SOUNDTRACK: Dance With Me by Alphaville
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.

When the heat of light melts into the speeding time
When the king returns to the ivory cityside
Let the Magnet Mages wave the signals
Flashing oh so fast
Then you’ll meet me there under the moonshine
In a lover’s heaven, we’ll keep our promises at last
In a lover’s heaven we’ll forget the past
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It’s more than a dream
Maybe we’re reaching the gardens of delight
Do you want to dance with me
Through one of those lonely nights
It’s more than a dream
Maybe we’re drowning in empires of delightIn the stardust dawn underneath the crystal roofs
Where the solar boys are playing games
They never lose
Where the sailors are swaying
Through the lightdomes shining in the sky
There you’ll meet me, darling, anyway
In a lover’s heaven, we’ll keep our promises at last
In a lover’s heaven we’ll forget the past
