    SOUNDTRACK: Feelslikeimfallinginlove by Coldplay & Virtue by Matt Wills

    February 1, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Unexpectedly Twisted: The Silencer by Cora Rose

    feelslikeimfallinginlove by Coldplay for a book about a mob boss’s cold dead heart coming alive, the switch going from off to raging inferno.

    I know that this could hurt me bad
    I know that this could feel like that
    But I just can’t stop
    Let my defences drop

    I know that I was born to kill
    Any angel on my windowsill
    But it’s so dark inside
    I throw the windows wide

    Soundtrack to Unexpectedly Twisted: His Prince by Cora Rose

    Virtue by Matt Wills for a book about a mob boss’s hard-won trust and a prince’s hard-won love.

    I kiss your light skinned lips like my friends do
    I see you bathe in every word that offends you
    Who knew, who knew every single word’s true, ooh
    Who knew, you knew you always were my virtue
    Just give me a reason, there must be a reason for us

    I like your tight ripped jeans with the ash stain
    And the silly things you say with your pretty brain
    All I want is a reason to keep me believing in us
    All I want is a reason, there must be a reason not lust

    I know that this could hurt me bad
    I know that this could feel like that
    But I just can’t stop
    Let my defences drop

    I know that I was born to kill
    Any angel on my windowsill
    But it’s so dark inside
    I throw the windows wide

    I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    Still, I don’t let go
    And fields of flowers grow

    Oh, it feels like
    I’m fallin’ in love
    Maybe for the first time
    Baby, it’s my mind you blow

    It feels like
    I’m fallin’ in love
    You’re throwin’ me a lifeline
    And this is for a lifetime, I know

    I know that in this kind of scene
    Of two people, there’s a spark between
    One gets torn apart
    One gets a broken heart

    I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    I know, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
    Still, I don’t let go
    And fields of flowers grow

    Oh, it feels like
    I’m fallin’ in love
    Maybe for the first time
    Baby, it’s my mind you blow

    It feels like
    I’m fallin’ in love
    You’re throwin’ me a lifeline
    And this is for a lifetime, I know

    Ooh, ooh
    Ooh (feels like)
    Whoa

    It feels like
    I’m fallin’ in love
    You’re throwin’ me a lifeline
    Oh, now for the first time
    I know I’m not alone

    Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
    Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
    Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo, oh
    Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
    Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo
    Ah-la-la, la-la, lo-lee-lo, oh

    I kiss your light skinned lips like my friends do
    I see you bathe in every word that offends you
    Who knew, who knew every single word’s true, ooh
    Who knew, you knew you always were my virtue
    Just give me a reason, there must be a reason for us

    I like your tight ripped jeans with the ash stain
    And the silly things you say with your pretty brain
    All I want is a reason to keep me believing in us
    All I want is a reason, there must be a reason not lust

    Just ask me to stay and I’ll give this all up
    (Love, love, love)
    Just ask me to stay and I’ll live in your love
    (Love, love, love)
    Just ask me to stay when it all gets too much
    (Love, love, love)
    Just ask me to stay and I’ll live in your love
    (Love, love, love)

    Just ask me to stay and I’ll give this all up
    (Love, love, love)
    Just ask me to stay and I’ll live in your love
    (Love, love, love)
    Just ask me to stay when it all gets too much

    Just ask me to stay and I’ll live in your love

    Fixing up a car to drive in it again
    Searching for the water, hoping for the rain
    Up and up
    Up and up

    Down upon the canvas, working meal to meal
    Waiting for a chance to pick your orange field
    Up and up
    Up and up

    See a pearl form, a diamond in the rough
    See a bird soaring high above the flood
    It’s in your blood
    It’s in your blood

    Underneath the storm an umbrella is saying
    Sitting with the poison takes away the pain
    Up and up
    Up and up, it’s saying

    We’re gonna get it, get it together right now
    Gonna get it, get it together somehow
    Gonna get it, get it together and flower
    Whoa
    We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
    Gonna get it, get it together and flow
    Gonna get it, get it together and go
    Up and up and up

    Lying in the gutter, aiming for the moon
    Trying to empty out the ocean with a spoon
    Up and up
    Up and up

    See the forest there in every seed
    Angels in the marble waiting to be freed
    Just need love
    Just need love, when the going is rough saying

    We’re gonna get it, get it together right now
    Gonna get it, get it together somehow
    Gonna get it, get it together and flower
    Whoa
    We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
    Gonna get it, get it together and flow
    Gonna get it, get it together and go

    And you can say what is, or fight for it
    Close your mind and take a risk
    You can say “It’s mine” and clench your fist
    Or see each sunrise as a gift

    We’re gonna get it, get it together right now
    Gonna get it, get it together somehow
    Gonna get it, get it together and flower
    Whoa
    We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
    Gonna get it, get it together and flow
    Gonna get it, get it together and go
    Up and up and up

    We’re gonna get it, get it together right now
    Gonna get it, get it together somehow
    Gonna get it, get it together and flower
    Whoa
    We’re gonna get it, get it together I know
    Gonna get it, get it together and flow
    Gonna get it, get it together and go
    Up and up

    Fixing up a car to drive in it again
    When you’re in pain
    When you think you’ve had enough

    Don’t ever give up
