Soundtrack to Secrets and Scrabble: Lament at Loon Landing by Josh Lanyon

Loon by Volody for a book about a folk singer and her lying, cheating, stealing manager/husband.

oh it’s a pity
you gotta treat me this way
I maybe crazy
but darling you made me that way

one day you say you love me and you never let go
the next day I found my life on the block(?)
voices in my head they say I ought to let you go

perhaps some sleep might do me good
I’ve been cockled at best
but when I close my bloodshot eyes
and rest my weary head

Soundtrack to Secrets and Scrabble: Death at the Deep Dive by Josh Lanyon

Dive by Olivia Dean for a book about a police chief taking the plunge and his amateur sleuth boyfriend who made it worth it.

It’s so crazy
Lately you just understand my feelings
Make me see I’m capable and fine
And feeling beautified
Tonight, I’m ready to dive

Maybe it’s the loving in your eyes (I’m here, see through)
Maybe it’s the magic in the wine (I’m feeling loose)
Maybe it’s the fact that every time I fall, I lose it all
But you got me from my head to my feet
And I’m ready to dive
