I. The Hunger Games
Too Young to Kneel (Echo & The Bunnymen)
Katniss & Primrose on Reaping Day
Who’s gonna hold you when you’re too scared to feel?
Who’s gonna cure you when the pain won’t heal?
Who’s gonna pray for you when you’re too young to kneel?
Who’s gonna fake it when it gets too real?
Love Show (Skye)
Peeta & Katniss in the Capitol
You don’t know somebody’s achin’ keeping it all in
Somebody won’t let go of his heart
But the truth is, it’s painless
Letting your Love Show
Break down, give me some time
I don’t want the fear to confuse you
Right now, it’s all wrong
But maybe it’s all in the future
Dust (Carla Salimando)
Rue & Katniss in the Arena
And your heart was a bird
Scared, still, and alone
And the only thing she ever cared for
And you both intermingled
Beautiful and as simple
As dust
And you were just another lullaby
With candlelight eyes
Singing her to sleep
Still Alive (Lisa Miskovaky)
Katniss in the Arena
I’m still alive
I’m still alive, I cannot apologize
Come fire, come fire
Let it burn and Love come racing through
I’ve learned to lose, I’ve learned to run
I’ve turned my face against the wind
II. Catching Fire
Paper Aeroplane (KT Tunstall)
Katniss (self-reflection)
Well this stone that I have swallowed
Isn’t going down so well
And this road that I have followed
Is leading me to Hell
You’re like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land
Flying blind through anything
Straight into the hand that chokes you
Each time you try to live
And the earth will turn below you
The pressure is building
And something has to give
Song Four, Side Two (Vedera)
Katniss & Gale in District 12
My decision is drawing near
Please, lover, find me
Though the seasons break us up
Please, lover, remind me
That at the hand of the sea
It’s you and me again
Never Let Me Go (Florence + The Machine)
Katniss & Peeta in 75th Arena
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
Though the pressure’s hard to take
It’s the only way I can escape
It seems a heavy choice to make
I’m not giving up
I’m just giving in
Keep Breathing (Ingrid Michaelson)
Katniss after 75th Arena
The storm is coming but I don’t mind
People are dying; I close my blinds
All that I know is I’m breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
Interlude
84,000 Different Delusions (Shawn Colvin)
Katniss, hallucination, tracker jacker venom, morphling, hospital beds
Good love, bad love
Good love, yeah
Our world, their world
Our world, yeah
Go look at the lake, please
Go look at the sky
Go look at a baby
We’re all gonna die
84,000 different delusions
Everyone is a star
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6…
III. Mockingjay
Three Hits (Indigo Girls)
Gale, Coin, & Katniss
Gale (to Katniss):
Would you trade your words for freedom?
That’s a barter for a blind man
And this world’s a fickle measure
I would painfully remind you
Coin (to Katniss):
You lay covered in our best sins
Three hits to the heart, son
And it’s poetry in motion
Katniss (to Gale):
Well I dream, you constant stranger
With your best bloods and your anger
You say ‘Mother, do you claim me?
My beloved, do you blame me?’
Katniss (to Coin):
Well, the first two might release you
But the last one sings in me
Haunted Heart (little hurricane)
Finnick & Annie
You’ll be my life when I’m dead
I’ll be your calm in the storm ahead
You’ll be the beat in my heart when there is none
You’ll be the air in my lungs when my breath is done
You’ll be the tears I can’t cry when you’re weeping
You’re my only reason to keep from sleeping
Tell my woman that I tried
To stay closer by her side
Designs (Elanors)
Katniss, Gale, family, friends & District 13 in the bunker
This night invades us
We are not safe in this house unarmed
If we don’t shoot now
We’ll see this villain unfold
All his evil designs
Our children and wives
It’s spelt upon his face
He plans to steal what belongs to you and me
Major Minus (Coldplay)
Metanarrative to Katniss
They got one eye watching you
One eye on what you do
So be careful what it is you’re trying to do
So be careful ‘cause nothing they say is true
No don’t believe a word
It’s just us against the world
This is War (Ingrid Michaelson)
Katniss & Capitol/Coin/everyone
It’s a wonder at all that I’m alive
It’s a wonder that all that I survived the war
It’s a wonder at all that I can see
It’s a wonder at all that I decide to breathe
Anymore
I won’t surrender, I will fight better
You locked me out, you knocked me down
This is war
Someone’s got to lose
It’s not gonna be this girl, this time
Us Against the World (Coldplay)
Katniss in the aftermath
O morning, come bursting through the clouds, Amen
Lift off this blindfold, let me see again
In my heart she left a hole (Prim)
The devil as he’s talking with those angel’s eyes (Peeta)
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in
A Soft Place to Land (Kathleen Edwards)
Katniss & Peeta
Call me in the night, I don’t mind, I don’t care, I can’t sleep
Call me by my name
All I want is to hear you say…
I’m looking for a soft place to land
The forest floor
The palms of your hands
Epilogue
On and On It Goes (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
Katniss & Peeta
And sand, a precious pearl
On and on it goes
Chance is everywhere
Like the train you took
The rain that fell on the summer air
On and on it flies, like the time we’ve lost
On and on it goes
Attention must be paid
Before it seems we’re one soul short
And a second late
On and on it flies, on a new bird’s wing
In a beating heart, the moon that rose
And the gift of spring
