Song of the Week: Scream My Name

Back to a soundtrack tune for this song of the week. "Scream My Name" is Tove Lo's contribution to the Mockingjay Part 1 soundtrack. For all the Hunger Games movie soundtracks, the strongest songs are the ones that focus on Katniss finding her inner courage, finding the strength to transform from the short-sighted little girl she is into something more, into a kick-ass heroine, into the Mockingjay. "Scream My Name" is definitely one of these, and I love the vocals. Listen to it in the video below:



So freaking fabulous!

Song of the Week: Call of Ktulu

So my best friend's fiance apparently did not believe me when I told him that Call of Ktulu (from Metallica's Ride The Lightning album) is the most beautiful heavy-metal song of the mid-eighties. Well, it is. Just because I was drunk when I told him so does not mean that I was not sincere. Call of Ktulu is fucking beautiful. Just listen to it. It is an amazing and powerful song and definitely a track I  put on repeat a lot.



Seriously, I love that song. I love a bunch of Metallica songs, but Call of Ktulu is definitely in my top ten.

What song is in your head this week?

Song of the Week: I Know You

Here's another song off the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack that frequently gets stuck in my head. I think it's beautiful, and it really does describe how, when in love, you open yourself up to the person you fall for. Since I'm currently writing paranormal romance where one character is a closed-off bitch with an attitude and the other is sweet and genuine, "I Know You" really helps me to get into that mindset of reaching out and discovering who the person you love really is.



What do you think of the song? Do you like it more than "Love Me Like You Do"? Which song off the Fifty Shades movie soundtrack is your favorite? Let me know in the comments.

Song of the Week: In Your Grave

When I haven't been listening to Metallica and Motley Crue almost non-stop, In Your Grave by James Bullet has been the song in my head this week. It's the first track off the soundtrack for the Vampire Academy movie, which is an awesome soundtrack, btw. Listen to it here:



I can't help but dance when I hear this song.

What song are you listening to right now? Let me know in the comments!

Song of the Week: Love Me Like You Do

"Love Me Like You Do" by Ellie Goulding is my new favorite song. I've been listening to it on repeat lately. Once in a while, I find a song that just fills me with happiness, and this is one of those. I love the entire soundtrack to the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. I love the book and the movie too, but the soundtrack is particularly awesome. It's a great mix of songs with romantic stuff, Danny Elfman instrumentals, classic rock Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and more, but "Love Me Like You Do" is my favorite song on there. Here's the official music video for it.




This song especially means a lot to me because it's been inspiring my writing. The love songs that I've really focused on lately I've been associating with the main romance on my current book, Hell's Bells. Usually I find a song that relates to how one girl feels or the how the other girl feels (yes, it's a lesbian romance), but there are only a few songs that accommodate both girls' perspectives. "Love Me Like You Do" is one of those, which means it's doubly inspiring to me, and right now I can use all the inspiration I can get.

What did you think of the song? Have you listened to the Fifty Shades soundtrack? What loves songs inspire you? Let me know in the comments, or tweet me @ak_gossipghoul.
