    Soundtrack to Sweet by Howl Avery

    Got You (Where I Want You) by The Flys for a book about secret identities, kink exploration, mutual obsession, and catching flies with honey.

    Suffer, suffer

    Suffer, suffer
    Me don’t get no rougher
    When me rock me, baby
    Put me pain on me, lover

    Well, I think you’re smart
    You sweet thing
    Tell me your name
    I’m dying here

    …

    Got you where I want you
    I’ve got you where I want you
    Got you where I want you

    SOUNDTRACK: Dare by The Mary Onettes

    May 31, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to The Firm: Covenant by Cora Rose & Lark Taylor

    Dare by The Mary Odettes for a book about a desperate request for help, an awakening of being and a second chance for a connection that began with “I dare you.”

    Those where the darkest hours of them all.
    And I can easily say I had no love.
    I see myself outside it all, but somehow I’m always there.
    Cause all I know is what I bare. 

    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I know. Returning here
    ain’t that hard, despite my fear.

    SOUNDTRACK: Endless Light by O’Brother

    May 24, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to A Sea Of Endless Light by Chani Lynn Feener

    Endless Light by O’Brother for a book where the last of his kind found a reason to go on.

    So in my life
    There is no greater relief
    Than drifting through time
    Weightless in the wake
    I made up my mind and left my body to be
    So I might find the home that I made
    Enter my blood and raise me up
    That I may be remade in light
    And I will burst apart

    I won’t slowly fade into something else
    No, I won’t slowly fade into something else
    I thought that I could change
    I was clearly wrong
    This world that I create is where I belong

    Breathe by Christian Cohle for a book about the light giving life to shadows.

    Light
    Joins into the water
    I fall in love
    My pain is like a tower
    I’d cry
    If I could

    Breathe life into me
    I‘m broke can’t you see?
    I need your light
    I need your light
    Breathe life into me
    I’m lost don’t you see?

    Soundtrack to The Gentleman and His Vowsmith by Rebecca Ide

    Promised You A Miracle by Simple Minds for a book about childhood loves, estranged families, bitter rivals, and promised lives.


    As golden days break wondering
    Chance reflects on them a while
    Love screams so quietly
    Slipping back on golden times
    Breathing with sweet memories
    Promised you a miracle
    Belief is a beauty thing

    He controls on love
    Life mirrors a cure
    Everything is possible in the game of life
    Everything is possible
    Oh no
    Chance lost pearls of great price
    Take care of family
    Only aches for love

    Not Alone by Otto Knows for a book about a boy, scarred and scared, finding hidden strengths and rediscovering a family.

    An army marching underneath my skin
    The scars are just a map of where I’ve been

    …

    It’s a long, long way to miracle
    But I promised my soul that I’d make it back home
    Through the fires of Jericho
    It’s a long, long way to miracle
    Just to let you know

    Fortunately by Mokita for a book about a pretense, a gamble, a dalliance and a security.

    Like an illusion they don’t see
    Keep building castles against the wind out on the beach
    All my mistakes in front of me
    Send me a lifeboat the second that I drift way too deep

    …

    I had to believe
    That I had somewhere to fall
    Fortunately

    Right from the start
    Just a shot in the dark I’d take anything
    A million to one right here under the sun
    I heard everything

    Soundtrack to Mobsters + Billionaires: Attraction by Kelly Fox

    I Dare You by The XX for a book about an intense attraction and a long awaited romance

    I’m in love with it
    Intoxicated
    I’m enraptured
    From the inside I can feel that you want to
    Wake up high on it
    Feel it suspending
    I’m enamored
    Way up in the sky I could see that you want to

    I’ve been a romantic for so long
    All I’ve ever had are love songs

    Soundtrack to Mobsters + Billionaires: Distraction by Kelly Fox

    I See You by The Horrors for a book about truly seeing a person, a possibility and a future.

    Through the summer
    You will soon forget
    Days get longer
    But the sun still sets
    You’re so fair while
    Love is yours to choose
    Life is fragile
    Don’t you let it go
    I can see your future in it
    I can see it there

    I see you

    And all the things you might do

    Soundtrack to The Witch Trials: The Witch and His Crow by Ben Alderson

    Shadow by Amigo The Devil for a book where a boy who grew up in the shadows learned to embrace the darkness in his blood.

    And every rule we follow was also made to brеak
    And everything we lеt go, there’s something else we take
    A goal without ambition is a key without the lock
    And who is there to listen when the shadow has to talk?

    …

    Only feeling alone around people
    Getting by, making it believable
    Love without compassion is fire without a spark
    But who protects the shadow, better than the dark?
