I don't like the way he's looking at you

I'm starting to think you want him too

Am I crazy? Have I lost ya?

Even though I know you love me, can't help it

Huh, I turn my chin, music up

And I'm puffing my chest

I'm getting red in the face you

Can call me obsessed

It's not your fault that they hover

I mean no disrespect

It's my right to be hellish

I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy beautiful

Everybody wants a taste, that's why

I still get jealous

'Cause you're too sexy beautiful

Everybody wants a taste, that's why

I still get jealous

I can think of younger days when living for my life

Was everything a girl could want to do

I could never see tomorrow, but I was never told about the sorrow

How can you stop the rain from falling down?

How can you stop the sun from shining?

What makes the world go round?

And how can you mend this broken man?

How can a loser ever win?

Please help me mend my broken heart and let me live again

**"New York State of Mind"** by Billy Joel is a heart song featured in "Zoey's Extraordinary Double Date," the eleventh episode of Season Two of *Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.* This heart song was sung by Max Richman.

## Heart Song Meaning

After asking Simon about his engagement to Jessica, Rose apologizes for overstepping and says New Yorkers don't have filters, which is one of the reasons the East Coast is the best coast. Simon objects to this, and the two have a lighthearted argument about which coast is better. Zoey points out that Max has lived on both coasts and says he has the most well-informed point of view. Max immediately starts singing "New York State of Mind," which catches Zoey off guard. After the song ends, Max says both coasts are great, but Zoey insists that he seems like he's in a New York mindset. Max admits that he's thinking of going back there for a while to run a pop-up restaurant for MaxiMo, which greatly upsets Zoey and leads to her overreacting.

Zoey goes to MaxiMo to apologize for her behavior on the double date and encourages him to do the pop-up restaurant in New York, saying she'll be there to support him whenever he returns. Max says they can't keep doing this and that they're never going to grow if they don't break out of the cycle they're in. He asks for space, and Zoey tearfully says that he can get away from her in New York, if he decides to go. Max says he'll let her know when he does. As Zoey walks out, however, she hears Max reprise "New York State of Mind," seemingly set on making the trip back to the East Coast.

## Lyrics

### Original

Some folks like to get away

Take a holiday from the neighborhood

Hop a flight to Miami Beach

Or to Hollywood

But I'm taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River Line

I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day

Out of touch with the rhythm and blues

But now I need a little give and take

The New York Times, The Daily News, woah

It comes down to reality

And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide

I don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside

I don't have any reasons

I've left them all behind

I'm in a New York state of mind, mm

### Reprise

I'm just taking a Greyhound

On the Hudson River Line

I'm in a New York state of mind

Zoey's Extraordinary Girls' Night

**Zoey's Extraordinary Girls' Night** is the tenth episode of Season Two and twenty-second episode overall of *Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.* It aired on April 18, 2021.

## Episode Summary

Zoey gets more than she bargained for when she tries to help Emily with a problem. Maggie reconnects with an old friend. Max, Simon and Mo have a bonding night together.

## Plot

Handing a teary-eyed Emily a tissue, Zoey tells her it's going to be okay. Emily apologizes to Zoey for bothering her, and Zoey reassures her she is not a bother at all. When David peeks into Miles' nursery and says he's running out, Emily paints on a smile and pretends like nothing's wrong. After David leaves, Emily apologizes to Zoey again and tries to downplay her emotions. Emily starts putting makeup under her eyes, prompting Zoey to ask what she is doing. Emily says she doesn't want David to worry.

Maggie opens up to Deb about feeling isolated from Mitch's and her couple friends, and Deb takes her to a casino to help her let loose for a night. While Zoey has a girls' night with Emily, Max, Simon, and Mo all hang out at Mo's apartment and open up to each other about their respective romantic woes. Mo laments that Perry does not want him to meet his kids yet; though he tries to play it cool with Rose, Max is saddened by the idea of having to break up with her when she leaves for New York; and Simon feels like Zoey is pulling away from him. Meanwhile, Zoey still has not told Simon about her powers. After their night out together, Emily admits to Zoey that she thinks she is suffering from postpartum depression. Emily opens up to David about her struggles with postpartum depression and says she needs professional help. Zoey, wrestling with her own issues with her power, her grief, and her relationships, goes to see a therapist and tells him about her powers.

You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
If this world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Like a rainbow

## Heart Song Meaning

Zoey is seen singing this heart-song in the reflections of objects like her mirror and her toaster at the beginning of "Zoey's Extraordinary Dad." She takes this to mean that something bad is going to happen, and runs to tell Mo that she thinks she's singing out loud again. Throughout the rest of the episode, Zoey asks her friends and family whether everything is okay with them, hoping that the "bad moon rising" doesn't mean a bad omen for one of them. When she is eating cheesequakes with Max, a ceiling lamp falls down on their table, nearly landing on Zoey's head. Zoey's fears about this song continue until she is hooking up with Max and receives a call from Howie. It is implied that Howie was telling Zoey her father was about to die, after which she said that the bad moon rose.

## Lyrics

I see a bad moon a-rising

I see trouble on the way

I see earthquakes and lightnin'

I see bad times today

Don't go 'round tonight

Well, it's bound to take your life

There's a bad moon on the rise

When friends come to call

It's the hap-happiest season of all

There'll be parties for hosting

And caroling out in the snow

There'll be scary ghost stories

And tales of the glories of

Adrift in a world of my own

**Mo:**

STOP! This will never work. Let's show them what we can really do.

