A little explanation might be in order.  My muse exists in music.   Logic maps the story, but music gives it its soul and sends my characters in directions that surprise even me. what I'm left with is an eclectic handful of songs that—in my thoughts—relate to certain scenes or more typically, relationships between characters.  Some authors cast their books with popular actors/actresses.  (Which I do have some ideas, by the way.)  I'd rather cast the music as it connects more directly to my creative process.  Below are a few of the songs I think suit the Hollows.  Have a suggestion?  Feel free to add it below in the Comment Section

 

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Rachel ~~~~~~~~

 

 

The songs I've found that I feel relate to Rachel cover a wonderfully wide span.  Recently, a new-to-me band, Coldplay has captured my attention, and "Lost" seems to fit Rachel pretty well.  (I really like this group.)  And in regards to her love life, "I'm not Over" by Carolina Liar is a nice fit.  "Believe" by The Bravery, has captured my attention in regards to Rachel's latest fix with Al.  And since the release of The Outlaw Demon Wails, I can share with you the song "Temptation" by Garbage.  But possibly the closest song I've found that fits her future is from NIN, "The Line Begins To Blur."  Breaking Benjamin's "Breathe," seems to capture Rachel after Kisten almost perfectly.  After seeing the "Lithium" video from Evanescence, I was full of thoughts of Rachel in the Ever-After. 

 

On her lighter, push-on-regardless attitude, Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" casts a fantastic light.  Going back a ways is Alice Cooper's "Own Worst Enemy," which casts a good light on her day-to-day mishaps.  One that ties in with Trent is "Metal Heart" by Garbage.  "Have You Ever" by The Offspring, and "Save Yourself" from Stabbing Westward are also good for getting a feel for Rachel.  "Passive" off A Perfect Circle's eMOTION fits her, though I'm torn yet as to who else it relates too.  "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf fits her pretty well on a good day.  I'd be willing to make it her theme song for a while. ;-) 

 

As her story progresses, NiN's "Down in it" has a special meaning, as does "Kinda I Want To" and "Sin."  "Suicide Note" by Johnette Napolitano on the Underworld soundtrack has begun to cast shadows on Ivy and Rachel's ever evolving, complex relationship.  And "Thinking of You," by A Perfect Circle has whispers of Rachel and Ivy in it.   As she finds herself pulled deeper into the Hollow's underworld, "Fields of Innocence" by Evanescence seems to fit more and more.

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Ivy ~~~~~~~~

 

Ivy's character is one of the most complex I've ever tried to sketch with my pen, and she's claimed a correspondingly large portion of music.  I understand her motivations, but she remains a mystery to even me at times, a confusing mix of human vulnerabilities and vampiric drives. 

 

Most recently I found a song by Death Cab For Cutie, "I will Possess Your Heart." It seems to hit Ivy's mindset concerning Rachel, whether Rachel agrees or not.  On the other side of Ivy is "Pearls" by Sade From the smooth silky jazz sound to the soulful lyrics of a woman struggling to be . . . who she wants to be, it has Ivy all over it.  Thanks to my link to "all things cool and musical," I found a Garbage track, "Never Be Free" that just about knocked me down at how well it resonated with Ivy and her thoughts on Rachel.  Going back to a few near-past albums, I found "Wish" from NIN to be an excellent fit for Ivy's frustrations--especially on a bad day.  Stabbing Westward and their track "What Do I have To Do?" is scrumptious at nailing Ivy's inner dilemma.  "So What" by Jeff Beck hits her other side.  The power, the intensity.  It's all there in a sleek black package.  Yummy.

 

"Faint" by Linkin Park, "Silhouettes" by Smile Empty Soul, and "Everybody's Fool" were all all suggested by readers, (I'm sorry, I can't remember who) and now that I've had a chance to get a good listen, I wholeheartedly agree.  Kip Winger's "Faster" has Ivy all over it.  NiN's "Terrible lie" "Sanctified" and "Something I Can Never Have" are good matches to the plot lines, too.  "Gravity" by A Perfect Circle is a good, too, but it's a bit too collected, not quite confused enough. Evanescence's "Away from Me" gave me chills at how close it fit Ivy's predicament.

 

Ivy's fall from grace I first heard in Duran Duran's, "Save a Prayer."  (Okay, now you're laughing at me or sitting there with a puzzled look wondering who Duran Duran is.  I told you it was an eclectic stack of music.)  And I saw who pushed her into falling after hearing Evanescence's "Going Under." 

 

Finally, there have been a few songs that relate to both Rachel and Ivy, but the one that I feel captures the situation best has got to be "My Immortal" by Evanescence.  The power and depth of that piece of music has left a mark on me, and won't let go.

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Jenks ~~~~~~~~

 

Track ten on the Ocean's Eleven soundtrack, "Planting the Seed," fits Jenks flitting about as a gardener.  Thanks to Tim from Tenn., I found "Peter Gunn" done by Henry Mancini.  It fits fantastically.  (Think The Blues Brothers)  Jenks's son, Jax, gets into trouble thanks to "Red-Tape" from Agent Provocateur, which is also on the Underworld soundtrack.  And please don't write to tell me the song isn't really about little thieves.  Inspiration is where you find it.   ;-)

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Kisten ~~~~~~~~

 

"Thinking of You," by A Perfect Circle seems to fit Kisten.  Also from A Perfect Circle is "Weak and Powerless."   But the best fit for Kisten I've found so far is "Never Say Never," from Queens of the Stone Age off the Punisher soundtrack  The depth of that piece is hidden by the ego-testical attitude of the refrain--just like Kisten's depth is shrouded under a carefully constructed front to disarm and beguile.  NiN's "The Only Time" fits a plot line that Kisten wiggled his way into. 

