Hello Readers,
Music is an integral part of setting the mood in movies but when writing a period piece (it hurts to say that 2003 is a period piece) the music is part of the setting.
Like cities and characters, if you want a specific feel (and don’t want to pay lots of money for it) you have to make things up. In the case of Monsters, there are 3 song that are made up for the book, two are references to the Elizabeth series, “My Drums Ate My Baby” by Kings of Rock and “Curtain of Love” by The Barrett Family. Neither of these have music or lyrics yet; someday I’d like to go back and compose these.
The third song is “Shadows Live for the Light” by Tommy Fairfield. This one, Jen wrote the lyrics and the music and it turned out great. She’s really gotten impressive with the guitar and composing.
Have a listen to the song on Spotify or any other music platform.
Isn’t that catchy?
Monsters! Incidental Wedding Guests by Jen and Éric Desmarais is available for pre-order now!
