Theme Song Thursday #3

Theme Song Thursday is hosted and created by my favorite: Jena @ Shortie Says where you choose a book you've read or are currently reading and pair it with a song that you think describes the book and why.

For this week's TST, I chose One Moment by Kristina McBride

Because this book put me on such an emotional roller-coaster, I couldn't pick just one song.

So Contagious - Acceptance

Could this be out of line? (Could this be out of line?)To say you're the only one breaking me down like thisYou're the only one I would take a shot onKeep me hanging on so contagiously
Oohhh, when I'm around you I'm predictableCause I believe in loving you with first sightI know it's crazy but I'm hoping to..To take a hold of you

This song definitely describes Maggie's feelings for Joey and how their relationship was before his death, before everything went crazy. For Maggie, it was just her and Joey together.

Paperthin Hymn - Anberlin

Who's gonna call on Sunday morning?Who's gonna drive you home?I just want one more chanceTo put my arms in fragile hands
I thought you said forever(Over and over)A sleepless night becomes bitter oblivion
These thoughts run through my head(Over and over)

Maggie's angry and upset. She can't come to terms with Joey's death. She thought it would always be her and Joey, no matter what. Now he's gone when he was always supposed to be around.

We Are Broken - Paramore

'Cause we are brokenWhat must we do to restoreOur innocenceAnd oh, the promise we adoredGive us life again'Cause we just wanna be whole

Although this book is centered around Maggie and her relationship with Joey, his death made a huge impact on their friends. So this song is definitely for the whole group. Joey was their glue, the person they loved the most. He was the life, the party and now that he's gone something is missing. Even though they are still friends, they are broken and they can't really be fixed.

Tell Her Something - The Age of Information

Tell her she is all that's beautifulTell her everything's my faultTell her this is not what I had plannedTell I am moving on
Tell her love will come around, somedayPlease tell her not to cryI never meant for love to leave her cold tonightPlease tell her that I tried to spare her all my liesTell her something
Tell her I am lost in miseryTell her I have lost my mindTell her love was such a mysteryTell her tunnels end in light
Tell her love will come around, somedayBut please tell her not to cryI never meant for love to leave her cold tonightPlease tell her that I tried to spare her all my liesTell her something
I cannot say all that my heart longs to tell herThat nothing can changeThat all of these words are not enough
Tell her she is all that's beautifulTell her everything's my fault
Please tell her not to cryI never meant for love to leave her cold tonightPlease tell her that I tried to spare her all my liesTell her something

When I first heard this song, I knew it'd be perfect for One Moment.
This song is specifically for Joey to Maggie.
Everything that he couldn't say and all that he wanted to say is in this song.

On A Night Like This - Dave Barnes

On a night like this,I could fall in love, I could fall in love with youIn this dark so dense, we talk so softThe way young lovers do.

This song definitely fits the end of One Moment and if you read it, you'll understand.
