A Truthwitch Affair | Playlist for Iseult

All week long, Alexa of Alexa Loves Books and I will be showing our love and enthusiasm 

for Susan Dennard's new fantasy series Truthwitch. 

Today we're sharing playlists for each of the characters! Alexa created one for Safi and I made one for Iseult. During my second reading of Truthwitch, I paid closer attention to Iseult's moods and what she was personally feeling throughout the story. It really helped me choose the music because I immediately knew the tone would be a bit somber and mellow thrown in with a few upbeat songs to signify the moments with Safi since that's when she's happiest. 

The playlist is below (I hope you'll subscribe!) but I also shared the exact lyrics from each song that reminded me of Iseult. 

Listen and enjoy!

"My Same" by Adele

I don't know who I'd be if I didn't know you

You're so provocative, I'm so conservative

You're so adventurous, I'm so very cautious, combining

You'd think we wouldn't, we do, but we do

"Trouble" by Cage the Elephant

Got so much to lose,

Got so much to prove,

God don't let me lose my mind.

Trouble on my left,

Trouble on my right,

I've been facing trouble almost all my life.

"Which Witch" by Florence + the Machine

And it's my whole heart

Weighed and measured inside

And it's an old scar

Trying to bleach it out

And it's my whole heart

Deemed and delivered a crime

I'm on trial, waiting 'til the beat comes out

"I Follow Rivers" by Lykke Li

You're my river running high

Run deep, run wild

I, I follow, I follow you

Deep sea baby, I follow you

"Walk at Night" by Cults

When I walk at night I can't help but I know its right

when I walk alone I'm hoping for things unknown

When I'm on my own I try to get as far from home

when I wanna be, there's no bright light surrounding me

"Stay Alive" by Jose Gonzales

I will stay with you tonight

Hold you close 'til the morning light

In the morning watch a new day rise

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

We'll do whatever just to stay alive

"Dust to Dust" by The Civil Wars 

You've held your head up

You've fought the fight

You bear the scars

You've done your time

Listen to me

You've been lonely too long

"Keeping Your Head Up" by Birdy

I know your soul; I'll be your home

Til you can breathe on your own

Hold tight; you're slowly coming back to life

I'll be keeping your head up

I'll be keeping your head up, darling

Let go of all your haunted dreams tonight

"Flume" by Bon Iver

I am my mother's only one

It's enough

I wear my garment so it shows

Now you know

"Moon River" by Andy Williams (sung by Audrey Hepburn)

Two drifters, off to see the world

There's such a lot of world to see

We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend

My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
