I used to collect soundtracks, and even though it has been a long time since I've actually bought one, I always pay attention to the music that they choose for particular scenes in television shows and movies. When I'm working on my novel, I always go to music to inspire specific scenes or feelings. I actually have a soundtrack specifically for writing time. I have a soundtrack for my novel. So, it's no wonder I have a soundtrack that traces the pieces of my heart.
Don't Know Why by Norah Jones
Reminds me of my last semester of law school, and picnic dinners in my barely furnished
apartment with the guy who taught me about being in love.
La Cienega Just Smiled by Ryan Adams
The summer of 2003. Sometimes the best kind of love is the kind that takes you by surprise.
The Reason by Hoobastank
When things ended with that guy who taught me about being in love, I couldn't listen to this
song without burying my face in my hands and soaking it with tears. I never thought a song
could break my heart as much as this one did.
Kite by U2
Reminds me that letting go doesn't have to mean that love is forever gone.
Every time I hear this song, it crushes my heart and restores it all at once. It's amazing.
Myth by Beach House
The pain that comes with realization.
"It's never as it seems."
Myth by Beach House
The pain that comes with realization.
"It's never as it seems."
Okay, I'm cheating on this one and listing more than five because I need to include these songs:
So Cruel by U2
One of my most favorite U2 songs. Inspires me to write because the lyrics just
rips me to pieces. I wish I could write such brilliant poetry.
Yellow by Coldplay
Because I love Coldplay. And every time I hear this song, I just fall in love.
Again and again.
What songs speak to you?