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Kisten & Rachel ~~~~~~~~

 

With the advent of certain events in the books, Kisten's music has taken a definite turn.  Breathe by Breaking Benjamin fits really, really well as a way to capture Rachel's emotions.  Gave me goose bumps.

 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~ Trent ~~~~~~~~~

 

I'm slowly finding music to fit Trent's outlook on life and his goals.  Most recently, I've found "DOA" by the Foo Fighters, which at first I though had a too-upbeat feel, but Trent's got to have a good day occasionally, and the line "dancing with the bones of my buried past" just hit me as extremely apropos.  Going back to some early Police, "Murder by Numbers" seems to work well.  "Untouchable" by Garbage works with Trent, too.  A piece of music off the Queen of the Damned soundtrack fits Trent Kalamack fairly well, especially the lyrics that Stephanie McKay sings.  Try track 13, "Excess" by Tricky.  If Trent believes in anything, it's people.  "Guilty" by Gravity Kills and  "The American Way" by The Crystal Method hits his drug-lord persona perfectly. 

 

 

~~~~~~~~~ Takata ~~~~~~~~~

 

Oddly enough, I'm just now starting to find music that evokes Takata to me.  Perhaps because he is my musician?  Anyway, Nickelback's "Rockstar" is perfect.  Especially the line, "Trade this life for fortune and fame."  Dig a little farther back, and the Eagles "Life's Been Good" (to me so far) hits Takata, very nicely.  I've always loved that song, and now I have an excuse to play it to death.  (grin)

 

 

~~~~~~~~~ Newt ~~~~~~~~~

 

Newt is absolutely nuts, which has no reflection on the bands that I've found to relate to her.  ;-)  Guy told me about Ozzy Osbourne's latest, and after listening to "I'm Not Going Away" I totally agree with his assessment that it is Newt from front to back.  Two more that bring Newt to mind are NiN's "Only" and "Every Day is Exactly the Same."  I'm expecting more from this character, so I'm curious myself as to what is going to show up here to reflect on Newt.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~ Piscary ~~~~~~~~~

 

A fellow music aficionado suggested "Sympathy for the Devil" by Guns and Roses, and after playing it to death, I realized it cast wonderful shadows on Piscary, one of Cincinnati's Master vampires, though you will all have to wait until book two to see what I mean.  "Pet" and "Lullaby" by A Perfect Circle strike close to home with Piscary as well in regards to warping his scions.  Piscary's restaurant after Kisten assumes management brings to mind Rob Zombie's "Living Dead Girl."  Think line-dancing vampires.  Yes.  Line-dancing vampires.  I only hope Rob will forgive me.

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Big Al ~~~~~~~~

 

I finally found a piece of music that reminded me of Big Al, my demon in crushed green velvet and smoked glasses.  Try "Mr. Tinkertrain" by Ozzy Osbourne.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~ Nick ~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

It took a while, but I'm finally nailing down a few pieces of music that I can relate to Nick.  From Kip Winger, comes "Sure was a Wildflower."  "That's What I Get" from NiN works really well, too.

 

 

~~~~~~~~~~ Ceri ~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Audioslave's "Doesn't Remind Me" casts shadows on Ceri and her efforts to resume a normal life after her servitude.

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Seduction ~~~~~~~~

 

As the plotlines progress, I'm finding myself collecting a few pieces of music of seduction, and in the spirit of avoiding spoilers, I'm not saying whom they relate to.  Dipping wa-a-a-ay back, I found Sting's "I Burn for You," which has a hidden thread of evil in it if you are looking (subtle . . .) and a crystalline purity that gives it a delicious threat.  Evanescence's "Even in Death," which is terribly tragic.  But in my thoughts, I have yet to find a more seductive piece of music than "New Years Prayer" by Jeff Buckley off his sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk.  Sigh. You may have heard it before as it's used as the beginning music for The Dead Zone, but the real thing is oh so much more (languorous stretch) seductive. . . .  Also from Jeff Buckley is "Lilac Wine" which has all the markings of an old jazz song, and "You and I."

 

 

~~~~~~~~ The Ever-After ~~~~~~~~

 

I found, thanks to The-Guy-In-The-Leather-Jacket, a piece of music that is remarkably close to my idea of the ever-after.  A Perfect Circle's remake of Lennon's "Imagine."  Think of a red-smeared sky and a broken city skyline, and you've just about got it.

 

