The playlist that came together for Demetra is shorter than most, and I must admit that it isn't in any particular order. It's more like mood music, than specific scene/chapter inspiration. So here is what I listen to when I want to set the stage, so to speak, for working with Demetra:
"South Side" - Moby and Gwen Stefani
"Heroes" - The Wallflowers
"Hero/Heroine" - Boys Like Girls
"Is Your Love Strong Enough?" - Bryan Ferry (I have been in love with this song since it was used for the closing credits in my favorite movie of all time, "Legend")
"Calling You" - Blue October
"The Reason" - Hoobastank
"Put Your Arms Around Me" - Texas (another song I fell in love with thanks to closing credits, this time for the movie "Ever After")
"Love You 'Till the End" - The Pogues
"1892" - Thomas Jordan
"The Last Steampunk Waltz" - Ghostfire
"Airship Pirate" - Abney Park
"The Wrong Side" - Abney Park
I think The Killers would make a fabulous addition to this playlist. I am looking for more steampunk bands to add, but it's a slow process. Just because something is steampunk, doesn't mean I automatically love it, any more than I automatically love any urban fantasy book or any movie with unicorns and princesses.
Besides, it was Tim Curry's Darkness that really made the movie for me. ;)

I wish I could come up with playlists for my stories, but it hasn't worked for me yet. :(
ReplyDeleteNot that I can listen to music while I write. I'm easily distracted.
Whether or not I play music depends on my mood, Stina. Sometimes, I want it, and sometimes it's a distraction. :)
