SOUNDTRACK: Stranger by Covey
Soundtrack to More Heat Than The Sun: Love Is A Stranger by John Wiltshire
The book is written entirely in Ben’s POV so I loved how this song seems to speak from Nikolas’s perspective.
The lines “Oh I’ve been a stranger / Sleeping with you in my bed / I wish I could save you / From the thoughts up in my head” is basically what the book is all about.
“We all come from broken arms / But still I keep you close / I’m an empty hollow shell / On a one way trip to hell / And all these thoughts inside my head / Are fears of loneliness from years I can’t relive” sum up his history and his state of mind. Also, he way he kept Ben in his life through the years.

I’ve been on hiding down
I’ll tell you everything I can
There’s a healer inside of me
It’s too deep for you to see
And I can tell you one more time
For my head is on the line
Before I could go awayOh I’ve been a stranger
Sleeping with you in my bed
I wish I could save you
From the thoughts up in my headWe all come from broken arms
But still I keep you close
I’m an empty hollow shell
On a one way trip to hell
And all these thoughts inside my head
Are fears of loneliness from years I can’t reliveOh I’ve been a stranger
Sleeping with you in my bed
I wish I could save you
From the thoughts up in my head
