SOUNDTRACK: Stay In My Corner by The Arcs, Teleport 2 Me, Jamie by KID CUDI, & Forget the Past by The Irrepressibles
Soundtrack to Kage by Maris Black
Stay in My Corner by The Arcs for a book about Kage finding the man worth keeping in his corner.
They can steal away my soul
Hang it dangerously low
I donโt care for they go
โCause Iโve been down there before, beforeStay in my corner, babe
Stay in my corner, please
Stay in my corner, babe
I will fight for you if you fight for me tooSoundtrack to Kage: Unleashed by Maris Black
Teleport 2 Me, Jamie by KID CUDI is Kage’s entrance song and secret message to Jamie so I just had to put it here. That scene slayed me!
Getting in from the airport
You getting in from the study group
The only thing missing at this point
Is bonafide chillinโ time with you
I canโt stand the times when Iโm alone at night
And I feel your side of the bed and itโs cold
Wide awake, I donโt know the time
โCause Iโm too busy textinโ you on my phoneSayinโ, I want you girl
And I need your body right here
(Wonโt you teleport to me?)Soundtrack to Kage: Unmasked by Maris Black
Forget the Past by The Irrepressibles for a book about Kage and Jamie, the past that haunted them, the present that challenged them, and the future they fought hard for.
Youโll be the wave that will gain
Youโll be the water on stain
Youโll be there calling my name
Jamie, Jamie
Youโll have a warrant to kill
All of my fears and then spill
Into me all of your will
Find me, find me
Find me, find me
Find me, find me
My love, my love
My love, my love
Youโll be the essence of fire
Youโll take hold of my desire
Youโll make me bold and inspire
Mold me, mold me -
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.
