Basically with this one blog post, we get a combination of a super-swoony/sexy book and great music. It really can’t get any better, friends.
Hi Asheley! Thank you so much for having me over today! I just love your blog and it’s great to be featured here alongside some dear friends who have released recently.
I’m so excited that you asked me to tell you about my playlist for Subject to Change, because it’s one of my favorites. I’m the kind of writer who always needs songs to help bring the angst, despair, attitude, or euphoria to my manuscripts. For Subject to Change, I had a list of about 25 songs, but let’s be honest – there are always about 10 I find myself clicking on over and over again. (And my books ALWAYS have a healthy amount of Kelly and Taylor on the list, so get ready for that. ;))
So…here they are, and the reasons they fit the story perfectly!
“Everybody Talks” by the Neon Trees – This song is about a couple of people who really shouldn’t be attracted to each other, but…they are. It’s a relationship that makes everybody talk, and the singer doesn’t think they should care.
“Crazy in Love” by Beyonce – Mostly for the mood of it, this is about head-over-heels, dizzying infatuation.
“Kiss Me” by Ed Sheeran – The singer is daring someone to just let go and let their emotions let them decide the right thing to do. So soft, intimate, and lovely.
“Mr. Know It All” by Kelly Clarkson – Hawk thinks he knows a lot about life and relationships – and Joey’s ‘type.’ As you can imagine, that pisses her off. That’s what this song is about.
“Forget You” by Cee Lo Green – It doesn’t *perfectly* match the story, but there’s a part where Joey catches Hawk riding around on his bike with some other girl, and it seriously pisses her off. (Also, Hawk ‘can’t afford a Ferrari,’ so this song always makes me giggle. )
“Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson – The lyrics don’t really fit, but I do like the girl-power vibe of this song. Good for fights and breakups in any New Adult romance.
“The Story of Us” by Taylor Swift – Oh, Taylor. My girl. Such an awesome nearly-broken-up song. For Subject to Change, I love this lyric: “This is looking like a contest of who can look like they care less, but I liked it better when you were on my side.”
“Brave” by Sarah Bareilles – Daring girls to be brave and come out and say what they want to say. I adore this one.
“My Life Would Suck Without You” by Kelly Clarkson – A making up after breaking up song. The title says it all.
“Love Story” by Taylor Swift – Again, the lyrics don’t exactly fit, I just love the euphoric, giddy, lovey feeling of this song.
