Obsessing over character's music

Ok, I am obsessed with getting songs that match up with book characters. I don't know why, but I really like to search for the songs. It helps me with character development, I guess. (Good writing tip, here! :-) So, I have been searching for songs for my characters. Here are some...

Holiday-Green Day This song works very well for Olivia. It has her kind of care free, what ever attitude.

He's a Tramp from The Lady and the Tramp I think this song is for Nathaniel. He is so stupid, sometimes. He breaks a bunch of rules, and then half the girls in the school are nuts for him.

Meant to Live-Switchfoot This song is possibly for Artemis. There is one line, that I can't remember, but it works well for her.

Map of the Problematique-Muse This is another possible Artemis song.

Take a Bow-Muse This song is for Dieudonne Legard. I don't really need to explain, if you've heard the song. He, by the way, is the villain in my story. (And he scares me to HECK! How does that work? I created him, but I'm terrified of him, and find it tremendously fun to make him scare the heck out of my characters! I am SO weird.)

Cheerio, peeps!

  1. That IS a good writing tip. When you're stuck on a bit of character development, it's always useful to listen to their song. The good thing about songs is, even if your character no longer fits the song, you can always find a new one!

  2. Yep. But it's SO frustrating, trying to find songs that fit some of my characters!