 

~~~~~~~~ Miscellaneous ~~~~~~~~

A while back, I ran into an entire album that just about blew me away in how many tracks related to story lines I was developing.  It also made me a Nine Inch Nails fan, something I really didn't expect.  Anyway, the entire album Pretty Hate Machine has found a place in the Hollows for me, every song but the last easily related to a developing or crumbling relationship.

Almost the entirety of the soundtrack for Underworld seems to have found a place in the Hollows.  RCV 22:20 by Puscifer speaks to me of Kisten's long ago relationship with Ivy before she met Rachel and went on the wagon, so to speak.  (That woman was a ba-a-a-a-ad girl.)

Ooo... I suggested in the wrong spot. Sorry *blush* A Few from Emilie Autumn could fall under many but one stands out the most For Ivy 'I want my Innocence back' seemed to have her 'tude http://vampirefreaks.com/eautumn Zombie Girl has a few as well but the one I would think Jenks would end up singing from time to time would be 'Go Zombie' http://vampirefreaks.com/Official-Zombie-Girl ...There is one other "Group" that might turn an Ever-After Ear...but they don't do their own stuff. The take songs and well...creep them out a bit. :) http://vampirefreaks.com/gregorian01 Hope the links are ok sorry if not! *Cold Wet noses* ~Woffie~

04 Sep 2008

for kisten- a boy brushed red living in black and white by underoath.

04 Sep 2008

nightmare by halifax, for ivy and rachels relationship. from brooke in illinois.

04 Sep 2008

for rachel and nick dr. jones by aqua;) by madison USA

04 Sep 2008

For Ivy: "Love Song For A Vampire " by Annie Lennox ;-)Yours sincerely of me. Regine *grin*

03 Sep 2008

I kinda think he Eagles song 'Hotel California' would be a sort of fit to Rachel and her new 'job' after 'Outlaw Demon Wails'. I love the line..."You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave."

02 Sep 2008

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart - definitly fits Ivy (in relation to Rachel)

01 Sep 2008

"Crush" by jennifer paige for rachel and ivy

31 Aug 2008

I think "Another World" by Beborn Beton is a really good one for the Ivy and Rachel after Kisten died it almost would sound like he was trying to console them after he had died and wanted them to move on. Hope you enjoy....Jadia

31 Aug 2008

Thinking perhaps Lullaby by the Cure for Al. When the line goes " Spider man is having me for dinner tonight" I get images of Al doing his demonic thing. Yeah, I can definitely see Al in that song.

29 Aug 2008

First posting here so a little nervous. But I have to say. For Ivy/Rachel or even just Ivy I think that Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have is perfect =] Very haunting and tormented,which I believe suits them both well! Kimberley (UK)

28 Aug 2008

For Rachel and Ivy It's my life by Talk Talk

27 Aug 2008

Wings of Steel by Collide reminds me of the everafter with lyrics like "in the middle of darkness, there's a light" "chasing the ghost of time" and "where you aspire-you cannot get there from here" Also by Collide is Halo, which might fit how some see Rachel. (Since you like Garbage & Evanescence, Collide is a short trip down the musical hall.)

27 Aug 2008

I always think of Kisten when I hear the song "Hold You In My Arms" by Ray LaMontagne. (Ironically enough, the album is called "Trouble" and it has a woman blindfolded and dancing with a devil on the cover.) I always picture Rachel grieving whenever I hear this song. (Makes me want to cry too.)

26 Aug 2008

"Snap your fingers, Snap your neck" by Prong for Newt

25 Aug 2008

I'm sure it's been said before but Of Wolf and Man by Metallica for David and Picking Me To Pieces by Ministers Daughter for Ivy. Angelfairy

25 Aug 2008

rachel: bush - adrenaline rachel and nick: voltaire - see you in hell rachel and ivy (kind-of): rasputina - sign of the zodiac and my dying bride - like gods of the sun ivy: dream theater - missunderstood (newt:dream theater - strange deja vu anathema - empty life of agony - through and through iced earth - melancholy mushroomhead - thirteen [all including hidden track "Crazy"] ozzy ozzbourne - diary of a madman tool - sober) memory of: anathema - a natural disaster my dying bride - black god

25 Aug 2008

Lies - Evanescence It's perfect. My friend and I have decided that if the series ever becomes a movie, this should be song for the previews. This song makes me think of Ivy the most - I think. Here are some of the lyrics. They'll never see I'll never be I'll struggle on and on to feed this hunger Burning deep inside of me But through my tears breaks a blinding light Birthing a dawn to this endless night Arms outstretched, awaiting me An open embrace upon a bleeding tree Rest in me and I'll comfort you I have lived and I died for you Abide in me and I vow to you I will never forsake you

25 Aug 2008

"Until The End" and "Breakdown" by Breaking Benjamin would be great additions. Both songs would work well for Rachel!

25 Aug 2008

My Bad, Meant Erica, Alicia Is 1 of my Characters =P

24 Aug 2008

Have a go at the latest Tori Amos album, American Doll Posse, there's loads on it to fit the storyline, in particular the Ivy-Rachel relationship.

23 Aug 2008

4 Marshal & Rachel "Whats your Name"-tinx

22 Aug 2008

Tears of The Moon...by conjour 1... -tinx

22 Aug 2008

Definitely have to have 'Pure Morning' by Placebo for Ivy and Rachel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQQmAP9Poo4

22 Aug 2008

"Virgin State of Mind" by K's Choice -- Ivy in relation to her disparaging herself for giving in. "Just So You Know" by American Head Charge -- Ivy and Rachel. "Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks (I usually don't listen to country, but this reminds me of Rachel, and her ability to overcome.)

21 Aug 2008

