The second half of Zenith has quite a different tone from the first, and this mix reflects that pretty fiercely. These are the songs that I listened to over and over and over as I was writing, so they had a considerable impact on how the story was written.
1. Howl - Florence and the Machine
If you could only see the beast you've made of me
I held it in but now it seems you've set it running free
Screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart
Drive our teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart
2. Romeo and Juliet - Radiohead
You want me?
Well, come on and break the door down
You want me?
Fucking come on and break the door down
3. Ghost Town - Shiny Toy Guns
Everyone living in ghost town
Everyone buried in waste land
We dont want to
We dont have to be like that
Living in ghost town
4. Jar of Hearts - Christina Perri
No I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
5. Closer - Kings of Leon
You sh-sh-shock my bones,
Leavin' me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby where do I sleep?
Feels so good when I'm home
2000 years of chasing takin' it's toll
6. Finally Woken - Jem
You see I've finally woken
From a long sleep
I'm ready to jump
To make that blind leap
Coz I now believe
I have the power in me
I've got the faith baby
I can truly be free
7. Bulletproof - La Roux
This time baby I'll be bulletproof,
This time baby I'll be bulletproof.
I won't let you turn around
And tell me now I'm much too proud
To walk away from something
When it's dead.
8. Set the Fire to the Third Bar - Snow Patrol ft. Martha Wainwright
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
9. Colorblind - Counting Crows
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding
I am colorblind
10. Blush - Plumb
I wanna be in love with only you
I wanna watch the sky turn grey then blue
I wanna know the kiss thats always new
I wanna be in love with only you
11. Before I'm Dead - Kidney Thieves
Moon hangs round a blade over my head
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead
Night consumes light and all I dread
Reminds me what to do before I'm dead
12. If It Kills Me - Jason Mraz
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
13. Drops of Jupiter - Train
But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet?
Did you finally get the chance
To dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky Way?
14. Angel - Boyce Avenue
I need some distraction
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty
Oh and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
