there's a song called The Secret History and it just perfectly captures the vibe of the whole song.

morphine-souvenir
MGMT- little dark age
Joji - Slow Dancing in the dark
King Rule - Baby Blue
Tamino - Cigar
Lana Del Ray - Chemtrails over the country club
Bloodwitch-Fly
Dead Man's Bones - Werewolf heart
Badbadnotgood- Time moves Slow
Radiohead - Fake plastic trees, nude, all I need, climbing up the walls
Wallace Collection - Daydream
Peder-Come with me (guest version Sleep Party people)
Buffalo Springfield - for what it's worth

I hope someone listens to this

Salvatore - Lana Del Rey
Wicked Game - Chris Issak
How soon is now? - The smiths
Californian Dreamin' - The mamas and papas
Gymnopedie No.1 - Erik Satie
Dance of the knights - Sergei Prokofiev

Some combination of Beethoven, EDM, and possibly some Gregorian chant remixes is how I hear the book's musical score. There would need to be some really ancient music in there, like harps and violins. Complicated, lyric heavy music would be appropriate too, I feel, because it is such a dense story filled with hyperliterate people.

radiohead
bowie
any eerie jazz would be good
idk what else :/

Ofc Wicked game by Chris Isaak and some Paganini pieces

The Smiths
Lana Del Rey
Chris Isaak
The Doors
Cocteau Twins
(and I didn't put these only cuz they're my fav artists & bands rn)

Daemonia Nymphe would have to make an appearance!

Maybe the songs "Daemonos," "Invoking Pan," "Hymn to Bacchus," "The Bells of Acheron," "The Fallacious Glance," "A Dagger of the Mind," "Suspicion," and/or "Into The Woods."

Other songs I'd possibly use:
Emmylou Harris - Deeper Well
Muse - Butterflies and Hurricanes
PJ Harvey - Is This Desire?

Lots of Lana Del Rey, some classics and occasional Hozier.

There would have to be a placebo song in there. 'Every you, every me'
The secret history gives a strong 'Cruel intentions' feel.

THE SMITHS

Bartok, Tangerine Dream, Dionne Warwick

This Mortal Coil is from the same era as the release and is fitting. I’d kill to create a soundtrack for TSH

sowieso Skyfall van Adele

nat king cole

Achilles come down is the song that reminds me constantly of the secret history.

Since this was about Bennington mid 80's there wouldn't be any pop songs (I was there). Smiths, Echo and the Bunnymen, Coltrane and wilder jazz, and anything else from college radio at that time.
