I had never heard the second song before and this group as well, I like them!

Mariana Gedia (mystic_coffee) | 3 comments I think Evil Angel by Breaking Benjamin goes really well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHTSR...

Also,
Carnival of Rust by Poets of the Fall
New Divide by Linkin Park
World behind my wall By Tokio Hotel

and Devils never cry from the Game Devil may cry 3


Katie | 3 comments Really enjoyed listening to everyone's recs!

I'll nominate:

1. Exit music by radiohead - perhaps when they are driving into San Fran and surveying all the destruction

"Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape
We escape
Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose
Breathe keep breathing
Don't loose your nerve
Breathe keep breathing
I can't do this alone"

2. Work song by Hozier for Raffe's feels toward Penryn, maybe when he's carrying her body to the refugees and the chaotic scene will just fade to quiet and slomo and this song plays as he emerges from the building...

"My babe would never fret none
About what my hands and my body done
If the Lord don't forgive me
I'd still have my baby and my babe would have me
When I was kissing on my baby
And she put her love down soft and sweet
In the low lamp light I was free
Heaven and hell were words to me
When, my, time comes around
Lay me gently in the cold dark earth
No grave can hold my body down
I'll crawl home to her"

3. And then when the truck is driving away and he's circling and then flys away and the scene fades to her voice over at the end of the book:

"This is the starting of my greatest fear
I'm all packed up, getting out of here
But then you call and tell me not to go
That I'm the one who put the rock n roll
In your life

This is the starting of a brand new day
Never liked this town much anyway
I need this city like I need the rain
I know that somewhere there's a north bound train

Oh I'll
Make it without you
Make it without you
Though my body's laying here
It's my mouth that must be lying now

This is the starting of my fall from grace
My self esteem, oh it's seen better days
But you know I'll never let this go to waste
I'll keep this memory on the map I trace
Back to home"

And Penryn says: "the day is dawning. I never realized what a triumph it is to simply be alive. My sister is with us. Raffe is flying. Everything else is secondary. And for now, that is enough"

Esha (potatothug) | 90 comments This is a song about how Raffe makes ME feel. I mean I totally ship Raffryn but Raffe is just one of a kind...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AzRyx...
It is "Talking Body" by Tove Lo

Esha (potatothug) | 90 comments yeah?!! :D


Natalie | 54 comments Ok so you all know how artists write songs for the book adaptations or even curate the whole soundtrack (e.g: Lorde for Mockingjay Part 1)? Well I really need a collab between Daughter and Hozier for all the lovey/cute scenes!


Wandering Reader (kberhiet) | 11 comments What about this one by Evanescence?

"Lost In Paradise"

I've been believing in something so distant
As if I was human
And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness
In me, in me

All the promises I made
Just to let you down
You believed in me, but I'm broken

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

As much as I'd like the past not to exist
It still does
And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here
I'm just as scared as you

I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

Run away, run away
One day we won't feel this pain anymore

Take it all away
Shadows of you
Cause they won't let me go

Until I have nothing left
And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time
And now I'm lost in paradise

Alone, and lost in paradise

Ahhh!! I was thinking about this one! I LOVE Evanescence and this song! It is the perfect heart throb song for Pen and Raffe.


Natalie | 54 comments Ok everybody this is what happens when I have a day off of work, go get some tea/coffee/etc and get settled this could get long (sorry in advance) xD

Ok so as a Prelude before Angelfall starts I thought of :
Muse-The 2nd Law, Isolated System

Angelfall:
AWOLNATION-Sail
Imagine Dragons-Radioactive
Kari Kimmel- Black
Daughter-Youth
Stars-Dead Hearts (view spoiler)
Sia-Fire meet Gasoline RAFFRYN (view spoiler)
Delta Rae-Bottom of the River
The xx-Angels
Lauren Aquilina-Sinners
NONONO-Pumpin Blood Last scene in the book where Penryn has her monologue :)

World After (I will probably add more to my personal list once I re-read it :D):
Metric-Help I'm Alive
Imagine Dragons-Dream
City & Colour-O'Sister Paige
Daughter-Human
Delta Rae-Bless You Party at the Aerie, little bit of that 20s feel
Florence + the Machine-Never Let Me Go
(view spoiler)
Kelly Sweet-In The Air Tonight (view spoiler)

