    Tonight, Tonight by Smashing Pumpkins for a book where a punk convinces a scholar of the past to live in the present and enjoy the moment.

    And our lives are forever changed
    We will never be the same
    The more you change, the less you feel

    Believe
    Believe in me
    Believe, believe

    That life can change
    That you’re not stuck in vain
    We’re not the same, we’re different
    Tonight
    Tonight

    Believe
    Believe in me
    Believe, believe

    In the resolute urgency of now

    Soundtrack to RELIC: Sink or Swim by Maz Maddox

    You Were Right by Rufus du Sol for a book about a bet, a heist and a combustible chemistry in the middle of the sea.

    You were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you
    Leave it all bloom, you were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you, no
    The things that I would do

    Under the water, I’m sinking further down
    Floating I’m nothing, I’m nothing
    Arms are wide open, I’m calling out your name
    Sitting and waiting, I’m waiting

    Soundtrack to RELIC: King & Queen by Maz Maddox

    Found Me by Men I Trust for a book about a wandering queen finding a home among fearsome and the wild.

    Motion blurred dream visions and kindred faces
    Thoughts like bursts of youth taking me places
    Living the best outcome of myself
    ‘Cause I do remember where I come from

    I’m happy
    My home found me
    By which force I do not know
    I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

    Soundtrack to RELIC: Lost In Amber by Maz Maddox

    Loon by Bears and Lions for a book where raptors of the same feather find each other.

    he happiest bird is the one that is heard
    the happiest thing is the one that has wings
    the happiest voice is the one that has a choice

    so fly away and be free and make it on your own
    fly fly fly now you’re free
    will you find your way back to me

    Soundtrack to RELIC: Gardens & Ghosts by Maz Maddox

    Bloom by The Paper Kites for a book about a plant loving shifter, a cowboy T. Rex, lots of unrequited feels and Cotton-Eyed Joe.

    In the morning when I wake
    And the sun is coming through,
    Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
    And you fill my head with you.

    Shall I write it in a letter?
    Shall I try to get it down?
    Oh, you fill my head with pieces
    Of a song I can’t get out.

    Can I take you to a moment
    Where the fields are painted gold
    And the trees are filled with memories
    Of the feelings never told?

  • quote,  Uncategorized

    Time is never time at all
    You can never ever leave
    Without leaving a piece of youth

    And our lives are forever changed
    We will never be the same
    The more you change, the less you feel

    Believe
    Believe in me
    Believe, believe

    That life can change
    That you’re not stuck in vain
    We’re not the same, we’re different
    Tonight
    Tonight

    Tonight, so bright
    Tonight
    Tonight

    And you know you’re never sure
    But you’re sure you could be right
    If you held yourself up to the light

    And the embers never fade
    In your city by the lake
    The place where you were born

    Believe
    Believe in me
    Believe, believe

    In the resolute urgency of now
    And if you believe there’s not a chance
    Tonight
    Tonight

    Tonight, so bright
    Tonight
    Tonight

    We’ll crucify the insincere tonight
    (Tonight)
    We’ll make things right, we’ll feel it all tonight
    (Tonight)
    We’ll find a way to offer up the night
    (Tonight)
    The indescribable moments of your life
    (Tonight)
    The impossible is possible tonight
    (Tonight)

    Believe in me as I believe in you
    Tonight
    Tonight, tonight
    Tonight
    Tonight

    You were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you
    Leave it all bloom, you were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you, no
    The things that I would do

    Under the water, I’m sinking further down
    Floating I’m nothing, I’m nothing
    Arms are wide open, I’m calling out your name
    Sitting and waiting, I’m waiting

    You were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you
    Leave it all bloom, you were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you, no
    The things that I would do

    I’m cold in the river
    Lips moving there’s no sound
    Pulling me under, I’m under
    You’ve given me nothing
    Keep telling me I’ll be fine
    Keeping me kissing, out guessing

    You were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you
    Leave it all bloom, you were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you, no
    The things that I would do

    You were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you
    Leave it all bloom, you were right
    I know I can’t get enough of you, no
    The things that I would do

    Motion blurred dream visions and kindred faces
    Thoughts like bursts of youth taking me places
    Living the best outcome of myself
    ‘Cause I do remember where I come from

    I’m happy
    My home found me
    By which force I do not know
    I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

    I feel air from another planet akin
    Like a sense of truth that comes from within
    A budding sapling reaching through
    Giving rise to higher fruit and view

    I’m happy
    My home found me
    By which force I do not know
    I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

    I’m happy
    My home found me
    By which force I do not know
    I found my home and it grows by me in beauty

    the happiest bird is the one that is heard
    the happiest thing is the one that has wings
    the happiest voice is the one that has a choice

    so fly away and be free and make it on your own
    fly fly fly now you’re free
    will you find your way back to me
    back to me
    back to me
    back to me

    the happiest loon is the one that knows her way
    that loon’s gotta think about it every single day
    let her fly to the place that she wants to go
    bet she flown and coop yourself
    but you found your way back home

    fly fly fly now you’re free
    will you find your way back to me
    fly fly fly now you’re free

    will you find your way back to me
    back to me
    back to me
    back to me

    will you find your way back to me

    In the morning when I wake
    And the sun is coming through,
    Oh, you fill my lungs with sweetness,
    And you fill my head with you.

    Shall I write it in a letter?
    Shall I try to get it down?
    Oh, you fill my head with pieces
    Of a song I can’t get out.

    Can I be close to you?
    Ooh-oo-oo-ooh, ooh
    Can I be close to you?
    Ooh, ooh.

    Can I take you to a moment
    Where the fields are painted gold
    And the trees are filled with memories
    Of the feelings never told?

    When the evening pulls the sun down,
    And the day is almost through,
    Oh, the whole world it is sleeping,
    But my world is you.

    Can I be close to you?
    (Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
    Can I be close to you?
    (Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

    Can I be close to you?
    (Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).
    Can I be close to you?
    (Ah) ooh (aah), ooh (aah).

    Can I be close to you?
    Ooh, ooh.
