    SOUNDTRACK: Confetti by Grand Lotus

    October 13, 2023 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to Confetti Hitched: Confetti Hearts by Lily Morton

    Confetti by Grand Lotus for a book about weddings, divorce, broken hearts, and marriage made whole.

    Promise that I told you from the start
    Never wanted things to break apart
    Left me here surrounded by the dark
    All I really needed was a spark

    Give it all a rest
    I’ll only fight it if you
    Made me
    Wear it on my chest
    I get excited when you
    Are near me

    …

    Know we’ve been here a million times before
    Sorry that it seems like I’m appalled
    Never needed change to go this far
    Keep me in your mind and in your heart

    Soundtrack to Pretty Policeman by Fifer Rose

    Sugar by Tonic for a book about pretty cops on a mission, dashing mafiosos to the rescue, and true love as predicted by a beloved nona.

    Come on baby get your shoes on
    You’re looking like you need a rescue
    Underneath the southern moonlight
    Where only I can find you
    We can do it with our eyes closed
    We can sit and talk for hours
    Underneath the golden flowers
    Where my sunshine grows

    …

    I waited so long for a love so true
    So I’m giving it all right back to you
    I’m giving you my best of silver
    I’m giving you my best of gold

    Soundtrack to Tennebrose: Malum Discordiae by Ashlyn Drewek

    Tethered to the Dark by Anya Marina for a book about a blood witch and a stormbringer brought together by death, history, magic, and love.

    I see an omen in the sky
    A blood red moon shines on you and I
    And the raven calls, “Hey do you believe?”
    I do believe, I do believe, I do believe

    We’ll take an oath on bended knee
    Side by side, one and all, we’re thick as thieves
    Cause nothing’s gonna break this bond of blood
    We will be one, we will be one, we will become

    I will creep into your heart (ah ah ah)
    You won’t even feel it start (ah ah ah)
    We’ll be tethered to the dark (ah ah, ah ah, ah ah)

    Danger by Etro Anime for a book about a hard-won union between two dangerous men out to kill each other, a secret that threatened to tear them apart, and a single-minded determination that brought them together again and again.

    Things have gone wrong
    They do more often than they don’t
    I was a child before
    A soldier in defense
    I’ll take the leap

    I’ve gone so far for lesser gold
    I wanna know this life
    By your side
    I don’t wanna try to fight this love
    How dangerous can it be
    I know the odds are so unfavorable
    And honesty’s forsakable
    So many run for safety

    The smoke will be my proof

    You thought you stole

    And I know, that even when life is hard

    Why suddenly would I rather be with you than anyone?

    It looks like I’m in danger
    Whenever I look in your eyes
    It’s strange, but I don’t see us saying goodbye
    So I’ll let you move in closer
    I want you too, I know there’s danger
    But I want your love to be mine

    I don’t care about what he said she said
    I don’t care who’s going out with you
    I don’t care what you did last weekend
    I don’t care what they pretend to do

    Let’s go back…
    Together, but a little off track
    A moment’s always gone too fast
    Dancing undercover
    Middle of summer
    Like when you were younger

    I need a friend
    Oh, it’s nice to spend time with you

    One, two, three, four

    Nothing fits, forget the rest
    ‘Cause I know you fit me the best
    How was I to have even known
    When I first heard you on the phone
    That you would be my perfect fit
    I don’t know what to do with it
    ‘Cause your piece goes with mine alone
    Now I know where corners go

    …When I saw you standing there
    I didn’t know you’d ever care
    I didn’t know we’d talk at night
    I didn’t know you’d hold me tight
