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 -

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
-
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.
