If you enjoyed A Drop in the Ocean by Ron Pope you definitely need to check out some of his other stuff. I listened to 'Wait for You' a couple of times while reading 'Gabriel's Inferno'. I look forward to listening to some of these tracks I've never heard before. I love 'No Light, No Light' by Florence and the Machine. I never thought of how fitting the lyrics were for this novel before :)

Hello Dietchgirl, Saskia and Elena,Thank you for your comments and also for your recommendations.
I'm going to need to craft another soundtrack in order to incorporate these suggestions.
All the best and thanks again,
SR
I kept replaying Matew Barber's "You and Me" starting from the momnet it was mentioned in the book to it's end... still replaying, by the way :)
This is so much fun! I am going to give this more thought but the songs that I kept thinking about while reading this book were Angel Eyes by Sting and Strip by Depeche Mode. Despite Julia's abhorrence to Nine Inch Nails I find many of the songs fitting though I suspect it wouldn't be appropriate to include them since both characters swear never to listen to Trent. Angel Eyes
Have you ever had the feeling
That the world's gone and left you behind
Have you ever had the feeling
That you're that close to losing your mind
You look around each corner
Hoping that she's there
You try to play it cool perhaps
Pretend that you don't care
But it doesn't do a bit of good
You got to seek till you find
Are you never unwind
Try to think
That love is not around
Still it's uncomfortably near
My old heart
Ain't gaining no ground
Because my angel eyes ain't here
Angel eyes
That old devil sent
They glow unbearably bright
Need I say
That my love's misspent
Misspent with angel eyes tonight
So drink up all you people
Order anything you see
Have fun you happy people
The drink and the laugh's on me
Pardon me
But I gotta run
The fact's uncomfortably clear
Gotta find
Who's now number one
And why my angel eyes ain't here
Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here
Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here
Excuse me while I disappear
Stripped
Come with meInto the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/d/depeche+... ]
Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying
Just for me
Thanks so much Houshig and Djag.Lots of great recommendations there.
All the best and thanks for taking the time to make suggestions,
SR
Hi SR, I can imagine how your lyrical prose could inspire many musical connections for your readers. I always thought the night was more violent than the daylight, hmm. ;) I love Warning Sign by Coldplay and many others listed here.
Hey SR, here are a couple of songs I thought of..."Be The One" and "She Is" by The Fray and "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star. I also really like "The Writer" by Ellie Goulding. I'm really enjoying listening to all the other suggestions! Great Idea for a post!
