Thursday Thirteen 021: Playlist!

[misslj_author]

I, like a lot of writers, tend to whip up a playlist to suit whatever I'm writing. As the release date for "No Quarter" draws closer, I thought for this Thursday Thirteen, I'd share the thirteen songs that get played the most often on my playlist for this novel. Enjoy.

1. Afterglow - INXS Vid

Lyrics: Here I am, lost in the ashes of time, but who wants tomorrow?
In between the longing to hold you again
I'm caught in your shadow, I'm losing control
My mind drifts away, we only have today
Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow.

2. I Follow Rivers - Lykke Li Vid

Lyrics: I, I follow, I follow you deep sea baby
I follow you
I I follow, I follow you, dark boom honey
I follow you
He's a message, I'm the runner
He's the rebel, I'm the daughter waiting for you
You're my river running high, run deep run wild

3. No Quarter - Tool Vid

Lyrics: Lock all the doors, kill the lights.
No one's coming home tonight.
The sun beats down and don't you know?
All our lives are growing cold, oh...
They bring news that must get through.
To build a dream for me and you, oh.

4.Plans - Birds of Tokyo Vid

Lyrics: We made plans to kiss the sun at night
Hopeless dreamers, hopeless types
Shedding skin you show your beauty scars
Don't forget me or who you are
Soon it unfolds who we are in this masquerade of stars
Tear off the mask, the face you hide is what I'm missing

5. Edge of the Earth - 30 Seconds to Mars Vid

Lyrics: I found tomorrow in today
Apocalyptic and insane, my dreams will never change
Stand out on the edge of the earth
Dive into the center of fate
Walk right in the sight of a gun
Look into the new future's face

6. We're In This Together - Nine Inch Nails Vid

Lyrics: Well they've got to kill what we've found
Well they've got to hate what they fear
Well they've got to make it go away
Well they've got to make it disappear
The farther I fall I'm beside you
As lost as I get I will find you
The deeper the wound I'm inside you
For ever and ever I'm a part of

7. Bring 'Em Down - Lostprophets Vid

Lyrics: Stand down this fight can not be won,
It's over before it's begun,
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run,
Who's on your side, you're still having fun
You ain't the first to come and die,
Digging these graves for miles and miles,
Through everything we still achieve,
In bringing all our enemies
DOWN

8. Drive By - Train Vid

Lyrics: Oh but that one night
Was more than just right
I didn't leave you 'cause I was all through
Oh I was overwhelmed and frankly scared as hell
Because I really fell for you

Oh I swear to you
I'll be there for you
This is not a drive by
Just a shy guy looking for a two-ply

Please believe that when I leave
There's nothing up my sleeve but love for you
And a little time to get my head together too.

9. Will You - Hazel O'Connor Vid

Lyrics: Oh I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
I move a little closer to you, not knowing quite what to do
And I'm feeling all fingers and thumbs,
I spill my tea, oh silly me!
But it's getting kind of late now
I wonder if you'll stay now, stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
And then we touch much too much
This moment has been waiting for a long long time
Makes me shiver, it makes me quiver
This moment I am so unsure
This moment I have waited for
Was it something you've been waiting for, waiting for too?
Take off your eyes, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole

10. I Won't See You Tonight - Avenged Sevenfold Vid

Lyrics: Sorrow, sank deep inside my blood
All the ones around me
I cared for and loved
It's building up inside of me
A place so dark, so cold, I had to set me free
Don't mourn for me,
You're not the one to place the blame
As bottles call my name I won't see you tonight

11. Point Man - The Mark of Cain Vid

Lyrics: The others walk behind me
They're on semi-safety
So some itchy fingered FNG
Doesn't nail my arse

I take the fall
I witness full atrocity
Because, I'm the one in the lead
I'm the Point Man
I take the ride out
See what I can find
I take the ride out I take the lead
I take my men there

You know.
It's lonely out there
But I enjoy the solitude
It helps me push - I watch myself
I take myself to my own limits.
Point Man
Point Man, I'm a Point Man

Now listen very carefully
In the jungle, everyone can hear you scream.

12. Darkangel Gabriel - VNV Nation Vid

Lyrics: Give me time I will be clear.
Given time you'll understand
What possesses me to right what you have suffered.
I'm in this mood because of scorn.
I'm in a mood for total war.
To the darkened skies once more and ever onward.

So many years I stood among the thoughts
And tears of those I served.

13. Yesterday, Today, And - Yoo Seung Jun Vid

Lyrics: NA.
