Do you listen to music while sitting at the computer, typing out a world on paper? It's almost time for me to let go...and say goodbye to the characters that I've created. They're in good hands now. But as the final credits roll, I can't help remembering the music that served as the soundtrack to my book:
The Arcade Fire: Rebellion: Lies
"People say that your dreams are the only things that save ya."
Interpol: Precipitate
"You'll greet my vapours every time that you pass through this room."
Dubstar: Stars
"But as the stars are going out and this stage is full of nothing."
Built To Spill: Strange
"This strange war of promises Let's call this a truce. Call it the truth."
Pixies: Debaser
"Don't know about you but I am un chien Andalusia"
Max Avery Lichtenstein: Tarnation
(soundtrack from the film)
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: Is This Love?
"You're so much different than me. Yeah, I know."
The Knife: Heartbeats
"To call for hands of above to lean on wouldn't be good enough for me, no."
Bloc Party: Blue Light (Engineers anti-gravity remix)
"And you didn't even notice when the sky turned blue. And you couldn't tell the difference between me and you."
Neutral Milk Hotel: Naomi
"I'm hoping she will soon explode into one billion tastes and tunes."
Bloc Party: Like Eating Glass
"Got a fear of the ocean like drinking poison, like eating glass. It's so cold in this house."
Sufjan Stevens: That Dress Looks Nice On You
"I can see a lot of bright in you."
Squarepusher: Square Window
The Chemical Brothers: One Too Many Mornings
The Shins: Caring is Creepy
"I think I'll go home and mull this over before I cram it down my throat."
Secret Frequency Crew: Aqua
Tegan and Sara: Walking With A Ghost
"No matter which way you stay, you're out of my mind."
The Go Team: Everyone's a VIP to Someone
You can bet...I'll be bringing my Ipod to NYC next month when I meet my editors for the second time...
