Soundtrack Things

a bit ago, my husband asked me a pretty cool question: 

"once you're published... if someone wanted to make your book into a movie, and you had a say in what ended up on the film soundtrack, what are 8 songs you'd want on it?" 

realistically, i didn't have to think too long for any of these tracks, because i write to a soundtrack, always. i thought i'd share them, in case anyone is interested. all of these songs create a real feel for either the story as a whole, or for a specific scene. pardon me as i nerd the f out, guys. for real.

in no particular order:

Bjork, "Army of Me"
(this was the most played track while i was writing the initial draft of this manuscript.)



Civil Twilight, "Letters from the Sky"
 

Flyleaf, "Fully Alive" 

Frou Frou, "Let Go" 

Radiohead, "How to Disappear Completely" 
(radiohead comprises the majority of my writing playlist for this novel.) 
via 

Massive Attack, "Butterfly Caught" 
(massive attack is also a large portion of this playlist.) 

Incubus, "Dig" 

Death Cab for Cutie, "You Are a Tourist" 


what do you think? for those of you who know me, are you surprised? for those of you who have read this manuscript, can you "see" the story a bit better when you consider this soundtrack?