Every time I hear the song "Control" by Poe, I get this mental image of Ivy, all dressed in leather, crooning to Piscary with an evil little smile on her face. The whole song's at least a little applicable, but there are a few lines that fit so very well: "You thought you could keep me from loving You thought you could feed on my soul But while you were busy destroying my life What was half in me has become whole" "Haunted", also by Poe, also says Ivy to me, though in a more subdued, playing-the-piano-in-the-church-alone kinda way.

21 Aug 2008

Hi. I am a Trench fan I think that It's All the Same by Sick Puppies fits Trent with Rachel as well as Diary of Jane by Breaking Benjamin.

20 Aug 2008

Hey! I've heard a couple of songs which I later found out were on the underworld soundtrack, but they are by Maynard James Keenan's, from Tool, side band Puscifer...Rev 22:20 is so seductive and Undertaker speaks for itself...thanks for listening :) -BelleMorte, Washington :)

20 Aug 2008

Eloise by The Damned -it's going to date me and others who will remember this one but check this band out, it deffinitely belongs in the Hollows- creepy, sexy and omg i have to hunt down the cd right now! It will so finish setting the mood for book 4 yahoo!!!!

20 Aug 2008

Piscary -- Twisted Sister, "The Beast" from their 1984 album, Stay Hungry. Even better is the re-mix version on their re-mixed album, Still Hungry. Jenks -- TinSmith (a couple of albums are on Amazon). They have a song, I think is called, "Little Black Fox" -- about the Devil giving some medieval hunters a run for their money.

20 Aug 2008

Since I born and raised in Cincinnati, I think it would be appropriate for "Welcome to the Jungle" by Guns and Roses ( Cincinnati Bengals theme song) for Rachel, Jenks, and the rest of the "crew". This (I think) enbodies what Rachel and the rest feel somedays when they they are up to their necks in trouble. I also think that this is what Rachel envisons her life to be at times.....one big jungle of a mess with no way out. Thanks for your time and the GREAT reading!!!! Tammy Trollope

19 Aug 2008

Choke by Hybrid (Rachel) The beginning is the end is the beginning by smashing pumpkins (Rachel)

19 Aug 2008

18 Aug 2008

Looks like I've got quite a list here... that's 10 minutes I've distracted myself from Jonesing for the next book... :) - Kisten and Rachel: "Arclight" by VNV Nation. - Ivy and Rachel: "Hands Around My Throat" by Death in Vegas. - The Ever-After: "Spider" (and the '8-Legged' mix) by Xorcist (aka DJ Bat, aka Peter Stone). Instrumental and creepy as hell. - Newt: "Armenia" by Einsturzende Neubauten. This is what it sounds like to be insane. - Ivy: "The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell" by David Bowie; "Beauty Never Fades" by Junkie XL. - Rachel vs. Trent: "Control" by Poe. - David: "Dayvan Cowboy" by Boards of Canada. - Jenks: "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop. - Algaliarept: "Red Right Hand" by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (also the DJ Spooky remix). - General Atmosphere: "Dark" by Gary Numan ('Don't let the light shine on me / I am the demon that waits inside you...'). Rob Dougan's "Furious Angels" album. Xorcist. VNV Nation. NIN of course. Instrumental stuff by Graeme Revell (Red Planet, Pitch Black, The Crow, etc). The "Dark City" score by Trevor Jones. Looks like someone already suggested "When You're Evil" by Voltaire for Big Al. More than a little overdramatic and silly, but still perfect... (As a side note, pretty much all of Voltaire's "Oh My Goth" album carries a bizarre blend of morbid and blackly humorous that would fit the world of the Hollows, especially "The Vampire Club".)

Victory by Bond for Jenks and Pixies in general. It's all instrumental and has the right mix of their seriousness and playfulness! Also, Violet by Bones Domingo (also instumental).

17 Aug 2008

Kim, PLEASE listen to the song "Somebody" by Depeche Mode. I swear it is perfect. For both Ivy and Rach.This song is an unattainable check list for friends and lovers both. Hope you enjoy zoe1canobe P.S. go to lyricsfreak.com You should really read the lyrics before hearing the actual song!

16 Aug 2008

For Al Scissor Sisters 'I Can't Decide'

15 Aug 2008

Have you checked out the Goo Goo Dolls or Counting Crows? Anna Begins by The Counting Crows reminds me of Ivy. Long Way Down by the Goo Goo Dolls fits Rachel. Okay, I know you've already listed Sympathy For The Devil for Piscary, but the Stones version brings to mind Al for me; especially after seeing the new video..here's the link:http://music.aol.com/video/sympathy-for-the-devil/the-rolling-stones/1103895 As for Ivy's struggle for Rachel Wild Horses by The Rolling Stones is so perfect it almost seems written for them. I have more, but don't want to overwhelm you with my extensive list. Hope you like my choices! Heather

15 Aug 2008

Well, unlike most my musical tastes Vary so you may raise an eyebrow or 3.. When I was reading the 1st Hot And Steamy scene with Kisten and Rachel (The 1 on the couch and airing out the church) I was Listening to "Beautiful" By Ferry Corsten from his L.e.f. Album (God It SO Worked!) Also Not to many people Comment on her But i've Kept My Eye on Ivy's Little Sister, Cat's Delicacy By Yoko Kanno actually Showed me how Bright,Cheerfull,nonstop & Upbeat she is (Seriously Try it out) I believe you can find that particular song on the Esceflowne Soundtrack. (Yes i'm an Otaku as well =P ) The Floridian In The Leather Duster

15 Aug 2008

I can think of a couple of songs - Wolf and Man - Metallica - David, Love Like Winter - AFI - Rachel and her relationships with Ivy and Kisten, Vampires - Godsmack - Ivy/Kisten, House of Wolves - Kisten - the resident bad boy, just his views on things. He never said he was a good boy, Fine Again - Seether - Rachel after Kisten's death or even Nick's betrayl, Sin with a Grin - Kisten and how Piscary makes him feel.

