Oh my gosh! I am SO excited that this was one of the topics to post about! I have been thinking about adding what song a certain book reminds me of at the end of my posts but it doesn't always happen with every book. A lot of times I'll be driving and a random song with come on my iPod and I'll be like hey! that reminds me of such-and-such book!! SO I don't have a lot but here are a few standouts of songs that TOTALLY need to be soundtracked into these books!
1. Take a Hint by Victoria Justice--Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Warner and Juliette's relationship, this song is so hilariously true that you have to go listen to it
2. You Found Me by The Fray--Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Adam and Juliette's relationship, one line does it for me specifically
3. Toxic by Britney Spears--Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi, Warner and Juliette's relationship...no really, look up and lyrics and read the words...epic!
4. How To Save A Life by The Vitamin String Quartet--If I Stay by Gayle Forman, pretty self-explanatory for those who have read it
5. Everything Has Changed by Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran--Where She Went by Gayle Forman, I don't know it just fits for me with their story at that moment
6. You Belong With Me by Taylor Swift--Hallowed by Cynthia Hand, Christian to Clara...Yeah, I went there
7. Follow Me Down by 3Oh!3--Splintered by A.G. Howard, sorry had to rip off the movie soundtrack, it was just too good to pass up
8. Run The World by Beyonce-Code Name Verity By Elizabeth Wein, for reals, Queenie and Maddie totally run the world, badass bitches in the house
9. All You Need Is Love by The Beatles--Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver, yeah I went there, I love these books as you can tell by my reviews, love is worth fighting for and sometime's its all you need :)
10. Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran--Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver, ugh I DIE at these lyrics, they are so beautiful and poignant and I just think of Alex and Lena in Delirium...sigh
11. Tainted Love by Marilyn Manson--City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare, no spoilers, if you've read it you know what I'm talking about.
12. Power by Kanye West--Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins, down with President Snow
13. Red by Taylor Swift--The White Queen by Philippa Gregory, reminds me of the relationship between Edward IV and Elizabeth
14. I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift--The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory, totally makes me think about Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn
15. Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars--The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, Katniss and Peeta's relationship...love love love
So I know I am totally forgetting about 20 songs that I know I have said pertain to books but alas, that's all I can think of right now. Hope you guys enjoy! I'll be face palming for the next hour look at everyone else's going, why didn't I think of that?!? <3
I have Power on my Mockingjay playlist (which I'll get around to posting eventually)! Also I love how you pair Run the World with Code Name Verity.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The CNV song was one of my more clever choices, I thought. I surprised myself haha
DeleteTaylor Swift has sooooo many songs that work with books! Very quality list-- I think I'll make it into a spotify playlist. :)
ReplyDeleteShe does! Her personality sucks major but her music rocks pretty hard. I actually had all her songs open on my iTunes and just read the titles waiting for book inspiration to hit me haha. And YOU saying I have a quality list is probably the best compliment EVER! I am beyond flattered!
DeleteOh my word! I am so putting my Spotify to work after this post! LOVE the soundtrack!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, yes! Best compliment!
DeleteEd is the best! Just love him :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Kiss Me is my fav!!
Deletei LOVE how so many books & music go hand in hand - creativity at its finest for sure! I love the Tainted Love pairing in particular. THAT BOOK KILLS ME!
ReplyDeleteRight?! It just fits so well! I love when I hear a song and I'm reminded of book characters! It is just perfect!
DeleteI can see Taylor Swift with The Other Boleyn Girl, I haven't finished reading the book yet but when I saw that you paired the two I started visualizing one of those fan made videos on youtube for the movie.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I can find one.
Oh let me know!
DeleteOhhh, I should have thought of Taylor Swift! I could have described ALLLL the bookish relationships with her songs haha. Though I am obviously not a fan of Warner, the Victoria Justice song made me laugh so hard! That was brilliant! And I adore You Found Me <3
ReplyDeleteRight?! I had her playlist open on my iTunes just waiting for inspiration haha
DeleteAll You Need Is Love is just perfect for Delirium! And You Belong With Me perfectly sums up how Christian feels about Clara.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Love Christian! *swoon*
DeleteLol, but you're right, All you Need is Love is kind of perfect for the Delirium books :)
ReplyDeleteright?! :)
DeleteOMG, another He Is We fan! I love all the songs too, but the Old Demos are still some of my faves :]
ReplyDeleteI love the Splintered pick! You have random music taste...just like me! :P I listen mostly to alterna/folk stuff, but I also secretly love tope 40s stuff hehe
Yes! LOVE He Is We, their music is just perfect! I had all their songs on constant repeat when I was on vacation last year in Europe! Amazing!
DeleteI absolutely love The Fray! I have not read Shatter Me yet but I did just buy it.
ReplyDeleteKiss Me for the Delirium series is a perfect pick :) Awesome list!
Ashley @ The Quiet Concert
