Okay so
I kind of borrowed this idea from Ian Somerhalder. He recently did an interview
about what would be Damon Salvatore’s playlist. Got me thinking about Devrynne
Kaine, the lead character in my book The Devil’s Angel, and what songs would I would
use to make a soundtrack about her or about the book.
So here
goes…
Rev
22:20 by Puscifer – This
song is the epitome of Devrynne. For those that don’t know the book or the
character, she is death and destruction all wrapped up in seduction. This song
personalizes that. Christ is coming , and
so am I. You would too if the sexy devil caught your eye.
Like
Suicide by Seether – This
song has a line in it that made me think of Devrynne every time I heard it. You’ve set me up to F’ing fail this
time, She’s coming over wearing genocide, and it’s the same old trip, the same
old trip as before… The song
is gritty and cruel and I love it.
Pain by Three Days
Grace – This song has a lot of meaning behind it not only for Devrynne but
for a woman who wrote with me for years and helped to cultivate me into the
kind of writer I am now. ‘Cuz I’d rather
feel pain than nothing at all. This
speaks volumes as to Devrynne’s personal feelings. Misunderstood, yes. But very
simplistic if you think about it.
Dance With The Devil
by Breaking Benjamin – Say goodbye as
we dance with the devil tonight. Don’t you dare look at him in the eye as we
dance with the devil toniiiiiiiiiight. Can you feel it? This song is
partially what began Devrynne’s twisted story, one of many I might add. No list
would be complete without a little Breaking Benjamin.
*Honorable Mention* Crawl and What Lies Beneath are distant runner ups to this by BB.

Lucifer’s Angel by
The Rasmus – I mean honestly, the title kind of says it all doesn’t it? Fly away, fly away, From the torch of blame they hunt you, Lucifer's
Angel. Never lived, you never died, your life has been denied. They call you Lucifer's
Angel. <-- This
could be the theme song for the book I swear!
Broken Dreams by Shaman’s Harvest –
My sister is going to kick
my butt for this one because I would never know it if it wasn’t for her, but this
speaks volumes of Devrynne. Out of time
so say goodbye. What is yours now is mine. I dream broken dreams, I’ll make
them come true, I’ll make them for you…
Not Meant to Be by Theory of a
Deadman – If you’ve
read the book then you know about Sebastian and Devrynne’s love for him. If you
haven’t I will tell you this… the person that Sebastian is written about was a
very big part of my creative life many years ago. The emotion in their jacked
up relationship is 100% personal. This song is very much the heart and soul of
their relationship. It’s never enough to
say I’m sorry, it’s never enough to say I care. Nobody wins when everyone’s
losing…
Addicted by Saving Abel/Get Stoned
by Hinder – These
two songs are a tie and perfectly describe in different ways the love that
Devrynne has for Luc. Read the book and you may understand, chances are you may
not, but in that case listen to the songs.
So
there you have it… the music behind the madness.
What about you? Do you have any tunes that you think describe the characters you write to a T? What are they and why?

The
Devil’s Angel is available on Amazon.com and Smashwords.com
You and your obsession with Ian, I tell ya. lol Any of us who rp, or at least have a favorite character, tend to have a soundtrack to our characters, but when it comes to original characters like your's it just makes it more fun.