15 Aug 2008

Two songs which i think fit, both for Ivy. First is 45 by Shinedown, the second is Into Oblivion (Reunion) by Funeral for a Friend, which seems suited for Ivy and her view on Rachel

13 Aug 2008

I found a realy lovely song, i can't quite decide who it should go with...i'll let you decide ;] Xandria - eversleeping O_o the lead singer of this band would make a brilliant Rachel...she even has beautiful bright red curly hair

13 Aug 2008

Ivy and Rachel together: Deftones - Change (in the house of flies)

13 Aug 2008

Ceri makes me thing of flutes, panpipes...andgel music. That sort of thing. And i thought of her when i listened to Haley Westenra's "Prayer" and also when listening to Within Temptation's "Jilian" and "Pale"

13 Aug 2008

omg, just heard the perfect song for Ivy. and the band's style makes me think of the hollows books. Xandria - Vampire

12 Aug 2008

Check out the song "Be My Druidess" by Type O Negative from their October Rust CD. Very sensual, almost surreal. Like the state of mind you achieve when being romantic with the love of your life and when it's over, you have that bizarre feeling like you're finally coming up for air and crossing over from some magical realm back to the real world.

11 Aug 2008

IVY - Believe by the Bravery

10 Aug 2008

for David: Ozzy Osbourne - Bark at the moon

10 Aug 2008

Every time I hear "Poison" By Tarja Turunen (former Nightwish lead singer) I think of Ivy and Rachel

10 Aug 2008

for Ivy Dig by Incubus

08 Aug 2008

- Black Label Society's "Refuse to bow down" for Rachel when she is fixed on nailing Al's ass. - Black Label Society's "Bridge to cross" for Rachel when she feels guilty about Peter and Kisten / and when she is re-thinking her life and her "good and bad descisions" - Assemblage 23's "Lullaby" for Rachel when she is kind of lost and feels overwhelmed - NiN's "Perfect Drug" for Ivy when she thinks of Rachel - Black Sabbath's "NIB" for Piscary and Ivy / Piscary and Kisten - The Vision Bleak's "Wolfmoon" for David when it's a full moon - D.A.D.'s "Sleeping my day away" for all the inderlanders - Deathstars's "Virtue to vice" for all the vamps - Edgar winter group's "Free Ride" for jenks. The feel good vibe of the song just feels like jenks. - Flyleaf's "I'm so sick" has a very demon feel to it. Both Rachel's feelings to the whole demon situation in her life and also a bit from the demons point of view. - Kidney Thieves' "Before i'm dead" just screams Ivy to me. - Jonny Lang's "Give me up again" for Rachel and Nick. From rachel's point of view of course. - Jimi Hendrix's "Fire" for Rachel and Kisten - The Birthday Massacre's "Blue" for Ceri. Especially the changes in the song from soft to hard seem to fit her softer and harder side. - Megadeth's "Trust" for Rachel and Nick - NIN's "Everyday is exactly the same" to me has a Trent feel to it. The face he has to hide, the part of him that is not free to do as he likes. - Machines of loving grace's "Golgotha tenement blues" has always had a very seductive feel to me. Maybe someone under a vamps spell. - The Phantom of the opera "wishing you were somehow here again" for Rachel and Kisten - W.A.S.P.'s "The Manimal" for David when the moon is full - Hardcore Superstar's "Dreamin' in a casket" for Piscary SPOILER (perhaps for those who haven't read an outlaw demon wails yet) - Epica's "Run for a fall" for Rachel and Takata / for Alice Morgan and Takata. For the anger that is there. The darker side of those relationships. - KMFDM's "Save Me" for Rachel in the book An Outlaw Demon Wails. The song seems appropriate for everything she goes through. Soooo I think that is everything I can think off at the moment. I will at more songs when they come to mind! Love, Desiree from the Netherlands

06 Aug 2008

For Ivy (with Piscary) Apocalyptica S.O.S (anything but love)

06 Aug 2008

Hey y'all,it's Tim Nightfire with another song you all need to listen . For Ivy,Bury your dead,Magnolia. For rachel,,'A perfect Murder',Strength Through Vengance.

05 Aug 2008

For Takata.. for some reason I thought Schism by Tool instantly, dark with a lot of undertones.

04 Aug 2008

For Ivy (with or without Rachel) - Forsaken by David Draiman from The Queen of the Damned Soundtrack

03 Aug 2008

Well, I read your Holidays are Hell story, and I was listening to a song by Within Temptation called "Overcome" and I thought it suited a teenaged Rachel perfectly.

03 Aug 2008

I'd say All Around Me by Flyleaf is perfect for Ivy, and what she feels for Rache. -> My hands are searching for you My arms are outstretched towards you I feel you on my fingertips My tongue dances behind my lips for you This fire rising through my being Burning I'm not used to seeing you I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healed My hands float up above me And you whisper you love me And I begin to fade Into our secret place The music makes me sway The angels singing say we are alone with you I am alone and they are too with you And so I cry The light is white And I see you I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healing Take my hand I give it to you Now you owe me All I am You said you would never leave me I believe you I believe I can feel you all around me Thickening the air I'm breathing Holding on to what I'm feeling Savoring this heart that's healed

02 Aug 2008

Burning bright - Shinedown Not sure if its been mentioned or not but great song and it fits Rachael well.

02 Aug 2008

Just a thought, but I think Robert Palmer's "She Makes My Day" sums up Ivy's feelings toward Rachel.

01 Aug 2008

Another Black Day "Wicked Soul" works well for Ivy or Rachel Also Ra "Broken Hearted Soul"

31 Jul 2008

Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" for Rache and Ivy. :)

30 Jul 2008

