    SOUNDTRACK: The Healing by Carfax Abbey & Never Tear Us Apart by INXS

    December 18, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Paranormal Princes: The Prince and His Captivating Carpenter by Charlie Cochet

    For The Prince and His Captivating Carpenter, I went for a song that spoke about healing. The lyrics talks about fear, being suffocated, being in the dark, losing purpose and begging to be healed. It ends with “My eyes are wide open“. Basically, all the things Bernd experienced in the story.

    Soundtrack to Paranormal Princes: The King and His Vigilant Valet by Charlie Cochet

    I hate saxophones in songs but this 80s hit was practically made for The King and His Vigilant Valet. From the opening “Don’t ask me/ What you know is true / Don’t have to tell you / I love your precious heart” to “Two worlds collided/ And they could never tear us apart” to “We could live / For a thousand years / But if I hurt you / I’d make wine from your tears“…well, you get the picture.

    SOUNDTRACK: Used To The Darkness by Des Rocs

    December 15, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Handled by Romilly King

    Used To The Darkness is my favorite Des Rocs song. The first time I heard it, I knew it would make a good bookish soundtrack. I’ve been saving it for that perfect book. Handled is that book. I see the song reflecting the way Nathan’s perspectives and attitude evolved while interacting with Gray in his first Witnessing assigning.

    SOUNDTRACK: Dance With Me by Alphaville

    December 11, 2020 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Joker’s Sin: My Whole World by Davidson King

    Check out the ballad version:

    I’ve talked about why I chose a certain song for a book in my monthly wrap-up. I realized I should do it here or else people won’t know what I’m talking about.

    For My Whole World (and the Joker’s Sin series as a whole), I wanted a song that had something to do with clubs or dancing. Dance With Me is from the 80s, a decade known for it’s hedonistic club scenes. It describes the experience in that very danceable new wave style. I could see this song being played in the Joker’s Sin‘s 80s night theme. The ballad version had a melancholy vibe that matched the lyrics that talks about losing oneself in a dance. This is Atlas and Toby caught in that moment when they were dancing on stage.
