    SOUNDTRACK: Breathe by Christian Cohle

    May 17, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Between the Devil and the Sea by Chani Lynn Feener

    Breathe by Christian Cohle for a book about the light giving life to shadows.

    Light
    Joins into the water
    I fall in love
    My pain is like a tower
    I’d cry
    If I could

    Breathe life into me
    I‘m broke can’t you see?
    I need your light
    I need your light
    Breathe life into me
    I’m lost don’t you see?
    Give me your light
    I need your light

    SOUNDTRACK: Promised You A Miracle by Simple Minds

    May 3, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to The Gentleman and His Vowsmith by Rebecca Ide

    Promised You A Miracle by Simple Minds for a book about childhood loves, estranged families, bitter rivals, and promised lives.


    As golden days break wondering
    Chance reflects on them a while
    Love screams so quietly
    Slipping back on golden times
    Breathing with sweet memories
    Promised you a miracle
    Belief is a beauty thing

    He controls on love
    Life mirrors a cure
    Everything is possible in the game of life
    Everything is possible
    Oh no
    Chance lost pearls of great price
    Take care of family
    Only aches for love

    Not Alone by Otto Knows for a book about a boy, scarred and scared, finding hidden strengths and rediscovering a family.

    An army marching underneath my skin
    The scars are just a map of where I’ve been

    …

    It’s a long, long way to miracle
    But I promised my soul that I’d make it back home
    Through the fires of Jericho
    It’s a long, long way to miracle
    Just to let you know
    You’re not alone

    Soundtrack to Gentlemen of Uncertain Fortune: The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles

    Fortunately by Mokita for a book about a pretense, a gamble, a dalliance and a security.

    Like an illusion they don’t see
    Keep building castles against the wind out on the beach
    All my mistakes in front of me
    Send me a lifeboat the second that I drift way too deep

    …

    I had to believe
    That I had somewhere to fall
    Fortunately

    Right from the start
    Just a shot in the dark I’d take anything
    A million to one right here under the sun
    I heard everything

    SOUNDTRACK: I Dare You by The XX & I See You by The Horrors

    April 5, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Mobsters + Billionaires: Attraction by Kelly Fox

    I Dare You by The XX for a book about an intense attraction and a long awaited romance

    I’m in love with it
    Intoxicated
    I’m enraptured
    From the inside I can feel that you want to
    Wake up high on it
    Feel it suspending
    I’m enamored
    Way up in the sky I could see that you want to

    I’ve been a romantic for so long
    All I’ve ever had are love songs

    Soundtrack to Mobsters + Billionaires: Distraction by Kelly Fox

    I See You by The Horrors for a book about truly seeing a person, a possibility and a future.

    Through the summer
    You will soon forget
    Days get longer
    But the sun still sets
    You’re so fair while
    Love is yours to choose
    Life is fragile
    Don’t you let it go
    I can see your future in it
    I can see it there

    I see you

    And all the things you might do

    March 29, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to The Witch Trials: The Witch and His Crow by Ben Alderson

    Shadow by Amigo The Devil for a book where a boy who grew up in the shadows learned to embrace the darkness in his blood.

    And every rule we follow was also made to brеak
    And everything we lеt go, there’s something else we take
    A goal without ambition is a key without the lock
    And who is there to listen when the shadow has to talk?

    …

    Only feeling alone around people
    Getting by, making it believable
    Love without compassion is fire without a spark
    But who protects the shadow, better than the dark?

    SOUNDTRACK: Infinity by Jaymes Young & Sunshine by Red Clay Strays

    March 22, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Damned Connnections: Patience by Lark Taylor

    Infinity by Jaymes Young for a book about infinite lives, eternal love, and a final death.

    Baby, this love
    I’ll never let it die
    Can’t be touched by no one
    I’d like to see ’em try

    …

    Where the time is frozen
    Where all the universe is open
    Love isn’t random, we are chosen
    And we could wear the same crown
    Keep slowing your heart down
    We are the gods now

    ‘Cause I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)
    I love you for infinity (oh-oh-oh)

    Soundtrack to Damned Connections: Justice by Lark Taylor

    Sunshine by Red Clay Strays for a book about a tragedy, a separation, a redemption, and a starting over.

    There’s no shame in being broken hearted
    Though I try to do more to fix my soul
    I’m trying to be more than when I started
    There’s no path before me
    There’s no horror story
    That could ever keep my God from swinging low

    People act a certain way in trials
    Different than they do on any day
    This is when you see a man’s true colors
    This is when he shows you
    How much he can go through
    Before all his faith is stripped away

    I work hard not to fall
    ‘Cause it’s a long way down
    And I owe it to my family
    Keep my feet on the ground
    It’s in the sunshine
    I feel the sunshine a-shining down on me

    Soundtrack to Vitale Brothers: Never Say Never by Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow

    Say It First by Sam Smith for a book about a secret identity, a bloody past, a forced proximity, and a fierce obsession.

    I never feel like this
    I’m used to emptiness in my heart
    And in my arms
    You’re not what I’m used to
    You keep me guessing with things that you do
    I hope that they’re true

    ‘Cause I’m never gonna heal my past
    If I run every time it starts
    So I need to know if I’m in this alone

    Come on baby, say it first
    I need to hear you say those words
    If I’m all that you desire, I promise there’ll be fire
    I need to hear you say it first
    Come on baby, do your worst
    I know you’ll take me higher