07/30/08 Jethro Tull - Songs From the Woods This a magical peice for a magical place

29 Jul 2008

I think that Papa Roach pretty much sums it up. Any of their songs can relate to any ofthe characters or places in this series. I love them! x]Cat

29 Jul 2008

While I have to completely agree with your choices for Jeff Buckley; you cannot forget his version of "Halleluhia" for the album "Grace." The soft, almost prayer like beginning leading into the heavier, not quite crescendo and then fading off with the last two impossibly long notes. No matter where I am or what kind of mood I'm in, that song always ends in goosbumbs. Ryan from MN

27 Jul 2008

Rin's "Sea of Tranquility" would be Ivy's song to Rachel, if Rachel gave her a chance. Tim

25 Jul 2008

Newt: Artist: Alan Parsons Album: The Turn Of A Friendly Card Year: 1980 Title: Time Time, flowing like a river Time, beckoning me Who knows when we shall meet again If ever But time Keeps flowing like a river To the sea Goodbye my love, Maybe for forever Goodbye my love, The tide waits for me Who knows when we shall meet again If ever But time Keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea, to the sea Till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone forevermore Goodbye my friends, Maybe forever Goodbye my friends, The stars wait for me Who knows where we shall meet again If ever But time Keeps flowing like a river (on and on) To the sea, to the sea Till it's gone forever Gone forever Gone forevermore

23 Jul 2008

Minias: Korn - Freak on a Leash; Sting - Dessert Rose; Newt: Beck - Devils Haircut; Minias & Newt together: Haunted - Evanescence Al: Kamelot - Descent of the Archangel; Godsmack - I stand Alone; NIN - Closer David: Of Wolf and Man Ever After: Enya - Ever After Theme Rachel and Big Al: ACDC - Hells Bells (common thing between them, Rachel ringing the bells in the ever after) Ivy & Rachel: Chicago - You're the Inspiration; Marc Anthony - I've Got You; Rachel: Is This Real - Practical Magic OST - Lisa Hall; http://www.darklyrics.com/index.html just a reference for you.

23 Jul 2008

I also have a few Three Days grace songs. 'Animal I Have Become' seems to hit Ivy perfectly when she's trying to control her whole Vampire side. I think 'Gone Forever.' fits well with Rachael about her thoughts for Nick. I believe that's about it. -Julia

23 Jul 2008

'It's not my time.' Could fit. It somewhat reminded me of Ivy. Parts of it made me think 'Maybe this is how she was thinking when she thought Piscary had killed her.' And other parts remind me of her persistance to keep her life and dreams and not become just another Vampire. -Julia

23 Jul 2008

Listen to the albums Just Visting and Just Visiting Part 2 by Cog. bondi and the truth and other lies makes me think of Ivy and Rachel.

23 Jul 2008

Hey I was randomly listening to Evanesence and I listened to one of her songs called Listen(to the rain) its in the form of a choir singing about the rains"song" and since Jenks and his family are so intune with nature I suddenly thought of Jenks' 50 million kids singing this with their dad conducting. I encourge you to take a listen and see if you feel the same.

23 Jul 2008

I'm a huge They Might Be Giants fan, and while most of the music you listen to here seems like rock, and kinda edgy, a lot of TMBG have this sad bittersweetness to it even if the song itself sounds bright and peppy. It took me a while to realize that a good portion of their songs were about breakups. Lucky Ball & Chain for Nick. Cyclops Rock for Ivy. Hopeless Bleak Despair for Ivy. I know there's more, and it's not music that most people listen to, although I'd also recommend Don't Let's Start as well, likely for Nick/Rachel, but... it's interesting quirky music. Something a pixie might like, I'd imagine.

23 Jul 2008

For Ivy and maybe Rachel, Papa Roach's To Be Loved.

22 Jul 2008

shinedown breaking inside fits well when rachel takes the were curse into herself

19 Jul 2008

I know others have said this song, but I had to tell this: I was reading "Few Demons More" today in the car and I just got to Ivy laying on the big one and "I kissed a girl" came on the radio at just that perfect second. I laughed so hard I think my hubby thought I was having a fit or something.

19 Jul 2008

Evanescence's "October" is perfect for Rachel and her relationships with her closest friends....

19 Jul 2008

"Won't Go Home Without You" by Maroon 5 reminds me about Kisten and Rachel a lot. t's a really sweet song that matches their situation at first. "Famous Last Word" by My Chemical Romance is totally Rachel when she is in badass mode. -Cat

19 Jul 2008

For Rachel - Twisted Transistor, i thnk of her every time i hear it

19 Jul 2008

Piscary = Tiny Vessals by Death Cab for Cutie.

18 Jul 2008

I thought The Cranberries Dreams for Ivy and Between the bars Elliot Smith for Mineas and Newt

17 Jul 2008

I think Pop Evil's song Hero is Rachels song to Nick. You just have to listen to it and you can hear all of her feelings toward him in it.Its crazy insane

13 Jul 2008

I think that "Judith" by A Perfect Circle is a perfect song for Big Al. The song is just...creepy and totally demonish, in a sexy way. Um, OH! Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" reminds me of a lot of characters actually. Sometimes its Ivy, with her anger and hate for herself. Other times its Mr. Jenks, who seems to always be pissed off at someone. "Chapter Four" by Avenged Sevenfold sort of makes me think of David for some reason. Especially after he takes on the Focus. Um, yeah. Thats all I can think of for now. But I will totally be sending in more suggestions! You can never have to much music. Rock on. -Cat

12 Jul 2008

Flogging Molly "The Worst Day Since Yesterday" Pops into my mind everytime Rachel Hammered by her world.

11 Jul 2008