End of Days:
So I haven't read End of Days but I'm hoping for some epic battles and lots of Raffryn so my pre-reading playlist is:
The Phantoms-Into the Darkness
Imagine Dragons-Battle Cry
30 Seconds to Mars-This is War
Hozier-Foreigner's God could only find the live version nonetheless: amazing
30 Seconds to Mars-Vox Populi "This is a call to arms, gather soldiers time to go to war. This is a battle song brothers, sisters" kinda feels to me like the song for the Resistance
Fall Out Boy-Centuries
And well that's it for now ( I bet all the lists will grow because Florence + the Machine have a new album coming out and I just feel like there will be some songs on it that'll go perfectly with one of the books xD)
Sorry again for the long post, hope you enjoyed some of the music and depending on where you are have a nice day/good night :)

Warrior by Beth Crowley. Look at the lyrics:

You fascinated me
Cloacked in shadows and secrecy
The beauty of a broken angel

I ventured carefully
Afraid of what you thought I'd be
But pretty soon I was entangled

You take me by the hand
I question who I am

Teach me how to fight
I'll show you how to win
You're my mortal flaw
And I'm your fatal sin
Let me feel the sting
The pain
The burn
Under my skin

Put me to the test
I'll prove that I'm strong
Won't let myself believe
That what we feel is wrong
I Finally see what
You knew was inside me
All along

That behind this soft exterior
Lies a warrior

I fell in love with the song when I first heard it in the movie "The Mortal Instruments"!!! The lyrics are perfect for Angelfall scenes. :D

I know right? Some people relate it to The Mortal Instruments others to Divergent but the lyrics are like written for Penryn and Raffe.

I'm a little amazed with how fitting this is. But I still hate you a little bit, 'cause now I can't take the song off repeat. :P

Whoa . This song fits so well , I love it !


Novel Infatuatus  (infatuatedbywords) | 8 comments You have been forewarned, I have some pretty strange taste in music :/ My weirdest playlist hits while reading:

I'll Follow You by Shinedown
Gimme Something Good by Ryan Adams
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
Bullet with Butterfly Wings by The Smashing Pumpkins
I Followed Fires by Matthew and the Atlas
Adam and Eve by Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson
So Far from Your Weapon by The Dead Weather
Red City by Stone Sour
Knights of Shame by AWOLNATION (1st song I listened to while reading Angelfall; I don't know why :/)


Novel Infatuatus  (infatuatedbywords) | 8 comments Oh! This song pops in my head EVERY TIME Penryn's Mom pops up...Makes me laugh :)

They're Coming to Take Me Away- Napoleon XIV


Kayleigh Ruiz | 1 comments Christina Novelli - Concrete Angel

And while my heart beats I promise I won't let you down.

If you keep building these walls
Brick by brick towers so tall
Soon I won't see you at all
Till the concrete angel falls
I knew who you were from the start
But now I don't know who you are
Soon there will be nothing at all
Till the concrete angel falls.

If I'm somewhere else it doesn't mean that I don't see
That you don't trust yourself, that's why you don't trust me
It makes me crazy, when you're crazy, you don't speak
You think you know me, but what you know is just skin deep

It really reminds me of how Raffe acts towards Penryn, especially in Angelfall!

Natalie (nataliesurace) | 24 comments I recently listened to "Girl in the War" by Josh Ritter, and the lyrics remind me a little of Penryn and the End of Days and Raffe's possible thoughts of Penryn being involved in the war.

lottie (outergalactic) Probably a lot of Fall out boy and imagined dragons like everyone has been saying, these in particular...
•The Mighty Fall by Fall Out Boy -> How Raffe fell for Penryn
•Just One Yesturday by Fall Out Boy -> Raffe + Penryn
•Centuries by Fall Out Boy -> For End of days
•Immortals by Fall Out Boy -> Also For End of days
•Demons by Imagine Dragons -> How Penryn and her mum are fighting their 'inner demons' along with others
•Radioactive by Imagine Dragons -> I think fits in well

There's alot more I'm forgetting to name!

Brilliant! Love your choices for the soundtrack!

Well, I think Shawn Mendes's "Imagination" and "this is what it takes" are both perfect for our beloved Raffryn. <3

Natalie | 54 comments Thanks you two :) glad you liked it :) I'm still waiting for the new Florence album because I have a feeling she has some songs in store that'll go great with EoD xD
