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 don’t care for they go
‘Cause I’ve 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 chillin’ time with you
I can’t stand the times when I’m alone at night
And I feel your side of the bed and it’s cold
Wide awake, I don’t know the time
‘Cause I’m too busy textin’ you on my phoneSayin’, I want you girl
And I need your body right here
(Won’t 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.
You’ll be the wave that will gain
You’ll be the water on stain
You’ll be there calling my name
Jamie, Jamie
You’ll 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
You’ll be the essence of fire
You’ll take hold of my desire
You’ll make me bold and inspire
Mold me, mold me -
I won’t always be a winner, babe
In fact, I’m bound to burn
All these bumps in the road, dear
They’re just lessons we learned, we learnedStay in my corner, babe
Stay in my corner, please
Stay in my corner, babe
I will fight for you if you fight for me tooThey can steal away my soul
Hang it dangerously low
I don’t care for they go
‘Cause I’ve 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 tooWe sit together forever
By the color, TV glow
Telling stories, allegories
Letting ourselves goStay in my corner, babe
Stay in my corner, please
Stay in my corner, babe
I will fight for you if you fight for me toGetting in from the airport
You getting in from the study group

The moment when I realize it’s all in my mind
The moment I hate the most

And we sit on the grass and wait
For machines and forget the past

SOUNDTRACK: To Be by The Irrepressibles
Soundtrack to Vitale Brothers: Say I Do by Brea Alepou & Skyler Snow
To Be by The Irrepressibles for a book about a sham marriage between two bitter enemies becoming a bond of true love and family.
I live a life of lies
I love the truth you hide
Can we accept the weight?
Our love is born through hateFeeling the way you breath down my side
I’ll never escape you, I can never try
Seeing the way you look in my eyes
I’m lost in illusion, my world set asideAre all my senses real?
For all I am and feel?
In you I see perfection in all I am and feel -
I’m born by time and race
I long to find a face
In love I am aliveThese fears I cannot hide
I live a life of lies
I love the truth you hide
Can we accept the weight?
Our love is born through hateFeeling the way you breath down my side
I’ll never escape you, I can never try
Seeing the way you look in my eyes
I’m lost in illusion, my world set asideAre all my senses real?
For all I am and feel?
In you I see perfection in all I am and feelFeeling the way you breath down my side
I’ll never escape you, I can never try
Seeing the way you look in my eyes
I’m lost in illusion, my world set aside -
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.
-
Bury me with a sword, with a chain and ache
I’m alive with the flyers, with the flames at stake
To be gone in a thought that’s arranged by you
To be formed by a shape that’s innate of youI will wake from the rain from the light of you
Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by youOoh, ooh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessMake the fall, take the fire
Fuck the law nicely
Tint it all with desire
Shape the form I seeI’m alive with a knife, with a wife in me
I’m a crane looking out at the hypocrisyOoh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the skyOoh, ooh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake your wars of your faiths
Of your bitterness, please
Take your wars of your faiths
Of your ignorance and leaveI will wake from the rain from the light of you
Take a knife to my chest, I’m alive by youOoh, ooh, my witness
Ooh, ooh, ooh, my witnessTake the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky
Make their love in an eye
Take the sting from the sky -

I might like to be in love with you

Or put you in my showI’ll maybe let you into my dream
I’ll maybe let you
I’ll maybe let you into my dream
I’ll maybe let you -
SOUNDTRACK: New World by The Irrepressibles
Soundtrack to Cabrini Law: Other Than Honorable by Parker St. John
-
Show me your reasons to fight,
The new world tonight,
And I will be here by your side,
So true.Because I couldn’t see truth from my eyes,
They blinded me with rules from when I was a child,
Because all around the vain ones decide,
The ways in which we live our lives.But we’ll breathe,
Our dreams,
And we’ll scream,
Louder, so we’ll be seen.Show me the truth that you hide,
The world needs to know,
That there’ll be no sacrifice,
The love we share has to grow.Take off that burden that persists,
There’ll be no miracles to make you fit.
And look deep into my eyes,
You’ll see the truth you long to find.And we’ll breath,
Our dreams,
And we’ll scream,
Louder, so we’ll be seen.Show me the tears that you cry,
Some problems can cut deep inside,
But I believe there’s ways to climb,
Up out into another time.Where we’ll breath
Our dreams,
And we’ll scream
Louder, so we’ll be seen…Love…
Is.
Freedom…
