Chapter Fourteen
The Only High – The Veronicas I still can remember this night as clear as day; in fact, Tyler’s friend that hosted it had too similar of a name to mine, so I completely removed her as a character from my novel. Sorry, girl! Your house was absolutely beautiful and I still think of it…

Chapter Thirteen
Fallin’ – Jessica Mauboy I remember this Uber ride like it were yesterday—Tyler and I had been walking around for an hour as the camping site was allegedly “very close” to Kylie’s house. It was not. We had been wandering based off of his memory alone and we finally entered the address into Google Maps,…

Chapter Twelve
Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl) – Looking Glass Funnily enough, this song was once captured on video and is another instance based on pure fiction. This moment actually occurred during the first visit, in June, but instead of including it back during Chapter Five/Six, I thought I’d place it here due to the mention of…

Chapter Eleven
Stuck With You – Huey Lewis and the News Funnily enough, I’d actually included the lyrics to this song in my first draft of my manuscript but my editor removed them as it would be flagged as copyright. However, for more information, this was the song that Tyler played and that we danced to as…

Chapter Ten
Time To Go – Dean Lewis This is the first fight between Della and Tyler, and although this transpired in the previous chapter, we feel the impact of this event from Tyler’s perspective. After being heavily manipulated by Evan, we see Tye panic and run off into the night, fearing he’s ruined everything. We see…

Chapter Nine
4 In The Morning – Gwen Stefani. Another chapter and another struggle to find a song that perfectly aligns with the content and themes of the story. I guess it’s been nearly seven years since I’ve had these all consuming love and happy feelings towards this relationship, so taking myself back into that headspace can…

Chapter Eight
Untouchable (Taylor’s Version) – Taylor Swift Original Version: Untouchable – Luna Halo This chapter is a personal favourite of mine as it flashes back in time to when Della and Tyler first started exploring their connection. Tyler yearns for Della’s love and affection, falling so quickly for her and not really understanding the intensity of…

Chapter Seven
Video Games – Lana Del Ray Another week and another chapter covered on this musical pairings journey. I struggled again this week finding a song to complement this chapter as it focuses less on our love story but more on what happened between Tyler and Michael. I do remember the night in question in grave…

Chapter Six
Emmylou – Vance Joy As I’ve been writing my musical pairings, I’ve been listening to the infamous Fallen Through playlist. For some of the chapters, I already know what songs I’m going to pair, but for a few, I still find myself lost. Chapter Six was one of them. For the chapters where I’ve felt…

Chapter Five
Adore – Dean Lewis Still capitalising on the previous chapter’s emotion, we were still very much in that bubble. Despite the temporary scare for the night with the accident that took place, the urgency of the situation reaffirmed our love for each other. Any threat that risked tearing us apart was countered by our love.…