I have a couple if you don't mind....The Cross by Within Temptation for Ivy, and Snow White Queen by Evanescence, for Ivy and Rachel. =)- Michelle

11 Jul 2008

A great song that reminds me of Ivy and her past troubles, and some of her present, is "Walk Away" by Christina Augilera.

11 Jul 2008

"I kissed a girl" by Katy Perry reminds me of how Rachel feels about Ivy. Not the whole song, but must of it.

10 Jul 2008

For Ivy & Rachel - Corrs: Love to Love You

09 Jul 2008

Ah, for Ivy to rachel. Wide Open Space, Mansun. Check it out.

08 Jul 2008

Sorry Ivy...but Beast and the Harlot by Avenged Sevenfold fits you in GBU...

08 Jul 2008

The Right kind of wrong by Leann Rimes I think screams Rachel and Kisten. Its not the song itself, its the lyrics. Listen to it and sums up Rachels feelings for Kisten perfectly. Read the lyrics and you'll see what i mean.

08 Jul 2008

every bodys song to rachel when moving in with ivy Rev 2220 by puscifer

08 Jul 2008

headstron by trapt

08 Jul 2008

i think this song so screams rachel believe by staind its just one of those songs that hits your core>>>>>Jenn in TN<<<<<<

08 Jul 2008

I have a pretty good Idea for Jenks, this song is a more calm side of him. Picture him looking out the window, staring at the rain. Hes so in tune with nature. I heard this song and thought of him watching the rain lightly sprinkle his garden. 'Listen (to each drop of rain')- Evanesence.

08 Jul 2008

07 Jul 2008

Whenever I read one of your books lately I seem to think of songs by Asrai, Bloodflowerz, Tiamat, Chevelle, Collide, Curve, In This Moment, Hanzel und Gretyl and Gary Numan.

06 Jul 2008

he he!I was listening to Who I Am Hates Who I've Been by Relient K. and thought of Ivy in a way Blow me away by Breaking Benjiman seems to suit Big Al ...yay cake

06 Jul 2008

Okay so I was listening to the radio this morning on the way to church and I heard Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" and all I could think was this is what Ivy hopes Rachael will one day feel like. Zach

06 Jul 2008

for kisten and rachel Tattoo by Jordan sparks

06 Jul 2008

i think that the new linkin park and busta rymes song "Together We made it" is a song that suits for Ivy, Rachel, and Jenks. i feel this way because it's been the three of them since the beginning and they have stuck together no matter what obsticles were thrown at them. i also think that linkin parks "Numb" fits in when they re trying to figure out a blood balance with Ivy and Rachel because Rachel wants and it Ivy is afraid to give in to her because she doesn't want to hurt her so she becomes numb.

06 Jul 2008

Just one comment on your comment about REV 22:20 by Puscifer. I actually see the Dry Martini Mix more as the relationship between them. It's more seductive and gets your blood thrumming in that oh so special way.

04 Jul 2008

I can't tell you how freakishly gleeful I was to see that your Muses have their own music! I'm a writer as well, yet no one gets it when I claim I have "songs" for my characters. Oh, I have a few for Al. You seem like a rocker girl yourself, so you might dig a few of these! "Meaning of Life" ~ Disturbed (Give in, give in, decide...XD) "Shadow Zone" ~Static X (sort of ever-after-ish) "From the Inside" by Def Leppard (some of it) "When You're Evil" ~ Voltaire (this one is just amusing) "No, You Don't" by Nine Inch Nails seems to fit someone, but I haven't figured out who. Damn good song to write to, though. ;)

04 Jul 2008

I reckon 'Bleed it Out' by Linkin Park fits Ivy's 'relationship' with Piscary. Man I hate that vamp.

04 Jul 2008

hey nota music not or anything but i am in love with your books kim and i am diein to know when the next book comes out

04 Jul 2008

Just a Note, for Kisten you have Let the Bodies Hit the Floor by Drowning Pool It's just called Bodies.

03 Jul 2008

Ivy and Rachel: One Second by Paradise Lost

03 Jul 2008

Al: Polkadot Cadaver's Chloroform Girl

02 Jul 2008

"To be Free" by Emiliana Torrini for Ceri. It's got this lilting melody with a sort of off kilter beat that's just a little exotic sounding. And the lyrics really seem to fit her ... It shouldn't hurt me to be free, It's what I really need to pull myself together. But if it's so good being free would you mind telling me Why I don't know what to do with myself?

02 Jul 2008

I don't really like Panix! At the Disco much but when I was flipping through channels I came across one of their music videos. "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and it totally blew me away. If you listen to that song and think about when Al showed up at Trent's wedding, you'd be amazed about how well it goes with the story. It's crazy. Also, anythign by Flyleaf reminds me of Ceri.

01 Jul 2008

KC and the Sunshine Band "Keep It Comin Love" for Rachel/Al and I second Kanye West's "Stronger" for Rachel

01 Jul 2008

Rachel's experience with her dad (and more recently Quen) really made me think of 'What Sarah Said', by Death Cab for Cutie.

30 Jun 2008

I was going through my playlists, trying to see if I had anything that reminded me of any of your characters and I found one that to me fits Ivy's desire for Rachel. Epiphany by Staind, especially the lines "I wanna come apart And dig myself a little hole Inside your precious heart" And sitting here, I just thought of a song that to me fits Rachel's feelings for Nick at the moment. Linken Park's In the end. Hope these work -Cat

30 Jun 2008

I think that "Cute Without the E(Cut from the Team)" by Taking Back Sunday fits Ivy's reaction when she first found out Rachel was sleeping with Kisten. A wee bit of rereading recently:-) Sincerely Yours, Katie

30 Jun 2008

"supergirl" by saving jane seems to be a good song when rachel is kickin butt

30 Jun 2008

Deftones - The Passenger would work really well for the scene between Ivy and Rachel in the van during FOC.

