    SOUNDTRACK: Bound Together by Kate York feat. Vanyo & The Curse by Agnes Obel

    August 20, 2022 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Fallen Messengers: Spellbound by Ava Marie Salinger

    Bound Together by Kate York for a book about a teenage runaway and the ties that bind her.

    We’ll find a way home
    ‘Cause we’re bound together
    Looking up at the ceiling
    Holding onto a feeling
    That won’t seem to let go
    Every day falls behind us
    The shadows just remind us
    That we keep forgetting
    Take it all away
    We’ll stay, we’ll stay the same

    Soundtrack Fallen Messengers: Edge Lines by Ava Marie Salinger

    The Curse by Agnes Obel for a book about monsters who attack the various realms and the fallen who fought again them.

    It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle
    But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
    If they called on every soul in the land on the move

    Only then would they know a blessing in disguise

    The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
    And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

    August 20, 2022 / No Comments

    Living in a darker season
    It’s hard to keep believing
    That there is an ending
    We know the light will always find us
    The shadows just remind us

    That we keep forgetting
    Take it all away
    We’ll stay, we’ll stay the same
    Try try to shake us
    Try try to break us
    We’ll find a way up ‘cause we’re bound together

    High higher we’ll go Fight fire with hope
    We’ll find our way home
    ‘Cause we’re bound together We’re bound together (x2)
    We’ll find a way home
    ‘Cause we’re bound together
    Looking up at the ceiling
    Holding onto a feeling
    That won’t seem to let go
    Every day falls behind us
    The shadows just remind us
    That we keep forgetting
    Take it all away
    We’ll stay, we’ll stay the same
    Chorus
    we’re bound together (x2)
    we’ll find our way home ‘
    cause we’re bound together
    we’re bound together (x2)
    we’ll find our way home
    ‘cause we’re bound together

    And the people went into their hide, they oh
    From the start they didn’t know exactly why, why
    Winter came and made it so all look alike, look alike
    Underneath the grass would grow, aiming at the sky

    It was swift, it was just, another wave of a miracle
    But no one, nothing at all would go for the kill
    If they called on every soul in the land on the move

    Only then would they know a blessing in disguise

    The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
    And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
    The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
    And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before

    Tell me now of the very souls that look alike, look alike
    Do you know the stranglehold covering their eyes?
    If I call on every soul in the land on the move
    Tell me if I’ll ever know a blessing in disguise

    The curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
    And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
    And the curse ruled from the underground down by the shore
    And their hope grew with a hunger to live unlike before
