    SOUNDTRACK: Seed by The Academy Is, Seeds by Yoke Lore & Seeds of Gold by Closure in Moscow

    Soundtrack to Resurrectionist: The Shooting Season by Isobel Starling

    Seed by The Academy Is for a book about old lovers, new betrayals, and different perspectives.

    Subjects are thrown around the room
    Looking for the ones that got away
    A feeling of soft anticipation
    Another confrontation I won’t make
    But how do we do it?
    We turned into something else entirely, we fake it
    But I wanted it so desperately to be real

    Run, run, holding on to some pieces that you left behind
    Hope now, as I walk away, you’re the one that finds me out
    Run from the only thing left that I hold close

    Soundtrack to Resurrectionist: The Gentleman’s Thief by Isobel Starling

    Seeds by Yoke Lore for a book about a lonely gentleman, a mysterious lover, secrets to unravel and a mission to conquer.

    I remember the first words that you ever said
    Burried soft like seeds deep in my chest
    I wanna know who you are
    I wanna know who you are

    Your hands like winter, eyes like wings
    And the first kiss cut like ice in the spring
    I wanna know who you are
    I sleep deep in the dark

    ….
    Stumble into love like a challenge above
    But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn

    Soundtrack to Resurrectionist: Infernal Vices by Isobel Starling

    Seeds of Gold by Closure in Moscow for a book about beautiful liars, willing victims, and the tricky problem of getting them out.

    A liar of the sharpest tongue
    We can’t be something we’re not
    I’ve met with the winged things baying
    And they feed off the winter lurking in your mind
    I can see it in your eyes
    I just want you to get out
    I just want you to get out

    But once you were
    Beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold
    I didn’t sow much
    You would hold me and I would stare
    A pillar of salt whisked away by the air
    Beautiful right from the start
    I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold

    We turned into something else entirely, we fake it
    But I wanted it so desperately to be real

    Run, run, holding on to some pieces that you left behind
    Hope now, as I walk away, you’re the one that finds me out
    Run from the only thing left that I hold close

    While he’s letting you in
    You’ve got the feeling you’ve been followed under your skin
    It will be weighing on your shoulder, believe it

    If I could express it in a different dialect or in a delicate way
    I’d capture the phrases inside the cage beneath my chest
    And keep it locked for days
    I wanted you so desperately to believe me

    Run, run, why are you running from another conversation?
    Someone that I’ve been planning on, you’re the one that finds me out
    There’s nowhere, now I found you, that I won’t go

    While he’s letting you in
    You’ve got the feeling you’ve been followed under your skin
    It will be weighing on your shoulder
    You’ve got that seed in you
    You’ve got that seed in you

    Run, run, what are you running from?
    Let all your small steps expose your secrets
    You don’t have to speak for me to believe it
    But what do you mean? Yeah…

    Shaken and faint, you’ve got the feeling
    You’ve been followed under your skin
    It will be weighing on your shoulder
    You’ve got that seed in you
    You’ve got that seed in…
    While letting you in
    You’ve got the feeling you’ve been followed
    Are you listening to anything I’ve said, said
    To anything I’ve said, said
    You’ve got that seed in you

    Shaken and faint, it was the hardest thing to swallow
    Pretending you don’t miss me
    You’ve got that seed in you
    You’ve got that seed in…
    While letting you in, I’ll be thinking about tomorrow
    And every time we cross those lines
    You’ve got that seed in you
    You’ve got that seed in…

    I hope now, as I walk away, you’re the one that finds me out

    I remember the first words that you ever said
    Burried soft like seeds deep in my chest
    I wanna know who you are
    I wanna know who you are

    Your hands like winter, eyes like wings
    And the first kiss cut like ice in the spring
    I wanna know who you are
    I sleep deep in the dark

    So come and take it all, leave a note for the world
    I’ll be back from the sky
    When the red earth cries for the girls
    Stumble into love like a challenge above
    But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn

    White roses at the front door
    Our legs intertwined when it rains on the porch
    I wanna know who you are
    I hunt for blood like a shark

