Ordinary Girl: A BB Playlist

As I have mentioned before, I like making playlists for characters, stories and relationships that I write. It helps get me in the mood and things like that.

Today (instead of cramming for a Latin test) I started compiling a playlist for Dee throughout Blood Bound. One song per chapter. I call it Ordinary Girl.

  1. We Are - Ana Johnsson
  2. Masterpiece - Meg & Dia
  3. The Walk - Imogen Heap
  4. Taken - Stellar*
  5. Teardrop - Massive Attack
  6. In The Heart Of Juliet - Liv Kristine
  7. Black - Sarah McLaghlan
  8. All I Need - Within Temptation
  9. We Are Broken - Paramore
  10. Before The Dawn - Evanescence
  11. Somebody Help Me - Full Blown Rose
  12. Unlaced - Emilie Autumn [instrumental]
  13. Mystery - Brooke Fraser
  14. One Girl Revolution - Superchick

Playlists

I listen to music all the time, especially when I am writing (or roleplaying), and one of the things I like to do is make up playlists for my characters/stories. I find music helps me get into the “mood” required for writing, and if I have a list of songs that I associate with a certain character or story, it helps make fighting writer’s block so much easier.

Here’s a short list of some of the songs I like to listen to to get me in the mood to work on Ordinary People.

While Your Lips Are Still Red - Nightwish
Kiss while your lips are still red / While he’s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand’s still without a tool / Drown into eyes while they’re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn

The Walk - Imogen Heap
Inside out, upside-down twisting beside myself
Stop that now, ’cause you and I were never meant to meet
I think you better leave; it’s not safe in here / I feel a weakness coming on
