Lauren :) whats the perfect music for shiver??


Allie like really sad, kinda creepy music i would say.


message 3: by [deleted user] (new)

well i of course would have to say that Summer Girl would have to be on there, and of course all of the songs that Maggie composed. Ummm...Lonely Lullaby by Owl City, its a really pretty song. I dont really know what else, ill probably think of some later though...


Jasmine Um some really soft slow songs i guess


Kenzie [SPOILER ALERT]

i think The Harold Song by Kesha, for the part when Sam becomes a wolf again. because, the lyrics go;
i miss you're soft lips, i miss you're white sheets, i miss the scratch of you're un-shaved face on my cheek,
i see you're face in strangers on the street, i still say you're name when in talking in my sleep.
so, i'd say that sorta sounds like what Grace was going through when Sam was gone. ;)

Madeleine Hmmm...
I would say Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade for, well, the whole book, and Taking Over Me by Evanescence for the part when Sam turns back into a wolf.

Fall for You would be perfect!! !


Syahira I had some that I reused when I'm reading.

Silent Hill OST (like Promise or Letter)
The Atonement OST (including Claire de Lune)
Stateless - Bloodstream (yes, its a vampire song, wtheck..)
Digital Daggers - Head over Heels (yes, more TVD song)

and most perfect song for werewolves:

Florence + The Machine - Howl (how can you not see the werewolves in the lyrics "like some child possessed, the beast howls in my veins" and "you are the moon that breaks the night for which I had to howl"

Silent Hill was a horror playstation game that I love because the music is always haunting and I like to listen to it when I need to imagine foggy or snowy mood while reading it.

The Atonement's song was beautiful piece on its own. The sad piano and violin collection of love story which always works when I'm reading love-love scene. And the movie always made me cry, and so, I relate the feelings I get from the movie with the songs.

"Bloodstream" and "Head over Heels" was the songs used in "The Vampire Diaries".

Bloodstream have this piano chords that always kinda hits me with melancholy and the lyrics especially the metaphorically expressive words kinda stuck me long enough that I made a youtube video of it : "I think I might’ve inhale you/I could feel you behind my eyes/You gotten into my bloodstream/I could feel you floating in me"

"Head over Heels" was a cover by Digital Daggers which originally from Tears for Fears. Always did love the song "Don't take my heart/Don't break my heart/Don't-don't throw it away". DD made it sounds sadder.

Shiver gave off a gloomy and impending doom sort of way. Sometimes it affected my song selections.

Hannah Slipped Away By: Avril Lavgine


Marianna Sing me a love By: Barlow girl sorta describes what Sam goes through each time he becomes wolf.

Anything but Ordinary By: Avril Lavgine The way Grace feels when Sam goes wolf.

Lily It will rain - Bruno Mars.
Jar of hearts? - Christina Perri
Someone like you? - adele.
I can't really think of any songs to match Shiver.

message 26: by Asa (new) - rated it 5 stars

Asa B I would say that "Daydreamer" by Adele would fit the way Grace feels about Sam and "The Way I Am" by Ingrid Michaelson to describe how Grace loved Sam even as a wolf. Also "It will Rain" by Bruno Mars And surely there's more, obviously, but these are what come to my mind at the moment

Mel Good Times Are Gonna Come by Aqualung. I think it would be best for one of those dramatic Cole/Isabel scenes in Linger. The lyrics suit their relationship perfectly.
http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/aqualu... are the lyrics for anyone interested:)

I love Head Over Heels so much, it instantly makes any scene eerier and more mysterious and it's not just a TVD song, they used it in Degrassi and it was awesome:D


Kimberly Definitely some slow songs but not all slow songs. Kiss me slowly by parachute for the first night sam and Grace get to stay together!!(: Broken by seether and ami lee is a really good one too because it explains how Sam needs Grace because of all of the terrible things that happened in his past.

Erin I have the song!!!!!!!!!!!! Face of the Earth by Toby Mac!
Its been a long time coming
since I saw your face
Since we held it down
Since we were in the chase
It was the road less traveled
The path less formed
A skinny trail
It was barely worn

But we kept walkin'
and slippin' and talking'
And runnin' and fallin'
And cryin' and crawlin'

We were in the trenches
On top of the world
Young refugees but we were momma's pearls
Where you been dog?
Where you been?

I thought you fell off the face of the earth
I thought you fell, I thought you fell
I thought you fell off the face of the earth
I thought you fell, I thought you fell

Its been way too long and we've come too far
For you to drop out of my life like a falling star
Right off my radar
Not a sign or a trace
You know I had love for you that's Bigger than mistakes

Now Hope Road is calling
Let's pack you up and move
'Cause real friends are willing to intrude
So I'm gonna push you in because I wanna love you well
Let the ghosts of your past rest

Open up the door
This is the first day of the rest of your life
What are you waiting for?
This is the first day of the rest of your life
Open up the door

To life ...
Behold I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door
I will come in ...

You'd probably know it if you heard it. It's called Iris but that's not the chorus:

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

Yes! I agree.


Brooke Come Undone by Duran Duran:

Mine, immaculate dream, made breath and skin, I`ve been waiting for you,
Signed, with a home tattoo, Happy birthday to you was created for you.


(Can`t ever keep from falling apart.. At the seams)
(Can`t I believe you`re taking my heart.. to pieces)

Ahh, it`ll take a little time, might take a little crime to come undone
Now we`ll try to stay blind, to the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry.

Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone.

(chorus)


Words, playing me deja vu, Like a radio tune I swear I`ve heard before,
Chill, is it something real, Or the magic I`m feeding off your fingers

(Can`t ever keep from falling apart.. at the seams)
(Can I believe you`re taking my heart.. to pieces)


Lost, in a snow filled sky, we`ll make it alright, to come undone,
Now we`ll try to stay blind, to the hope and fear outside,
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind -
And blow me in to cry.

(chorus)

fade...
