Soundtrack Sunday – SOLOMON’S SEAL Edition

This book has been in progress since 2012, so there’s a whole amalgamation of music…

Gabriella Cilmi – “On a Mission“
Livi’s theme (I wrote her opening scenes to it).  I wish I could link you guys to the old Buffy vid done to this song.
If you think I’m scared, you must be tripping//Foot on gas, key in ignition//Can’t stop now ’cause I’m on a mission//I am a woman on a mission//Nothing can stop me, I’m stronger than ever

Martina Topley-Bird – “I Only Have Eyes for You“
There’s a dance scene mentioning this song–this was the version I’d listened to.

U2 – “Elevation”
Of course I was going to have songs from my Tomb Raider soundtrack.

Radiohead – “Fake Plastic Trees“
It’s not actually on this book’s soundtrack, it’s in reference to something in Livi’s backstory (a joke that’s not entirely a joke).

Graeme Revell – “Stone Monkey Battle“
It was less stone monkeys and more the early serpent-dragon battles in the caves.

Immediate Music – “Prometheus Rising”
Livi drops down the pitch to save Laurel.

Two Steps from Hell – “Mercy in Darkness“
Livi locks eyes with the tiger.

Immediate Music – “Serenata Immortale”
A Livi theme.

Peter Connelly & Martin Iveson – “Angel of Darkness (Main Theme)“

Troel Brun Folmann – “Tomb Raider: Underworld (Main Theme)“
Yes, I went through all the Tomb Raider themes I had, shut up.

Troel Brun Folmann – “Tomb Raider: Legend (Main Theme)”
ALL the Tomb Raider themes. This was actually in a lot of the Ethiopia scenes.

Troel Brun Folmann – “Tomb Raider: Anniversary (Main Theme)”
As was this.

Immediate Music – “An Epic Age“
Wrote the Livi-fights-a-dragon to this one, the chapter Drakon Rising. You can hear the moment at 1:01 where Momma Drakon opens her eye, and 2:19 when Livi…yeah, you’ll see. 😉

UnKle – “Burn My Shadow“
One of West’s themes.

Jason Graves – “Calling for Help“
In the caves.

Destiny’s Child – “Survivor“
Look, Livi basically has my running playlist.
I’m a survivor//I’m not gon’ give up//I’m not gon’ stop//I’m gon’ work harder

E.S. Posthumus – “Elba“
When Livi arrives in the villa at the end.

E.S. Posthumus – “Menouthis“
More villa battle.

Sara Barielles – “Breathe Again“
The epilogue theme.
All those words came undone and now I’m not the only one//Facing the ghosts that decide if the fire inside still burns

And, finally, the series’ theme for my two favourites:

OneRepublic – “Something I Need“

I hope you’re ready for Solomon’s Seal on Tuesday! You can pre-order everywhere books are sold.
