Statues by Nina Nesbitt
Listen/Buy: Youtube • SoundCloud • iTunes

You're just a statue, 
of the boy I used to know. 
You're just a tattoo, 
of the words that we once spoke. You're the dry river, 
where love used to flow. 
But it stills runs through me, 
with you it had to go. 

Quotes: 

"Take it back, Ed. take it all back"

"Take them back, Ed. Here they are. Take back the smile and the night, take it all back, I wish I could"

In Your Arms by Chef'Special

Listen/Buy: Youtube • SoundCloud 

From the day that I met you I stopped feeling afraid

In your arms I feel safe

In your arms I feel safe 

Quotes: 

“I can see it, Ed, I leaned deeper into you, felt you nodding along with the sounds in the room, and your warmth signaled through to me from under your shirt, lovely strong, safe and right.” 

Nothing by Lewis Watson
Listen/Buy: Youtube • iTunes

Take my hand

And I'll show you the way

Look me in the eyes 

And tell me that you feel the same

Quotes: 

"I'm telling you why we broke up, Ed. I'm writing this letter, the whole truth of why it happened. And the truth is that I goddamn loved you so much"
"You either have the feeling or you don’t."

Story Soundtrack is where I feature a book and a song that I think embodies its story. I’ll usually feature a single track or maybe two, but if I can, I’ll create a whole album/mix. This series is irregular, but I’ll usually post something new after listening to a song that reminded me of a book I read. 

I saw this on Stay Bookish and i really like the idea!

THE STORY:

All about the story of the book being featured. Will include the book cover and details such as: Heart of the Matter - a short summary of the book's focus and Moment of Truth - scenes or quotes from the book that brought about the songs included in the soundtrack

THE SOUNDTRACK:

Song(s) that fit the story. Will include the song title + artist, key lyrics that speak to the story and a small explanation why I chose the song for the soundtrack.
