Stay – Mayday Parade Well, we are officially halfway through our Musical Pairing series, and I’d say this is the turning point. We’ve built our castle filled with relationships, foreshadowing, event details and planted seeds, and it’s time to start tearing it down. I probably say this every blog post, but I do remember this…

Early Winter – Gwen Stefani It’s been a long time since I’ve actually read Fallen Through, and slowly navigating my way through week by week has been great… Though, this means that the later chapters have almost been forgotten. Reading through Chapter Twenty-Three today proved to be quite challenging; mere bits of conversation I’d forgotten…

Falling – Harry Styles Upon reflection, I cannot believe we are nearly halfway through this musical pairings series. It absolutely blows my mind. Anyhoo… This song came easy to me this week, and definitely reflects Tyler’s current situation. He recognises how the drugs have impacted his relationships with his friends, family and Della and has…

Torn – Natalie Imbruglia I remember the night I returned from Sydney, I immediately hopped on the PS4 while Tyler completed his school assignments. For whatever reason, I decided that I wanted to play by myself instead of my various friends also playing Overwatch. Next to my gaming set up, I had a record player…

Wish You Were Here – Avril Lavigne I remember driving away in the taxi, our relationship, I thought, was at its strongest and nothing would tear us apart. Seven weeks felt like such a long time to be without him yet it was just a blip of time compared to where I am now. I…

Call If You Need Me – Vance Joy Before allocating a song to each chapter, I normally re-read the content to get a feel and understanding of the emotion felt by our protagonists. I like to immerse myself back into this world I created and let my instincts whisper to me. This song came to…

Come On Eileen – Dexys Midnight Runners Living Room Routine. The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Oh, to be sixteen again and learning this routine with my best friend who I loved dearly—who I loved before we became the people we once were—before he became the Seamus to my Della. I remember this night like…

everything i wanted – Billie Eilish Another week and another struggle trying to associate a song with this chapter. I could’ve gone with another stereotypical love song to complement the themes of the chapter, but I did opt for something different and a little darker. In this chapter, Tyler does grapple with his own potential…

You Are In Love – Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) This is the first time I’ve sourced outside of my already pre-established Spotify Playlist as I’ve run out of happier songs to draw from. Immediately, this song came to mind as there seems to be a mutual understanding of the love shared between Della and Tyler.…

Last Hope – Paramore I’d like to start by saying this was a very tricky chapter to allocate a song to, and it took a lot of time to pair. I read this part of Fallen Through over and over, and I’ve found that this is where Della starts to trust the process and believe…
