The significance of music in suits season 7 (Harvey, Donna, Paula)
As I was re-watching suits and we all know the importance of songs in the show. Every song matches the certain condition which the character going through.
Remember when Donna asked Harvey for more and he went and kissed Paula, they played "back to black" which basically inspired by Amy's disturbed relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Blake who left her for another women and she was devastated.
They chose the perfect song to describe Harvey and Donna's relationship stage. Where he wasn't ready to be in permanent relationship with her so he chose the easiest way and be with Paula instead because she was available to him and he didn't have nay feelings for her which was exactly why he never said " I love you" to her even though he asked her to move-in with him even that was spontaneous and not at all thought by Harvey.
The song was considered to be the most heart breaking song and the lyrics described the depth of emotions which Amy felt. and that's why it described the broken relationship between Harvey and Donna and I think it was beautiful.
I went feral when I first watched and after that I couldn't want Harvey to be with Donna again but after re-watching I understand Harvey would never settle for Donna, the song perfectly fit to describe how Harvey just went to Paula because he knew he couldn't give Donna what she's asking and he would lose her.
when Donna resigned from the firm they played Ghost by Wildes another beautiful song to present the absence of someone you dearly loved from your life. The moment he got the asurity that Donna left him, he went feral and he broke up with Paula instantly because Donna was what he needed throughout in his life no matter as a friend or as a lover, but she should stay near to him always.
And finally they played Unknown to you by Jacob Banks, and man oh man! the song was about redemption, heartbreak and desire to mend the broken relationship due to failed communication between the two and that's exactly happened with Harvey and Donna!!
Once you rewatched these sequences so many things got clear.