29 Jun 2008

I think Kanye West's 'Stronger' would be perfect for Rachel whenever she's fighting.

29 Jun 2008

"Reckless" by Papa Roach seems to fit Racheal perfectly, especially in the beginning of the series.

26 Jun 2008

Slept so long - Jay Gordan (Queen of Damned soundtrack) Spank - Kidney Thieves Predator - Front Line Assembly (collide remix - The covenant soundtrack)

25 Jun 2008

Hi! I was just thinking that the song "I Kissed a Girl" by Katy Perry fits Ivy and Racheal's relationship, especially in For A Few Demons More, when Ivy kisses Racheal and Kisten finds out.

25 Jun 2008

i think that evanescence lithium fits with ivy's feelings for piscary

24 Jun 2008

I've always loved the song "I Want You" by Elvis Costello for how haunting it is. I just heard Fiona Apple's cover of it today (can find it on you tube easily) and was blown away. Having Elvis Costello playing guitar while she sang reminded me of Takata's music and I can't get the image out of my head of Ivy listening to Fiona singing the vamp-only track

24 Jun 2008

Come undone - Duran Duran anything from the Queen of the Damned soundtrack will work. Within temptation - Forgiven, All I need, it's the fear

24 Jun 2008

For Rachel and Ivy: "Dysfunctional Family" by Cinema Bizarre.

24 Jun 2008

for kisten and rachel, "porclien" by moby

23 Jun 2008

savior by thirty seconds to mars regarding ivy!

23 Jun 2008

I'd have to say "Master of puppets" by Metallica for Piscary...

23 Jun 2008

Try "Come Alive" and "Stranger Things Have Happened" by the Foo Fighters.

23 Jun 2008

"The Pretender" by the Foo Fighters for Ivy and Rachel, as well as "Let It Die" .

23 Jun 2008

this might sound crazy, but I've been listening to By The Way from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and I think most of the songs on there relate to at least a few of the characters and situations in The Hollows.

23 Jun 2008

I have a suggestion for Rachel's mother, Alice. Have you ever heard the Police's " Mother?"

22 Jun 2008

Downfall by Trust Company for Ivy

22 Jun 2008

Deftones "Passenger" or Hurts "Ten ton Brick" could both work for Ivy and as for Rachel "A Beautiful Lie" by 30 Seonds to Mars could apply to the mixed emotions she feels for Ivy!

22 Jun 2008

Saving Abel - Addicted i think this song goes best with kisten and rachel when they first got together

22 Jun 2008

Evanescence - Everybody´s Fool i can't think who it fits best with Ivy or rachel

22 Jun 2008

I have a song you could dedicate to Nick from Rachel, Hang me up to dry by Cold War Kids because I feel like he's had way too many chances. Also Evanescence Call Me When You're Sober. Even though Nick wasn't a drunk I think the words really relate to him, and it could be used in metaphorical terms, as in him sobering up from the high he gets by being a thief. By the way I love your books and I cannot wait until the next copy comes out.

21 Jun 2008

I was scanning through stations the other day as I was reading the latest book and The Verve's "The Freshman" caught my attention. I was reading a particulary intense scene between Ceri and Rachel. I thought that the song fit Ceri's personality. She's wise, but at the same time trying to relearn what life is really like. "Asleep (Accoustic)" Godsmack would fit in well with Ivy and her inner demons. It reminded me so much of her relationship with Piscary. "Touche" Godsmack for Ivy and Rachel. "Spiral" Godsmack for the Hollows. It just seems to help capture the feel of the place in later books. See this is what happens when you find an old CD in you stack and listen to it.- Cristina

20 Jun 2008

The album Open the Door by Evanescence is really great for music, A place in this world by Taylor Swift The Fallen Album by Evanescence Slipped away for kisten and rachel Your Gardian Angel and even stand kinda relates alittle... I was amazed at how many on the songs you have up are ones that are my favorites... Love your books! Adreanna

19 Jun 2008

I'm sure you have heard this before, but Life is Beautiful by Sixx:AM makes me think about what Kisten would have said to Ivy.

17 Jun 2008

Hey Kim, I found this song by Bif Naked and it's hard not to compare it to Ivy. it's called My Bike. Google the lyrics. It's perfectly ironic, she writes the song for her motorcycle and relates it to a red-headed woman, with whom she wants to have... relations with. It made me laugh the first time I heard it. ^-^

17 Jun 2008

I think #1 Crush by Garbage from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack is perfect for Ivy and Rachel.

17 Jun 2008

The music of Unfinished Thought would make a perfect addition to the Hollows. Check 'em out!

16 Jun 2008

You have to check out this band called Flogging Molly... think they are right down your alley. They have a song called Devils Dance Floor as I was reading the scene in A Few Demons More where the "meeting" is taking place this song was constent in the background for me.

16 Jun 2008

when i saw the video for Three Doors Down "its not my time" i thought of the scene in The Good, The Bad, and The Undead, when the weres are chasing rachel and jenks with the fish through cincinnati. the man in the video looks just like a were and is so quick on his feet theres no way he could be human. check out the music video if you get a chance.

16 Jun 2008

Hey Kim, check out the lyrics for "Hysteria" by Muse. For me at least it fits the obsessive and possessive feelings that Ivy has for Rachel. -Nick

14 Jun 2008

HIM-Razorblade Kiss Teresa

14 Jun 2008

gotye gotye gotye!!!!! look him up!!!!!

13 Jun 2008

I'd either say, "So Cold" (by: Breaking Benjamin) or "Until the end" (also by: Breaking Benjamin)

12 Jun 2008

Why not "So Cold" by Breaking Benjamin, if you listen carefully to the words, it's about not giving up, and that describes Rachel. She is so dogmatic!
