Haha you have a lot of great ideas! I'm glad I'm a part of this group:) I sure do have a lot of fun.
What about the song "Desert Rose" by sting?You can listen it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3lWwB...
I don't know about you but this song reminds me of Will Herondale and his feelings for Tessa so much.
Particularly when Sting says that he dreams of gardens in the desert sand, comparing love to a kind of mirage, hallucination.
I think that due to what happened to him, Will has a troubled mind, in the verge of madness even. We can associate the mirage, hallucinations here.
Will has to put up a façade because he fervently believes that those who love him will die. And between lies, he lost his way and doesn't know anymore what is the truth and what is his imagination.
And then he falls in love with Tessa but he pulls back, never living it for real so it seems for like a dream than reality...
And if we were to think that the desert is his life, meaning that his life is "lifeless", we would be led to think that only his love makes him alive for real.
And it is all like an intoxication because it is very strong but at the same time, it hurts him...

I have to say that 'Watercolour' and 'Witchcraft' by Pendulum remind me of the Hunger Games when I first read them and now, when I reread, they keep playing subconciously through my mind.and another that comes clearly to mind is 'How far we've come' by Matchbox twenty when I read Passion by Lauren Kate. As much as I disliked the series, I can appreciate how insanely epic the soundtrack would be if it were to include this song.
More of a Mockingjay song was 'Uprising' by Muse which I tgought suits it perfectly.
'Seven Nation Army' by the White Stripes always reminds me of the Alex Rider Series by Anthony Horowitz
That'a all that comes to mind at the moment but I will probably think of others :)

Okay, I am very sorry, but the link won't post up here from youtube. The song is Your Love is a Song by Switchfoot.Made me think of the Hunger Games somehow. Hard to explain, but it did.
Viva La Vida by Coldplay reminds me of the book Cast a Bright Shadow by Tanith Lee.The whole rise and fall of a king in the song is very reminiscent of the events that happen in the book :)

Lady Gaga with the Hunger Games. I've never listened to her songs, but she'll fit right in with the Capitol!

By Your Side by Tenth Avenue North made me think of how Peeta was there for Katniss through the 2nd Hunger Games during her nightmares and in the cave in the 1st Hunger Games.Seems like all the songs have something that reminds us of the Hunger Games!

Yes!
What about this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE3qtE... (Lana Del Rey - You can be the boss)This song reminds me of 50 shades trilogy. How about you?
"Firefly" by A-Teens made me think of Rue.

I can't help but think of The Body Finder whenever I hear "You Belong with Me" by Taylor Swift.
I would have to say that Rhianna's new song 'Diamonds' reminds me of when in Stardust Yvaine kisses Tristan and so 'shines'. In particular the repetative lyrics that go "...you're beautiful like diamonds in the sky...shine bright like a diamond'. Another one would be Taylor Swift's song 'Never gettin' back together' (unsure of the title, if that is it?) and this reminds me of Ron and Lavinder brown's relationship in Harry Potter - after all she is SO clingy and persistant!
The song 'Zombie' by The Pretty Reckless always makes me think of
And 'Demons' by Imagine Dragons is the 'official' Dalina song for me, so that reminds me of
:D

"We're Never Getting Back Together" pretty much sums up Lavender Brown :D Great thinking, Lucinda!!
Not forgetting the songs that were in fact inspired by characters from books:)Raistlin Majere from Weiss and Hickman's Dragonlance series inspired Soulforged by Blind Guardian

Mine: "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story
Ignore the name 'Maria' and replace it with 'Jessamine'. This song reminds me of Jessamine in Clockwork Prince, when she falls for Nate and thinks she's in love!!
