\"VAULT_OF_DREAMERS_Tour_Banner\"<\/a>When Laura from Once Upon a Twilight<\/a> invited me to create a playlist for The Vault of Dreamers<\/em>, I was psyched. \u00a0In fact, I had one nearly complete. \u00a0I listen to Pandora<\/a> and Grooveshark<\/a> often when I work, and back when I first began drafting Rosie’s story, I opened a new list on Grooveshark specifically for songs that connected me to the novel. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Piano\"Most often the \u00a0songs matched a mood from the novel, or a theme or character. \u00a0“Out Here On My Own”<\/a> by Irene Cara, for instance, reminds me of the movie Fame<\/em><\/a>, and evokes all the hopes and loneliness of my art students at a new school. \u00a0“Sleep”<\/a> by Eric Whitacre, a choral piece, has the otherworldly feel of a dreamscape, and at the same time, it suggests unity through its innate quality of many voices working together. \u00a0<\/p>\n

So, for the most part, this list evolved gradually with the novel, but a few of the more recent songs, such as Hozier’s “Like Real People Do,”<\/a> are included because the playlist wouldn’t be perfect without them.<\/p>\n

To check out my entire playlist, drop by Once Upon a Twilight<\/a>\u00a0for today’s blog post<\/a>. \u00a0Thanks to Laura for having me by for the Vault of Dreamers Blog Tour<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Edited on March 28, 2018: Grooveshark no longer exists, but the original list of songs is captured in the screenshot below.<\/p>\n
