New Playlist for New WIP

I’ve reached that point in my manuscript where I NEED a playlist. Up till now, I’ve been writing without music, but the book is in need of some emotional temperature – which I typically find in music.

Without saying what the manuscript is about, here’s my new playlist (BONUS: it’s fun to run to if you like to do intervals or hills)

1. Counting Stars – OneRepublic

2. Closer – Tegan and Sara

3. Tongue Tied – Grouplove

4. Chloroform – Phoenix

5. Despair – Yeah Yeah Yeahs

6. Worn Me Down – Rachael Yamagata

7. Cry LIke a Ghost – Passion Pit

8. Call It Off – Tegan and Sara

9. The One That Got Away – The Civil Wars

10. I Will Wait – Mumford & Sons

11. If I Lose Myself – OneRepublic

12. Where We Belong – Passion Pit

13. Awake My Soul – Mumford & Sons

14. Edge of Desire – John Mayer

15. The Funeral – Band of Horses

16. Save Me – Gotye

CRUSHED playlist

The CRUSHED cover reveal is tomorrow, so obviously, I should be spending my time writing blog posts about playlists 😀

I rather love this playlist. It’s angsty and hopeful – just like the main character, Fletch.