    So I’m running back to the lock of your arms
    Baby, you know I never hit the mark
    I wanna know who you are
    ‘Cause you’re the reason I’ve got so far

    So come and take it all, leave a note for the world
    I’ll be back from the sky
    When the red earth cries for the girls
    Stumble into love like a challenge above
    But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn

    I leave it up to all the will that lives inside me
    But I’d kill to keep you here right next to me
    There’s something in the way I’m lifted
    When I hear your name there’s nothing
    That can touch what you have made

    So come and take it all, leave a note for the world
    I’ll be back from the sky
    When the red earth cries for the girls
    Stumble into love like a challenge above
    But I ache with the fear that my fate is to yell and to yearn

    A liar of the sharpest tongue
    We can’t be something we’re not
    I’ve met with the winged things baying
    And they feed off the winter lurking in your mind
    I can see it in your eyes
    I just want you to get out
    I just want you to get out

    But once you were
    Beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold
    I didn’t sow much
    You would hold me and I would stare
    A pillar of salt whisked away by the air
    Beautiful right from the start
    I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold

    Just when I think that I’ll be safer out here
    By picking up the pace, covering ground
    Something is looming wicked in these clouds
    And calling me back
    Where will I run when all these winged things circle over my head?
    When you’re young in the wild
    Living in denial
    You’ll never survive

    But once you were
    Beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold
    I didn’t sow much
    You would hold me and I would stare
    A pillar of salt whisked away by the air
    Beautiful right from the start
    I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold

    I don’t know, I don’t know, I don’t know
    If it’s your voice that dissolves on the brittle light
    You supplicate from the place I dare not tread
    And ask me to lay myself bare
    But you are dressed in night and snow

    Beautiful enough to bear seeds of gold
    I didn’t sow much
    You would hold me and I would stare
    A pillar of salt whisked away by the air
    Beautiful right from the start
    I loved your soul enough to leave in the cold

    (Into the cold and I’ll go)
    Into the shroud
    (Into the cold and I’ll go)
    Into the shroud
    (Now that I know we’re one in the same)
    Into the shroud

    ‘Cause you’re young in the wild
    Living in denial
    You’ll never survive
    (Now that I know we’re one in the same)

    (Into the shroud)
    So young in the wild
    Living in denial

  • quote,  Uncategorized

    And I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
    I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
    ‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
    I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

    I wanna live, wanna to live the good life, leave, love
    Queen Earth, be my ground
    And every road my long legs walk down, I get found
    The dead Earth, be my soft bed, give me safety, give me a crown
    I listen to the creatures ’til I hear that sound

    How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves?
    Now that I’m up, can I tell you that you make me, ohh?

    I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
    I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
    ‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
    I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

    Sing my song about the ways I keep on doin’ you wrong
    And keep my heart close to the fire, so I don’t thaw
    I count the spots along your arms, so I remember this
    I feel the weight of time and hold back the minute

    How can I sleep in the wake of your night moves?
    Now that I’m up, can I tell you that you make me, ohh?

    And all of the ways you are make it unfair
    But now that we’re playin’ for truth, I’ma pick dare
    And all of the ways you are make it unfair
    And all of the words that I have will be yours to bear

    And I won’t wait another day, won’t wait another day
    I won’t wait ’til you come my way, won’t until you come my way
    ‘Cause I know I’m chasin’ down my grave, know I’m chasin’ down my grave
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me
    And I want you ridin’ next to me, want you ridin’ next to me

    I dream of you
    Moment I can feel you there
    I can hold you
    But sometimes there’s a shift in the motion
    I can’t keep you near, just stand in motion

    Can I count on you?
    Can I count on you?
    You’re my only virtue

    Inner demons
    That I can’t seem to push aside
    I can’t stop it
    And that’s why I need you here
    I am no good but you steer me clear of my bad oceans

    Can I count on you
    To be there with me now?
    I can’t bear the thought
    Of losing you somehow
    Please hold down the phone
    Since I am not around
    Can I count on you
    To be there with me?
    You’re my only virtu
    e

