If You Will Go With Me [Soundtrack]
These are all songs that I listened to on repeat while writing this story, and even the ones that don't fit a particular moment or character from the text of the story fit in the atmosphere of the story and its characters (in my head, anyway!). It's also all primarily female vocals, at first because those were the songs that were inspiring me to write, and then because I thought it would be neat to have an all-girl soundtrack to accompany the girl-focused story. And of course, kansascshuffle did such amazing cover art!

1. This Is Our Emergency - Pretty Girls Make Graves
Listen here take it from me, we're gonna do it differently
They'll follow when you start the lead
Strength in numbers is our key
Keep on doing your thing you do now
2. Strawberry Gashes - Jack Off Jill
Watch me lose her
It's almost like losing myself
Give her my soul
and let them take somebody else
3. Lora's Song - Sleater-Kinney
But you, you must be real
Or having too long time
But you, you're too surreal
Switching through the face you find
4. Help I'm Alive - Metric
Help I'm alive
My heart keeps beating like a hammer
Hard to be soft
Tough to be tender
Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train
5. Like O, Like H - Tegan and Sara
When I was four plus a ten I was swinging fists, like nails in a board
Pull your hands inside of you, six years till I'll be through
I was four plus a ten, I was swinging fists, like a race to be sure
6. Trouble - Butchies
It's not supposed to bring you madness
And it's not too far to call forgiveness
We hold to truths so false like bibles
Won't you come and meet me here
7. Sister - Letters To Cleo
And it seems that you were always there
Like no one else you stood by me
When you picked me up and cleaned me off
Saw what not one else could see
8. Citadel - Anna Nalick
What if I fall
What if I don't
What if I never make it home
What if I bleed
What if I break
9. This Voice - Ane Brun
This voice
Is it calling?
Is it calling?
It´s your choice, she said
Take or let go
Is it calling?
10. In These Times - Joan Armatrading
These are the times
What hope you had you forget
These wicked times
You're bound to feel
All sanity is lost
11. Flying High - Jem
Back to earth
Where did you take me to
I know there's no such thing
As painless love
Well it'll catch us up
And we can never win
12. Falling Without Knowing - Tilly And The Wall
The feeling was psychic, passing through, electric
My palm against your fingers, pressing needles through my wrist
Hearts meet, though we didn't speak of those things
Falling, falling without knowing
13. Steer - Missy Higgins
So hold this feeling like a newborn
Of freedom surging through your veins
You have opened up a new door
So bring on the wind, fire and rain
14. Weathervane - Kris Delmhorst
I’m gonna rattle at your windows
Rattle at your doors
Rattle at your shutters
Show you what they’re for
15. If You Go - Vedera
But baby, don't you know me?
I wouldn't give up, oh so soon
You'll see me fighting all those bitter parts
But just remember
If you go, well, I'm going with you
16. Vertigo - Antje Duvekot
You're on a highwire and I'm climbing out
And I feel the danger as I steal a kiss from your mouth
And I will try to hold steady
Want to make you believe
That the height of this tightrope is just second nature to me
17. Speechless - Girlyman
I have never been seen except in glimpses of my dreams
But you're waiting here in the wings and I'm speechless
18. A Thousand Tiny Pieces - The Be Good Tanyas
You were shapes you were rhythms
There are signs that we can learn
Place over the heavens
To predict how long we’ll burn
19. The Devil's Feet - Azure Ray
When I was a child a story was told
About the devil and a girl so bold
He offered her riches, a fortune of gold
And lovers abound
20. On Love - Jennifer Knapp
I have waited long
But never given up
I have waited on you
But never, never on love
21. Momentum - Vienna Teng
Forgive me the confusion
Forgive me as I realize my thoughts betray
You are the answer
Cry and smile the same
22. Vapour Trail - Trespassers William
First you look so strong, then you fade away
The sun will blind my eyes, I'll love you anyway
Thirsting for your smile, I loved you for a while
You are a vapour trail in a deep blue sky
