As part of the Light Series Blog Tour, I have Jennifer DeLucy here with us today. She is the author of the Light series: Seers of Light and Whisper of Light. She is sharing with us her Top 10 playlist songs, 5 songs for each book.

From Seers of Light:

Half Life - Duncan Sheik
This song really put me into the book, it made me feel Lily's predicament, and then after a while, William's, as well.

Good Enough - Evanescence
I have this song listed on the playlist for both book one and two, because it applies in both scenarios. For Seers, it reflected how William would feel more than anything else, and then in book two, Nicole.

Nothing I Can Do - Ben Taylor
I love it when I hear a song that speaks so loudly of the story I'm writing that it seems like it was written for it.

Life is Wonderful - Jason Mraz
So many songs focus on emo misery and sadness, but this one is hopeful, it's got a sense of destiny, which is exactly why I started the Light Series to begin with. It was perfect.

Road to Ride On - Joshua Radin
Though I couldn't find this song to list it on my official playlists, it is so in the running. Road to Ride On touched me personally first, and then I realized that it was perfect for Lily's Story, as well.

From Whisper of Light:

Creep - Radiohead Cover by Scala and Kolacny Brothers [Love this!]
This song can represent either of the main characters in Whisper of Light. Both of them have issues. I found this version and immediately fell in love with it. It will give you chills, I tell you. Give it a listen!

All I Need - Within Temptation
Oh my gosh, I just adore Within Temptation. Just like Evanescence was unconsciously the feature of book one's playlist, Within Temptation really took over the Whisper playlist. This song just summed it up for Nicole and Christian.

Change Your Mind - Sister Hazel
Talk about an uplifting song. If you need a pep talk about changing your attitude and going after what you want in life, this song is for you. The characters in Whisper of Light needed a major mind shift, so, it fit.

I'd Rather Be With You - Joshua Radin [I like this song!]
You need to have a shmoopy song in there somewhere. I've got such a thing for Joshua Radin's music. His songs have so much meaning and depth and yet he can still pull of a piece that makes you sigh and smile like a sap. This song reminded me of the character Christian. :)

Pathetique Sonata - 2 (Beethoven's Sonata Number 8)
There is a scene in Whisper of Light that is intrinsic to Nicole's tale, and this is it. If you read the books, you'll understand why.

If you'd like to listen to either playlist, you can find them at http://www.jenniferdelucy.com/Page_2.html.