    Now I may not deserve you
    But I can not do without you
    Didn’t know what I had lost
    You are my elevation
    You’re the closest thing to heaven
    If you hadn’t caught me
    Then where am I meant to fall?
    Moments I can feel you
    Hold you in my arms
    Feels as forgetting from

    Can I count on you
    To be there with me now?
    I can’t bear the thought
    Of losing you somehow

    Please hold down the phone
    Since I am not around
    Can I count on you
    To be there with me?
    You’re my only virtue

    Can I count on you?
    Can I, can I, can I count on you?
    You’re my only virtue
    Count on you, count on you

    I know you’re walking through hell
    But it’s just me here, no one else
    You can crumble, I don’t mind
    The broken bones we carry, are hard to hide

    There’s cracks on the walls that are holding your heart
    I want you to know you can pull them apart

    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
    We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
    So rip your heart wide open
    Let mе see your scars
    Every battle wound makes you who you arе
    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    I don’t care I’m torn and worn out from keeping it all inside
    Avoiding the hurt and pain, letting their words skin me alive
    But I won’t bleed with shame
    Cause every time that I break
    There’s more light flowing into my veins

    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
    We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
    So rip your heart wide open
    Let me see your scars
    Every battle wound makes you who you are
    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    There’s cracks on the walls that are holding your heart
    I want you to know you can pull them apart

    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
    We’re the pieces that make a whole, beautiful, beautiful
    So rip your heart wide open
    Let me see your scars
    Every battle wound makes you who you are
    Cause fractured edges are beautiful, beautiful, beautiful

    Falling, falling to the ground
    Falling into sound
    Always numb
    Always in another world I found

    Do you see what I see?
    Or am I incomplete?
    Falling stars
    Healing all the scars inside your heart

    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all
    Heal it all

    Falling, falling to the ground
    Falling into sound
    Always numb
    Always in another world I found

    Do you see what I see?
    Or are we incomplete?
    Falling stars
    Healing all the scars inside your heart

    From the moment you dream,
    It’s not always as it seems.
    If you still believe,
    It’s all you need.
    When you give you feel more alive.
    When you love you step into the light.
    Standing on the edge you are part of me
    And you leave the past behind.

    Let it all rewind,
    Let it out.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.
    Let it hurt, hurt.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.

    In the end
    Time is like a night.

    In the mind
    Time is like a knife.
    Sending them off the drop
    Like an echo.
    Orbiting like a satellite.

    Let it all rewind,
    Let it out.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.
    Let it hurt, hurt.
    Let it all rewind,
    Moving on.

    SOUNDTRACK: Safety by Yoke Lore

    Soundtrack to This Is Not Revenge by Romilly King

    It was hard to find a song for this book. The songs about Stockholm Syndrome I found didn’t feel right. They were too negative, mostly about feeling used and abused in a relationship. I wanted a song that felt more positive because for all the wrongness of his methods, Gil had good intentions. He really wanted to protect Leo.

    I finally picked Safety by Yoke Lore because it’s a song about protection. There’s a spiritual aspect to it that I relate to how Gil sees the world as well as a part that talks about not wanting to be let go which I relate to Leo.

    You are as perfect as all the seven days of creation, god must have loved it / Salt leaves and door screens, blood bed and night screams / I’ll be your safety, if you’ll be my safety / But soon I will try to fly out and leave you / But please don’t believe me, tie weights to my feet”

  • quote,  Uncategorized

    You are as perfect as all the seven days of creation, god must have loved it
    Salt leaves and door screens, blood bed and night screams
    I’ll be your safety, if you’ll be my safety
    But soon I will try to fly out and leave you
    But please don’t believe me, tie weights to my feet

    I don’t wanna tell you now
    I don’t wanna tell you how I know
    I don’t wanna break you down
    I don’t know if I can take the load of our love

    I’m too pop for the basement scene of sludge and drop jaw
    But I can’t fit see, I’m faceless but I’m not your dream team
    But I fit right in between your legs and your that will hold me, your arms will enfold me

    I don’t wanna tell you now
    I don’t wanna tell you how I know
    I don’t wanna break you down
    I don’t know if I can take the load of our love
