Song Recommendation Guide: Book Edition

Howdy Y’all! I hope your finals week has been good and manageable. With the semester wrapping up, the beautiful urge to read thaws out from within. Here is the song recommendation guide: book edition. These are a handful of songs that I believe pair well with the books I’ve read lately. I like to imagine that a book has a corresponding soundtrack, and here is what I think some would sound like. Hopefully you get the chance to try one of these books over break.

Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Song of Achilles is a beautifully moody love story set in the Greek Heroic Age. It is an adaptation of Homer’s Iliad told from the perspective of Patroclus. This was my favorite book of the year. Be prepared to have your heart ripped out.

Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youths
PATROCLUS MEETS HIS FATE by Andrew Achilles DiMestico
Anchor by Novo Amor
To Be Alone With You by Sufjan Stevens
The Night We Met by Lord Huron

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer

Annihilation is the first book in the Southern Reach Trilogy and centers around a team of four women’s journey through Area X. The book is better than the movie adaptation!

Deep End by Holly Humberstone
My Heart Goes Bum Bum Bum by Flatsound
To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra and Patrick Watson
Cherry Wine by Hozier
Oceans by Seafret

One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston

One Last Stop was a great LGBTQ+ read. Casey McQuiston, author of Red, White, & Royal Blue, pens a perfectly crafted sapphic love story with some twists.

mom i think im gay by Boyish
Space Song by Beach House
Shut Up Kiss Me by Angel Olsen
Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now by The Smiths
Her by Dizzy Fae

Normal People by Sally Rooney

Normal People was another one of my favorite reads of the year. Great for the hopeless romantic turned realist.

All I Want by Kodaline
You’re Somebody Else by flora cash
Like Real People Do by Hozier
Icarus by Fana Hues
Wash. by Bon Iver

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

We Were Liars was an easy read. This book is very last-great-american-dynasty-esque, following a girl from a wealthy family and a tragic summer.

If you read We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, try…

Home for the Summer by Sara Kays
As the World Caves In by Matt Maltese
Things We Lost In The Fire by Bastille
Our Time is Short by Gang of Youths
Royals by Lorde

I hope you enjoy this song recommendation guide: book edition and have a safe and happy break/holidays!

Songs I’ll Never Skip

Howdy y’all! You know those songs that, when they come on, you’ll never skip past? Maybe you’ll even go back and listen to it again as soon as it ends? I wanted to share a list of my never-skips with you and a tidbit about why. I hope you have had a great holiday weekend and I wish you the best with finals!

Upbeat

Kokomo by The Beach Boys

My boyfriend and I used to sing this in the car, so whenever I hear it it’s like a happy memory.

Bloom by The Paper Kites

Reminds me very much of 2014 Tumblr

baseball by Hippo Campus

What I imagine people who like sports feel when their team does well.

It’s My Party by Lesley Gore

1960s delightfulness

Melancholy

A Sunday Kind Of Love by Etta James

Not necessarily melancholy, but not necessarily upbeat either. Makes me wish I was living in New York City.

Tommy’s Party by Peach Pit

So sad yet so good.

I Found by Amber Run

Another 2014-esque sad song.

By and By by Caamp

I love Caamp, and By and By is probably one of my favorite songs from them.

Turning Page by Sleeping At Last

This song reminds me of Twilight and brings tears to my eyes. I love love!

That Funny Feeling by Bo Burnham (BUT the Phoebe Bridgers cover)

While Bo Burnham’s version of his own song is grand, the Phoebe Bridgers’s version takes the cake for me.

Savior Complex by Phoebe Bridgers (or any other song off of Punisher)

Must I say more?
