    SOUNDTRACK: Only For You by Heartless Bastards, Now That I’ve Found You by Liam Gallagher & Every Side of You by Vance Joy

    January 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Secrets and Scrabble: Mystery at the Masquerade by Josh Lanyon

    Only For You by Heartless Bastards for a book about a grieving police chief taking a chance at a mild-mannered bookstore owner who risked his life to uncover the truth

    It’s been a while since I felt this way about someone
    I’d really really like to know you more, know you more
    Oh your eyes they sing a song to me
    And I’d really really like to move to it, groove

    And I will open my heart
    And I will only for you

    Soundtrack to Secrets and Scrabble: Scandal at the Salty Dog by Josh Lanyon

    Now That I’ve Found You by Liam Gallagher for a book about friends turned lovers and the question of commitment.

    I’ll take an ocean in my stride
    Steal the stars and hitch a ride
    To your door
    And time builds a bridge through our bloodlines
    From the roots, we’ll watch love rise
    Heaven knows how it grows

    Now that I’ve found you
    Now that I’ve found you
    I won’t let go
    Let my love surround you
    Now that I’ve found you
    I can lay down with my ghost

    Soundtrack to Secrets and Scrabble: Body at Buccaneer’s Bay by Josh Lanyon

    Every Side of You by Vance Joy for a book about when you know you found a keeper.

    Yeah, I don’t know what tomorrow knows, where these feelings go
    But I plan on being ’round, time is nothing when you look at me
    Can’t you see this thing’s meant to go on way past right now?

    Oh your eyes they sing a song to me
    And I’d really really like to move to it, groove

    And I will open my heart
    And I will only for you

    Oh your eyes they’re spinning round my head
    And oh, oh this light is on, ooh yeah, on ooh yeah
    Oh your eyes they’re spinning round my head
    And oh, oh this light is on, ooh yeah, on ooh

    And I will open my heart
    And I will only for you

    And I just don’t know what to do
    My head has such a cloudy view
    I’m so tired of trying
    And I just don’t know what to do
    My head has such a cloudy view
    I’m so tired of trying

    Oh your eyes they’re spinning round my head

    Now that I’ve found you
    I can lay down with my ghost

    Now that I’ve found you, don’t go
    Don’t go

    I’ll be the branch that breaks your fall
    If you need me, make the call
    I’ll be there
    And I know it’s late for lullabies
    But the future’s yours and mine
    Now and for evermore

    Now that I’ve found you
    Now that I’ve found you
    I won’t let go
    Let my love surround you
    Now that I’ve found you
    I can lay down with my ghost

    (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Now that I’ve found you, don’t go
    Don’t go
    (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

    Now that I’ve found you
    Now that I’ve found you
    I won’t let go
    Let my love surround you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Now that I’ve found you
    I can lay down with my ghost

    (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Now that I’ve found you, don’t go

    Yeah, I wanna be on your mind, when the stars ignite
    When the summer night unfolds, yeah, I wanna take a picture now
    When the lights go down and our senses all take hold

    Thought I was the same kind of guy
    Strong and silent type
    But you got me talking now, yeah, it’s in the way you look at me
    I can see that you feel everything I feel

    And it’s no surprise
    When you’re this close, every touch is amplified
    I don’t know when we’ll be here again, so I memorize
    Every inch of your body, show me every side
    Of you

    Yeah, I don’t know what tomorrow knows, where these feelings go
    But I plan on being ’round, time is nothing when you look at me
    Can’t you see this thing’s meant to go on way past right now?

    And it’s no surprise
    When you’re this close, every touch is amplified
    I don’t know when we’ll be here again, so I memorized
    Every inch of your body, show me every side
    Of you

    Show me every side
    Of you

    Every shape and every color that I found
    I can hardly see a world without you now
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

    And it’s no surprise
    When you’re this close, every touch is amplified
    I don’t know when we’ll be here again, so I memorized
    Every inch of your body, show me every side
    Of you

    Show me every side, of you
    Of you
    Show me every side
    Of you
