Hommage to Taylor Swift’s Last Kiss. I may have mentioned that the real Tyler and I actually listened to this song on our final visit together before we broke up. I think we both knew deep down that we’d never see each other again, but at the time, I couldn’t believe that it mirrored our…

Heaven is nowhere to be found on this Earth without you, Tye. One sentence. Twelve words. Forty-Eight Characters. Forty-Eight Chapters. Della first speaks this phrase in Chapter Two after Tyler informs her of his heart condition that he was born with. It is repeated at various intervals throughout the novel as it meant so much…

Hello! The Musical Pairings have officially finished, and it’s time to move on to new ventures with exploring Fallen Through and every hidden secret I’ve stashed in it. Starting next week, I will be venturing into some of my hidden Easter Eggs, beginning with a pivotal phrase that is spoken throughout the novel. This phrase…

When We Were Young – Adele. Well… This is the last chapter, and I’ve allocated my last song. I’ve been on this journey now for over a year and it’s come to an end. I hope for those of you who’ve read my book and have taken it one step further by listening to these…

right where you left me – Taylor Swift. I love the universe sometimes. As I was finishing the re-read of this chapter, this song came on, and to say it perfectly sums up the theme of this part of the novel would be an understatement. I was stuck for a long time after this break…

Last Kiss – Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) During our happier days, I remember showing him this song, commenting on how the lyrics mirrored our situation; “That July Ninth. I still remember the look on your face, lit through the darkness at 1:58. I ran off the plane. I loved your handshake, meeting my father.” There…

I Miss You – Blink 182. When we initially stopped talking and reconnected for the second time, we both realised that we’d been listening to the same song to cope with the pain. This is the part of the story that truly becomes completely fictitious as I have no clue how he behaved after we…
