    SOUNDTRACK: Celestial Bodies by Ghost Data feat. Jovani Occomy

    June 21, 2025 / No Comments

    Soundtrack To A Bright Celestial Sea by Chani Lynn Feener

    Celestial Bodies by Ghost Data feat. Jovani Occomy for a book about healing of bodies, breaking of chains, rekindling of memories, and grabbing life by the horns.

    Why don’t you take apart these precious bones?
    Mend my heart, reap what you sow
    Feel the burn from in this dream
    We break apart ripped from the seam

    Can’t describe just what I feel
    Break the chains and help me heal
    Celestial Bodies fly overhead
    With countless words I’m ripped to shreds

    Searching through the universe
    The skyscrapers and day lovers take part in what’s real
    You make me feel like I could die happy in this moment of our lives

    Constellations by Tokyo Shoegazer for a book about finding the one that fell perfectly into place.

    Into the night
    You would do anything to be…
    Around me

    No more regrets
    No hidding behind closed doors at sunset…

    …

    Back into the love…
    Hear the sirens recalling in silence

    Be mine
    Be mine
    Be mine
    You don’t have to try…

    Torture me like no other (Uh!)
    Suffer, suffer
    Me don’t get no rougher

    Put me pain on me, lover

    Well, I think you’re smart

    SOUNDTRACK: Dare by The Mary Onettes

    May 31, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to The Firm: Covenant by Cora Rose & Lark Taylor

    Dare by The Mary Odettes for a book about a desperate request for help, an awakening of being and a second chance for a connection that began with “I dare you.”

    Those where the darkest hours of them all.
    And I can easily say I had no love.
    I see myself outside it all, but somehow I’m always there.
    Cause all I know is what I bare. 

    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I dare to think of love.
    And now I dare to think of something that I’m not.
    Now I know. Returning here
    ain’t that hard, despite my fear.

    SOUNDTRACK: Endless Light by O’Brother

    May 24, 2025 / 1 Comment

    Soundtrack to A Sea Of Endless Light by Chani Lynn Feener

    Endless Light by O’Brother for a book where the last of his kind found a reason to go on.

    So in my life
    There is no greater relief
    Than drifting through time
    Weightless in the wake
    I made up my mind and left my body to be
    So I might find the home that I made
    Enter my blood and raise me up
    That I may be remade in light
    And I will burst apart

    I won’t slowly fade into something else
    No, I won’t slowly fade into something else
    I thought that I could change
    I was clearly wrong
    This world that I create is where I belong

    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 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

    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
