And it really hit me listening to this song, thinking about their relationship and Rachel’s reputation around Arcadia Bay, that Chloe is probably one of the only people who truly cared about her and still thinks about her every single day, despite the seemingly hundreds of missing person posters that have been plastered all over the Bay. Nobody has any idea where Rachel Amber is. To me, there are two lines in this song that truly make you realise the real weight and meaning of this song to Chloe: Chloe is a character who has dealt with what she feels is abandonment many times and despite Rachel being missing, she still looks at it as though she also abandoned her. The heartbreak she feels as she talks about the impact that she had on her life leading up to her sudden disappearance is evident and really makes you feel her pain and loss, almost as if it were your own. She mentions Rachel being important to her in many ways, even going so far as to say that Rachel saved her life. The song plays immediately after the scene in which Chloe recounts the chapter of her life in which Rachel Amber was present. Santa Monica Dream is a slow, sombre song about the aftermath of a heart-breaking separation between two people who were once very close. I feel the need to begin this one by saying how much I love and feel for Chloe Price and if there was ever going to be a song that served to heighten those feelings, it would have to be this one. There’s a lot more I could say about this game as what I’ve just summed up barely scratches the surface, but I’m trying not to delve into spoiler territory just in case any of you would like to pick it up and play it for yourself which, of course, I highly recommend. In the meantime, Max has a premonition about Arcadia Bay being destroyed by a storm. Chloe tells Max about her close friend/love interest Rachel Amber who went missing and the two set out to uncover the truth about her disappearance. She returns to her hometown of Arcadia Bay and is reunited with her former best friend, Chloe Price. Early in the game she learns that she can rewind time - a power, some could say, that she majorly abuses. It revolves mainly around Max Caulfield, a talented 18-year-old girl with a dream of becoming a famous photographer.
Life is Strange is a game in which the main story and ending are both impacted by the choices the player makes throughout. Life is Strange - Santa Monica Dream by Angus & Julia Stone I've also linked the songs through the titles so you can give them a listen on Spotify if you'd like. Before we dive in, just in case anyone reading these isn’t familiar with the games I’ve mentioned, I've included short-ish summaries of each game before I proceed to talk through the songs I’ve listed to hopefully give a bit of context.
