Soundtrack Sunday – YAMPELLEC’S IDOL

It’s here! The latest Livi novel came out this week, so here we have the full playlist.

2WEI – “In the End” (cover)
I talked about this one in more detail here–it’s the epic trailer theme song for the book.

Jonatha Brooke – “Inconsolable“
Livi POV

Orelia Has Orchestra – “Suggestions“
Livi POV
It just takes a second for my world to come crumbling down//Oh I’m sure in the distance you can hear that awful sound//Oh I plead for an answer, plead for an answer from you//But if you give me an answer, that just makes no sense then what’s the use//And just like that my life is broken//I can barely breathe

A Great Big World feat. Christina Aguilera – “Say Something“
I talked about this one in more detail last week; it’s the first big confrontation scene song.

Christina Perri – “Jar of Hearts“
Post-confrontation as Livi spirals.

Katelyn Tarver – “You Don’t Know What It’s Like“
Livi…has a lot going on and mostly wants to be left alone. So this whole song.
So let me just give up//So let me just let go//If this isn’t good for me//Well, I don’t wanna know//Let me just stop trying//Let me just stop fighting//I don’t want your good advice or reasons why I’m alright//You don’t know what it’s like

Corey Taylor – “Wicked Game” (cover)
It’s not quite how I hear Iluka’s voice–his is a little huskier–but it’s close, and it’s an Iluka POV song.

Brian D’Oliveira – “Overture“

Correatown – “Believe” (cover)
The chapter titled “Life After Love”, the quiet moment after sliding down the muddy hill.

Imagine Dragons – “Believer” (both original and acoustic)
Wrote some kissing to this one–it may not seem like a kissing song, but welcome to my brain!

Hozier – “Movement“
More kissing/”boundaries” discussion.

Brian D’Oliveira – “One with the Jungle“
SO glad Tomb Raider came out with a game set in Peru while I was writing my Peru book; I used a few songs from the soundtrack on it.

Brian D’Oliveira – “Baptism of Fire“
Doppelganger theme.

Sierra Eagleson – “In the Air Tonight” (cover)

Audra Mae – “Little Sparrow” (cover)
Dolly’s original too. Marta’s song, I talked about here.

Shawn James – “I Try” (cover)
At the airport, Iluka POV.
I play it off, but I’m dreaming of you//I’ll keep my cool, but I’m fiendin’//I try to say goodbye and I choke//I try to walk away and I stumble//Though I try to hide it, it’s clear//My world crumbles when you are not near

Lisa Loeb – “How“
Second big confrontation scene with the truth.

Chase Eagleson – “The Scientist” (cover)
Other song during the second big confrontation scene with the truth.

Ducci – “Something I Need” (piano cover)
I can’t have a soundtrack in the series without some cover of the main Livi and West theme. I wish this was more somber to be more bittersweet but it worked for me.

NEONI – “Apologize” (cover)
Livi sits by herself in the park and processes what she’s learned.
I loved you with a fire red and I was turnin’ blue//And to say//Sorry like the angel//Heaven let me think was you//But I’m afraid//It’s too late to apologize

Brian D’Oliveira – “Innocent Death“

Alessia Cara – “River of Tears“
I thought that you would be the hero//Come and save the day//But you’re a villain//Your sins unforgiven and Cry me a river, build myself a bridge//I’m over this//Can’t let memories become the death of me//I’m glad to see everything that you are//And I believe that you are everything I needed//But I don’t need no more//I’m going down, and you have watched me drown//In a river of tears, lost beneath the stream//Under the waves, I’ve found the strength to say//The river of tears has washed me clean

TRILLS – “Speak Loud“
Livi snaps as she approaches the private plane.

Sophie Zelmani – “I’ll Remember You“
Last chapter before the epilogue, conversation in the SUV and final goodbye. Livi POV

Daniel Ahearn – “I Will Let You Go“
Same scene, West POV.
No more paving the present with pain from my past//And I will let you go

Eva Cassidy – “Fields of Gold“
Epilogue song.

Aron Wright – “In the Sun” (cover)
Other epilogue song.
I picture you in the sun wondering what went wrong

Imagine Dragons – “Next to Me“
Iluka shows up unexpectedly (this one’ll probably appear quite a bit in the next playlist too). Livi POV.
Something about the way that you walked into my living room//Casually and confident lookin’ at the mess I am//But still you, still you want me and Oh, I always let you down//You’re shattered on the ground//Still, I find you there//Next to me//And oh, stupid things I do//I’m far from good, it’s true//But still, I find you//Next to me
