SOUNDTRACK: Alive In New Light by IAMX
Soundtrack to Vitale Brothers: End It All by Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow
Alive In New Light by IAMX for a book about starting over, pulling through, and coming home.
There’s a power much bigger than hate
Still lost in the urge to annihilate
But I know I will overcome this
You dragged me through the darkest days
By the skin of my teeth you restored my fate
And I raised myself out of the ashesNow I’m alive in new light
I’m alive in new light
Now I’m alive in new light
I am alive in new light -
There’s a power much bigger than hate
Still lost in the urge to annihilate
But I know I will overcome this
You dragged me through the darkest days
By the skin of my teeth you restored my fate
And I raised myself out of the ashesNow I’m alive in new light
I’m alive in new light
Now I’m alive in new light
I am alive in new lightI was carrying the weight of the universe
The typical brittle perfectionist
Confused by my every decision
One day I was being the hero
The next I was playing the coward
Burnt out by my overreactionNow I’m alive in new light
I’m alive in new light
Now I’m alive in new light
I am alive in new lightThere were times when I thought that my heart would stop
Running for a bleak horizon
Locked in my obsessions
And now I am the raindrop
I am the tulip
I have learned compassionNow I’m alive in new light
I’m alive in new light
Now I’m alive in new light
I am alive -
SOUNDTRACK: Mercy by IAMX & Ruthless by Allegra Jordyn
Soundtrack to Park Avenue Kings: Merciless by Ella Frank & Brooke Blaine
Mercy by IAMX for a book about desire, passion, dominance, and protection.
Mercy – well I melt in the kiss by the words
And the whispers you sing me
Mercy – I’m frail in the kill by submission
And will that you bring me
Mercy – when I’m nothing but ego
You slap me to let go and sleep free
Now I sleep free….
Mercy – when the gray turns to black
And the wave’s on my back, you make me smile
Mercy – it’s the trauma and martyr
You crush into pleasure and downtime
Mercy – it’s the shining of you
That just breaks me in two like a lifeline
You’re my lifelineSoundtrack to Park Avenue Kings: Ruthless by Brooke Blaine & Ella Frank
Ruthless by Allegra Jordyn for a book about ruthless love that burns the world and takes the breathe away.
‘Cause I could breathe you in and never breathe you out
Hold you ’til I’m something you can’t live without
I’ll whisper in the wind, leave a chill on your skin
Forgetting me is useless
My love’s so ruthless
My love’s so ruthlessSoft words, slow moves
My hand brushes yours for a moment or two
But it’s enough to let my love seep into you -
Mercy – well I melt in the kiss by the words
And the whispers you sing me
Mercy – I’m frail in the kill by submission
And will that you bring me
Mercy – when I’m nothing but ego
You slap me to let go and sleep free
Now I sleep freeYou’re my toy box and my memories
When I smell your skin you just make my whole world weep
I’m at your feetMercy – when the gray turns to black
And the wave’s on my back, you make me smile
Mercy – it’s the trauma and martyr
You crush into pleasure and downtime
Mercy – it’s the shining of you
That just breaks me in two like a lifeline
You’re my lifelineI’m the idiot to your poetry
When you burn and bleach
Everything and all I need
Is at your feetMercy – are the licks and the lips of temptation
Just tricks, not for playing?
Mercy – are you the camera suck
Gun slut to headphone fuck holes in my being?
Mercy – are you everything
Which put the sex into bitch or just faking?
Do you fake it?So I celebrate your chemistry
If you bond with me
I could make your whole world sweet
I’m on my knees, on my kneesOn my knees, on my knees
On my knees, on my kneesBlack suit and tie
You’re looking nice under candlelight
Sweet as summertime
Red lips, white wine
Spilling your secrets, I won’t tell you mine
Baby, we’ve got all nightCome a little closer
Won’t you let me
Get to know you better?‘Cause I could breathe you in and never breathe you out
Hold you ’til I’m something you can’t live without
I’ll whisper in the wind, leave a chill on your skin
Forgetting me is useless
My love’s so ruthless
My love’s so ruthlessSoft words, slow moves
My hand brushes yours for a moment or two
But it’s enough to let my love seep into youCome a little closer
Won’t you let me
Wrap around you gently?‘Cause I could breathe you in and never breathe you out
Hold you ’til I’m something you can’t live without
I’ll whisper in the wind, leave a chill on your skin
Forgetting me is useless
My love’s so ruthless
My love’s so ruthless
My love’s so-Follow footsteps up the stairs
Down the hall, I’ll meet you there
Tell me you’ll go anywhere
Anywhere I want you
My love’s so ruthless -
SOUNDTRACK: Animal Impulses by IAMX & My Witness by The Irrepressibles
Soundtrack to Handled: Cleansed by Romilly King
I chose Animal Impulses because there are frequent references to animals and primal urges in Cleansed and the other books. Nathan compares Gray to a predator many times. The lyrics seemed tailor-made for psychos, going on about “Shine razor eyes in delight / Shine razor eyes before you die” and “I’m tired of this human duet / No civilizing hides / Our animal impulses”
Soundtrack to Handled: Polished by Romilly King
For the series finale, Polished, that puts the spotlight on the complicated and weirdly intimate relationship between Handler and Witness, the only song for it is, none other than My Witness. With verses that go “Make the fall, take the fire / Fuck the law nicely / Tint it all with desire / Shape the form I see” and “I will wake from the rain from the light of you / Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by you“, they described how these relationships changed the two people involved in it.
