Words and music is a new feature I am starting here at BLI, I previously used to do it at my own blog Storywings but now we would like the opportunity for you guys to share as well.
Do you ever hear a song and immediately think of a book? Do you ever see a book that immediately reminds you of a song…well I do.
Every time I see the book: The Casual Vacancy by J.K Rowling
I think of this song:
This happened more towards the middle to end of The Casual Vacancy as the characters true natures and situations started to come into the light. I started singing These Days in my head and now everytime I see Casual Vacancy on my bookshelf (which is a lot because it’s got a prime spot) I think of this Bon Jovi song.
When I see Santa Olivia by Jacqueline Carey, I hear “Choose me to be the Champion” by Rasputina.
any particular reason?
Because it fits so perfectly! All oppressed heroine rising up to take out the assholes stomping all over her people.
