got me in my feelings.” would start playing as soon as the argument breaks out, and it would end as Linda calls Biff the “scum of the earth.” This song is primarily intended for Linda, but Happy and Biff are also connectable to it. The line focusing on freedom relates to both to Linda and Biff, as both want to achieve freedom from the current situation that they have gotten trapped in. Linda wants freedom from her children, and Biff wants the freedom to do what makes him happy, as well as freedom from his father’s insanity.
