Music Monday

I've had a couple of special events happening on the blog recently, so Music Monday has been preempted, but it's back today! Today we have couple more songs from my FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE playlist. The first is by Demi Lovato. I found this song on her CD that I borrowed from the library, and it fit right into the mood of what I was writing.

"Lightweight" by Demi Lovato

The second song is one of my favorites from Coldplay, and it's used as music for an exhibition program in the next book.

"Fix You" by Coldplay

This week as I was listening to the radio in the car, I heard a couple of songs that made me think, "Whoa! Those lyrics go perfectly with my story!" My story being my work-in-process, FIGHTING FOR THE EDGE. The first song is "Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato. Listening to the lyrics, I could totally hear my character Aubrey singing them. The words describe Aubrey's view on love exactly, especially the first stanza:

Puttin my defenses up

Cause I don't wanna fall in love

If I ever did that

I think I'd have a heart attack

"Heart Attack" by Demi Lovato

The second song is "Stay" by Rihanna. In the last chapter I was working on, I wrote the following line:

"Would you stay here tonight? Sleep next to me?" (Sorry, I can't reveal which character says this!)

And then I heard "Stay" on the radio and listened to the lyrics, and again they reminded me of the emotions of a certain relationship in my story, especially this part:

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way

I want you to stay

"Stay" by Rihanna

Come back to the blog tomorrow for a big celebration and tons of giveaways!! You won't want to miss it!

Got caught up in writing last week and forgot Music Monday! This week I'm embracing my inner teen and spotlighting a couple of catchy pop songs that I always have to sing along to. First, a current hit...

"Give Your Heart a Break" by Demi Lovato

And a blast from the past! I was obsessed with this song when I was in sixth grade.

"Only In My Dreams" by Debbie Gibson