You're here where you should be

Snow is falling as the carolers sing

It just wasn't the same

Alone on Christmas day

Presents, what a beautiful sight

Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight

You're all that I need

Underneath the tree

Tonight, I'm gonna hold you close

Make sure that you know

I was lost before you

Christmas was cold and grey

Another holiday

Alone to celebrate

But then, one day, everything changed

You're all I need

Underneath the tree

You're here where you should be

Snow is falling as the carolers sing

It just wasn't the same

Alone on Christmas day

Presents, what a beautiful sight

Don't mean a thing if you ain't holding me tight

You're all that I need

Underneath the tree

Birds flying high

You know how I feel

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea

You know how I feel

Rivers running free

You know how I feel

Blossom on the tree

You know how I feel

It's a new dawn

It's a new day

It's a new life

For me

And I'm feeling good
Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

**"Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,"** written by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane and originally sung by Judy Garland in the musical *Meet Me In St. Louis,* is a song featured in *Zoey's Extraordinary Christmas.* Zoey's father, Mitch, sings this song to her in a dream.

## Context

After trying to plan Christmas Eve down to the smallest detail in honor of her father, Zoey is disappointed when nothing goes as planned: Max invites Jack, Zoey sees her mother kissing Jack beneath the mistletoe, and, finally, Jack accidentally knocks over and breaks the Clarkes' cherished snow globe. That night, while Zoey is asleep, she sees her father in a black-and-white dream, reminiscent of the old Christmas movies he used to like. Mitch reassures Zoey that no Christmas when he was alive was perfect and encourages her to make some new memories.

## Lyrics

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

From now on

Our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

From now on

Our troubles will be miles away

Through the years

We'll always be together

If the Fates allow

Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

Have yourself a merry little Christmas now

Let's Get Loud

**"Tainted Love"** by Soft Cell is a heart song featured in "Zoey's Extraordinary Memory," the seventh episode of Season Two of *Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist.* This heart song was sung by Leif Donnelly.

## Heart Song Meaning

While in the car on their way to Zoey's stargazing spot, Leif receives a phone call from someone named Kaia. Tobin encourages him to answer the call, but Leif mutters that she can leave a message. Later, when they arrive at the spot, Leif sees that Kaia has left him a voicemail. When Tobin looks into Zoey's telescope and notices something interesting, Zoey taps him on the shoulder and tells him to let her look. However, Zoey's attention is pulled away by the sound of an instrumental and Leif dancing. Leif then sings "Tainted Love," which holds Zoey's attention until Tobin yells her name, breaking her out of the heart song. The next day, Zoey mentions to Leif that he seemed distracted by Kaia's call. Leif explains that he met Kaia online and went on a date with her, but she left the date early. Though Leif seems reluctant to reconnect with Kaia, Zoey encourages him to ask her out again.

## Lyrics

Sometimes I feel I've got to

Run away I've got to

Get away

From the pain you drive into the heart of me

The love we share

Seems to go nowhere

And I lost my light

For I toss and turn I can't sleep at night

Once I ran to you

Now, I'll run from you

This tainted love you've given

I give you all a boy could give you

Take my tears and that's not nearly all

Oh, tainted love

Tainted love

Don't touch me please

I cannot stand the way you

## Lyrics

Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall

Hope when the water rises, you built a wall

Hope when the crowd screams out, it's screaming your name

Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad

The only way you can know is give it all you have

And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain

Hope when the moment comes, you'll say

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second that this world could give

I saw so many places, the things that I did

With every broken bone, I swear I lived

I don't need nobody, not anybody

My loneliness ain't killing me no more

## Lyrics

**Mo:**

As I lay me down

Heaven hear me now

I'm lost without a cause

After giving it my all

Winter storms have come

And darkened my sun

After all that I've been through

Who on earth can I turn to

**Mo and Choir:**

I look to you

I look to you

After all my strength is gone (*Strength is gone)*

In you I can be strong

I look to you

I look to you

Yeah

And when melodies are gone

In you I hear a song

I look to you

I look to you

I look to you

While staying late one night to work on the bug in the SPRQ Point Watch, Zoey sees Simon singing "Mad World" alone in his office. While singing, he clutches a photograph, which is later revealed to be of him and his father, who died by suicide five months earlier. Zoey is taken aback by this, as she believes Simon to be a perfect, happy person. When Zoey tells Mo this, Mo says that the song may be Simon's cry for help. The following day at work, Zoey approaches Simon, awkwardly tells him that her father is dying, and asks if he is secretly miserable. Later, Zoey expresses guilt to her mother for the way she used the information she should not have known about Simon to get close to him.

"Zoey's Extraordinary Outburst"
This is the second time Simon sings "Mad World" in the show and the first since "Pilot." After Zoey comes to his new apartment for dinner following his breakup with Jessica, Simon goes into the kitchen to finish dinner. However, Zoey overhears him singing and sees him reprising "Mad World." After Simon finishes singing, Zoey says she should leave, remarking that she thought Simon was ready for something new, but he is just singing the same old song. Later, Zoey chastises Simon for his constant grieving, calling it "boring," and the two get into a heated argument.

## Lyrics

All around me are familiar faces

Worn out places, worn out faces

Bright and early for their daily races

Going nowhere, going nowhere

Their tears are filling up their glasses

No expression, no expression

Hide my head, I want to drown my sorrow

No tomorrow, no tomorrow

And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad

The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I ever had

I find it hard to tell you, I find it hard to take

When people run in circles it's a very very

Mad world, mad world

## Lyrics

I'm lying alone with my head on the phone

Thinking of you till it hurts

I know you hurt too but what else can we do

Tormented and torn apart

I wish I could carry your smile and my heart

For times when my life seems so low

It would make me believe what tomorrow could bring

When today doesn't really know, doesn't really know

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right believing for so long

I'm all out of love, what am I without you

I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong

I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you

I know you were right believing for so long

I'm all out of love, what am I without you

I can't be too late to say that I was so wrong
