Ready for the soundtrack?

Available for purchase when pigs fly and this story becomes a real film.

I have to have music to write. In fact, my stories are sort of written by music. The songs spur storylines, so I must hear them to write.

Here's my "soundtrack" for this story:

Mimizan- Beirut

Memory Gospel- Moby

Endlessly- Muse

Resurrection Fern- Iron and Wine

Hey Jupiter- Tori Amos

In this world- Moby

Early Morning Rain- Peter, Paul and Mary

Your Protector- Fleet Foxes

The one I love- REM

This land is Mine- Dido

Such Great Heights- Iron and Wine

Hide and Seek- Imogen Heap

I need you tonight- INXS

Fade into you- Mazzy Star

Wish you were here- Pink Floyd

And one last one that deserves some qualification. I heard this song and fell in love with it when I first bought the album last year. I love Iron and Wine, and this song fit this story so well, I was captivated by it. This was last summer.

Then, in the fall, Twilight came out and when I heard Flightless Bird, American Mouth was to be on the soundtrack, I was actually so mad, I sort of cried. It was like the rape of my beautiful song- forever plastered over as the dumb song Bella and Edward danced to at prom. Great.

But I will still claim it as John and Nina's song. I will pretend that millions of tweens don't have it as a ring tone.

(I should mention I am a closet Twilight fan despite the stupid movie) (which I own.) (there, I'm outed)
