    SOUNDTRACK: Solace by Fyfe & Free Animal by Foreign Air

    October 5, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Lake Prophet: Solstice by Eli Easton & R.J. Scott

    Solace by Fyfe for a book about a new town, old ghosts, and unexpected friends.

    I’m hardly known in this neighbourhood
    But I can’t help feeling like I’ve been misunderstood.
    Right to my bones, yes my sinew shook,
    I feel this ground is breaking, nothing is there underfoot

    …

    Days on days, looking back I lay,
    I know I’m insecure but I’ve been wasting away.
    Solace comes like I hoped it would,
    Love has overcome things I didn’t know that it could.

    Soundtrack to Lake Prophet: Equinox by Eli Easton & R.J. Scott

    Free Animal by Foreign Air for a book about caged animals, caged minds, and hard won freedom.

    My heart beats in patters to the broken sound
    You’re the only one that can calm me down
    My head spins in circles so I’m dizzy now
    All of this time I should’ve figured it out

    I’m a free animal, free animal

    SOUNDTRACK: The Angel’s Share by Elly

    September 14, 2024 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Agents Irish and Whiskey: Angel’s Share by Layla Reyne

    The Angel’s Share by Elly for a book about loss and grief, love and healing.

    The bitter and sweet, and dance around me
    I tend to wonder if the ebb and flow will ever drag me under
    If the lessons that we learn are dressed in many colors

    The angel’s share we pay to Heaven
    Comes to all of us

    I learned to live again and feel the love that’s all around me
    And it’s so beautiful, beautiful
    The dark, the light, the faith, the fight
    It leads me to believe
    And it makes it beautiful, beautiful

    Spirits by The Strumbellas for a book about a search for redemption, faith of a good man, and ghosts, real and metaphorical.

    And maybe we don’t wanna stay the same

    Spirits in my head and they won’t go

    Soundtrack to Subparheroes: My Not-So-Super Blind Date by Allison Temple

    Come A Little Closer by Cage The Elephant for a book about blind dates, a mission to save the world, and always, the promise of “see you tomorrow”.

    Heartbreaks, the heavy world’s upon your shoulders
    Will we burn or we just smolder?
    Somehow I know I’ll find you there
    Oooh, I wanna see if you can change it, change it
    Still I know I’ll see you there

    …

    Come on, come on, come on
    Do you understand the things that you’ve been dreaming?
    Come a little closer, then you’ll see
    Come a little closer, then you’ll see

    Ten thousand people stand alone now
    And in the evening the sun sets
    Tomorrow it will rise

    Time flies by, they all sang along

    Soundtrack to Midnight Companion by Kit Barrie

    Spellbound by Ghostly Kisses for a book about a man cursed by a witch and spellbound by a headless horseman.

    When you move
    Under the moon
    I can feel you
    Slipping through to tantalize

    When you sing
    Your words soft and sincere
    Oh I want you
    More than I ever desired

    There are things I don’t understand
    Deep within my well
    Then I wish to unveil myself
    When I dance under your midnight prayer

    I dance around, around, around, in circles
    And I dance around, around, around, in circles

    Monster (Under My Bed) by Call Me Karizma for a book about heart-weary boys, heartless humans, and kind-hearted monsters.

    Monster, monster under my bed
    Come out and play ’cause I need a friend
    You’re so damn close that I feel your breath
    You’re the only one I have left

    Feel you in my bones
    Shiver up my spine
    You’re a master of disguise
    You show up when no one’s home
    Are you real or just a lie
    I can feel you in my mind and my soul
    But I love when you jump in
    And help me feel something

    Twisted by Design by Sum 41 for a book about who twisted who, how and how twisted they become.

    ’ve got my scars to bear
    Stitches just can’t repair, woah
    There’s no one to blame this time
    Absolution’s waiting on a prayer
    I’m breaking down the walls
    Bailing my share of faults, woah
    This blood on my hands is a blessing
    In a lifetime, twisted by design

    …

    They say believing is the hardest part
    But I say with every beat of my heart
    I alone will find my way
    And get right back to the start
    They say the fire in your heart is gone
    Well, I say it’s really only just begun
    All along you know that I’m
    I’m twisted by design
    I’m twisted by design

    Masquerade Butterfly by Miura Ayme for a book about a grieving son, an unlikely ally, and the magical masquerades that brought them together.

    Overlapping together as a pure heart
    One night asking all about love
    Delicate ♡ as a result of these heartbreaks
    All because of you breathlessly sighing

    ….

    Things that I won’t change
    Bid farewell, reluctance, entrusting all these dreams
    I can’t turn back on my own
    You’re out there remaining all alone

    This world being a place for burying my heart
    Flying away today with me hiding my tears
    Lying on the ground wearing a mask
    Losing my wings and feathers
