SOUNDTRACK: Pleasure by Feist
Soundtrack to West Coast Mobsters: His Guilty Pleasure by Leighton Greene
Pleasure by Feist for a book about discovering pleasure, differences that pull people apart, and shifting perspectives that blur black and white.
Get what I want
And still it’s a mysterious thing that I want
So when I get it
I make sense of a mysterious thing
‘Cause I’ve taken flight on such a serious wing
I, and you are the same and
Either fiction or dreaming…
Oh, an echo calls up the line
An indication of time
Our togetherness
That is how we evolved
We became our needs
Ages up inside
Escaping similar pain
Dreaming safe and secure -

In the darkness
You brought me into the light -

Because pity alone can’t save you
You and I, declaring war

SOUNDTRACK Trust by Half-Alive
Soundtrack to West Coast Mobsters: His Sinful Need by Leighton Greene
Trust by Half Alive for a book about trust, loyalty and Family ties, either lost, broken, hard-won, or unbreakable.
Trust is a tree that towers 50 feet above us
Grown over time through many seasons
Believing in something more than just the surface
I trust that this is worth it
But my toes are hanging off the ledgeLord, help me, there’s a thorn in my side
I feel the tension in the fear and truth
I carry life in between the divide
But all the wrestling has left me bruisedHow sweet, the taste of certainty
The gift you gave is safe with me.….
I see the walls that are torn and bent
The tug of war in the now, not yet
Holding back what they can’t contain
Can you tell me why I feel this way? -

The truth begins to showLover, hunter, friend and enemy
You will always be every one of these
Lover, hunter, friend and enemy
You will always be every one of these
Nothing’s fair in love and warIn life, in love, this time I can’t afford to lose
For one, for all, I’ll do what I have to do

SOUNDTRACK: Peacemaker by Animal Collective
Soundtrack to Sharps and Springfield: Peacemaker by Morgan Brice
Peacemaker by Animal Collective for a book about good men racing to stop the power hungry rich from spreading darkness across the land.
Got sold steam it’s landed right right
Right rose stop comes up to choke us
Knee jerk to the real jerk
Shades in shadows of a too great land
It’s hereIn the chaos of some billionaires
Some stink among the weeds
It’s good to slather on the mantis
It’s good to rest upon the clean
With a timber built from ages
Something stirs within the leaves and it can rest upon the paper
Not to keep the seat the same so get up in -
SOUNDTRACK: Scar by Joe Henry
Soundtrack to West Coast Mobsters: His Brutal Heart by Leighton Greene
Scar by Joe Henry for a book about a lonely king on a precarious throne and the fearless boy who embraced the king’s darkness, power, fears, and joy.
What does this look like to you?
A mark so fine, you barely see
You have one just like it, too—
A twisting vine
A mark so fine;
Cause I love you with all I am
And you love me because you are
As fearless as a twisting vine
A mark so fine
But still a scar…
And your window is like a star
That I sit beneath like a vagabond
Who wears his fear
Just like a scar…
The blade of our outrageous fortune
Like a parade, it cuts a path
Light shows on our foolish way
And darkness on
Our aftermath;
If I love you to save myself
And you love me because we are
So fool to think that our parade
Could leave a path
But not a scar -

I take my aim, do you feel me coming close?
I take my aim so you feel me coming closeWould you take a
Calm and tender, terminal kind of care?
Would you touch me
Cling and wage an intimate fight for me?
If you’re thinking anything
If you’re thinking endlessly
If you’re thinking anything
If you’re thinking -

Sure you might not hear
But what the hero needs right now isn’t just power
Let yourself be
Watch these tiny hands now All those things that I’ve fallen in love with
And the curse that fell down upon me that day too
All those feelings of falling in love
Give me enough light to protect what I adore ….
It’s a pair of two, bonded with tears
Of sorrow accompanied by strength
Love seems to be breaking something
It’s a pair of two, bonded with tears
Skepticism just keeps overflowing
The hand that carried all of this -

I’ll wear the mask I made
Who knows what’s underneath
And you either love or leave itEverybody’s got something to hide
Everybody’s waiting for the right time
To reveal it and if you don’t mind
I wanna let you see itEverybody’s got ways to feel high
And I wanna see what way that you like
I conceal it until the right timeMaybe we’re light, light, light, light, light
Your skin is so on fire
Maybe we’re not so lonely, right?
Maybe I like just what you like
